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.

Sarah Jacques
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSWC-C
**Note: I currently have a waitlist, with in-person and virtual spots expected to open up in November 2026.**
You may feel like you’re always pushing just to stay afloat—managing school, work, or relationships while carrying the weight of burnout, anxiety, or self-doubt. Maybe masking your neurodivergence has left you exhausted, or executive function challenges keep you stuck and overwhelmed. My role as a therapist is to offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can let go of “just try harder,” explore who you are beneath the pressure, and find new ways to move forward with confidence and authenticity.
