Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Many of the women I work with are capable, caring, and used to holding everything together, even when it comes at the cost of their own bandwidth. From the outside, life may look steady, but internally there can be tension, exhaustion, or a quiet sense of disconnection. I offer trauma informed, relational therapy for women who are ready to understand themselves more deeply and find a way of living that feels more sustainable. My work is grounded in attachment and nervous system awareness, and I approach therapy as a collaborative process rooted in genuine conversation rather than quick fixes. If you are looking for a space where you can show up honestly and feel met as a whole person, I invite you to connect for a consultation.

Dr. Benita Thornhill
Licensed Professional Counselor, PsyD, LPC, E-RYT500
Currently not accepting new clients. I am dedicated to providing compassionate psychotherapy to individuals and couples navigating life’s challenges. I create a warm and understanding environment where clients can feel supported while working to overcome obstacles that prevent them from reaching their goals and dreams.
I am trained in EMDR, DBT, Gottman Method Couples Therapy Levels 1 and Level 2, and a Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work Leader. I hold certifications in trauma and sex therapy. Additionally, I am an experienced 500hr Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT500).
I strive to ensure that my clients feel heard, understood, and empowered as they navigate their healing journey.
I firmly believe that you don't have to face life's challenges alone. Together, we can work to find the clarity and solutions needed to live a more satisfying and intentional life. If you're ready to take the first step towards positive change, I invite you to schedule your session today.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and believe relationships are at the heart of what makes us healthy and happy. I am honored to have worked in the field for over 25 years, helping people heal, grow, and have meaningful lives. My current work is exclusively with partners who are committed to strengthening and transforming their relationship. My approach is grounded in the Gottman Method, one of the most researched and effective approaches to couples therapy. In addition to certification in Gottman Method Therapy, I also bring specialized training as an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, helping couples navigate intimacy, communication, desire differences, and sexual concerns with compassion and expertise. Together, we work to build deeper connection, trust, and lasting change in your relationship.

Nathan Duff
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC (CCTP, CYMHS, C-DBT, C-PD)
So every therapist will say they want clients to feel genuinely understood, and I think they do, but I've watched a few whole anime series that I don't personally like just to get more insight on a teen client, and I've read books and research journals for adult clients with unusual circumstances. I only mention it to point out that I'm highly motivated to "get" someone's experience, whatever that may be. I’m committed to honoring each client’s right to self-determination, guiding them toward their own goals rather than imposing my personal views. Part of that is also letting clients in on my thought process "behind the scenes" as much as I can.

Dr. Lisa Wilke
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Have you been through something difficult that continues to cause distress? Do you feel anxious or panicked? Have you found it challenging to get through your day without thinking about what you endured? Trauma and toxic stress can leave a profound impact for years, when left unprocessed. Perhaps, you thought you could forget, but haven’t. Or maybe you were okay for a while, yet symptoms have resurfaced recently.
How might it feel to get your life back? Imagine what it would be like to feel at ease, confident, and in charge again. To worry less and live more. There is hope. I can help you get there. As a psychologist, I offer both in-person and telehealth services. Schedule an initial consultation through my website to get started.
