I am a licensed mental health therapist. As a young adult, I realized I kept re-creating the exact cycle I was trying to break.  I saw a therapist who helped me "do the work" to create the quality of life I desired. Through lived experience, education and expertise, I am here to guide you to live the healthiest version of yourself and obtain the quality of life you desire.

I specialize in:

-Working with first responders and families

-Individual therapy

-Trauma

-Life changes, anxiety, depression and more!

I like to build a plan for you that builds on the skills that you already have and can be used to help you improve your overall wellness. I work with your personal level of comfortability and self-awareness. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling around the world to see new things and meet new people. I provide telehealth services.

Katie Roy, LCSW

I enjoy working alongside individuals to help them access healing, hope, and clarity. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and believe that everyone brings a unique set of strengths to the therapy process and I work to help identify and cultivate that. I practice through a compassionate and trauma informed lens and aim to create an environment free of judgment that will allow you to explore areas of challenge and uncertainty safely.

I provide telehealth services. I am EMDR trained and specialize in working with clients that have experienced trauma, loss, anxiety, depression, abuse, narcissistic abuse and more.

Carrise Murray, CSWA

As a mental health therapist, I provide compassionate and evidence-based support to individuals navigating challenges such as anxiety, ADHD, depression, grief, and life transitions. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, understand their experiences, and develop healthier ways of thinking and coping. My approach is tailored to meet each client’s unique needs, drawing from modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) as well as mindfulness practices, and solution-focused techniques.

People sometimes get stuck, knowing they want something different but not knowing which direction to go. They desire better, they know they have so many strengths and abilities, they want to get back to or towards the best version of themselves.

Elijah O'Lear, CSWA

I am passionate about helping people make sense of their stories, find meaning in their pain, and experience healing both within themselves and in their relationships. I believe that true growth often begins by looking back before moving forward. Each of us carries wounds, grief, and unmet expectations that shape who we are and how we relate to others.

 

My goal is to walk with you as you explore your unique story—honoring both the hard parts and the best parts—and integrate it into who you are today. I believe the painful parts of our stories, when cared for well, can become powerful sources of transformation, healing, and hope.

As a Christian, I am able to integrate faith into the counseling process for those who desire it, but I also value meeting people exactly where they are, creating a space of respect and openness for each person’s journey. I enjoy working with individuals and couples who have a deep desire to grow and are ready to engage fully in the work of therapy.

I draw from a range of approaches, including Narrative Therapy, CBT, Strengths-Based, Solutions-Focused, Person-Centered Therapy, Attachment Theory, Internal Family Systems, and Psychodynamic Therapy. I work with individuals and couples (ages 12 and up), offering a compassionate and personalized approach to each person and their goals.
