Awaken Wellness Center, Inc.
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
At Awaken Wellness Center, we meet you exactly where you are — no judgment, no pressure to have it all figured out. Using Brainspotting and Internal Family Systems (IFS), we help you access and heal trauma at its root, working with every part of you, not just the parts that feel "presentable." Healing isn't about erasing what happened — it's about no longer being held hostage by it. We'd be honored to walk this path with you.

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.

Camille Larsen
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LAC
If you are ready to get to, and resolve core, underlying issues, I may be a great fit. I bring a wealth of internal resources to help you. I engage in the therapy process and actively guide you in sessions to help advance every opportunity for change that we encounter. Together, we'll keep your goals close as we work to shift the internal blocks that keep you from what you want most.
In addition to being a Licensed Professional Counselor, I am also a Licensed Addiction Counselor, having treated addiction for over a decade in residential, group, and private, individual settings. My work is discrete and non-shaming. If you need completing DUI therapy requirements, contact me about the program I use that satisfies most state's requirements.
