Heather Clifft
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Trauma, anxiety, and life's stressors and transitions can leave you feeling like you are drowning. Counseling is a life raft in a sea of emotion. I partner with individuals in navigating transitions and stressors throughout the lifespan. Each person and experience has unique needs. I adjust my counseling approach to best meet your needs to support your success and growth. Together we will develop a plan to manage your current challenges and symptoms and to move you into a place of healing and peace.

Althea Dent
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
My approach to therapy is grounded in collaboration, respect, and practical growth. Therapy with me is a shared process focused on helping you move from feeling stuck toward greater clarity and confidence. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused methods, and a Socratic, meta-questioning style to help clients examine patterns, strengthen self-awareness, and develop effective coping strategies. My work often supports people navigating anxiety, grief, life transitions, and relationship concerns, with an emphasis on tools that can be applied in everyday life. I view the therapeutic relationship as central to meaningful change.

Mary Sayre
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed, LPC
It has always been important to me to help others find their own worth; realize that they deserve to be treated with dignity and respect; and to help them see that often the biggest obstacle to obtaining a sense of worth is a lack of belief that they deserve it.
These messages were often given to us early in life and we have carried them into our current lives-navigating them with old narratives.
I believe that everyone has the right to be unburdened from these old messages to find a truer and more grounded sense of self.

Aryn Jentz, LCSW; Infinite Abilities Counseling LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
I am an LCSW, a mom, a stepmom, a wife, a disability advocate and an aspiring farmer! I enjoy being able to have a virtual private practice where I can take breaks to go for a walk on our family farm and grab some goat snuggles or explore trails in the woods with our pack of corgis. As your therapist, I aim to create a safe space where we can work together to reduce stressors, reprocess trauma, learn coping skills/resources and see growth as you gain confidence in your path forward.

Dr. Trey Cole
Psychologist, Psy.D., ABPP, DAAETS
Therapy, at its best, is a space where you can slow down, turn inward, and begin to understand yourself more fully. My role is to walk alongside you in that process — with honesty, care, and deep respect for your experience.
I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My approach draws from CBT, ACT, trauma-focused therapy, and existential therapy, always tailored to what feels most useful for you. But more than any particular method, I believe healing happens through genuine connection — when you feel truly seen and understood.
Together, we'll explore the patterns, emotions, and beliefs that shape how you move through the world. We'll build practical tools where you need them, and make space for the deeper questions when those matter more. My hope is that our work helps you relate to yourself with greater compassion, and to your life with greater clarity and intention.
