Chris Whitehead
Counselor/Therapist, CMHC
Starting on the path of counseling or therapy can be a bit intimidating. However, it doesn’t have to be. Working in a friendly and caring environment and with a kind, understanding, and caring counselor can make the process easier, more comfortable, and even fun. Sometimes we may feel as though we are malfunctioning or broken; but I don’t believe anyone is actually broken. They are just doing something, or behaving in a way, that they would like to change. The trick is to find a new way, an enjoyable way, a way that rejuvenates, reinvigorates, and brings zest to life.
Finding that new way may feel a little strange or difficult at first, but that’s part of the fun; trying on new patterns of thinking and behaving to see what fits and what we like best. Working in a safe and relaxed environment can help in this process, because it helps us to feel comfortable and assured.
When counseling and therapy are done purposefully and cooperatively; learning, developing, and incorporating the new strategies and patterns can be a pleasant and enjoyable journey. To learn more about this process please reach out or schedule an appointment on my website. I'm happy to help.

Cameron Staley
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work to create an accepting, compassionate, and open environment. I'm skilled at addressing sensitive areas including neurodiversity, religious concerns, sexual & gender identities, unwanted sexual behaviors, & complex family relationships. I really enjoy getting to know individuals and working together to navigate challenges and find a path forward that works for you. I also offer a neurodiversity-affirming approach to adult autism and ADHD assessment.

Anna DiNoto
Psychologist, PsyD, LMHC, PSYPACT - Licensed Psychologist
While many view mental health assessment and treatment as a way to identify a diagnosis someone else (i.e., a psychologist) assigns, we view it as an engaging and empowering process. A diagnosis may be met, and if this is true our hope is you will have words to understand who you are, how your brain (and body) sees and interacts with the world, and what you could potentially do about it based on honoring your input.

I do my best to listen in the service of understanding and provide thoughtful responsiveness, which I have found helps my clients connect to their inner life and with others. Using gentle honesty and compassion, I value autonomy and collaboration to help people feel less alone while finding a sense of purpose within their lives and in the world.
