Mary Elizabeth Burns, MS, NCC, LPC
Counselor/Therapist, MS, NCC, LPC
What makes my work different is that I meet each client as a whole person—mind, body, and emotions. I blend evidence-based therapies like DBT with somatic approaches and breathwork to help clients not just talk through challenges, but feel and release the stress stored in their bodies. I work with teens, adults, couples, and families navigating trauma, PTSD, ADHD, disordered eating, perfectionism, and the pressures of high achievement, as well as divorce and co-parenting transitions. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and practical: I help clients feel seen, supported, and empowered to create lasting change in their relationships, their bodies, and their lives.

Angela Hartley
Counselor/Therapist, LAPC, NCC
Hi, I'm Angie, and I'm so glad you are here. I work with clients who may feel stuck in there close relationships, disconnected, or like moving through life, relationships, and a career is an uphill climb. That feeling of relief, calm, and connection can sometimes feel so out of reach. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, breathe, and reconnect- with yourself, purpose, and with others.
I work with individuals and couples who are navigating relationship stress, overwhelm, hopelessness, trauma, grief, ADHD-related concerns, and family of origin challenges (including adult children of addicted parents). Therapy can provide a an open space to slow down, connect with painful emotions, and move forward with greater clarity and purpose.
I know it can be hard to find a therapist. I'm happy to hop on a call and talk through what you are hoping to find in therapy. Finding the right therapist really matters, and I'm here to help you find someone who feels like a great fit even if it isn't me.

Kathy Giles
Counselor/Therapist, LAPC, NCC, MA
I believe people are unique, complex, and deeply impacted by their early relationships and experiences. Therefore, I desire to connect and journey with people as they pursue healing and wholeness in their lives through processing their past and coming to understand how it shows up in the present. I believe that the therapeutic process is collaborative and relational, and thus, the most impactful part of therapy is the bond created between the client and myself. If you would like someone to come alongside you as you process through your relationships and experiences, I would be honored to help you.

Tricia Osterberger
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LCAS
I believe we are often made to feel defective or broken when we aren't born with the "proper default settings." Learning to navigate a world that doesn't feel like it was built for you can lead to burn out, anxiety, depression, attachment wounds, relationship challenges, and substance use just to name a few. I work with people who are trying to find a new way to be in the world and to relate to themselves and other people, who don't need "fixing" to fit into the dominant culture.

Susan Liddy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MAMFT
Do you feel stuck in the same painful cycle—arguing, shutting down, or clinging tighter, only to end up more disconnected? You may lie awake replaying conversations, wondering if you’re “too much” or “not enough,” or fearing a relationship won’t last. Even when you care deeply, old wounds and attachment injuries can quietly erode closeness. What you long for is safety, trust & the feeling of being understood, accepted & loved.

Mikela Hallmark
Therapist, MS, LPC, LMHC
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to what lives beneath the surface — the unspoken tension in a room, the quiet ache behind someone’s words, the patterns that repeat in our lives no matter how hard we try to outgrow them. Counseling, for me, was never just a profession; it was I felt passionate about. Training refined it. Time and practice deepened it.
I’ve spent over 14 years walking alongside people in the most vulnerable, honest, and transformative moments of their lives. I’ve worked in residential settings, universities, private practice — and now run therapy group built around one core belief: meaningful change is possible when people feel seen, not managed.

Annie Phannick
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
My path as a therapist is guided by a belief in the power of relationships, emotional connection, and the wisdom of the nervous system. I integrate attachment science with neuroscience-informed strategies to help you understand the language of your own nervous system. Whether we are using Internal Family Systems (IFS) to explore your internal world, EMDR to process past trauma, or Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to strengthen your partnership, my goal is to help you create a sense of safety that lives in your body, not just your mind.
Ultimately, I am committed to helping you build resilience, foster healthy relationships, and achieve lasting change. I look forward to walking alongside you as you rediscover your path to connection.

Palmer McCluskey, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I am very passionate about helping other people as I believe that every person is inherently valuable and worthy of living a meaningful and balanced life.
As a therapist, I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental environment for my clients. Much of my clinical experience includes working with adults and adolescents who struggle with addiction, depression, and anxiety. I also enjoy working with those who are simply in the process of adjusting to challenging life circumstances and events (i.e., the loss of a loved one, starting a new job, coping with a global pandemic). In all of these cases, I believe that change and healing take place in the context of relationships with others, and I consider it a privilege to cultivate therapeutic relationships with people who are working towards making meaningful changes.
I draw from several theories of psychotherapy, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and person-centered therapy. As a clinician who also has an educational background in theological studies, I integrate spirituality and spiritual formation into counseling when desired by clients, always with the intention of helping clients achieve their goals.
