Mary W. Prentiss
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Do you feel like life’s challenges are overwhelming or you’re constantly stuck in the same struggles? Whether you’re a child, teen, college student, or parent, navigating life’s ups and downs can feel exhausting. You might feel stuck—like no one is really listening, and nothing seems to help. But here’s the truth: You won’t be stuck forever, and I’m here to help guide you through it. Parenting can feel like an ongoing battle. Between behavioral challenges, the uncertainty of handling your child’s defiance, or academic struggles, it’s easy to feel lost.
Imagine this instead: You wake up feeling more in control. Your relationships are improving, and you’re finding ways to handle challenges with confidence and calm. You’re rediscovering joy and balance in your life, and things that once felt overwhelming now feel manageable. Together we can make that vision a reality.

Tiffany Taylor

I love working with people who want someone direct, are motivated to work both in and out of sessions, and have been trying their best to do it all themselves but can't anymore. I enjoy supporting people who have attempted to leave a touch childhood behind but is finding that all of that old pain is affecting their relationships, work, the way they feel about themselves, or are suddenly afraid and anxious when they used to feel like they could take on anything.
