Chris Scarberry
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I co-own Healing Reflections Therapy: Diversity, Trauma, and Wellness Services with my partner Megan Garza. We each have over twenty-five years of experience working as therapists. We integrate those values into everything we do. I love the work that I do and especially enjoy helping to empower clients and help them to make their therapy goals and dreams a reality. I have a genuine and transparent approach with clients. I balance active listening with interpretations and feedback, while treating therapy as a fluid, nuanced conversation. I meet people where they are at and am informed, open and affirming of LGBTQ+ identities, chronic illness, kink and non-monogamous relationship dynamics. I welcome clients from all walks of life and marginalized communities. I enjoy meeting with people from a variety of spiritual backgrounds, atheists, Christians, Muslims, Jewish people etc, but do not reference mine or impose any spiritual agenda with my clients. In short, we only talk about it if it's important to you. My Masters Degree is in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy which enables me to skillfully work with individuals, couples, and adult family members. I view treatment as both of us collaboratively working toward your goals, utilizing your own insights and strengths as a basis for further development.

Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in genuine connection—with a touch of humor along the way. I support clients through life’s challenges, including anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, relational struggles, and major transitions. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that support your well-being and those that may be holding you back, always with a focus on your unique values, needs, and goals. Drawing from evidence-based therapies, I tailor our work to help you feel empowered, deepen self-understanding, and move toward meaningful change. Taking this step toward healing is courageous, and I’m here to walk alongside you as you create the life you want.

Owelleth Mental Health
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MedFT
I am deeply passionate about being a therapist it is much more than a career to me and shows in the work I do, as well as the ongoing learning and trainings I am continually seeking. I believe healing happens when people feel truly seen, safe, and understood—often for the first time. I am especially drawn to working with trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, depression, grief, and the relational challenges that shape this. Many of my clients identify as "neurodivergent (ADHD, autism, AuDHD) and struggle with things like low self-esteem, perfectionism, and expressing needs/wants. Often this can affect how and who we love, function, and navigate major life transitions like divorce, parenting, career, grief, and medical care-taking. I don’t view therapy as “fixing” people, but as walking alongside them as they reconnect with their strengths, rewrite painful patterns, and build relationships rooted in security and self-trust. This work matters to me because I have seen how powerful it is when someone realizes their story makes sense—and that change is possible. My focus is on building a safe and trusting relationship where I get to know you as an individual without judgement. I have worked in hospitals, schools, community/public health, but nothing has brought me as much joy and fulfillment as private practice.
