Nefertiti Nowell
Therapist, Dr.
Seeking help is a powerful step to improving your quality of life. Talking to someone about whatever your concerns are is something that almost anyone can benefit from, but many people are afraid to reach out. If you are considering therapy or coaching, I applaud you, and I really do want to help you find what you need to feel POWERFUL and help you develop the tools to have peace in your life.
I enjoy working with diverse clients, and have treated patients on the inpatient as well as outpatient basis. I began providing therapy in 1996, and have worked full time in several local hospitals before deciding to work full time in outpatient private practice. Though I work with many populations, I enjoy helping individuals with issues of trauma as well as working with couples. I work with all age ranges and have helped clients with a range of diagnosis. I use a variety of techniques, including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. I am also a Certified Hypnotist and a trained mediator.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) has proved revolutionary for me and many clients I have worked with on reshaping our relationship to sadness and despair from one of trying to avoid or control it OR be overwhelmed and drowned by it to one of acceptance and management of it. This latter way of relating to any unpleasant thought or feeling allows us to continue to thrive and be present for life even while we are experiencing it.

Claudia Mellott
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LCPC
Depression can be a chronic illness or be brought about by a variety of life circumstances. The slipping of self care is one of the many symptoms of depression as well as sleep disturbances, isolating, excessive crying, loss of energy, rumination, losing interest in life and/or in loved ones, sudden weight loss or weight gain. Needless to say, these symptoms impact all areas of life. It is important that an individual gain an awareness of these symptoms and reach out for help. My approach is eclectic in using psychodynamic therapy to help us know how the events and patterns of the past has affected us; ACT (acceptance-commitment therapy) and CBT (cognitive-behavioral therapy) to help define and change thought patterns that are unproductive; and compassion and patience as resilience returns. Improvements can be made with us working collaboratively.

Teri L. Murphy
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S., LCPC
"Self-doubt creeps in and that swiftly turns to depression." Depression can manifests in many ways: irritability, melancholy, misery, sadness, despondency, despair, moodiness, pessimism, and hopelessness. Depression is a common and serious mental health illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act. Fortunately, it is also treatable. In my practice I utilize the therapeutic approach that best fits the individual. Whether it is solution-oriented, talk therapy, CBT or depth work, depression can diminish. There is no reason to go through life with chronic or prolonged depression. Please contact me and to schedule an appointment. There is help and hope for you.
