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.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LCSW, CADC. CMFT
I am a seasoned therapist with over 25 years of experience. I assist high-functioning individuals in developing the skills necessary to address whatever roadblocks life presents. It may be an issue regarding a relationship with a family member, a work-related challenge, or more complex issues such as divorce, addiction, adoption, or a significant loss. Whatever it may be, I am equipped to help see you through these real-life challenges and comfort you with the wisdom that there is a solution.
Life Happens and we need to be prepared to manage whatever comes our way. Through an eclectic treatment modality, I assist individuals, couples, adolescents and The Family System to achieve and maintain their highest functioning.
Successful Psychotherapy is were stellar education meets relational artistry. Simply stated, you present the facts, feelings, and resistance, and I help you paint the picture to uncover a deeper understanding with your purposeful meaning in life. From there, I present you with a flash light to find your way. Along this path, it’s my hope and goal for my clients to develop new tools that lead to an optimally fulfilled life. Life is a process, not a destination and I'm honored to join my clients on their journey.
Finding a therapist to assist in your families well-being can be a difficult endeavor. I understand the complexities of this decision I respect that you may want to meet me in person to decide if we are a good fit for you and your family. I welcome you to come in for a free 30 minutes consultation to discuss your current needs. It is my hope and goal to help each member of the family identify their individual challenges so to strengthen the entire system. While we can not change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges that may feel

Narrative Therapy
Abelee Groff
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
My practice is grounded in trauma-informed, attachment-based therapy that emphasizes emotional safety, collaboration, and respect for each client’s values and relationships. I work with adults navigating anxiety, complex trauma, emotional regulation challenges, and relationship stress among other issues.
I take an integrative, evidence-based approach that incorporates Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic and nervous system–informed therapy, attachment-focused work, and emotion-focused interventions. While my work is rooted in clinical research, I also recognize that not all healing can be fully explained by science alone. I remain open to the many ways the mind, body, and inner world interact, honoring intuition, meaning-making, and embodied experience as part of the therapeutic process.
I provide affirming, nonjudgmental care for clients from diverse backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent adults. Many clients seek my practice for support around relationship dynamics, intimacy concerns, and navigating relationships that may not follow traditional models. I aim to create a space where clients feel understood without needing to educate their therapist.
My goal is to help clients develop greater emotional resilience, healthier relationships, and a more secure connection with themselves and others.

Dr Janice Caudill - Intensive Recovery Healing
Psychologist, PhD, CSAT-S, CCPS-S, CPTT-S, IAT, SEP
I’ve spent a lot of time developing expertise in the issues I work with; however, I rely equally on my heart and gut sense in working with each client uniquely. I have a straightforward, common-sense style and know the value of elbow grease in making life changes. Trauma in all its forms is the thread that connects the different life problems I specialize in working with. I don’t believe in having only one tool in my toolbox, any more than I believe in having only one trauma treatment available to help you. Let’s figure out what tools work best for you, whether that be EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Brain Spotting, Deep Brain Reorienting, or the Safe and Sound Protocol. We currently have openings for intensives, men's and women's groups, and online workshops.
