Ashley Ray
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-S, CCTP, TIYT
Stressed? Irritable? anxious? overwhelmed? angry? I get it. Whether its quarantine, traumatic experiences, or just LIFE that's left you feeling like you are unraveling, I got you.
Achieving inner peace and freedom from the pain and discomfort that you feel is possible. I offer you evidence-based holistic psychotherapy techniques that help you heal, restore and renew. My office is a safe place for you to tell your story and receive heartfelt listening, acceptance and compassion? However, it is also a place where I can teach you techniques to re-balance when you feel emotionally flooded and disconnected. Healing doesn't even have to begin with tirelessly and painfully pouring over the past if that's not what you want. My guess is that you have already been doing that with limited results. Healing can begin with learning how to rewire your automated stress response so that you can start feeling better and more at ease right away!
It is my passion and purpose to help you to discover the parts of yourself that you really love and transform the parts that keep you stuck. I believe in your inherent ability to heal and am dedicated to supporting your in connection more deeply with that ability. Some of the methods I integrate into sessions are Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Integral Psychotherapy, yoga, dance and other somatic processing techniques, mindfulness training, meditation, visualization, breath work, shamanic practices, Energy Medicine, Exposure Therapy, gestalt methods, Narrative Therapy, and EFT.
I can help you heal from traumas and anxiety through a holistic somatic therapy approach that returns you to inner peace and confidence.

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.

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.

Sarah Sustaita
Pre-Licensed Professional, MS, LPC Associate, LPCC
You understand what’s going on, but your body didn’t get the memo.
You may feel stuck in patterns of pain, shutdown, or overwhelm that don’t match what you know.
I work with individuals (ages 16+) navigating chronic pain, trauma, dissociation, and long-standing stress. Many of the people I work with have already done a lot of thinking about themselves or tried therapy before, but still feel caught in how their body continues to respond.
I help bridge the gap between insight and embodied change. Together, we focus on understanding how these patterns live in both the mind and body, using approaches that support nervous system regulation, processing of unresolved experiences, and increased connection to your internal signals. Through this work, clients often begin to experience shifts not just in how they think, but in how they feel and respond on a day-to-day level.

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.

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.

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.
