Jennifer Pudlo Therapy & Wellness Consulting
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Seeking therapy is a courageous first step, and I know how important it is to find someone you feel comfortable trusting. My hope is that from our very first conversation, you'll experience a space where you can exhale, feel genuinely heard, and know that you don't have to carry life's challenges alone.
I believe meaningful change happens within the safety of a trusting therapeutic relationship. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative, combining evidence-based practices with deep respect for your unique story, strengths, and values. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we'll work together to understand the patterns that have shaped your experiences and discover new ways of responding that promote lasting healing and growth.
I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, betrayal and infidelity, trauma, infertility, postpartum challenges, perimenopause, grief, body image concerns, and major life transitions. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply ready for something to change, therapy can provide a place to gain clarity, strengthen resilience, and reconnect with yourself and the people who matter most.
Clients often tell me they appreciate having a therapist who is both compassionate and practical—someone who offers thoughtful guidance while creating space for reflection, insight, and meaningful change. My goal is not to tell you how to live your life, but to walk alongside you as you discover your own path toward greater peace, confidence, and connection.
If you're considering therapy, I invite you to reach out. Finding the right therapist matters, and I would be honored to learn more about your story, answer your questions, and help you determine whether we're a good fit. Even if you're unsure where to begin, you don't have to have it all figured out before taking that first step.

Imagine Recovery Counseling LLC (Kristen Gidel Kelly)
Counselor/Therapist, LPCC-S, LICDC, CTTS, Certified EMDR Therapist and Consultant
Kristen Gidel Kelly: FOUNDER, Imagine Recovery Counseling
The first thing you need to know about me is that I am not your Traditional Therapist (I’m an EMDR and DBT nerd and super passionate about what I do!) and everyone that works for me is an extension of me and my values. I value both the science and the art, creative, and personalized experience of therapy. I value both ethical practice and the need to adapt the science that I have to fit the needs of the human being sitting in front of me.
My values regarding client care:
Trauma is something that happens to you, it’s not part of your identity. I work with trauma because I believe people can change and heal from their experiences. I seek to empower people to heal and grow and I truly believe you can. I have lived experience in most of the conditions that I treat or I have worked with them for a long time and have extensive training. You will not intimate me with your experience. I often tell my clients, “If I don’t know something, I will find out”. Many of the clients that come see me have had a prior therapy experience that did not go well. While I always remain humble in what I do and let folks know “You are in the driver’s seat”, I want to make it clear that I have 18 years of experience in what I do and I’m always learning and consulting with experts to be the best version of myself for my clients and my staff. I go to my own therapy and work on my own stuff. Lastly, it is part of my professional and personal ethics to respond to all client referrals within 24 hours. I feel strongly that if you reach out, I will respond. I keep our wait list intentionally low because I do not feel it’s ethical for folks to wait a long time to get help.
My values regarding my group practice:
I worked in community mental health and government for 17 years. Many times, I was working in a toxic, oppressive workplace and was extremely burned out. It is highly important to me to provide a healing and safe environment for my staff. I pride myself on hiring folks that are deeply aligned with my values, highly skilled and trained (it’s not always about years of experience!), and have the self respect to expect to be taken care of by their boss. I believe it’s important to always be learning. I teach my staff everything I know and provide them with free consultation and training. It is the privilege and a responsibility of a boss to take care of their people. If you work with my therapists, please know that I am taking care of them so they can skillfully take care of you! A lot of folks that come to work with me have been burned out by their previous employer and want something more. I value providing a safe, comfortable, trauma sensitive, diversity/inclusive, therapist centered working environment. Burnout will be assessed and taken seriously and consultation support is provided. It’s so important to me, I write this language into my contracts.

Thavone Huinil-Phommavongsa
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW, CAADC, Certified Imago Relationship Therapist, Hypnotherapist
Do you feel stuck in repeating emotional or relationship patterns and insight alone hasn’t led to change, you’re not alone. Change happens when people feel safe, understood, and supported. My practice offers online therapy and hypnotherapy for individuals, couples, and families who want more than coping skills, who want deeper connection, emotional healing, and real change.
As a certified Imago Relationship Therapist, I guide you through difficult conversations in a safe, empathic, and structured way. Hypnotherapy is used when appropriate to help access deeper patterns and address root issues.

Dr. Jeannine Pablo
Psychologist, LP, LCMHC, MLADC
My life’s work is dedicated to helping individuals step out of survival mode and reclaim their autonomy, clarity, and peace. Throughout my two decades as a practicing clinician, I have learned that true growth requires moving far beyond traditional "talk therapy." Real, sustainable change happens when we actively bridge the gap between clinical insight and daily, practical action.
Living with deep-seated anxiety, complex trauma, ADHD, or the heavy weight of addiction can make your world feel incredibly small, exhausting, and isolated. My mission is to provide you with an entirely safe, collaborative, and non-judgmental space where your story is met with deep clinical expertise and genuine human reverence. Because no two individuals share the same path, I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether we are utilizing EMDR to safely reprocess traumatic triggers, implementing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to disarm intrusive thought patterns, or applying holistic strategies to regulate a highly stressed nervous system, our work will be entirely tailored to your unique biology, history, and goals.
As a dually licensed Clinical Psychologist and Master Level Alcohol and Other Drug Counselor (MLADC), I specialize in untangling co-occurring disorders. I am uniquely equipped to help you heal the psychological pain and trauma that so often drive compulsive or self-sabotaging behaviors. I look at your mental health through an integrative lens, honoring the profound connection between your mind, your physical body, and your lifestyle.
By transitioning my practice to a fully virtual, telehealth format, I have intentionally removed the logistical barriers of traditional therapy. You no longer have to navigate commutes, traffic, or crowded waiting rooms to access elite psychological care. Our sessions take place entirely online, allowing you to process your most vulnerable challenges from the absolute safety, comfort, and anonymity of your own chosen space. You do not have to walk the path of recovery or self-discovery alone. Together, we will uncover your inherent strengths, quiet your inner critic, and build the concrete, daily tools you need to live a life aligned with your true values and authentic potential.
