"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.

Leslie Worley
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C
I believe therapy is truly a collaborative effort for healing. You are the expert and the therapist is a conduit. I’m committed to helping people learn how to live by their values instead of letting emotions and thoughts control their lives. My work focuses on targeting ineffective behaviors, habits, and beliefs and transforming them into effective ways of living that brings people in touch their values. In life, we will always experience a full spectrum of emotions, it's all in our reactions to those emotions in which we build a life we're excited about.
In my practice, I will never ask the person sitting across from me to do something I myself have not done. Meaning, I live my life by my therapy approaches and don't just use them as an "intervention." I also use a lot of humor, direct and transparent communication.
Personally, I love dogs (have two of my own), reading, painting and engaging in sports or exercise!

Stacey Hellman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C
If you've tried traditional therapy in the past and didn't get the results you wanted, you've come to the right place. I am trained in non-traditional, integrative and holistic methods and I have found that "just talking" is the slowest way to do therapy. My areas of expertise are addictions, trauma, and anxiety though I have lots of clients struggling with relationship conflicts, divorce, and loss of a loved one as well. My goals are to help clients gain insight, connect with themselves authentically, heal from past traumatic experiences, and live more fully in the present moment. Reaching out for help is a sign that you want a more meaningful life and know that you deserve it. I look forward to crossing paths with you when you are ready. I offer a free 30 minute consultation to see if we are a good fit so please contact me today to get started! I offer in-person sessions primarily and only do telehealth when in-person truly isn't an option. My experience is that telehealth has not been nearly as effective as in-person sessions for the type of therapy modalities I offer. I look forward to meeting you in person so I can best support you in achieving your goals.

Meredith Luttrell
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCPC, Clinical Supervisor
I believe that real change begins the moment someone feels truly seen — not managed, not minimized, but genuinely understood. My approach is collaborative and deeply human. I bring both clinical precision and warmth to every session, because I think the best therapy holds space for both the hard truths and the hope that something different is possible.
When you work with me, I want you to feel accepted exactly as you are — not as a diagnosis, not as a set of symptoms, but as a whole person navigating something really difficult. My clients often describe feeling like they can finally exhale — like they've found a space where nothing they say will be met with judgment, and where someone is genuinely in their corner. I work hard to understand not just what you're going through, but what makes you you.
And while I hold space for wherever you are right now, I also hold hope — sometimes on your behalf, before you're able to hold it yourself. I believe every person who walks through my door is deserving of healing, connection, and a life that feels livable. My job is to help you believe that too, and to walk alongside you as you build it.

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.
