Erikka Cole
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D
Adolescence is one of the most intense and underestimated periods of life. Teens are navigating identity, relationships, academic pressure, social dynamics, and big emotions, often without the words or tools to make sense of any of it. We specialize in working with teenagers in a way that actually meets them where they are: no lectures, no talking down, just a real space to figure things out. We also support parents in understanding what their teen is going through and how to stay connected during the harder seasons.

Jenna Sackman - Online/Virtual Therapy
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LPC
*Free Consultation* With 6 years of experience working in schools, ranging from elementary to college, I intricately and intimately understand the unique challenges that accompany childhood and adolescence. I believe that the greatest gift we can give to our children is the gift of nonjudgmental understanding, and it can be extremely helpful to provide them with an objective third party support. I specialize in helping younger individuals successfully manage their growing pains and navigate through the complex and informative years of change and transition, so that they are able to build a strong and healthy foundation from which to flourish and thrive. I offer a 15 min free consultation, so please reach out to see if we're a good fit!

I work with children and adolescents suffering from a wide range of emotions frequently associated with, but not limited to, trauma. These emotions include depression, low self-esteem, self harm, and anxiety. Tools are also developed to learn anger management skills and non-oppositional behavior.
