Taylor Allie
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC
You are not your thoughts, feelings, or the things that have happened to you, but that is easy to forget, so I use a mindfulness-based approach to therapy that helps you remember.
By infusing techniques from Buddhist Psychology, DBT, IFS, and ACT throughout the therapeutic journey, I will support you in actualizing your goals and deepening your relationship with yourself and others.
Attaining inner-peace within a chaotic world is not impossible but it requires regular practice. Perhaps I can offer you a safe, collaborative, and compassionate space for us to practice together.

Monica Grey
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Sleep touches everything — your mood, your focus, your ability to handle stress. When sleep breaks down, it can feel like the rest of your life starts unraveling too. That's why I built my practice around helping people reclaim their sleep without medication. Trained at Johns Hopkins and Stanford University's SHIIP program, I bring both clinical rigor and genuine warmth to every session. My approach is collaborative and structured: we'll actively reshape the habits, thoughts, and routines working against you. Sleep problems rarely exist in isolation, so I'm also equipped to address the anxiety, stress, and overwhelm that come along for the ride. Ready to stop dreading bedtime? I'd love to help.

Amanda Shrekenhamer
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC
*I am currently accepting new clients*
I’m glad you are here. Reaching out to find support can be the hardest step. I can be difficult to know how to move forward in your personal life, work, or academics when fear, anxiety, or depression are making you feel stuck.
I often find that when one hits a crossroad in their life, it can sometimes bring stress, but also has the capacity to create growth and resilience. Whether it’s experiencing overwhelming feelings of loneliness, trying to find your footing as a parent, coping with a difficult boss or colleague, or navigating the loss of a relationship, having a nonjudgmental and supportive space to work on areas of growth can make all of the difference.
I believe that positive change most readily occurs when the right balance of accountability and self compassion is achieved. To that end, I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment where you can truly feel supported.
