Neona Russ
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC
I have experienced a lot in life and know how life experiences can get you down. What I bring to therapy is an understanding that life can be hard, but it does not have to keep you down. Learning to understand how you react to different triggers and finding the path where you can ease into the response you choose to have to can change your life.

Alicia Polk
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, BC-TMH, CCTP-II
You are doing hard and scary work as you search for a therapist. You want to find the right therapist for you and that is why I offer a free, no-obligation consultation where you can ask your questions and get an idea of what I'm like. As a neurodivergent person (ADHD) with a family that is entirely neurodivergent (half have ADHD, half are autistic), I enjoy working with neurodivergent clients. I am certified in treating both autism and ADHD. I also am certified in treating complex trauma and specialize in working with clients with Dissociative Identity Disorder and OSDD. In all cases, I like to focus on your strengths and I will work with you to find the skills and techniques that are the right solutions for your particular needs. I like to provide a lot of education along the way, so that you can understand what is happening, why it's happening, and so you can make informed decisions about your treatment. I am non-confrontational and like to partner with you to work toward your goals. Just like you are unique, my approach to treating you will be individualized. My approach is both attachment-informed and trauma-informed and evidence-based. Although we're often talking about difficult or painful topics, we can often find humorous moments and share a laugh that lightens the load. You can learn a lot more about me and my approach at my website.
