Founder + Owner
HOLLY RAMAEKER: DBT - Linehan Board of Certification, Certified Clinician™
Life is a journey, a journey that is most difficult when traveled alone. I strive to walk with clients on their path towards healing and happiness. Working from a client-centered approach, it is essential for me to understand each client as an individual to develop trust and a partnership in therapy. My clinical treatment approaches include DBT, CBT, Cognitive Processing therapy and Prolonged Exposure. Though I work with clients with a wide variety of presenting concerns and goals, my areas of focus include postpartum and fertility issues, sexual wellness and trauma.
TARA SMITH, MET, LPC
Trauma Certified - Person Centered Therapy Certified Therapist: I have been working the last 7 years with individuals, couples and families on a variety of issues that have seemed to derail their lives. I would love an opportunity to help you identify, detach, and make new decisions regarding negative protective personalities that have been collected over the years. Through the process of spiritual and/or emotional growth we can confront the issues that plague you. I am a solutions focused therapist where hard work and dedication can achieve any goals you desire. I have training in person centered therapy as well as internal family systems. With you in control of your treatment plan we can make success happen. I have training and certification in trauma and spiritually based counseling. Spiritual therapy is a particular type of counseling that allows the client to build or rebuild a relationship with God in order to set their addictions/issues free. If the spiritual approach is not for you, I also provide very solutions focused, goal oriented approaches to the issues. This is the time to get honest and focus on you and what is important to you, I would love to be a part of your journey. At this time I am only seeing clients virtually.

JORDAN MEYER, MA, PLPC
Being a human can be hard. We have mixed emotions, complicated relationships, and a lifetime of learning. Some days you might find yourself unmotivated, overthinking, or flat out angry. Coping with all these feelings and experiences by yourself is daunting. Therapy is your opportunity to focus on you and explore a relationship with yourself. Through Narrative Therapy, Person-Centered approaches, and EMDR I hope to be someone who challenges you, supports you, and learns alongside you. And if you're scared or nervous, don't worry, that's normal. It's called being human!
KATIE BREWER, MA, LPC, ATR-BC
I understand how challenging it can be to cope with the effects of difficult experiences, such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger, guilt, shame, and relationship difficulties. If there is a specific area in your life that you would like to improve, or if you haven't been feeling like yourself, I'd love to explore ways for you to find peace and confidence. My approach to therapy is warm and down-to-earth; I strive to build a therapeutic relationship based on trust, mutual respect, and humor when appropriate. Together, we can explore your experiences, develop coping strategies, and work towards a more fulfilling life. I use a variety of evidence-based therapies, including EMDR, DBT, and art therapy, to help my clients process their experiences in a way that is gentle, and effective. I work collaboratively with clients to create a personalized treatment plan that fits their unique goals and give the information needed to make informed decisions about their own treatment. My perspective is that you are the expert of your own life and you have the capacity to heal. My goal is to provide a safe and nurturing space for you to feel comfortable exploring your emotions and experiences. I am committed to providing my clients with the support and resources they need to move forward, find peace, and feel confident in who they are.

Internship Site Director
ALEX MCENTIRE, MA, LPC
Imagine the person who's in dire need of relief, battling anxiety, trauma, or addictions. From troubled teens to adults and elderly individuals, they all harbor a common desire: a yearning for tranquility and self-acceptance. They're not just seeking a reprieve but are actively motivated to change. With the right guidance, they wish to evolve into a calmer, more peaceful version of themselves. With nearly two decades of dedication to understanding and addressing anxiety, my expertise is more than just a career; it's a lifelong commitment. My proficiency extends to contemporary methods like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). However, I don't limit my approach. I integrate a diverse array of therapeutic modalities, ensuring each client's unique needs are addressed and facilitating their journey to a better mental state. Over the years, I've intimately witnessed the tumultuous journey many face with anxiety, trauma, and addictions. But more importantly, I've also seen countless individuals transition to a place of greater wellbeing and happiness. Your struggles are deeply understood here. Let me accompany you on your path to healing and wellness. I sincerely invite you to take that brave step forward and explore how we can collaborate for your betterment.
ZACHARIAH WHERTVINE, MA, LPC
You will not go where you have not yet been without learning to do what you have not yet done. Many seek wellness, peace, joy, and such believing they must discover it for themselves, by themselves. Yet we see example after example that the most successful have guides, coaches, mentors, or counselors. My therapeutic foundation builds from cognitive-behavioral approaches such as REBT and DBT and pulls in from a variety of approaches to create a person-centered plan for reaching a person's stated goals. I have worked with those wanting to manage symptoms of addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, and personality disorders. I am trained in EMDR and working towards my full certification. Working together we can create a plan for addressing the whole person (physical, spiritual, emotional, and mental) to work towards personal wellness.
BETH RUHL, MA, PLPC, LPC
I bring a warm and inviting energy to client interactions where I help them to make meaning out of
life’s joys, sorrows and times of transition. I help clients begin to answer the question of “Why do bad
things happen to good people?” I bring years of experience working with grief and loss, end of life
issues, times of transition and women’s issues. I use my years working in the mental health field,
chaplaincy, the correctional system and adolescent psychology to empower clients to make the best
and most healthy decisions for themselves and their loved ones. I am also passionate about helping
couples of any age, stage or orientation strengthen their relationships, whether that means teaching
them how to have healthy disagreements or simply helping couples to reignite the emotional and
physical intimacy in their relationship. I believe strongly in the power of unconditional love. I welcome
those from all faith backgrounds or no faith background to engage with me in a non judgemental
space.
ALEXA GAMBINO, MA, PLPC

