Ashley Paulson
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LIMHP, CHt
I help adults let go of what's holding them back from thriving, being themselves, and fully living. Some common issues I address with clients include overthinking, people pleasing, perfectionism, insecurity, and trauma. I also help to create more peace and joy at home for parents who are feeling defeated. Sessions go beyond traditional talk therapy to address deeper work for lasting change. I offer a gentle, direct approach. If you are ready to release what has been holding you back, send an email to get started!

Gerry Letendre
Hypnotherapist, RPh, MBA, CHt
My hypnosis practice offers a personalized, evidence-informed approach to issues such as anxiety, stress, confidence, habits, sleep, and performance. With over 50 years in healthcare and a background as a compounding pharmacist and MBA, I bring a deep understanding of how individualized solutions create lasting change. Just as I once customized medications, I now customize hypnosis sessions—no scripts, no one-size-fits-all methods. Clients seek out my practice for a drug-free alternative that addresses root causes, supports personal empowerment, and respects collaboration with existing medical or mental health care.

Kim Feeney

Through counseling children and adolescents, I help clients coping with trauma to become emotionally expressive. Clients and families build confidence and self-esteem though a strengths play based approach. Clients will find empathy and compassion during sessions, but may also be challenged.

Annie Harton Kassell
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
You know how to hold everyone else together, and somewhere in the years of being a wife, a mother, the person everyone leans on, you lost track of yourself. I work with women who look fine on paper and are quietly aching underneath: the marriage that runs on logistics, the postpartum season no one warned you about, the identity that went missing after the wedding or the baby. I will not hand you a five-step plan. I sit with what is actually true and we work from there, whether that is couples work, steady individual work, or faith woven in when you want it and left aside when you do not. If any of this sounds like your life, reach out and we can talk about whether we are a good fit.
