Somatic Therapy
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.

Somatic Therapy
Shay Malone
Pre-Licensed Professional, Ed.S., Resident in Counseling
According to my clients, one of the things they most appreciate about me is that I listen - actually listen - to what is said and unsaid. I don't tell them how they should or shouldn't feel. My first step is understanding what is bringing you to therapy. Then, I focus on learning about your life and all the different parts that impact you: your specific brain, your family, your work, which parts of your identity matter most to you, and your social and economic stressors. And as I understand you better, I offer support as well as interventions to move you toward your goals.
As a single parent of 3 boys with varying presentations of ADHD and autism, I am very familiar with parenting stresses. I have worked in a variety of positions, from education to foster care to Medicaid services, and I use all of those experiences to support my clients. I like to say that I am the expert in counseling, but you are the expert on you.

Somatic Therapy
Olivia Gibson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW/Therapist
It seems your “colored glasses” are tinted dark with a tinge of black. “You’re not good enough.” The voices of self-doubt are winning out. “If only you were...” swirls in your head after presenting at work, taking a hard test, or spending time with a social group. There’s a loss of motivation to do the things that you did before. It might be that retreating to your couch is the only thing that sounds of any interest to you lately. It’s exhausting to summon the effort it takes to continue forward. To make matters worse, people are starting to be put off by your glass-half-empty mood at a time when you need them to give you a break.
