Bethanie Wooten
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MS, LCSW
Sometimes it feels like things are just not getting better. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, life stressors, or grief and loss you are not alone, it is so common today! One of the advantages of telehealth is that you can talk to a licensed professional from the comfort of your own home, or anywhere you might be located. We can work together to help you find a renewed sense of hope to start to take those baby steps that add up in helping you create a life you love. I have 20 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker. I know what it is like to deal with life's stressors, curve balls, grief and loss, child loss, depression and anxiety and trauma. Whether you are needing help in taking those first steps or whether mental health is not new to you, and you want to learn to manage better. I have the training, clinical expertise, and personal experience to help you. I will meet you with unconditional positive regard and we will work together to see what approach is best for you.
Helping others is my passion and it is second nature for me. If you are ready to take that step, I can help you learn to cope better using various therapeutic techniques, and be a neutral professional to talk to, to help you on your healing journey.

Believing in the power of the therapeutic relationship, I use it as a tool to help patients gain deeper awareness and insight into their emotions, behaviors, and relationship patterns.

Carey Luker
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC, LPC
What makes my therapy practice unique is the genuine care, compassion, and connection I bring to each client. I strive to create a space where people feel safe, comfortable, and truly heard without fear of judgment. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative, helping clients feel supported while working through anxiety, stress, life transitions, burnout, relationship challenges, and personal growth. I work with adults of all ages, including college students, young adults, and individuals navigating career changes or uncertain seasons of life. I tailor therapy to each person’s individual needs and goals using evidence-based, trauma-informed, and neurodivergent-affirming practices rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Above all, I want clients to feel understood, supported, and reminded that they do not have to navigate life’s challenges alone.
