Jordan Johnson, Creating Connection PLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC(WI), LPC(VA), LPCC(MN)
Individuals and couples that work with me find that they are able to better understand complicated dynamics that occur in their relationships, including insecure attachment, negative core beliefs, and effects of past traumas on current relationships. I also help individuals process through fears, depression, and other mental health concerns from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach.

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.

Courtney Crooks
Psychologist, PhD, CTMH, CCTP, NATC
I am a licensed psychologist in private practice, with over 20 years of professional experience in psychological research and clinical practice. I specialize in psychodynamic/psychoanalytic psychotherapy for individual adults ages 18+. I can help you understand the underlying basis of your conflicts, then guide you on your journey toward meaningful, positive change according to your needs and goals. I will work with you to develop a customized psychotherapy plan depending on your specific needs and goals, which may include session packages that are intentionally short-term (12-16 sessions) or long-term (1-2 sessions per week spanning some months). I am a military veteran, and have received specialized training related to military and veteran's issues, so I also welcome persons from the military and veteran communities as prospective patients. I am a Certified Clinical Telemental Health Provider (CTMH), Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), and Certified Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician (NATC), and hold an Authorization to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT) from the PSYPACT Commission.
