Jenna Wonish-Mottin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, RPT
Life can feel overwhelming, whether you're a child struggling to express emotions, a teen navigating social pressures, or an adult facing anxiety, relationship challenges, or the unique experience of being a Highly Sensitive Person. I offer a compassionate and creative approach to therapy, providing a safe and supportive space where you or your child can feel heard, understood, and empowered.
For children and teens, I specialize in online play therapy, using play and creativity as a natural way for them to process emotions and develop coping skills. For adults, I tailor therapy to your needs, incorporating understanding, conversation, reflection, education, skill-building, thought-based techniques, body-based techniques, and creative expressive techniques such as art, music, and sand tray, to help you gain insight, build confidence, improve relationships, and find relief from stress and self-doubt.
My approach is client-centered, meaning therapy is guided by what works best for you or your child. Together, we’ll explore challenges, uncover strengths, and create practical steps toward a more balanced, fulfilling life.

Allison King
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, RPT
Relationships shape who we are, who we become, and how we experience the world—and when they feel strained or disconnected, every part of our lives is impacted. Helping people find their way back to one another is work I feel honored to do. As a therapist trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) and Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), I believe conflict and distance often mask unmet attachment needs and emotions longing to be understood. My role is to create a "brave space" where those deeper experiences can be explored and responded to in new ways. Clients often tell me I'm approachable and genuine. Therapy is vulnerable work, and I bring warmth, curiosity, compassion, and humor into our sessions. Whether you're a couple longing to reconnect or a family navigating conflict, I'm committed to helping you build stronger bonds and deeper connection. I would be honored to walk alongside you in that process.
