Years of education and experience as a social and behavioral health researcher enables me to bring a wealth of knowledge to our interactions to help you with barriers and obstacles you may be facing. With a former background as a classical ballerina, and working as a professor for many years I bring a combination of discipline, empathy, and proven strategies to motivate and encourage you to bring out the BEST you have to offer yourself, your family, and your community.

Licensed Professional Counselor, Ph.D., LMFT
Are you overwhelmed? Depressed? Does life seem empty, barely worth living? If in a relationship, do you feel disconnected & can't find your way back to the special love you had? Are fights or a cold war so painful & confusing because you know deep down you really do love each other? Love can last!

Dr. JD Wright
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
In our therapeutic journey together, my approach is grounded in an understanding of the impact of trauma, recognizing that our struggles always exist in the context of our environments and histories. I weave mindfulness and positive psychology into our sessions, aiming not just for 'okay,' but for a life that feels truly meaningful and fulfilling. Trained in EMDR, ACT, CBT, and clinical hypnosis, I bring a diverse toolkit to tailor our sessions to your unique needs.
I see our time together as a collaborative space, where your feedback and active participation shape the path to your well-being. There's no one-size-fits-all in therapy—I believe in finding the approach that resonates best with you and addresses your specific concerns. Let's embark on this journey towards positive change together.

Janette Cross
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, EMDR
I am an INFJ (Myers-Briggs) who also enjoys being extraverted at times and I am an Enneagram Type 6 (counter-fearful) Wing 5. I intentionally limit the number of clients I have a week so I can invest in preparing for sessions and being fully present. I love to learn about the brain and body connection and how it ties into our everyday life personally and professionally with clients. I have been known to laugh and cry with clients. Anything I encourage my clients to do, I would also be willing to do.
