Kelly McCabe
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C
You are probably feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward—maybe struggling with anxiety, relationship stress, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others.
I provide a supportive, collaborative space where you can better understand your emotions, build confidence, and find a sense of balance again. Using a holistic approach that integrates CBT, mindfulness, and somatic techniques, we will work on both understanding your experiences and learning how to regulate them in your daily life.

My goal is to meet you where you are and help you move forward with clarity, resilience, and a stronger sense of self.

Sarah Jacques
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSWC-C
You may feel like you’re always pushing just to stay afloat—managing school, work, or relationships while carrying the weight of burnout, anxiety, or self-doubt. Maybe masking your neurodivergence has left you exhausted, or executive function challenges keep you stuck and overwhelmed. My role as a therapist is to offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can let go of “just try harder,” explore who you are beneath the pressure, and find new ways to move forward with confidence and authenticity.

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.

Kiersten Lipinski
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C
I strive to provide quality care to all my clients. I do this by holding these three strong values for my practice:
Compassion: Demonstrating kindness and understanding, especially during difficult times. I support my clients in feeling cared for and valued as they embark on their wellness journey
Authenticity: It’s important to be vulnerable in therapy. I embrace uncomfortable conversations and strive to be honest with all my clients to best support you with your needs and goals
Empowerment: I help my clients develop their own skills, strengths, and coping mechanisms. I understand that you know your life and challenges better than anyone else. I am simply a third party person to encourage self-efficacy and autonomy.

Greta Carlson, Psy.D., ABPP
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Welcome! I'm a clinical psychologist with nearly a decade of clinical experience working with children, adolescents, and adults of all ages. I see children, adolescents, and young adults aged 5 and up with depression, chronic PTSD and dissociation, anxiety, OCD, and ADHD. My clients present with a range of concerns, including anxiety, ruminative thoughts, shame feelings, and perfectionism. Having had extensive experience in both psychodynamic psychotherapy and Trauma Focused-CBT, I take an integrative approach when working with clients-I collaborate with you and your child to tailor your goals and address needs for treatment.
While we would tailor treatment to further draw out and address your goals, I work to help you get to know yourself-to name and regulate a range of feelings, identify negative beliefs about yourself, others, or the world, and find healthier ways to cope with strong feelings. I also consider how your past history is relevant to your present relationships.
The decision to seek therapy is such a courageous one. I think, oftentimes, we can tell ourselves that we can "think through" or "solve problems" entirely on our own-it's so difficult to reach out for support! I work at a pace that feels manageable for you or your child, focusing on creating a warm and collaborative alliance for therapy and assessment.
