Kelli Hall
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I’m a multi-state licensed clinical social worker who is deeply passionate about helping people build healthier, more authentic relationships—starting with the relationship they have with themselves.
In my work, I often support individuals who have spent much of their lives over-accommodating, over-functioning, or feeling responsible for others. Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to prioritize their own needs without guilt. They may feel chronically anxious, depressed, or worried.
My style is warm, direct, and grounded. I’m not a “just sit and nod” therapist—I’m actively engaged in helping you understand patterns, shift perspective, and develop practical tools you can use in real life.
I believe you don’t HAVE TO do anything - but you do GET to choose. And learning how to make those choices with clarity and confidence can be incredibly freeing.

STW Counseling PLLC
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor
As someone in long term recovery, I try hard not to tell clients what to do. I believe clients have the answers to their issues and it's my job to help each client get to the answers they are seeking. I do not have a "one size fits all' philosophy and will use whatever therapy seems appropriate based upon the client's needs. I am very person centered which mean that if the client wishes to discuss the weather for an hour we will talk about the weather! I want to work on what the client wants to work on not what I want the client to work on.

Montgomery Counseling Group
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LCSWA, LCMHC, LCMHCA
I believe therapy works best when it is both grounded and genuinely human. My approach is collaborative, practical, and trauma-informed, with a focus on helping clients understand what is happening beneath the surface rather than simply managing symptoms.
I work with people who feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, trauma, stress, relationship conflict, or emotional overwhelm. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning people who are used to pushing through but know something deeper needs attention.
My clinical work draws from evidence-based and experiential approaches, including EMDR, Internal Family Systems-informed therapy, clinical hypnosis, and other trauma-focused methods. I am especially interested in how the nervous system, memory, emotion, and identity all interact in the healing process.
I aim to create a therapy space that is direct but compassionate, supportive but not passive. Together, we will work toward helping you make sense of your experience, reduce distress, and build a more flexible, connected way of living

Dr. Alisha Desai
Psychologist, PhD
I am a firm believer that we are all capable of change. At the same time, I understand how difficult and scary change can be - even if it's what we want most. My goal is to help others build the confidence to see themselves fully and move through life based on their own inner compass.
My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I aim to create a space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing, without judgment, while developing concrete tools to navigate challenges, build resilience, and live a life that feels more meaningful and aligned with your values.

Gregor Nathanael Schwarz
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Seeking a therapist who truly understands the complexity of your experience is a significant first step. I am Dr. G. Nathanael Schwarz, a licensed Clinical Psychologist dedicated to providing high-quality, evidence-based care for children (ages 5+) and adults. My practice is built on a foundation of collaboration and a non-pathologizing, holistic view of your mental health.
What sets my practice apart is an elevated standard of care that extends well beyond the therapy room. I draw on extensive experience across diverse treatment settings—from intensive residential care to outpatient support—to offer a customized, modular approach. Whether we are utilizing CBT, DBT, or trauma-informed interventions, I integrate biological, psychological, and social factors to help you navigate your challenges effectively.
Beyond individual therapy, I act as an active partner in your journey. My practice includes:
Integrated Support: I collaborate directly with schools and other healthcare providers to ensure your care is cohesive.
Practical Tools: From parent coaching and school consultation (including IEP/504 advocacy) to phone coaching for between-session support, I provide the practical tools necessary for real-world application.
Measurement-Informed Progress: I utilize data-driven screening and evaluation to ensure we are consistently tracking your progress and adjusting strategies to achieve the best possible outcomes.
If you are looking for a dedicated clinician who prioritizes evidence-based methods and comprehensive, coordinated support, I invite you to reach out.
