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!

Sarah Jacques
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSWC-C
**Note: I currently have a waitlist, with in-person and virtual spots expected to open up in September 2026.**
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.

Margaret Graham
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC, LPCC
In a world of one-size-fits-all therapy, my practice stands apart through deeply personalized care. I understand that your healing journey is uniquely yours, which is why I never rely on formulaic or cookie-cutter approaches. Instead, I create individualized treatment plans tailored specifically to your needs, history, and goals. I don't tell you what you should do—I help guide you to make the best decisions for yourself.
What sets my practice apart is my commitment to authentic connection and methods rooted in both research and lived experience. Research shows that the single variable correlating most strongly with successful therapy outcomes isn't the specific method used—it's whether you feel genuinely understood and emotionally safe with your therapist. I've built this kind of connection with clients across wildly different backgrounds and circumstances.
My approach blends evidence-based techniques (CBT, ACT, Coherence Therapy, clinical hypnosis) with mindfulness practices and what I call "a healthy dose of woo." I bring the wisdom of clinical training alongside the understanding that comes from my own healing journey, including my experience with parentification and the deep work of unlearning old patterns. This combination allows me to guide you with authentic confidence and practical insight—not just theoretical knowledge.
If you've felt unheard, dismissed, or exhausted by therapy that felt like checking boxes or repeating the same surface-level strategies, you've found a different kind of resource. Many of my clients come to me after years of talk therapy that addressed symptoms without getting to the root of what's creating their struggles. Through my "update your operating system" approach, we access the deeper patterns and beliefs that may have been overlooked in conventional therapy settings.
My style is warm, direct, and refreshingly real—no therapy-speak or pretentious analysis. I trust that when we create the right conditions, your own inner knowing will guide us exactly where we need to go. There's something almost magical about this work when we trust the process.
Consider contacting me if you:
- Are experiencing mild to moderate anxiety, trauma effects, or relationship struggles (rather than acute crises)
- Sense that your current patterns have roots you haven't fully explored or understood
- Are ready for an approach that gets to the "why" behind your struggles, not just symptom management
- Want to develop practical skills and deeper self-understanding to create lasting change
- Value a collaborative partnership where you're not being fixed or rescued, but genuinely supported
I particularly welcome clients who are curious, open to looking at their lives holistically, and ready to do the sometimes uncomfortable work of growth. If you want genuine understanding, practical tools, and someone who has your back as you navigate complex emotions and life challenges, we'll likely be a good match.
