Peace and Balance Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Will I ever feel like myself again? It can feel as though a part of you has vanished, leaving behind an emptiness nothing seems to ease. Life feels muted; colors less vivid, joy just out of reach. Some days, you hardly recognize the person you’ve become. You want to move forward, yet every step feels heavy and uncertain. When you think about the future, it often appears distant and dark, leaving you wondering how life reached this point.
Therapy with me offers a safe, supportive space to untangle the layers of your emotions, thoughts, and experiences. I provide a compassionate environment where you can openly explore anxiety, depression, and the challenges weighing on you. Even if you feel trapped by your current circumstances, it is possible to find clarity, direction, and a sense of freedom through working with a professional.
Will happiness return? Yes. Counseling can help you reconnect with who you want to be and how you want to feel. This is your opportunity to make a change and step away from the life that has been holding you down. Take the step you’ve been postponing and reconnect with your confident, joyful self. I’m here to help when you’re ready. Reach out today to begin.

Catriona Schmidt
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, NCC, National Certified Counselor
There are many reasons that people decide to seek counseling. Everyone experiences change, loss, life transitions, and challenges at some time in their lives; however, navigating our thoughts and feelings can become overwhelming to try and address alone. Therapy can provide a supportive environment that is safe, nonjudgemental, and accepting.
I specialize in the areas of depression, anxiety, life adjustments, mood disorders, grief and loss, perinatal health, and relationship issues. Identifying strengths, increasing insight, and developing skills are incorporated during the counseling process to promote growth and well-being.
My approach to therapy is client centered and strength based. Through a collaborative process of support and encouragement, I believe that clients are empowered to be a part of their own growth and healing. I look forward to working with you on your personal journey.

Larissa Crane, LICSW, RYT
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW, EMDR Certified
What makes my practice different is the combination of clinical expertise, compassion, and real-world experience I bring to every client. I understand that seeking therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when you are navigating trauma, relationship difficulties, or the complexities of the family court system. I offer a safe, judgment-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful change. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, trauma, a high-conflict relationship, or simply feel stuck, I will work collaboratively with you to understand what is getting in the way and help you move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and peace.