DR MARCELLIS WASHINGTON, PhD, LPC, LCPC
I believe that understanding your own story is one of the bravest, most courageous things you can do. Everyone has their own unique journey and story to tell but the way we deal with certain roadblocks is not always as straightforward. Taking that story and turning it into your strength is an even bigger feat. It is a testament to our growth and courage to actively work to understand our emotions and create positive change. I am eager to hear your story and learn about your strengths, and the troubles that keep you up at night. You can count on me to have real conversations that guide you through these hardships.
KELSEY WENDLAND-MOORE, MSW, LCSW
Maybe you’re feeling stressed after a difficult, scary, or painful life event. Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed and isolated by your emotions, or not good enough. Anyway around it, I am glad you are here. I can help you reconnect with your sense of calm and work through your struggles to find your growth. I believe that the most impactful aspect of therapy is the sense of safety that the therapist creates in collaboration with their client. I focus my sessions on validating and supporting my clients while also challenging them toward the growth that they’re seeking. I am a Registered Play Therapist who works with clients ages 8 to 40. I primarily use Eye Movement Reprogramming and Desensitization (EMDR) as well as techniques from Sandtray Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. Much of my experience as a therapist is with individuals and families who have experienced sexual assault/abuse, concerns related to gender identity, complex and single-event traumas, and religious trauma. I am LGBTQ+ affirming. I am here to renew your hope that you and/or your child can feel better. And you don’t have to figure it out all on your own! We can work together to strengthen your ability to cope, deepen your self-understanding, and heal what hurts.

Since, Tyler has put a significant focus on working with clientele that present with acute symptoms, including: thought disorders, addictions, and self-harming thoughts. In utilizing these experiences, Tyler has shaped the way in which he feels a person can best improve and achieve peace of mind and quality of life that one is seeking: through simplicity of the mind and one’s environment. A combination of client-centered, holistic, and cognitive-behavioral approaches are readily utilized to assist in allowing a person to unscramble and simplify the complexities of life.
ABBY CRAMSEY, MA, LPC
Life can be hard sometimes, life can be full of joy sometimes. I am that person that will walk alongside you through this journey. I love helping individuals find their inner strength, their inner peace. I am a big believer in overall wellness and how our body and mind are connected. My biggest characteristic is compassion and ability to sit present with you through your grief, sadness, anger, and joy. I provide a non-judgmental environment and space for you to process and assist with a sense of clarity and understanding. I have a background in providing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered approaches, Solution-Focused, Play Therapy, DBT skills, along with trauma sensitive approaches. We can sit together and identify what approaches may be best suited to your specific needs.

My ultimate goal is for you to feel empowered to create new confidence levels to help live your best life.
EMILY ALLEN, MA, LPC
My goal in therapy is to assist you in finding the best version of yourself. For so many, our best qualities are stuck behind trauma, learned behaviors, and negative thinking.

I have experience in counseling a wide variety of clients, but my passions lie in trauma, domestic violence, anxiety, depression, and low self esteem, affecting children and adults. My therapeutic approach is to treat each client individually, according to their specific needs.

KAITLYN EKART - ELIOT, MS, LPC, ATR
I aim to create a safe environment where you are in charge of your treatment. As a therapist, I am here to help you navigate the treatment process with your goals at heart. Using person-centered therapy, EMDR, and art therapy, I hope to challenge you from a non-judgmental, trauma-informed framework to manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and PTSD. Art is a universal human language and yet, can also be interpreted differently by each viewer. Sometimes it's hard to find words for our unique feelings and experiences. Art therapy is a great way for teens and adults to explore creativity, mindfulness, anxiety, depression, and traumas without the pressure of making gallery-worthy art. If you're the person who thinks, "I can't even draw a stick figure!" I challenge you to come in and creatively explore your emotions and thoughts. You will never be forced to create artwork, but the option will always be there. I like to think of art therapy sessions on a spectrum, one session could look like all art-making and little discussion, while another may look like mostly talking and no art-making.
ELIZABETH LAUGHLIN, MS, LMFT

ALISHA LANGLEY, MA, LPC
I am dedicated to promoting mental health wellness and providing compassionate support to individuals navigating the complexities of mental health challenges. I am committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings without judgment. I believe that mental health is just as important as physical health, and strive to empower my clients with the tools they need to achieve emotional well-being. Some of my specializations include working with adults that are struggling with: depression, anxiety, ADHD, relational issues, grief and loss, adjustment to change, life transitions and other mental health concerns.

