Amanda Durham
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPCC-S, NCC
Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or like you’ve lost your sense of self? Whether you're navigating the early stages of motherhood or facing the pressure of college and early career life, you don’t have to do it alone. I specialize in working with women and young adults who appear “high-functioning” on the outside but are silently struggling with anxiety, burnout, identity shifts, or life transitions.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I provide a supportive space to help you process your experiences, reconnect with yourself, and build practical tools to feel more confident and in control.
I offer flexible telehealth sessions for clients across Kentucky. Whether you're a new mom adjusting to major life changes, or a college student balancing expectations and anxiety, I’m here to support you. Reach out today for a free 15-minute consultation.

Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that meaningful change begins with understanding—of ourselves, our patterns, and the biological and emotional systems that shape how we experience the world. I work with individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of concerns, integrating clinical experience, psychological insight, and education about how the brain and nervous system function under stress, trauma, and emotional strain.
Throughout my career in community mental health, private practice, medical settings, and teaching, I have worked with people facing complex emotional and relational challenges. These experiences have shaped a practical, compassionate, and direct style that focuses on helping clients understand why they feel and react the way they do, while developing concrete skills for change. I believe therapy is not only about symptom relief but about increasing self-awareness, emotional regulation, and the ability to navigate life with greater clarity and intention.
My work often includes helping clients understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and physiological responses. By learning how to regulate the nervous system and tolerate uncertainty, individuals can respond more thoughtfully rather than react automatically. I aim to create a collaborative and respectful therapeutic environment where clients feel safe to explore difficult experiences, retell their stories when needed, and move toward a stronger sense of stability and self-understanding.
Therapy is a process of growth, accountability, and compassion. Whether someone is navigating anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions, my goal is to help them build insight, resilience, and a more grounded sense of who they are and how they want to live.

Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Many of the women I work with are capable, caring, and used to holding everything together, even when it comes at the cost of their own bandwidth. From the outside, life may look steady, but internally there can be tension, exhaustion, or a quiet sense of disconnection. I offer trauma informed, relational therapy for women who are ready to understand themselves more deeply and find a way of living that feels more sustainable. My work is grounded in attachment and nervous system awareness, and I approach therapy as a collaborative process rooted in genuine conversation rather than quick fixes. If you are looking for a space where you can show up honestly and feel met as a whole person, I invite you to connect for a consultation.
