Caroline Smith
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Hi there. Admitting you need therapy is not always easy, but it's a courageous step toward prioritizing your mental health and well-being. I value your input and perspective, and I'd like to collaborate with you rather than tell you what to do. Together, we will tailor our sessions to meet your unique needs and goals. I make it a priority to create a welcoming environment where individuals feel comfortable openly discussing their concerns without fear of judgment. My practice primarily focuses on assisting clients with mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, and substance abuse.
Many of my clients grapple with daily life stressors and encounter difficulties in connecting with their loved ones. To address these issues, I employ a compassionate yet direct approach, drawing from evidence-based techniques rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
I'm genuinely eager to build a strong, trusting partnership with you and delve deeper into your story. Throughout our journey together, I strive to be a supportive guide, helping you navigate towards a more fulfilling and joyful life. Call or email me now to schedule an appointment or free consultation. I hope to hear from you soon.

Steve Wasilczuk, Positive Regard Therapy
Pre-Licensed Professional, BM
I believe that an empathic and authentic alliance is the foundation for therapeutic growth and meaningful change. You are the ultimate expert on your lived experiences, and my role is to meet you where you are with respect, honesty, and humility. My approach is strengths-based, anti-racist, and identity-affirming, and I integrate humanistic principles with narrative, existential, solution-focused, and Adlerian practices. This allows us to holistically address your concerns in an environment where you can feel truly seen, heard, and supported.
Before becoming a counselor, I worked as a K-8 music educator. During this time, I witnessed firsthand the profound impact the COVID-19 pandemic had on my students and their families, especially in terms of mental health. These experiences, along with my own creative background, inspired me to pursue a career in counseling. Today, I work with clients who seek help with issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, identity development, and the unique pressures faced by those in the creative fields.
My identity as a performer has also instilled a passion for supporting those in the creative fields. As a musician and former music educator, I understand the unique emotional and psychological experiences that come with a creative life. Whether you're an artist, musician, writer, or actor, I know that your creative journey is deeply intertwined with your emotional world. In my practice, I aim to provide a space where your creative identity can be explored and supported. Together, we’ll work through the challenges you face—whether they are related to performance anxiety, creative block, personal relationships, or broader life transitions—so that you can thrive both personally and professionally.
Whether you're seeking to overcome emotional obstacles, strengthen your identity, or navigate the complexities of a creative career, I'm here to help you achieve meaningful growth and well-being.

Nefertiti Nowell
Therapist, Dr.
While a person can feel better after a good talk with a friend or relative, for moderate or severe emotional distress, this relief is only temporary. Talking with a trained listener helps alleviate emotional distress for good. The clinicians in our practice are trained and ready to help you.