Some of the modalities I use are CBT, REBT, child-centered play therapy, attachment therapy, and Internal Family Systems. Therapy probably won’t always be easy, but it will be worth it. You are worth it.
RICHARD REYNOLDS, MSW, LCSW
Choosing a therapist is scary and an important choice in anyone’s life. Knowing who the “right”therapist for you is difficult at best. I chose this field due to people naturally gravitating towards me without solicitation to tell me their woes. Perhaps its because I genuinely care about people. CBT, Cognitive Processing Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy are the main evidenced based therapies I utilize. In my career I have worked with severely mentally ill individuals in hospital settings ranging in ages 13 through 104. My areas of focus include depression, anxiety and relationship issues. Would appreciate the opportunity of seeing if we are a “fit” so we can begin our partnership and you can begin your journey back to health. And just in case you are wondering...I am a cat AND a dog person.
AARON HENSON, BA
You're here looking for a counselor because you hope to make a change or grow in your life. I truly believe each person holds within themselves the ability to do just that! I also believe the counseling relationship lays the groundwork for this healing. I promise to approach counseling you with person-centered values that are proven to help. This means I will accept you for who you are, relate to you empathetically, and be my authentic self. I feel eager to walk alongside you as you address any concern that may face you: depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, and much more.
ELIZABETH FARRAH, MSW, LCSW
To anyone who may be struggling but are willing to give therapy a chance: I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here taking strides towards helping yourself find peace, pursue growth, and gain support while working through challenges life may have thrown at you. Every person deserves to feel whole, safe, and heard while they are on their journey. In both my professional and personal experience, therapy is a profound process that can help guide people to find these things within themselves. Therapy offers help in a lot of ways, but I believe that a meaningful therapeutic relationship is the most impactful. It is my goal to create a warm, accepting, and supportive environment for all of my clients. I have experience working with people from all different walks of life and at different stages of life. I have had invaluable experiences working with adults and teens using EMDR and talk therapy based in CBT, mindfulness, person-centered treatment, and trauma-informed care. I have spent the last 3 years working closely with those who identify in the LGBTQ community, people going through grief and loss, anyone adjusting to new life circumstances, and those that are challenged by depression, anxiety, or shame. I welcome the opportunity to connect with you if you decide I could be a good fit!
ALEX VUE, BA
Life can sometimes feel lost in the woods, surrounded by uncertainty, confusion, and the weight of not knowing where to turn. Every direction might seem like it leads to nowhere, and it's easy to feel stuck, overwhelmed, or isolated. As a therapist intern, I can walk alongside you. My role isn't to tell you which path to take, but to help you discover your way forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose. I provide a safe, empathetic space where you can share your struggles without judgment. I'll remind you to trust the process and celebrate every step forward, helping you stay motivated. Therapy is a collaborative process, and my goal is to empower you to find your way out of the woods and into a place of clarity, peace, and fulfillment.

I utilize an integrative approach that includes, Play Therapy, EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Sand Tray Therapy, and Parts Work. With a compassionate, personalized approach, I work alongside individuals and families to create resilience, growth, and lasting change.
ERIC PETERSEN, MA, PLPC
As we have all quickly learned, to partake in the full human experience means to experience suffering. Whether it be grief, excessive guilt, or a painful past, we all have pain that is worthy of being listened to. I believe our struggles are only exacerbated when we resist and don't listen to what needs to be expressed. I like to imagine therapy as going on a walk. Along the walk we'll find some parts of ourselves who may be hurting, some parts who may be protective, and other parts who might just hold the keys to our healing. I would like to invite you to join me as we walk together and gain a deeper sense of Self. And the further we walk together, I am confident we will find a pathway to relief, healing and wholeness. Some of my focus areas include: queer identity development, suicidality and self-harm, childhood trauma, quarter-life crises, life transitions & a sense of feeling “stuck.”
MAKENNA RICKETTS, BA
I want to establish a therapeutic alliance where clients feel genuinely heard and understood by providing a secure, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment. I hope to empower each client to explore their thoughts and feelings, gain insight into their experiences, and develop the confidence to explore change that is meaningful to them. I believe that person-centered counseling has the ability to help individuals discover their own strengths and potential. I have a strong desire to see my clients grow in ways that matter to them and I hope to support that growth in each client's counseling journey. I have a passion for working with young people, children to young adults as I find this to be such a formative time in one’s life. I strive to create an environment where younger clients feel safe and valued as the unique individuals they are. I believe that through counseling many people receive the support they need in order to thrive and I hope to walk alongside my clients in this process.
