Cayla Panitz

I work with people looking to heal their relationship to food and their body; those with eating disorders; people struggling with anxiety and depression, those coping with grief and loss, those who are navigating identity challenges and people healing from personal, systemic and interpersonal trauma.

Ann DeWitt

My clients are individuals, couples, and teens. Family relationships are our greatest joy, and yet... when things aren't working well, can be a near-constant source of frustration, disconnection, and stress. I help improve communication and problem-solving skills so you can work WITH the people in your family, not against them. My clients include moms and dads who are juggling work, home, marriage, friends, kids, and trying to retain (or regain) a sense of self.

Melissa Montello

Grief and loss tend to be focused heavily on death in our society. While death is a large component of grief, it is not the only component. Grief and loss can occur when you've had to end a relationship, lost a job, struggle to conceive, etc. That experience does not just stem from losing a loved one, it stems from many sources and those deserve to be held and witnessed.

Ellie Cash

I am a Master level Intern therapist who specializes in working with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, loss, shame, guilt, sexual abuse and trauma. My goal is to create a space to honor your stories and to partner up with you while walking along the healing path.

Skylar Windham

Grief is a universal experience that each of us will face at some point in our lives. The loss of something or someone that we love can be incredibly overwhelming. I offer the space and time for you to process whatever you need to.

Allyson (Ally) Ridling

Grief is an inevitable, inescapable part of life. We will all lose someone we love at some point in our life—most of us at many points—and the loss can often hit us harder than we expect. In this piece, we’ll cover the basics of grief counseling/grief therapy and provide suggestions, tips, techniques, and exercises you can implement as a person in grieving, part of the support system for a person who is grieving, or as a mental health professional.

Angelie Karabatsos

Pillars of Hope Counseling is about courage, trust, and strength. It takes courage to recognize the need or desire for help. Trust to explore a variety of perspectives and opportunities. Strength to rise above tough challenges. These are the pillars we all possess but often don’t see in ourselves. I help people realize their talents, uncover hidden passions, find forgotten dreams, and overcome difficult life events.

Joshua Ziegler

Through all stages of life, from birth to death, I help individuals, couples and families get through troubled times, tackle new and old problems and develop realistic and sustainable solutions. We answer questions like "how will you know therapy is helping you?" and "what changes will others notice about you that will let you know therapy is working?"

Kimberly Dickenson

This time of life can be overwhelming, so full of change and new that sometimes it feels like too much. It can be confusing trying to figure out who you are, what you believe, how to be in relationships with others and even with yourself! Developing autonomy is exciting and it can also be scary to have to “adult” so much. You are taking responsibility for yourself, but probably still feel like you are ‘not quite’ an adult. I love to help people navigate this in-between time.

Carlin Kent

I believe a healthy therapeutic relationship is one of unconditional positive regard, where we are accepted for who we are, and who we wish to become. My role is to walk alongside my clients in a supportive role as you process and heal. The therapy room is a safe place that holds space for exploration, growth, and an opportunity for personal evolution.

Jessica Warburton

We currently live in a culture that is adverse to feelings of grief and loss, as evidenced by the many "quick fixes" none of which actually work. Loosing something or someone can be extremely difficult and painful and we have to learn how move through grief by feeling it and learning how to carry it within us in a way that can be transformative. When we loose someone or something important to us even though they or it may be gone, it is still a part of who we are.

Leslie Taylor

I specialize in working with folks who are struggling with anxiety, depression, or substance use disorders. I am passionate about working with adolescents, couples, and adults and incorporate a systems perspective with each individual. All of us are affected by relationships and experiences. But we are also affected by the larger systems around us. I want to understand your personal experience within both your family and immediate community as well as the larger community encompassing it.

Laurie Kerridge

Kelle DeBruin

I’m continually curious about my clients. A recognition of the inner strength displayed through the story of an individual is my refrain in the therapy room.

Marla Christensen

Individuals experience circumstances within the context of a system. In relationship therapy, my philosophy is to take into account each person within different systems including, family, couples, children, extended family, and relationships within your workplace. Each individual adds to the dynamic of relationships through his or her experiences. My clinical focus is through the lens of attachment, that is, how are the bonds we are creating effective or ineffective in our current lives. You are
