Kelli Hall
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I’m a multi-state licensed clinical social worker who is deeply passionate about helping people build healthier, more authentic relationships—starting with the relationship they have with themselves.
In my work, I often support individuals who have spent much of their lives over-accommodating, over-functioning, or feeling responsible for others. Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to prioritize their own needs without guilt. They may feel chronically anxious, depressed, or worried.
My style is warm, direct, and grounded. I’m not a “just sit and nod” therapist—I’m actively engaged in helping you understand patterns, shift perspective, and develop practical tools you can use in real life.
I believe you don’t HAVE TO do anything - but you do GET to choose. And learning how to make those choices with clarity and confidence can be incredibly freeing.

Jordan Johnson, Creating Connection PLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC(WI), LPC(VA), LPCC(MN)
Individuals and couples that work with me find that they are able to better understand complicated dynamics that occur in their relationships, including insecure attachment, negative core beliefs, and effects of past traumas on current relationships. I also help individuals process through fears, depression, and other mental health concerns from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach.

Allyse Teltser
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Some people come to therapy carrying years of pain they have never had the words for. Others come in the middle of a crisis, trying to hold themselves or their family together. Wherever you are starting from, this is a place where you do not have to minimize what you are going through or rush toward being okay.
I work with preteens, teens, adults, and families facing some of the hardest things a person can face — trauma, intense emotions, self-harm, depression, and the kind of suffering that does not show up neatly on the outside. My approach is direct, warm, and grounded in treatments that actually work. I will not shy away from the hard stuff, and I will not ask you to be further along than you are.
If you are ready to start, or just ready to ask a question, reach out for a free 15-minute consultation.

Practical Psychology, Inc.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I believe that change is possible, even when life feels overwhelming. As someone whose mind tends to move fast, dig deep, and resist “fitting in,” I’ve learned firsthand how isolation, frustration, and burnout can grow from being misunderstood.
In my practice, I offer a place of understanding, clarity, and transformation. I help clients map how their unique thinking, energy, and attention patterns affect relationships, work, and daily life. Together, we create strategies and habits that align with who you are—so that your strengths become the foundation for growth, not sources of struggle.
I provide this support virtually across 44 states—and I’m committed to meeting you exactly where you are, and helping you move toward what’s next.
