Melanie Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, LCMHC, Coach
Therapy with me is collaborative, practical, and refreshingly human. I bring extensive experience in relationships, sexuality, trauma, and neurodivergence, along with a genuine curiosity about what makes each person tick. You won’t find judgment, canned advice, or a one-size-fits-all approach here. Instead, we’ll make sense of the patterns that keep showing up, explore what’s underneath them, and find strategies that actually fit your life. If you’re looking for a therapist who can handle complicated conversations, appreciate nuance, and help you create meaningful change while still being a real person in the room, we may be a great fit.

Kristina Young
Therapist, LCMFT
Anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), panic, and trauma symptoms prevent those who live with them from getting to fully inhabit their lives. Forever stuck in a mental movie of either a catastrophic, imagined future or an irredeemably tarnished past, you're forced to erect a living at the margins of your life, perpetually trying to protect and perfect a life you never get to actually live. I know this from both firsthand and professional experience. It is, therefore, my great privilege to support individuals who live with these conditions to return to living as they have always wanted to- that is, fully...imperfectly...thoroughly, and free.

Merritt Leonhardt
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSCSW, CDWF, MCLC
I am drawn to raw unfiltered courage. Going to therapy a brave choice and it takes tenacity and grit to feel differently and make changes in our lives. When we deny our stories, they define us. When we own our stories, we become the author who writes the brave new ending. Together we will examine the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that are holding you back identify the new choices and practices that will move you toward more authentic and wholehearted living. Rarely is that decision a whim or an impulse, and most likely you've been thinking about this for a while. Now here you are; being curious and maybe nervous and scared at the same time. In my opinion - that is bravery and brave things are rarely comfortable, but always worth trying.
Whether you are looking to make a shift in your relationships, provide help and guidance for your children, or you have reached a point in your own life where you no longer want to "figure it out alone"- you have come to a good place to get moving. It can get better.
We all struggle at times - with anxiety, depression, and stress - along with the circumstances in our lives that contribute to these feelings. The "feelings" themselves are never wrong. Where we get into trouble (and can feel stuck in them) is when we can't make sense of it all and isolation creeps in. You're not in this alone.

Dr. Danielle Goodwin
Psychologist, Psy.D.
As an experienced psychologist with over 20 years of experience, it is my honor to assist you in working towards your journey to psychological wellness. At the heart of my practice is a dedication to helping others to heal, grow and empower you to find hope from the most difficult experiences. Great emphasis is placed on building a trustworthy relationship and providing compassionate care so individuals can access their inner wisdom, change ineffective thoughts and behaviors, process emotions, problem-solve challenging situations, and learn tools to help you cope. While Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is often utilized, strategies are tailored to meet each individual's unique needs and desires. Focus is placed on the whole individual (mind, body, emotional and spiritual/faith for those who desire). I look forward to providing guidance and support every step of the way on your journey to wellness so you can learn action-oriented tools to help you and/or your family create effective change and become the best version you are meant to be. Please call via telephone for a free consultation today to see if we would work well together and if I can meet your needs.

Downhome Counseling , Susan Glass, PsyD., LMLP
Psychologist, PsyD., LMLP
I returned to school later in life, initially to show my boys I believed in education. Took Psy 101 my first semester and as they say the rest is history. After 10 years in school, a year internship and finally receiving my degree the journey began. I have worked in adolescent group home, Tennessee State Prison, Nursing/Rehabilitation Homes and community mental health. I am now in my 3rd full year of private practice, and this is where I was meant to be. I know the struggles and my hope is to make it easier on others, as they navigate their struggles. No problem is too small or obstacles too large. At the end of the day my hope is to help people find who they want to be and to learn to be successful at that.
