Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in genuine connection—with a touch of humor along the way. I support clients through life’s challenges, including anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, relational struggles, and major transitions. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that support your well-being and those that may be holding you back, always with a focus on your unique values, needs, and goals. Drawing from evidence-based therapies, I tailor our work to help you feel empowered, deepen self-understanding, and move toward meaningful change. Taking this step toward healing is courageous, and I’m here to walk alongside you as you create the life you want.

Candace Plattor
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, M.A. in Counselling Psychology from Adler University
When a family is ravaged by addiction - of any kind - everyone is affected and everyone needs to heal. At Love With Boundaries Addiction Family Counselling, we work with the family members first, so that they can make the changes they need to make to truly help the addicts they love. The results we achieve are amazing - the addicts and their families begin to make healthier life choices so that recovery from the devastation of addiction leads to their new way of life.

Dr. L A McCrae
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCADC, FOT, CCTP, CCTSA
"Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced." - James Baldwin
As a Black, queer, transmasculine, and neurodivergent scholar-practitioner, I view therapy as an act of radical liberation rather than social compliance. Grounded in the Black radical tradition, I partner with "Deep-Sea Divers"—scholars, activists, and survivors—to move beyond traditional talk therapy and into the realm of spiritual reclamation. My approach is direct and somatic, utilizing Sandplay, Somatic Focusing, and Bibliotherapy to map your internal geography and dismantle the "head trash" of carceral systems. Whether navigating neurodivergence, TBI recovery, or the cycles of dependency, we work collaboratively to honor your lived experience without moralistic shame. I do not sit as a detached observer, but as a witness to your evolution and a partner in your resistance against a broken world. My goal is your absolute autonomy, facilitating the heavy, holy work of unmasking and rewriting your testimony. If you are seeking a sanctuary where your identity is celebrated and your liberation is the priority, I am ready to dive with you.

James C. Carpenter, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, PhD (Clinical Psychology, Ohio State U), Board Certified in Clinical Psychology (ABPP), PSYPACT
My clinical experience is wide and deep. I estimate I have conducted about 90,000 hours of psychotherapy sessions, including many hours training and supervising other therapists. This experience covers many modes: individual therapy, as well as family, couple and group therapy. My basic orientation is existential and psychodynamic, but I have added much training and experience in other approaches on top of that over the years. I am Board Certified in Clinical Psychology, ABPP, have served 2 terms as a board director and secretary for the American Academy of Psychotherapy, and previously trained young clinical psychologists and psychiatric residents at the University of North Carolina. We keep learning more about how to be effective therapists, and I have aggressively added to my clinical wisdom. I stand ready to work to understand you deeply, and help you profoundly, whatever your current dilemmas.
