S. Abigail McCarrel : Welcome Home Family Therapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, DCSW
I am a family therapist. I work closely with families, especially parents, to create calm and peace in the family. Parents who seek my help are often at their wits end and do not know what else to do to help their children. Kiddos in my client families are often gifted or twice exceptional, with frequent complex and challenging episodes that baffle and bewilder their parents. I also work with families who are in the post-adoptive stage of their family's development. I work intensely with parents to understand the brain science at work in all family members, helping parents to become the healers in the family.
As a family therapist, I work from a systems perspective. This means that change in one person impacts everyone else in the family. Since parents are the head of the household and are the leaders in the family, I focus on giving parents the understanding and tools to help their children so that everyone in the family can thrive. This involves helping parents make a lens shift, letting go of outdated parenting strategies for more science-based tools to help all family members. When parents change the way they look at and understand their children, children will change.

Elaine Quattro
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Among my areas of expertise are assisting men and women to find their true strengths, improving communication in all types of relationships (including understanding the gender differences that affect relationships), providing direction with career transitions (I have a business background as well), using the power of cognitive beliefs to help with depression and anxiety, and guiding those who turn to food for comfort to gain freedom through intuitive eating principles.
In addition to being an experienced relationship therapist, I have presented at International conferences and to general audiences speaking on the topics of Couples Counseling using Christian Principles, Understanding and Appreciating Gender Differences, Mastering Emotional Wellness, and the Healing Power of Forgiveness.
I am an interactive, solution-focused therapist. My therapeutic approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges. I integrate complementary methodologies and techniques to offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client. With compassion and understanding, I work with each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing.

Matthew Kijak, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Let's work through this together.
If you’re feeling worn out, anxious, and disconnected, and your current way of living feels off course, my therapeutic approach can provide the support you need. Much of our distress originates from deeply rooted, uncontrollable negative thoughts about ourselves and the world, embedded during our upbringing. Often, we remain unaware of what keeps us stuck, making it challenging to find a way out.
I've been fortunate to assist numerous individuals whose lives felt unsustainable and unfulfilling, guiding them to uncover their truest, most vibrant selves. This process is not about making minor adjustments; it's about profound transformation. The life you desire is closer than you realize, but the path to it isn’t always clear when traveled alone.
Together, we will explore evidence-based techniques, enriched with the wisdom of philosophy, the tranquility of Buddhism, the strength of Stoicism, the practice of Mindfulness, and the insights of the mind-body connection through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This isn’t just about self-improvement; it’s a deep awakening, liberating you from the negative thoughts and emotions that have held you back."

Dr. Trevor Alleman
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
Pain is an inevitable part of life, but we don't have to suffer needlessly. Suffering occurs when anxiety takes over our thoughts and actions. We become anxious about facing our fears, so we avoid them. We're anxious about letting others get close, so we isolate ourselves. Psychotherapy can be a way out of these defensive patterns. While we can't prevent difficulties and tragedies, we can learn to manage our emotional reactions to external events and relationships. Self-empowerment comes from finding the courage to confront our inner world, regardless of how complicated and messy it may be.
