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. I offer a space that moves at your pace—no pressure, no forced timelines. You choose the direction of our work, and I walk beside you with curiosity, compassion, and care.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I’m here to help you understand patterns shaped by past experiences—especially the ones that still echo today in how you see yourself, relate to others, or feel in your own body. We gently explore those stories and beliefs, not to force change, but to make space for healing, clarity, and self-trust.
Clients often describe me as down-to-earth, steady, and real. I specialize in trauma and PTSD, anxiety, grief, life transitions, and the self-doubt that often comes with surviving hard things. It’s my greatest privilege to witness clients rediscover their voice, their boundaries, and their strength.

James Parker
Psychologist, PhD
I view therapy as a collaborative interaction in service of understanding the best forms of quality human relating. My approach to therapy is primarily guided by Coherence Therapy. Coherence Therapy is an approach to treatment that is different from many others in that - instead of focusing on what is "negative" or "wrong" and trying to change or alter it - the purpose is to genuinely understand a person's symptoms; to curiously explore why maintaining certain patterns of thinking and behavior is emotionally necessary, even when a person is feeling stuck because of those patterns. Understanding the symptom leads to identifying the underlying emotional reasons of why we do things and addresses the cause of feeling stuck, not just the symptom, which leads to meaningful and lasting changes.

I understand that the first step is often the most difficult. Whether you are dealing with feelings of hopelessness, depression, anxiety, a past tragedy, or abuse, know that hope and healing are within reach. You don't have to walk this journey alone. I counsel adults and adolescents who are experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, life transitions, grief, and loss.

Melissa Gaa
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC-Supervisor
Making the decision to attend counseling can be a difficult one. Many times emotions are hard to control or even understand, while others in your life may not comprehend what you are struggling with. I understand the difficulties of expectations placed upon each of us to hide or suppress emotions. Together, we will work towards growth and positive changes in your life. Whether you are experiencing a temporary setback, or an ongoing problem, I can assist you. My goal is to help you through your challenges that may be creating barriers for you to move forward.
