Jesika Doty - Amphora Mental Health Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Life can be full of twists and turns, ups and downs. Utilizing many modalities to provide a framework for your growth and learning by first meeting you exactly where you are, is the foundation of my practice. I help you navigate the twists and turns and the ups and downs by offering a safe space to explore your history of trauma, abuse, loss, grief, and transitions. I specialize in trauma and grief work as I have walked this path as a young widow. You've made this first step towards an abundant life - take the next step and reach out for a free consultation to make sure we're the right fit.

Sarah Green
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
If you're in a season of change or uncertainty, stuck in a loop of intrusive thoughts, or carrying old wounds that still shape how you move through the world, you don't have to figure it out alone. I specialize in treating OCD and trauma, with certified training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). As a queer, trauma-informed provider, I want you to feel seen for all of who you are, not just your symptoms. I work with teens, adults, and older adults in person in Laramie, WY and online throughout Wyoming and Maine. Make the brave move to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation call, and we can work together on your healing journey.

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.

Somatic
Dr. Maureen J Gallagher
Psychologist, PhD
Many of my clients sense something is wrong but can’t quite name it. They may feel depressed, anxious, or reactive in their relationships, or find that even real achievements leave them feeling empty. Some recognize that early experiences are still quietly shaping how they feel, relate, and see themselves.
I am a Licensed Psychologist in New York and New Jersey and hold an APIT credential to provide telehealth in all PSYPACT states. With 20 years of experience in somatic modalities, I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and SE Faculty member. I also practice and teach Inner Relationship Focusing, a compassionate embodied parts work model, and draw on Deep Brain Reorienting and Emotion Focused Therapy. These approaches pay close attention to what the body holds: the fear, tension, bracing, numbness, or shutdown that often sits underneath long-standing patterns. As we slow down and notice sensation, emotion, and the different parts of you that carry old pain, your nervous system has room to settle and those patterns can begin to shift.
I work with adults navigating relationship trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, chronic stress, and repeating old patterns, and I have extensive experience with developmental trauma as well as medical trauma and illness. For those who experienced early trauma, building a kind and positive relationship with yourself is central to healing, and it is at the heart of how I work.
Sessions take place through secure video, so you can do this work from the privacy and comfort of your own space. Somatic work adapts well to telehealth, and many people find it easier to feel greater ease at home. My approach is warm and non-judgmental, and we move gently, at your pace.
You don’t need to arrive with clarity. Wanting something different is enough to begin.
