Carrie Mead, LCPC
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor
If you are struggling, overwhelmed, or burnout, you're not alone. Life is hard and the demands of raising kids, working, taking care of yourself, and maintaining healthy relationships are often too much for one to handle alone. Therapy can help. Together we can work through these challenges and develop skills to help you feel calmer, healthier, and more grounded.

Dr. Brian Sharpless
Psychologist, Ph.D., Clinical Psychology; M.A., Philosophy
Hi! I am a clinical psychologist (PhD) trained at Penn State and the University of Pennsylvania. Though I treat a number of conditions (e.g., anxiety, depression, trauma), I have a great deal of experience helping people with personality disorders, sleep disorders, rare/unusual psychological conditions, and clinical problems which have been formerly resistant to treatment. Along with my practice, I stay active in the field through research, publications (i.e., books and articles), and other professional work. I particularly enjoy living lectures for popular science organizations in the US and abroad. Please visit my website (linked below) for more information.

Sandra Lashley
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Psychoanalyst in private practice for the past 20 years. I obtained my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology in 2006 from Loyola University, Maryland and completed my internship training at John's Hopkins University Counseling Center. My style is collaborative, supportive and highly personalized to each individual. My training has been in a psychodynamic/ psychoanalytic and generalist model which means an emphasis on understanding you as a person and our looking at the process of understanding your unique mind together and the ways you are currently suffering. The ultimate goal is always growth, alleviation of suffering and a greater sense of emotional and psychological freedom.

Aysha Wells
Counselor/Therapist, LGPC
I believe therapy begins with feeling seen, heard, and accepted. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative, creating a space where you can be your authentic self without judgment. I believe deeply in the connection between mental, emotional, and physical well-being, and I incorporate CBT, mindfulness, self-compassion, and values-based work to help clients better understand themselves and navigate anxiety, depression, relationships, and life transitions. My hope is to help you build a healthier relationship with yourself, practice greater self-compassion, and feel more confident moving toward a life that feels meaningful and aligned with who you are.

Shelby Willoughby
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
Are you experiencing difficulty with life adjustments or social connectedness? I am passionate about working with those who are struggling with eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, grief, relational and social difficulties, and members of the LQBTQIA+ community. I believe that the foundation of developing an authentic self is understanding the body's response to life experiences and understanding how it functions under stress. Together, we will create a safe, supportive, and trauma-aware space to begin healing.
In settings such as partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient, I have worked with adults and teens experiencing binge eating, purging, anorexia, orthorexia, excessive exercise, OSFED, ARFID, and body image issues. Throughout sessions, I complete evaluations to determine whether you or a loved one requires more intensive/supportive eating disorder treatment.
In addition, I complete bariatric evaluations that are required for the surgical process. This service helps determine readiness, address any concerns about underlying eating disorder behavior, provide pre/post therapeutic support, and explore alternatives to surgery. I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to assist patient's needs and use collaborative methodologies to facilitate supportive communication, reconnection, problem solving, and positive decision-making with teens, adults, and families. I hope to hear from you and look forward to jump starting your mental health journey.

These are my areas of expertise. Whether you are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, isolated, burned out, or stuck, I can help you get through the challenges and difficulties you face.
My passion is helping my clients find meaning and purpose in their lives by alleviating suffering. My skills, support, and compassion will guide you as you navigate the path of seeking help and making change, no matter how difficult it may seem.
Developing a strong therapeutic relationship is essential to achieving positive and lasting outcomes for clients. It is my goal to cultivate our relationship by providing a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where you can feel understood and heard. To find the method that works best for each individual client, I draw from psychodynamic, humanistic, and existential perspectives. Additionally, I incorporate a variety of modalities into my work with clients including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing.
