Catriona Schmidt
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, NCC, National Certified Counselor
There are many reasons that people decide to seek counseling. Everyone experiences change, loss, life transitions, and challenges at some time in their lives; however, navigating our thoughts and feelings can become overwhelming to try and address alone. Therapy can provide a supportive environment that is safe, nonjudgemental, and accepting.
I specialize in the areas of depression, anxiety, life adjustments, mood disorders, grief and loss, perinatal health, and relationship issues. Identifying strengths, increasing insight, and developing skills are incorporated during the counseling process to promote growth and well-being.
My approach to therapy is client centered and strength based. Through a collaborative process of support and encouragement, I believe that clients are empowered to be a part of their own growth and healing. I look forward to working with you on your personal journey.

Stacy Lepley
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CBC
Choosing to step into therapy is a profound act of courage. If you are arriving here feeling fractured, exhausted by systemic pressures, or disconnected from your own sense of peace, I want to welcome you just as you are. I believe that therapy is an equal, sacred partnership built on radical warmth, deep safety, and authentic human connection. You are the ultimate expert on your own life history; my role is to walk beside you as a grounded, down-to-earth ally, providing the space and the tools you need to find your footing and heal.
My worldview as a counselor is shaped by a deep understanding of the delicate bridge between mind and body. True emotional wellness cannot exist in isolation. You are a whole person whose nervous system, thoughts, and daily stress levels are intimately tied to your unique biology, your past experiences, and the heavy social and economic realities you navigate every day. Because of this, I look at your story through a highly integrative lens. I don't believe in rigid, cold clinical boxes or passive, distant head-nodding. Instead, I bring my full, authentic self to our sessions, blending a gentle clinical perspective with an open heart and an interactive, highly collaborative style.
In our work together, we will move at a pace that feels entirely safe for you. Because everyone processes life and pain differently, I love using creative, visual, and somatic frameworks to help bring what is happening internally into the light, transforming overwhelming or abstract emotions into tangible, manageable steps. Together, we will gently explore the root causes of what is keeping you stuck, soothe your nervous system from old trauma or chronic burnout, and unpack the real-world burdens that demanding environments place on your mind. There is no judgment here—only a dedicated, compassionate space where you can quiet the noise of the world, honor your lived experience, and reclaim your personal agency to build a life of lasting peace and clarity.
