Lois Spence
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LMHCA
If you’re in a season of change and feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or stuck, you’re not alone. I help people reconnect with themselves, clarify what matters most, and move forward with more confidence and peace. I specialize in supporting clients through life transitions such as career changes, new parenthood, divorce, relationship shifts, and the empty-nester stage.
My approach is supportive, honest, and grounded. Therapy with me is a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without judgment, and begin building a life that feels more aligned and authentic. I welcome clients of all backgrounds, identities, and lived experiences.

Doria McGahey
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
My path to becoming a mental health counselor is deeply personal. After experiencing trauma in 2010, counseling became a turning point in my life. It not only helped me heal but also gave me the confidence to return to school and pursue an entirely new career. Looking back, I feel tremendous gratitude for the growth I experienced and for the people who supported me along the way. That experience shaped the counselor I am today.
Since becoming a mental health counselor in 2019, I have been passionate about helping people navigate life's challenges with compassion, curiosity, and hope. I believe that healing is possible, even when life feels overwhelming, and that therapy can be a place where meaningful change begins.
My early professional experience includes volunteering with hospice, supporting individuals living with brain injuries and dementia, working with people facing chronic and terminal illnesses during my internship, and providing care through EvergreenHealth's In Home Mental Health program. These experiences have strengthened my appreciation for the resilience of the human spirit and deepened my commitment to helping people grow, adapt, grieve, heal, and find acceptance when life presents difficult realities.
I strive to create a safe, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and understood. Whether you're working through trauma, coping with illness, navigating life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to meet you where you are and support you in creating a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.
Outside of my work as a therapist, I'm a self-proclaimed plant nerd. I hold a bachelor's degree in Herbal Medicine, and my love of plants reflects my appreciation for growth, resilience, and the healing that can happen over time—both in nature and in ourselves.

Melanie Carey
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA
You might be someone who has done a lot of inner work already. You understand your patterns, you’ve reflected deeply, and yet something still feels stuck — in your body, your relationships, or your creative life.
I work with highly sensitive, creative individuals who are often over-functioning on the outside but carrying a quieter sense of overwhelm, disconnection, or burnout within. Many of the people I work with are navigating anxiety, trauma, relational wounds, or creative blocks, and are looking for a kind of therapy that goes beyond coping skills into something more meaningful and lasting.
My approach is gentle, collaborative, and grounded in deep listening. I’m trained in psychodynamic therapy and Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy, which means we pay attention not only to your thoughts and experiences, but also to the subtle, body-based knowing that often holds the next step forward. Rather than rushing insight or forcing change, we create space for something more organic to unfold.
I believe healing happens in a space where you feel safe enough to slow down, curious enough to listen inward, and supported enough to be exactly where you are. From there, change tends to come in ways that feel more integrated, more sustainable, and more like your own.
