Mason Greenwood
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC, NCC
I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to heal and achieve their personal goals. I truly value the counseling experience and find that individuals who are open to it make the most progress. I firmly believe that therapy is a collaborative effort, and the more you invest in it, the more you get out of it. My approach is all about finding the right balance between validating experiences, increasing awareness, and challenging you to grow from it all. My clients describe me as supportive, reliable, thought-provoking, and funny. I consider each characteristic to be of great value in counseling.
I aim to create a safe space that encourages trust, openness, reflection, and the courage to challenge yourself in your pursuit of personal growth. I use various methods such as trauma-focused, Adlerian, humanistic, and other therapeutic approaches, which are personalized to each client's needs.
It can be difficult making the first step in starting counseling. By taking interest in the possibility of counseling, you are already halfway there. It’s okay to have questions or not know about services. I will meet you where you are on your journey, and we will work together on how to continue growth and healing.

Christopher Schinler
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I am passionate about supporting individuals in overcoming anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, and other obstacles in life. Having faced and overcome anxiety and depression myself, I can deeply empathize with those striving to reclaim the quality of life they are accustomed to. I find fulfillment in guiding clients to set meaningful goals, overcome internal and external obstacles, and enhance their overall quality of life. My experience includes providing individual, group, couples, and marriage counseling to people of all ages and backgrounds.
My clients describe me as easygoing, laid-back, easy to talk to, and nonjudgmental. I use aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, and goal-oriented therapy, to name a few. I am a musician, so I enjoy incorporating music, art, and other creative methods to help my clients find inspiration and connect with their thoughts and emotions.
I love working with people and become energized when I can assist clients in improving their quality of life. Together, we will get to the root of your negative thoughts, reestablish control of your emotions, change behavioral patterns, and set goals that can be achieved through weekly sessions. If you feel we can be a match, I hope to hear from you soon!

Terry Turner
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC
Everyone should be encouraged to work through any problem or issue they face with the right person to achieve the best outcome. With my support, I look forward to helping you become strong again. I help clients set goals, track progress, feel supported, get feedback, and be appreciated for their hard work, skills, and talents. My work experience is vast and wide-ranging. For example, I have spent many years in the military (VFW), police department, and elite sports competition, supporting individuals as they dealt with career development, performance improvement, addiction, mental illness, and crisis.
My clients describe me as generous, motivational, and dedicated to improving their lives. I'm here as a resource to discuss your needs, and I am fully committed to helping you overcome your struggles. My style is practical, reality-based, and evidenced-based. I treat clients and families with dignity and respect, ensuring a positive atmosphere for growth.
Everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances, is encouraged to address and work through any problem or issue they are facing. If you allow me to join your therapeutic journey, you will be met with honest, forward-thinking discussions so that we can uncover the best approach to helping you achieve the brightest future imaginable.
