Valiant Minds Counseling, P.C.
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, ADHD-CCSP
I believe that every person, no matter their circumstances or struggles, has a valiant mind. Therefore, I believe that each of my clients are the experts of their own life and that my job is to meet each client wherever they currently are on their journey and to walk alongside them in order to help facilitate growth and change. In 2004, I graduated from Chatham University with a Masters in Counseling Psychology and have since gained extensive experience in the treatment of adult and childhood psychological and neurobehavioral disorders. My sessions predominantly use cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, where I help my clients to understand how their thoughts affect their feelings and behaviors. I also use other psychotherapy techniques that provide comprehensive perspectives to my clients and enhance mind, body such as positive psychology, existentialist philosophy, and mindfulness meditation. My goal is to help my clients broaden their awareness, challenge problematic patterns, learn healthy coping skills, live mindfully and confidently, and seek their unique version of joy. Above all, I am committed to creating therapeutic relationships that are built on trust, respect, transparency, empathy, honesty, and equality, and I always counsel from a nonjudgmental place of understanding and compassion.

Knopp Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I believe meaningful change begins by meeting you exactly where you are. My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique experiences, strengths, and goals. By integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Existential therapy, and Solution-focused therapies, I help clients navigate life's challenges with greater clarity, resilience, and purpose.
Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, or simply seeking personal growth, I provide a supportive space where you can explore the patterns that influence your life, gain new perspectives, and develop practical strategies for meaningful, lasting change.
I understand that choosing a therapist is a deeply personal decision. My commitment is to create an environment where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported while working toward the goals that matter most to you. Together, we'll build on your strengths, clarify your values, and create a path forward that reflects the life you want to live. If you're ready to take the next step—or simply curious about whether we're a good fit—I invite you to reach out. I look forward to helping you build the insight, confidence, and resilience to create meaningful, lasting change.

Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies

I provide my clients a "toolbox" of skills they can use both now and in the future. I was fortunate to have trained directly with Dr. Albert Ellis, the developer of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy and Dr. Francine Shapiro, originator of EMDR plus numerous and hypnosis trainings with many of the top hypnotherapists in the field.

Sarah Gersick
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When new stressors arise, they can activate old patterns that make it hard to cope in a healthy way. It helps to have a place to talk through what is happening in your life today while also working to understand how the past is informing the present. I am an experienced psychodynamic psychologist who can help you do both, so you can reduce distress you are feeling now, and make deep changes that lead to better coping in the future.
