Natasha Lacey
Counselor/Therapist, LPCC-S
You may be functioning on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or stuck in patterns you cannot seem to change. I provide a warm, trauma-informed space where children, adolescents, and adults can better understand themselves, process difficult experiences, and build meaningful, lasting change. My approach is compassionate and individualized, integrating EMDR, CBT, DBT, Person-Centered Therapy, and parts-based work based on your needs and goals.

Sara Pavel
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you’re used to handling things on your own. My goal is to create a space where you can be honest about what’s going on without feeling like you have to have everything figured out first. I believe therapy should be practical, collaborative, and connected to your real life—not just a place to talk about problems.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your own thoughts, struggling with confidence, or navigating a major transition, we’ll work together to understand what’s getting in the way and find ways forward. I’ll meet you where you are while also challenging you when it can help you grow. You don’t have to wait until things feel unbearable to reach out. If something in your life isn’t working the way you want it to, therapy can be a place to start making a change.

Danielle Farabaugh
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by daily stress, anxious thoughts, or reminders of your traumatic memories? Struggling with anger or relationship conflict? Feeling stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts and unhealthy behaviors? Life's struggles can feel isolating but you don't have to face them alone. It would be a privilege and an honor to accompany you on your mental health journey.
I'm a licensed psychologist with over 18 years in the field. I have expertise in the treatment of PTSD, trauma, and stress and in the understanding of veteran and military culture. Other areas of specialty include anxiety, phobias, panic, depression, insomnia, and addiction. I work with teens and adults, as well as the spouses, partners and family members of those struggling. I also have extensive experience supporting veterans, first responders, and medical and mental health providers.
Whether you've been in therapy before or are ready to take the very first step towards healing and growth, I would love to hear from you.

Kimberlee Zetocha Halverson
Psychologist, Ph.D, LP
I help people create more balance in their lives by learning when to pause, be present, and step out of the constant pressure of “what’s next.” Many individuals find themselves shaped by old patterns or past experiences that make it hard to move forward. My approach focuses on helping you ride the waves of life with greater resilience—navigating the unpredictable storms rather than feeling anchored in them. While we can’t prepare for every unexpected moment, we can build the tools and skills to manage whatever comes our way. Tides shift, storms pass, and calmer waters are possible.
I don’t believe in a one‑size‑fits‑all approach. I tailor treatment to your preferences, goals, schedule, and life circumstances. I also offer structured, evidence‑based therapies when a more guided path is helpful. With over 15 years of experience supporting individuals with a wide range of concerns, I bring both flexibility and clinical depth to the work we do together.
For more information, please visit my website. You’ll find a secure, private patient portal with built‑in video sessions, scheduling, communication, and payment options—all in one encrypted, easy‑to‑use platform, including a mobile app for added convenience.
