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.

Mirjana Ivanisevic, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
In my therapy practice, I emphasize the use of empathetic listening, compassionate guidance, and a collaborative process to help my clients meet their goals for therapy. I use a combination of active listening, validation, and challenging unhealthy patterns to help clients develop insight into the psychological underpinnings of their distress, we couple this with strategy building to use healthier coping strategies to improve their quality of life. I emphasize solution-focused strategies (e.g., skill building, cognitive and emotional processing) to introduce healthier coping strategies, strengthen their psychological health, and improve their quality of life.

Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
You deserve a space where you don’t have to explain or shrink who you are. I work from a queer-affirming, trans-affirming, and trauma-informed lens to support individuals navigating identity, transition, relationships, and major life changes. Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from their authenticity, or unsure of the next step. Together we create space to slow down, explore, and reconnect with yourself.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in empowerment. Whether you're questioning, in transition, or working through old patterns, I’m here to support you in building a life that feels aligned with your truth. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you feel seen, grounded, and understood.

Meredith Luttrell
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCPC, Clinical Supervisor
I believe that real change begins the moment someone feels truly seen — not managed, not minimized, but genuinely understood. My approach is collaborative and deeply human. I bring both clinical precision and warmth to every session, because I think the best therapy holds space for both the hard truths and the hope that something different is possible.
When you work with me, I want you to feel accepted exactly as you are — not as a diagnosis, not as a set of symptoms, but as a whole person navigating something really difficult. My clients often describe feeling like they can finally exhale — like they've found a space where nothing they say will be met with judgment, and where someone is genuinely in their corner. I work hard to understand not just what you're going through, but what makes you you.
And while I hold space for wherever you are right now, I also hold hope — sometimes on your behalf, before you're able to hold it yourself. I believe every person who walks through my door is deserving of healing, connection, and a life that feels livable. My job is to help you believe that too, and to walk alongside you as you build it.
