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.

Kirk Shelton
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I approach therapy as a practical and relational process rather than a set of techniques. People usually come in when long-standing ways of coping no longer fit their current life, even if those strategies once made sense. My work focuses on understanding how those patterns developed, how they continue to function, and how they can be reorganized in ways that support greater flexibility and self-direction. Change matters to me as it shows up in how a person lives, relates, and responds outside the therapy space.
