Shelby Banach
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
I work to develop a secure and trusting relationship with clients rooted in transparency and mutual vulnerability. Using a strengths-based perspective allows me to help you to uncover parts of yourself that may have been lost due to society’s grueling demands. How can you access a deep level of emotion when you’re just trying to keep your head above water today? When you juggle your job, school, children, relationships, etc.; it can be challenging to experience moments of joy. My goal is to encourage you in your journey and make aspects of your present life more manageable and fulfilling-improving interpersonal relationships with loved ones, and job or school performance.
My treatment approach is foundationally built on Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skill building; addressing three major areas: emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. With a combination of processing, identifying thinking patterns, and developing skills, people are often able to achieve a new level of stability, peace, and relief. I have been in your shoes as a client and have seen the transformative power of DBT in my own life. I firmly believe that we are not just deserving of joy, we are entitled to it as human beings!

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.

Adriel D. Johnson, Jr.
Counselor/Therapist, DBH, LPC, NCC, CCMHC, BCC
I became a therapist because I believe that everyone deserves to have a gentle, non-judgemental listening ear while attempting to problem solve some of life's most difficult moments. For me, the therapeutic relationship is a special connection that allows for creativity, exploration, discovery, and empowerment.

Rena Diamond
Counselor/Therapist, MS, APC, NCC, CCH
Depression and anxiety can impede our judgment, making us feel disconnected from the world around us. This can result in feelings of paralysis, an inability to create necessary changes in our lives, and a persistent engagement in negative and damaging patterns of thoughts and behaviors. You don't have to go it alone. I can support you in your efforts to change.
I am an empathetic, compassionate, engaged therapist who has been extensively trained in anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, parenting, eating disorders, and more. I use evidence based modalities, such as CBT, ERP, and DBT. I fully believe that our minds and bodies are connected, and bring my knowledge, skills, and training as a yoga and meditation teacher into my sessions with client.

Christina Walthers
Counselor/Therapist, MS, APC
This is a space where you can exhale - where you don’t have to hold it all together. You’re welcome here as you are: messy, uncertain, grieving, hopeful, stuck, hurt, or in the middle of change. I often work with folks who feel disconnected from themselves or others as well as their own desires and needs. Together, we slow things down and listen for what’s happening beneath the surface (emotionally, relationally, and in the body).
I’ll meet you with steadiness and care, while also challenging the patterns that keep you feeling stuck. Our work is about deepening your relationship with yourself and others, and moving toward a life that feels more connected and intentional. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, grief, life transitions, or a general sense of disconnection, we’ll work together to understand what’s underneath and shift what no longer serves you. If this resonates, please reach out. Let's chat about how I can support you.
