Michael Pollet
Registered Social Worker, CSWA
When was the last time you felt truly free to say what you were thinking and feeling? So much of life involves filtering ourselves for people around us. That can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves and caught in cycles of anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship struggles. Therapy can be a safe place where you can simply show up as you are, speak honestly, and begin to understand what’s been holding you back. Using my practice's collaborative LifeMaps framework, we’ll explore how your experiences and relationships have shaped the way you navigate the world today.

Dr. Dawnn R. Meiers
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Currently accepting clients! My approach is grounded in 25+yrs of experience as a psychotherapist and community educator. I’m passionate about helping people grow through the tough stuff – and also thrive during messy or dark life seasons, with interventions drawn from the research-supported "third wave" of cognitive-behavioral therapy, which includes mindfulness and acceptance approaches, in addition to existential therapy, positive psychology, and nature prescriptions. Expect invitations for behavioral "experiments," culturally-relevant self-help resources, and client-centered compassionate care. Schedule a free 15 minute consultation to discuss your needs today.

Ever Mei Therapy Collective
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
We believe therapy should be a place where you can show up exactly as you are, without feeling like you need to have it all together or know where to start. At Ever Mei Therapy Collective, we look beyond the symptoms to understand the experiences, relationships, and patterns that have shaped how you feel today. Our therapists bring specialized training in trauma, EMDR, and Brainspotting, along with a compassionate, down-to-earth approach that meets you where you are. We know that reaching out for support can feel intimidating, especially if you're used to handling everything on your own. You don't need to have the right words, a clear goal, or even know exactly what's wrong. We'll work together to make sense of what you're experiencing and help you move toward a life that feels more like your own. You deserve a space where you don't have to hold it all together.

Meghan Hanes
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Specializing in trauma, EMDR therapy, anxiety, and substance use, I help high-functioning women who feel successful on the outside but overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck on the inside. You don't have to keep pushing through on your own. Together, we'll explore the deeper "why" behind what you're experiencing and identify the patterns keeping you in survival mode. Using evidence-based approaches in a supportive, nonjudgmental space, I help clients move beyond insight alone and create meaningful, lasting change. If you're ready to feel more grounded, connected, and in control of your life, I'd be honored to support you.

Wendy Jensen LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Hypnotherapist, Diplomate Comprehensive Energy Psychology
My initiation into healing arts probably began as a child when I was blessed with experiencing a variety of paranormal events that helped me to learn and trust clairaudient and clairvoyant communication with spirit.
My formal initiation began in 1996 in Portland, Oregon when I began studying Shamanic Healing though the Foundation For Shamanic Studies. I have trained with Sandra Ingerman in Soul Retrieval techniques and with several shamanic practitioners incorporating the healing energies of nature, doing divination work and teaching others to learn to do shamanic journey work.
In 1998, I began training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). It was here, that I really began to understand how the body stores traumatic material subconsciously, that the physical body can manifest that stored material in physical and emotional disease and that the body can release that stored memory and it’s subsequent effects given the opportunity and assistance with proper techniques.
In 1999, Wendy began training in Dynamic Energetic Healing™, a powerful protocol that encompasses a variety of healing modalities drawn from the Energy Psychology field. Energetic Healing focuses on helping clients to identify negative emotions, limiting beliefs and old traumas held in the energetic pathways of the body, explore the origins or root causes of these disturbances that may have occurred in current or past life or carried through on an ancestral linage and then release them.
Since then I have studied and certified in a variety of Energy Pyschology techniques such as Emotional Freedom Technique, Tapas Accupressure Technique, Healing from the Body Level Up, and many more. I am a Diplomate in Comprehensive Energy Psychology since 2004.
In 2006 Wendy completed a 2 year intensive training with the Wellness Institute in Heart Centered Hypnotherapy. And in 2019, she completed the Essentials training in RIM (Regenerating Images in Memory) These trainings utilize the clients wise intuitive self along with guided prompts from the therapist to bring into consciousness, then clear and heal the past trauma memories still carried in the mind and body.
I hold a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology, a Master of Science degree in Social Work, Certifications in Hypnotherapy and Energy Psychology and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been in private practice since 1995.

Kel Lash
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC, CLC
I love working with people who desire to live from their hearts. I'm passionate about self- forgiveness (letting go of meaning) and correcting the myths of forgiveness that we have been taught. People who desire to see the unconditional love in themselves and others and let go of meaning they make in their minds that blocks them from being their happiest, most peaceful, authentic selves. If you have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges that seem to hold you back in life, and want a way to let these thoughts go and live in the present moment, I'm likely a great fit for you. Clients describe me as calm, compassionate, intuitive and out of the box.
