Craig Mead
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Every decade of life brings different obstacles, challenges, and lessons for us to navigate. Therapy is a valuable opportunity to explore and understand yourself, your relationships, and what you truly need and want. I'll let you set the agenda and focus on the issues that matter the most to you. I help clients address a variety of issues including: strengthening relationships, improving communication, assertiveness, and relationship skills, working through family problems, self-esteem, perfectionism, people-pleasing, work stress, anxiety, depression. Together we'll explore what's needed and strategize actionable steps to move you forward.

Elka Cubacub
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Hi there, and congratulations on taking the first step toward reaching out for help. Finding the right therapist can be hard, but I’ve learned it often comes down to two things: personality and treatment approach. I'll describe what these are for me in an effort to help clarify whether I might be the therapist for you. By nature, I’m calm, compassionate, and intellectually-driven. I like to understand what we do and why, and bring this intentionality to my work as a therapist. I’ve worked across higher levels of care with people navigating eating disorders, substance use, depression, anxiety, and psychosis. I feel humbled by the stories that are shared with me and promise not to judge. In my experience, talking alone isn’t always enough, so I use evidence-based, embodied approaches that help you access what’s beneath the surface and shift what keeps you stuck. My goal is to help you reconnect with the full range of human emotions so you can feel more fully alive and move toward what’s meaningful to you.

Joy Powell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MA Socio, MSW, LCSW
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a master’s degree in Sociology, my therapeutic practice is built on a deep understanding that healing does not happen in a vacuum, it is shaped by the systems we live within, the roles we are asked to play, and the identities we carry. This dual lens allows me to support clients in ways that are both deeply personal and socially aware, bridging emotional insight with an understanding of the wider cultural and structural influences on our lives.
In our work together, I will help you explore not only your internal landscape—your thoughts, emotions, and patterns—but also how your lived experiences have been shaped by family systems, societal expectations, and cultural norms. Together, we will cultivate a therapeutic space where your humanity is deeply acknowledged and your full self is supported and respected.
Clients often tell me they feel truly heard, not just for what they are going through, but for the context in which those struggles have taken root. This kind of care can be transformational, especially for those who have felt misunderstood or pressured to “fix” themselves without first feeling safe enough to truly BE themselves.
Therapy with me is not about offering quick fixes, it is about co-creating a relationship that is grounded in trust, reflection, and steady support. I offer a warm, down-to-earth, and thoughtful presence that invites curiosity, connection, and sustainable change. If you are seeking a therapist who honors both your personal story and the world that shaped it, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward deeper understanding and lasting well-being.

Elaine Flockerzi
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Navigating life at any age can be tough, and it’s important to remember that some struggles are too challenging to face on your own. I believe that everyone has strengths and the ability to grow, overcome challenges, and heal. That’s why I intend to support you on your journey by helping you get the most out of therapy and life. I provide a safe, judgment-free space for you to discover, use, and expand your strengths. I also use evidence-based approaches suited to your specific needs, goals, personality, and learning style.
With 15 years of experience in community mental health and residential treatment, I use evidence-based approaches for anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, identity exploration, education/career transitions, and LGBTQIA+ issues.
Don't let doubts stop you from reaching your goals. You deserve happiness and fulfillment in every part of your life. If my profile resonates with you, I would be honored to join you on your journey. I look forward to being someone you can trust, depend on, and work with to achieve the meaningful change you seek.
