Somatic Therapy
Elizabeth Starnes
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, ATR-BC®, REAT
Reaching out for support often means something in your life feels too heavy to carry alone. You don’t have to navigate it by yourself. I offer a space that moves at your pace—without pressure or expectations—where you can begin to make sense of what you’re carrying.
I work with individuals navigating trauma and PTSD, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. Together, we gently explore patterns shaped by past experiences and how they continue to show up in your thoughts, relationships, and sense of self. This work isn’t about forcing change—it’s about creating space for clarity, self-understanding, and a deeper sense of trust in yourself.
My approach integrates talk therapy with expressive arts therapy, grounded in specialized training in art therapy and intermodal expressive work. This means we actively use modalities such as visual journaling, storytelling, movement, and other forms of creative expression as part of the therapeutic process—not just talking about your experiences, but engaging with them in ways that support deeper understanding and change.
Clients often describe me as steady, down-to-earth, and genuine. I value creating a space where you feel safe, seen, and able to show up as you are.

Jamie Heavey
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, ATR
As an exclusive licensed professional counselor and registered art therapist, I provide a unique and personalized approach to mental health that combines the power of talk therapy with the restorative benefits of nature walks. Welcome to my counseling and art therapy practice, where emotional healing meets the great outdoors.
My passion for helping individuals overcome emotional challenges comes from my own personal experiences. Through my own journey of healing and self-discovery, I discovered the transformative power of nature and its ability to promote relaxation and healing. This inspired me to integrate nature walks into my counseling and art therapy practice.
At my practice, I work with individuals who are experiencing a wide range of emotional challenges, from anxiety and depression to relationship issues and trauma. By combining traditional talk therapy with the restorative power of nature walks, I help clients to reduce stress, gain self-awareness, and develop new coping skills.
As an LPC and art therapist, I provide a supportive and confidential space for clients to express their thoughts and emotions. Through the use of various art materials and techniques, clients can explore and express themselves in a creative and non-verbal way. Nature walks are also incorporated into therapy sessions, allowing clients to connect with nature and experience its restorative benefits.
I offer individual and group sessions, tailored to each client's unique needs and goals. Whether you're new to therapy or have prior experience, I provide a welcoming and non-judgmental space for everyone. Together, we can embark on a journey of self-discovery and emotional healing, while surrounded by the beauty and healing power of nature.
If you're ready to take the first step towards a brighter future, I invite you to contact me today to schedule a consultation. Let's work together to help you achieve emotional healing and personal growth, while experiencing the restorative power of nature.

Aubrey Richardson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I work with high achieving women, caregivers, and helping professionals who are used to being the one who holds everything together. They anticipate needs, take responsibility for other people’s emotions, and say yes when they mean no. They push through when they are depleted and keep going long after their capacity is gone.
For a long time, this worked. It earned success, stability, and connection. Until it didn’t.
Most clients come to me when burnout has turned into resentment. When relationships feel one sided. When the emotional load becomes impossible to ignore.
This is not an individual failure. These patterns are often shaped by early roles, expectations, and environments that rewarded overfunctioning and self sacrifice.
In our work together, we focus on identifying these patterns, understanding what is actually yours to carry, and building the capacity to do less without collapsing into guilt or anxiety.
This is not about becoming a different person.
It is about creating a life that feels sustainable, reciprocal, and aligned.
If you are waiting until things calm down or get worse before reaching out, that waiting is part of the pattern.
You do not have to keep doing this.

Shawna Damiani
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Hi, I'm Shawna. I'm really glad you're here — and I know that finding the right therapist can feel like a lot. My hope is that by the time you finish reading this, you'll have a sense of who I am and whether we might be a good fit.
I work with adults who are carrying things that feel heavy — whether that's the weight of past trauma, the complexity of relationships that keep hitting the same walls, or the experience of moving through a world that wasn't quite designed for the way your brain works. I specialize in trauma and PTSD, relationship challenges, and supporting adults with ADHD and autism who are often figuring out a lot about themselves for the first time.
A lot of my clients come to me feeling like something is wrong with them. My job — and honestly, my passion — is helping people see that they've been responding to hard things in the most human ways possible. Healing isn't about fixing yourself. It's about understanding yourself.
My approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. I'm not going to sit silently and nod — I show up as a real person in the room with you. Therapy with me tends to feel like an honest, sometimes even humorous conversation, grounded in real tools and genuine care.
If any of this resonates, I'd love to hear from you. Reaching out is the hardest part — and you've already started.

Zach Ramsey
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC-S, CSAT
You may feel like your life has been turned upside down by addiction, broken trust, sexual behavior, or painful relationship experiences, and many people carry trauma connected to betrayal, emotional wounds, or sexual experiences that continue to shape how they feel and relate to others. You might be living with shame, fear of losing what matters most, unstable relationships, or the constant pressure of trying to hold everything together. Therapy can be a place to slow down, understand what is beneath these struggles, and begin healing not only behaviors, but the trauma and patterns driving them. Recovery and healing are about rebuilding safety, self respect, and connection with yourself and the people you care about. I also provide affirming care for gay and lesbian clients and offer a space where you do not have to hide or explain who you are. If you are ready to begin addressing what has been weighing on you and start creating lasting change in your life and relationships, I invite you to reach out today to schedule a consultation.

Alanna Preylo
Therapist, LMSW
You may feel worn down in a way that is hard to explain. Not just stressed, but deeply exhausted from carrying Pain, Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, or feeling misunderstood for far too long. Maybe you are questioning your worth, your relationships, or whether things will ever feel real again. When the weight becomes too much to hold by yourself, therapy can be a place where you finally feel seen, supported, and understood. You do not have to explain your pain or face it alone. Healing is possible, and together we can begin making space for relief, connection, and hope. Contact me today to learn more about how I can help.
