Michael Berry
Psychologist, PhD
My ideal client is looking for practical support overcoming problems with binge-eating, insomnia, anxiety, depression, or distress caused by a medical condition. As your psychologist, my first goal is to provide a supportive, non-judgmental, and collaborative space where you can feel comfortable openly sharing your struggles. Together, we’ll identify your goals, figure out what’s getting in the way of change, and develop practical steps to move forward. I regularly measure progress to ensure therapy is focused and effective, helping you feel better while gaining insight and skills to maintain your progress long after therapy ends.

Ashika Dickerson
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC
At On Mental Health Matters, I believe that exceptional mental health care is built on trust, compassion, and individualized treatment. My goal is to create a welcoming, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to take meaningful steps toward lasting emotional wellness.
I'm passionate about caring for the whole person, and I understand how daunting seeking mental healthcare can be. With more than 25 years of healthcare experience and advanced training as a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide evidence-based medication management and supportive psychotherapy tailored to your unique needs. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, I take the time to understand your story, identify the root causes of your symptoms, and develop a treatment plan that aligns with your goals, values, and lifestyle.

Josh Spell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
At times, we may lose our ability to trust our intuition. We may feel like imposters in our relationships, jobs or within ourselves. Therapy can offer a bridge back to understanding your authentic needs. I work with adults of all genders, races and sexual orientations experiencing anxiety, self-doubt and perfectionism. Symptoms related to these issues can manifest as feeling cut off from emotions, overwhelm, stress and burnout. I also provide services to athletes and performing artists who may be experiencing life transitions, performance anxiety or injury.
My own journey as a member of the LGBTQ+ population and professional ballet dancer led me to the field of mental health. My approach is client-centered and strengths-based. I believe everyone has the wisdom to know what is best for their own growth. I am here to guide individuals in uncovering new skills and untangling unhelpful narratives and core beliefs.
Together, we will develop an understanding of structures at play in your life that uphold self-doubt by laying the framework to trust your intuition and Self. We will also stretch your mind through self-compassion, curiosity, resilience, creativity, and adaptability. If you are interested in meeting with me, please reach out to see if we are a good fit. I look forward to hearing from you!

Gary Ashley
Therapist, LMHCA, Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate
You may know something needs to change but not be sure where to begin. Therapy can be a place to slow things down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and look at familiar challenges from a different angle. I work with teens, adults, and couples around anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, stress, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative, practical, and strengths-based, with a focus on helping you better understand what is happening and identify what may actually be useful in your everyday life.

Kody Evans
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
You may know something needs to change but feel unsure where to begin. I work with adults, couples, and families navigating relationship challenges, ADHD, anxiety, family conflict, parenting stress, and major life transitions. My approach is compassionate and direct, we’ll look honestly at what isn’t working, understand what is getting in the way, and develop practical ways to move forward. Therapy should be more than a place to talk; it should help you create change you can feel in your relationships and everyday life.
