Aaron Goodrich
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, Level 2 IFS therapist
Our early attachment patterns leave deep imprints that shape how we relate, love, and experience connection throughout our lives. It is a true privilege to walk alongside individuals and couples from all walks of life—helping them grow in self-awareness, emotional healing, and abiding intimacy with God and others. My desire is to support clients in living with greater freedom, wholeness, and joy, in alignment with Christ’s invitation to “have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10).

Ann Abbey
Limited License Psychologist, MA, LLP, RYT
Do you ever lie awake replaying conversations, wondering if you said the wrong thing, or wishing you could take care of everyone without feeling so depleted? Maybe you move through your days on autopilot—doing everything you’re “supposed” to do—yet still feeling a quiet ache inside. You want to slow down, feel more present, and experience real moments of connection and joy. But no matter how hard you try, something still feels off. You just want to know that you’re going to be okay.
Together, we’ll gently explore what’s keeping you up at night and what patterns aren’t serving you anymore. You’ll have a warm, grounded space to bring your worries, your exhaustion, your questions, and the parts of yourself you’ve kept hidden. I’ll meet you there—with care, honesty, and the kind of support that lets you show up exactly as you are, without performing or pleasing.
In our work, you’ll begin to reconnect with your inner steadiness, soften the fear and self-doubt that keep you stuck, strengthen the relationships that matter, and make room for more ease, clarity, and joy.
Sessions are available by video or phone, making it simple to get the support you need. If this resonates, I’d love to talk. You can reach out through my website or give me a call; I look forward to connecting.

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.

Pleshe Counseling Services
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I truly care about my clients and believe therapy works best when it’s built on trust, honesty, and respect. I’m known for my direct but compassionate approach—I’ll gently encourage you to explore those deeper parts of yourself, because I know that’s where real healing and transformation begin!
I also believe that growth is a lifelong process. I challenge myself both personally and professionally to stay connected to my own growth, knowing that as I continue to learn, I can better support you. My role isn’t to “fix” you, but to help you tap into your inner wisdom and strength, so you can weather life’s storms and reconnect with the wholeness that’s already within you.Like many of my clients, I’ve had moments in my life when I felt lost, vulnerable, and unsure how to move forward. It was through my own journey—especially with Imago Therapy—that I realized lasting change starts within. Healing isn’t about changing everything around us; it’s about tending to what’s inside and learning how to grow, even in difficult seasons!
This work has shown me the beauty of conscious relationships, where we can stand strong as individuals while still growing together. It’s a delicate balance—one I’ve had to learn for myself—and it’s something I’m passionate about helping others find. If you’re ready to tend to your roots and begin your own journey toward healing and connection, I’d be honored to walk alongside you!
