Cheryl Boucher
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
My approach to chronic pain, depression, anxiety, and trauma is informed by my professional training and mental health journey. I’ll focus on understanding your experiences and will ask you about your medical and mental health history, past treatments, and what you want to change or improve in your life. I will listen to your story and how it has affected your daily functioning, emotions, thoughts, and quality of life. From there, we will work together to create a treatment plan that reflects your specific needs, goals, and hopes for overcoming chronic pain, depression, anxiety, and trauma.

Center for Authentic Life & Relationship, LLC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LPC, LMFT, CPCS, CSAT-S, CAADC, EMDR, CSTOP-Candidate
Recovering from PTSD and trauma can feel intimidating, especially when painful memories of abuse begin to surface. My role as a therapist is to provide a safe, steady, and compassionate space where you can begin to process what happened and discover that healing is possible. We can also work together to build healthier coping skills that support recovery and help reduce reliance on addictive behaviors. You do not have to face this alone—take the first step toward healing today.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Kaijah Bjorklund
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LMHC
I'm Kaijah Bjorklund, a Licensed Professional Counselor with 12 years of experience helping adults move out of survival mode and into genuine freedom. My path to this work wasn't a straight line. Before becoming a therapist, I worked as an Outward Bound wilderness instructor and counselor, studied holistic health and bodywork, and spent years developing a deep understanding of how the nervous system holds and releases pain. That whole-person foundation shapes everything I do.
I show up as my genuine self in every session — approachable, grounded, empathetic, and not easily shaken. I've heard it all, and I can help you hold it. We may laugh together, cry together, or simply sit with what's real. Whatever comes up, I'm here for it.This is an inclusive practice. My clients come from a wide range of backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ individuals and communities that are often marginalized or underserved. You don't have to edit yourself here. All of who you are is welcomed.If you're ready to stop surviving and start living,

We all have life experiences, and I am not exempt from this. If allowed, our experiences can bring us to a place of fortitude, courage, and hope. You don’t have to carry your pain alone.
