Meet Shaina
Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor

I believe counseling is an opportunity to connect with someone in a safe environment, to express what is happening in your life without fear of judgment.
People face a variety of life issues that become burdensome to deal with on their own. This is where I come in.
I help clients who are dealing
with Anxiety, Depression, Pre-Marital concerns, Marriage & Family, Self-Esteem, Coping-Skills, Life-Coaching, Divorce, Grief, Job and School Stressors.
People encounter hardships in life and relationships. I find it a privilege to be able to walk alongside those who are seeking assistance in their
life.
Getting help is often a healthy way to deal with the stressors and hardships of everyday life and to empower oneself
to cope better and learn from life’s challenges. I would be honored to join you on your journey and offer my compassion, kindness
and expertise.

Meet Morgan
Licensed Professional Counselor

I believe in meeting each client where they’re at currently and taking time to understand each person’s unique story. You may come to a spot where you
feel stuck in your story and unable to move forward. You find yourself feeling overwhelmed,
burdened, and have difficulty connecting with others.
I aim to create a safe and non-judgmental space for client's
to participate in healing conversations. That space starts with a therapeutic relationship built on trust and acceptance, no
matter who you are and what you are going through. I believe counseling is a brave step toward overall wellness,
and my passion is to work alongside my clients as they move past the places they once felt stuck in.
I have experience working
with young adults from a wide variety of backgrounds. I have experience with concerns of academics, adjustment,
anxiety, career concerns, depression, relationships, self-esteem, and trauma. I believe in using an integrative
approach to meet the unique needs of each individual client. I use a variety of theories tailored to each individual's
personality and set of concerns - including cognitive behavioral and mindfulness.

Meet Katie
Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LMHC

Life is hard and unpredictable. Therapy is a safe, supportive space where you will be seen and heard as you explore life’s challenges.
Whether you know exactly what obstacles you are facing, or if you are unsure why you’re feeling the way that you do, therapy can be a great avenue to gain
better insight and learn new techniques that can help lead to a more balanced and better quality of life.
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical
Counselor in the state of Ohio and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state
of Massachusetts with 16 years of experience working in hospital, outpatient, university, and community mental health settings.
I work with adults looking to make positive and meaningful changes in their lives. I provide a nurturing, non-judgmental
environment to help make the experience of therapy relaxed and genuine. My approach is holistic, trauma-informed, and culturally
sensitive, honoring differences in race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, and religion/spirituality.
Together, we’ll
work to develop individualized tools to better cope and heal.
My specialties include stress, anxiety, trauma, substance use and other addictions, adjustment related issues, and depression.

spirit connection.
I welcome the opportunity to work with you and am committed to supporting you as you navigate
