Michele Rosa Kratochvil
Counselor/Therapist, MA,LMHC,NCC,LMT
I help clients identify what they are wanting through clarification of what they are thinking, feeling and doing.
I assist clients in viewing things from different perspectives and seek out options that might have been hidden previously.
I work from a wholistic perspective and look to support clients as they challenge belief systems and patterns of behaviors.
I am also open to addressing the Christian perspective as many of the answers we seek cannot be viewed simply from a human lens and needs to be addressed from the spiritual realm.

Robin Renucci
Licensed Professional Counselor, Ed.D, Ed.S, M.Ed, LPC, NCC
As a counselor, I am dedicated to creating a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and life experiences with honesty and intention. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process—one that empowers you to deepen self-understanding, break free from limiting patterns, and cultivate greater resilience, clarity, and connection.
I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique needs, whether you're facing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck or overwhelmed. My work is grounded in respect, empathy, and the belief that meaningful change happens when you feel seen, heard, and supported.
Wherever you are in your journey, my goal is to walk alongside you as you move toward greater balance, authenticity, and well-being.

Dr. Rue PLLC
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Do you feel like you’re always keeping it together on the outside, even when everything feels overwhelming inside? Maybe you’ve achieved so much, but the constant pressure to do more and be more never lets up. Do you find yourself replaying past experiences or carrying the emotional weight of things you thought you’d moved on from? Perhaps you’re caught in patterns like saying “yes” when you’re exhausted, avoiding conflict, or struggling to feel like you’re truly enough, no matter how much you do. These are the effects of trauma and high-functioning anxiety, and they can leave you feeling stuck and disconnected.
I specialize in helping individuals with high-functioning anxiety, trauma, grief, and self-doubt. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT and ACT, I help clients break free from patterns that no longer serve them and create space for healing and growth. Together, we’ll challenge the beliefs that keep you feeling overwhelmed, build tools to manage stress, and reconnect you with your own needs and goals.
Therapy is more than just talking; it’s about real, actionable change. If you’re ready to stop surviving and start thriving, let’s connect. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation today, and let’s work together to create a life where you feel calm, confident, and whole.
