Mary Jean Elder
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, Ed. S, LCMHC
I began my counseling career later in life after experiencing my own challenges. I've always had a drive to help and see the best in others. We so often believe the lies that run through our head that we are not good enough, we are broken, we are bad. Whether we heard that from someone or lack the belief in ourselves, it is there and is what frames how we see and experience the world. Learning to believe in ourselves, finding peace for ourselves and seeing the light in the world can help us move from that negative place into a happy existence.
I offer a judgement free space for you to share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences to find healing and peace in your life. Whether we meet in person or online we can explore how life is today and look back how your past has shaped who you are today and find new ways to see your future.

Molly Halbrooks
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT
Good therapy is a partnership between you and your therapist. I often work with those who have previously been in therapy and have felt stuck; my approach is active and helps you move beyond cognitive understanding to actually feeling better. You are a unique individual with unique life experiences and I meet you right where you are and work with you to determine how to move forward as your healthiest, most fulfilled self.

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

Or maybe, you’ve made changes in your life, but you still feel unsure, unsettled, unsteady and it’s causing emotional turmoil in your spirit, mind and body.

F. Monroe Spivey
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, BMP, LCMHC
In relationship we are wounded, and in relationship we are healed. It’s both my professional and personal experience (because even I, as a therapist, have my own therapist!) that the singular most powerful predictor of successful therapy is the safe and supportive relationship between client and therapist. A therapist can be the most skilled and talented practitioner in the world, with all of the credentials, training, and certificates — yet if the client doesn’t feel authentically seen, heard, cared for and supported by the therapist — no intervention is going to land. My passion lies in co-creating a safe and sacred space with my clients such that they are able to reveal their deepest vulnerabilities, take off the masks, and reclaim the power of who they truly and authentically are, before the trauma and the wounding of the world took hold.

Lynette Cisneros
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHC, LMHC
Therapy is not a one size fits all discipline. As an experienced therapist I recognize that adaptability is key. Your provider must be able to move within the space of the session with you as things present. This is where my experience & our rapport becomes invaluable. In my practice I strongly believe this space is for and about you. Our dynamic is intended as a tool to heal with compassion, intentionality and humor. When we can laugh we will.
