Allyson Stephens
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
I’m glad you are here. There is a reason you are here, and I understand how vulnerable this can be. It is so brave that you are here and ready to start your healing journey. My name is Allyson Stephens and I specialize in trauma informed care. I have personally healed from generational trauma and done my work in order to better understand myself and how trauma impacts the body and mind.
I am trained in trauma interventions and in the process of getting EMDR certified. I can help you explore what your body is telling you and help explore how to heal from past experiences. I can offer support through trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trouble having emotions, and many more.
When you come into my office, I want you to be able to be your true self and not have to mask your authenticity. I want you to feel heard, safe, and understood. I look forward to starting this journey with you.

Dr. Laura Testiler
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
Is parenthood turning out to be a lot harder than you expected? Pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood can bring anxiety, depression, irritability, overwhelm, and relationship stress that can feel isolating and difficult to explain. I’m a licensed psychologist and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Specialist (PMH-C) who helps new and expecting parents navigate these challenges with warmth, understanding, and practical support.
Whether you’re struggling with persistent worry, low mood, irritability, intrusive thoughts, anger and rage, changes in your relationship, or uncertainty about who you are in this new chapter, therapy can offer a private space to slow down and make sense of what you’re experiencing.
My approach is warm and collaborative, combining evidence-based strategies with a genuine understanding of the complexities of the transition to parenthood. If you'd like to learn more, please take a moment to check out my website. You can also call or email me to schedule a free 20-minute phone or video consultation. I’d love to see if we’re a good fit!

Aaliyah Gilbert
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSW
I offer a therapy space where you don’t have to have it all together to be supported. I work with teens, young adults, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and identity shifts, including the perinatal period and concerns around intimacy. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in culturally responsive, trauma-informed care. Together, we’ll explore what’s beneath the surface, build practical tools, and create space for meaningful, lasting change. If you’re ready for a space where you can be honest, supported, and understood, I invite you to reach out.
