Tracey Pearson-Heaney
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, LCPC
I am a calm, compassionate therapist. Over the past 12 years I have developed an understanding that being a therapist means much more than providing clients with the newest therapeutic approach. Therapy is the art of combining the intricate knowledge of a mental health diagnosis with the ability to guide clients toward a better understanding of themselves and their relationships. As a therapist my goal is to encourage clients to let go of what isn't working and adopt new skills that can improve the clients overall quality of life.

Alan Jacobson, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, Nationally Registered Health Service Provider
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families to create meaningful, measurable change in how they feel, function, and relate to others. My approach is evidence-based, empathic, and solution-focused, with therapy centered on helping you achieve clear goals so that progress is noticeable in daily life. I work with a wide range of concerns—including anxiety, low mood, loss, self-doubt, and life transitions—and have particular expertise in performance psychology, public speaking anxiety, panic attacks, fear of flying, and questions of purpose or meaning. If you’re unsure whether therapy is the right next step, I also offer a one-time consultation assessment to help clarify what may be contributing to your current stress and identify effective pathways forward, whether through therapy or other strategies.

Jean Moree
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LMHC, NCC, CCTS-I
I strive to create a therapy experience that feels both supportive and genuine. My style is warm, compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that meaningful change is easier when you feel safe enough to be honest about what you are experiencing. Therapy does not require you to have everything figured out before you begin. I will meet you where you are, without judgment, while helping you better understand yourself, work through what feels difficult, and move toward the changes that matter to you. I bring clinical experience to our work while also showing up as a real, approachable person who values your individual story, strengths, and needs.
Rather than relying on a single therapeutic model, I use an integrative approach and select interventions based on what is most appropriate for you and the concerns bringing you to counseling. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy forms part of the foundation of my work, while I may also incorporate Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Flash Technique, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Schema Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Written Exposure Therapy. This flexibility allows treatment to be individualized rather than forcing your experience into one particular approach.
I am deeply committed to ongoing professional development and stay abreast of the latest research and best practices in the field of counseling. My goal is to provide my clients with the highest standard of care, rooted in ethical principles.

Merritt Leonhardt
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSCSW, CDWF, MCLC
I am drawn to raw unfiltered courage. Going to therapy a brave choice and it takes tenacity and grit to feel differently and make changes in our lives. When we deny our stories, they define us. When we own our stories, we become the author who writes the brave new ending. Together we will examine the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that are holding you back identify the new choices and practices that will move you toward more authentic and wholehearted living. Rarely is that decision a whim or an impulse, and most likely you've been thinking about this for a while. Now here you are; being curious and maybe nervous and scared at the same time. In my opinion - that is bravery and brave things are rarely comfortable, but always worth trying.
Whether you are looking to make a shift in your relationships, provide help and guidance for your children, or you have reached a point in your own life where you no longer want to "figure it out alone"- you have come to a good place to get moving. It can get better.
We all struggle at times - with anxiety, depression, and stress - along with the circumstances in our lives that contribute to these feelings. The "feelings" themselves are never wrong. Where we get into trouble (and can feel stuck in them) is when we can't make sense of it all and isolation creeps in. You're not in this alone.
