Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Unchained Brain LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
Unchained Brain is built on the belief that therapy should help you make sense of your experiences, not just cope with them. I work with adults who want a thoughtful and supportive approach to therapy, especially when stress, anxiety, cognitive concerns, or health changes begin to affect daily life. Clients often tell me they feel heard, understood, and relieved to finally connect the dots between their thoughts, emotions, and brain functioning. If you’re looking for a therapist who combines compassion with clarity, and helps you move forward with confidence, I’d love to connect. Clients often seek me out when they want clarity, structure, and a deeper understanding of how the brain, emotions, and daily functioning are connected, including support with thinking skills, organization, and cognitive changes.

Dr. Michael M. Grant
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist PhD, MBA
I have been working with people for over 25 years and love to see people take flight and fly again in their lives. I never judge you or what you have done or who you tell me you are. Rather, I help you discern what you WANT to be and what you want to do and work to help you be and do that. My job is to help you become the very best you you can be. I encourage, support, comfort, challenge, and do all of these with humor and warmth. I simply don't think there is any other way for me to work.

Dr Todd Giardina
Psychologist, PhD, Counseling Psychology
Have you felt "stuck" and unable to make that change you so desire? Do you hear from people that you're "not living up to your potential" or "you're so great," but you just don't feel it? Are your relationships plagued by anxiety or distress? These are the things I am expert in managing. I focus largely on work with women, being that I can "speak" the male and female language and navigate relationship issues. I also take a feminist, empowerment focus in our work - we build on your specific strengths, and take into account your objective limitations. Everyone can find happiness, let's find yours, together!

Imagine Recovery Counseling LLC (Kristen Gidel Kelly)
Counselor/Therapist, LPCC-S, LICDC, CTTS, Certified EMDR Therapist and Consultant
Kristen Gidel Kelly: FOUNDER, Imagine Recovery Counseling
The first thing you need to know about me is that I am not your Traditional Therapist (I’m an EMDR and DBT nerd and super passionate about what I do!) and everyone that works for me is an extension of me and my values. I value both the science and the art, creative, and personalized experience of therapy. I value both ethical practice and the need to adapt the science that I have to fit the needs of the human being sitting in front of me.
My values regarding client care:
Trauma is something that happens to you, it’s not part of your identity. I work with trauma because I believe people can change and heal from their experiences. I seek to empower people to heal and grow and I truly believe you can. I have lived experience in most of the conditions that I treat or I have worked with them for a long time and have extensive training. You will not intimate me with your experience. I often tell my clients, “If I don’t know something, I will find out”. Many of the clients that come see me have had a prior therapy experience that did not go well. While I always remain humble in what I do and let folks know “You are in the driver’s seat”, I want to make it clear that I have 18 years of experience in what I do and I’m always learning and consulting with experts to be the best version of myself for my clients and my staff. I go to my own therapy and work on my own stuff. Lastly, it is part of my professional and personal ethics to respond to all client referrals within 24 hours. I feel strongly that if you reach out, I will respond. I keep our wait list intentionally low because I do not feel it’s ethical for folks to wait a long time to get help.
My values regarding my group practice:
I worked in community mental health and government for 17 years. Many times, I was working in a toxic, oppressive workplace and was extremely burned out. It is highly important to me to provide a healing and safe environment for my staff. I pride myself on hiring folks that are deeply aligned with my values, highly skilled and trained (it’s not always about years of experience!), and have the self respect to expect to be taken care of by their boss. I believe it’s important to always be learning. I teach my staff everything I know and provide them with free consultation and training. It is the privilege and a responsibility of a boss to take care of their people. If you work with my therapists, please know that I am taking care of them so they can skillfully take care of you! A lot of folks that come to work with me have been burned out by their previous employer and want something more. I value providing a safe, comfortable, trauma sensitive, diversity/inclusive, therapist centered working environment. Burnout will be assessed and taken seriously and consultation support is provided. It’s so important to me, I write this language into my contracts.
