Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, NCCA CTCC CPC
I am Elisha S. Lee, a Licensed Pastoral Counselor committed to providing a sanctuary for emotional healing. Life’s journey can be deeply enriching yet sometimes challenging, and my goal is to support you through those challenges. Together, we will explore your unique story, address the obstacles you face, and uncover the strengths that lie within you.
Counseling is not just about overcoming difficulties; it’s about thriving. My approach is client-centered, meaning I adapt to the specific needs and goals of each person I work with. By integrating evidence-based practices such as Temperament Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness, I aim to empower you with tools and strategies that foster resilience, enhance your relationships, and bring clarity to your life choices.
Whether you are struggling with anxiety, navigating relationship issues, or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I am here to offer support. Together, we can reveal new perspectives, promote healing, and create positive change. Let's embark on this therapeutic path and work towards a future where you feel empowered to live your life with purpose and joy."

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.

Sophia Pressley

Your journey in this life is just as unique as your fingerprints. The mental health services I provide are not one-size fit all. I take the time to learn about your journey and customize your treatment to suit your needs and the goals you chose to meet to make therapy beneficial to you and your journey.

Alan Jacobson, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, Nationally Registered Health Service Provider
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families to create meaningful, measurable change in how they feel, function, and relate to others. My approach is evidence-based, empathic, and solution-focused, with therapy centered on helping you achieve clear goals so that progress is noticeable in daily life. I work with a wide range of concerns—including anxiety, low mood, loss, self-doubt, and life transitions—and have particular expertise in performance psychology, public speaking anxiety, panic attacks, fear of flying, and questions of purpose or meaning. If you’re unsure whether therapy is the right next step, I also offer a one-time consultation assessment to help clarify what may be contributing to your current stress and identify effective pathways forward, whether through therapy or other strategies.
