I’m a Licensed Clinical Therapist with over 12 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults and geriatric populations. I’ve practiced in various settings such as outpatient mental health clinics, in-patient psychiatric hospitals, in-home and virtually. I specialize in anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, anger management issues along with trauma and abuse.
Hello there! I'm Jillian. I am warm, compassionate, nonjudgmental, creative and funny (at least I think so). I have been helping people for nearly two decades and I have extensive training in several evidence-based practices, including EMDR, EFT Tapping, TF-CBT, and DBT. My specialty is trauma work, but I have also helped clients resolve a wide range of other concerns (see above).
I’m Kaymara Gayle, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works primarily with adults (18+) navigating grief, anxiety, relationship issues, and depression. My approach is supportive and collaborative—I don’t just listen, I partner with you. Together, we’ll explore the patterns and challenges that may be holding you back and work toward insight, healing, and growth.
I’m an insightful and compassionate therapist who believes in meeting clients where they are. Whether you're overwhelmed by loss, stuck in unhealthy relationship dynamics, or battling anxious or low moods, I will help you make sense of what you're feeling and why. I value honesty, care deeply about my clients’ progress, and bring a thoughtful, strategic mindset to our work.
You don’t have to face things alone. If you're ready to understand yourself more deeply and move toward change, I’m here to guide and support you each step of the way.
---“Beginnings can be scary, endings can be sad, but it’s the middle that counts. We just need to remember that when we find ourselves at the beginning, just give hope a chance to float up” (Sandra Bullock, Hope Floats)
Does it feel like you’ve been going through life in “survival mode?” Are you asking yourself “what is my purpose in life?” Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed by fear when considering a change in your life? Are you trying to navigate a transition in your life--job, relocation, relationships, chronic illness/disability etc? Let’s face it, life doesn’t always work out the way we plan and can make us feel all kinds of different emotions. It’s ok to not feel ok all the time. We all go through challenging times in our lives. We don’t have to have a mental health disorder to seek a professional. We may need to seek out someone who can provide a guiding hand, and an objective ear to listen, to help you discover your own underlying strengths, and to provide you with answers to your questions and help you along your journey. I can help you learn to listen to your body, quiet your mind, and follow your heart to find peace within your soul.
My name is Monica Whalen and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years post-graduate experience. I have worked with individuals of all ages and specialize in working with older teens and adults to help guide them on their path to shape their future. It would be my pleasure to work with you on your journey to rediscovering your true self.
It isn’t easy to find the courage to ask for help. If you are reading this, I commend you for getting this far. When you enter my office, you are greeted with warmth and authenticity. I will work hard to provide a safe environment for you to explore and express yourself openly. I use a multi-faceted therapeutic approach with all of my clients as we all come with unique strengths and needs. If you are looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you are just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals
