Enthusiasm about hearing your story. We're fans of your bravery and resilience already

A fierce belief in your ability to make sustainable, meaningful change
-
A touch of humor (one of the most essential life skills)
-
Lots of plant metaphors. Because, after all, we can often blame it on our roots

Therapy can be a lot of things, and what it should be most is effective. This is not about what is “right or wrong” but rather about finding what it is that works for you. While specializing in the Gottman Method Couples Therapy, I aim to support my clients in discovering ways to increase their satisfaction while decreasing distress. At this time, I am currently working towards becoming a Certified Gottman Therapist.
As a substance use counselor, I am able to conduct court ordered substance use evaluations

Rebecca Beddoe, LCSW
I believe each person is unique and that their experiences, in addition to biology, help shape who they are. My background has contributed to my understanding of the connection between people and the systems in which they are involved. I learn a lot from my clients and I enjoy learning about the brain; I feel that understanding what is going on in there, particularly related to neurodivergence, is so helpful in understanding our mental health.

Jade Marasco-Wetzel,
CSW-intern
In my practice, I integrate evidence-based techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients cultivate psychological flexibility, learn useful skills, and build a life rich with meaning and purpose. Rather than focusing solely on symptom reduction, I believe in empowering individuals to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their experiences. I have experience working with both youth and adults seeking support with depression, anxiety, substance use, trauma, and life transitions. Whether you’re struggling with overwhelming emotions, dealing with significant life changes, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, I’m here to offer a compassionate and nonjudgmental space for exploration and growth. My approach is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and collaboration. I believe in tailoring therapy to meet each client’s unique needs to support their journey towards healing and self-discovery.

Elise Humphries, CSW-intern
In my practice, I strive to cultivate a space where clients feel truly seen and heard, free from the fear of being judged or criticized. By fostering an atmosphere of acceptance and understanding, I aim to provide a safe space for deep exploration, healing, and growth. Each person is unique, and so are their experiences, challenges, goals, and motivations. Because of this, my approach is rooted in empathy, curiosity, and collaboration. I partner with my clients to deepen their understanding and acceptance of themselves, cultivate resilience, embrace uncertainty, and navigate life's challenges with courage and purpose. I believe each person has the inherent ability to achieve personal growth and find meaning in their experiences. I have experience working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, grief, substance use, emotional dysregulation, and life transitions

Abbie Smith, CSW-intern
*Not accepting new clients*
I have experience working with different types of trauma, people who are having trouble adjusting to new environments or medical injuries/diagnoses, those navigating acute life crises, first responders, Veterans, teens, anxiety, grief, and depression. Trauma comes in many forms and can make your life feel permanently on hold, but there is hope. I have additional knowledge and training in the areas of Traumatic Brain Injuries, which can lead to changes in the way a person thinks, feels, and behaves, as well as Post-intensive care syndrome (PICS). I believe that professional support during the rehabilitation stage of medical injuries or acute grief can be extremely helpful, as untreated trauma and grief can affect how we view ourselves and the world.

I typically collaborate with adolescents and young adults looking to feel understood and, in turn, better understand themselves. Clients I work with often have high emotional sensitivity and experience depression, anxiety, mood lability, grief, trauma, spirituality issues, and relational conflict. Together, we learn tools to increase self-validation, make behavioral changes, and reenvision life's experiences. Clients find they develop skills to cope with strong emotions, improve their emotional expression with others, and experience genuine, authentic connection.

Danielle Langum, LCSW
I work with teens and adults, particularly those transitioning out of high school and into the next stages of their lives, who find it easy to show compassion to others, but struggle to show themselves the same kindness. They are often perfectionists, people-pleasers, sensitive people, and over-thinkers. I have considerable experience working with teenagers, college students, and young adults, but I enjoy working with all ages. I have completed additional training related to perfectionism, anxiety, and ADHD.
When working with me, you can expect to feel understood, supported, and gently challenged to make shifts that will move you forward. Whether your focus is on strengthening your relationships, navigating difficult life transitions, or "unsticking" yourself from depression, anxiety, or trauma, our work together is aimed at empowering you to create positive change.

I have completed specialized training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy(DBT), am a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist. While my experience ranges widely, I have more extensive experience working with severe mental Illnesses, autism, trauma, and adolescents. I believe each person has uniquely different life paths & experiences, so I don’t practice a one-size fits all approach to therapy. Instead I use an easy-going,compassionate, and flexible approach to get to know you. My hope is to develop a relationship that allows us to tackle the things you find difficult, and find meaning and purpose in your life while allowing you to feel heard, seen, and validated. And because laughter is healing, and reality can be absurd, humor is welcomed in session.

Life can be stressful and overwhelming at times making it difficult for you to feel a sense of peace and fulfillment. As a therapist I utilize a strengths-based, compassionate, non-judgmental approach to healing that is tailored to your individual needs. I enjoy working with individuals who are motivated and willing to explore barriers and opportunities to create a more balanced and fulfilling life.I have experience working with those struggling with perfectionism, lack of confidence, parenting struggles, and overthinkers.
I also enjoy helping couples reconnect and thrive in their relationships. There are times in any relationship where we may feel stuck in repetitive arguments and unhealed wounds that leave us feeling unseen and disconnected in our most cherished relationship. My goal as a therapist is to support you in exploring your relationship, developing practices that restore trust and sense of partnership.
I understand that engaging in therapy takes courage and my aim to build a trusting and safe relation as I support you in your journey.

*Not accepting new clients*
I seek to empower individuals to identify their own strengths, problem-solve ways to overcome obstacles, and begin moving in the direction of their values. I do this by providing a compassionate, culturally-sensitive space to process hardship and begin to rebuild a sense of self-compassion and identity.
My style is influenced by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with an emphasis on mindfulness-based practices. I also integrate Internal Family Systems and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing as appropriate. It's important that as you seek care, you are fully informed about various therapeutic approaches and involved in the treatment planning process. Perusing therapist profiles is a courageous act and the first step towards building a life that is aligned with your hopes and values. If you feel that I may be a good fit for you, please reach out via phone or email.

Reaching out for help takes a lot of courage and can be difficult for some. This can be because it will mean facing the reality of the situation we are in, or due to limited supports in our life. At the same time, I believe that we all have the power to make the desired changes in our lives. Because of this, I prioritize building a strong collaborative relationship with my clients. I offer a humanistic, warm, and calm presence while empowering clients to take back the lead in their lives. If you are ready to make some changes in your life and are open to self-exploration, I may be the right fit for you.
I utilize an eclectic approach which allows me to best fit the needs of my clients. I commonly accomplish this through techniques derived from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectal behavioral therapy, attachment theory, psychodynamic theories, and EMDR.
