Eve Palmatier
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I'm "Eve", and I've completed my masters in social work and have my LCSW. I've spent the last few years working with the lgbtq+ community, family and youth (ranging from toddlers to 18 year olds), supporting adults in breaking the cycle of abuse, and helping people better understand and manage their mood disorders (anxiety, depression, bipolar, etc). I have worked in a very rural area where I was one of only a few therapists; which meant that I had to learn how to meet the needs of a diverse set of clients. As a result I can offer support for a wide variety of mental health needs. I try to be adaptable and I'm not afraid to seek out trainings if I feel a client needs more from me. I also make a point to be transparent; so if you're wondering if I have the skillset to support you--please feel free to reach out and I'll let you know the specifics of what I have to offer.

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.
