Jennifer Kavanagh Mental Health Counselor, PLLC

I strive to reflect to my clients their worth, value, respect, and dignity. I laugh with my clients when appropriate; life is hard enough and one of the greatest things I can do for my client is be human and witness their pain.

Shauna Rychcik
Therapist, LMSW
As a therapist I deeply respect each client’s unique strengths and perspectives. Using a collaborative approach, I walk alongside clients as they heal from painful experiences, empowering them to write the next chapter of their life. Even in life’s most challenging moments, every individual has the capacity to heal and grow. I strive to create a space for this healing that is comfortable and safe where you feel free to express yourself fully and authentically.
Rooted in an LGBTQIA+ affirming and anti-racist framework, my approach blends evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy with a holistic understanding of each person's circumstances. Sessions are tailored to meet individual needs while celebrating and building on your strengths. My goal is for you to feel seen, heard, and supported as you work toward creating a life filled with meaning and fulfillment.
With warmth, empathy, and a sprinkle of humor (because let's face it, laughter is the best medicine after all), I aim to connect authentically with clients and trust in their power to reclaim their stories. Together, we can regain control over the narrative and begin a new chapter—a chapter of healing, growth, and empowerment.

Matt McDavid
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Life often asks us to carry more than we should—self-doubt, overwhelming emotions, and the weight of expectations that feel impossible to meet. Maybe you’ve been told who you should be for so long that the person you are feels hidden. Therapy offers a space to let go of what no longer serves you and step into the life you’ve always deserved!
I’m Matt McDavid, and I specialize in helping insightful, creative individuals who are ready to transform their inner world. Whether you’re feeling stuck, navigating life’s challenges, or seeking clarity, I provide a safe and supportive space to explore your story, reconnect with your authentic self, and build a life that feels meaningful and aligned with who you are.
My approach is anything but one-size-fits-all. I believe therapy should feel as unique as you are—creative, collaborative, and rooted in trust. Together, we’ll peel back the layers of self-doubt and conditioned beliefs that have obscured your light. You’ll discover the strength, resilience, and self-compassion that have been within you all along.
Using trauma-informed care and a strength-based perspective, I’ll guide you to release the stories that no longer define you and embrace the truth that you’ve always been enough. Through proven techniques like Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Therapy, we’ll uncover tools to navigate life’s challenges with confidence, clarity, and emotional resilience.
Therapy with me isn’t just about symptom relief—it’s about transformation. My clients often share that our work has redefined their expectations of therapy, helping them feel truly seen and empowered in ways they never thought possible. They describe rediscovering their inner strength, letting go of what isn’t authentic, and stepping into lives filled with purpose, connection, and joy.
I know taking this step can feel intimidating. But by being here, you’ve already shown incredible courage. You don’t have to do this alone. Let’s take the next step together—toward healing, toward clarity, and toward the life you were always meant to live.
Your story isn’t finished. Let’s write the next chapter together.
