Jessica Noesen
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I understand how easy it is to identify the changes that we want to make, but how much harder it is to put those goals into action. Experiencing difficulties in changing behaviors or overcoming painful emotions doesn’t mean that there is something wrong with you; it means that you’re human. Therapy provides an opportunity for you to learn tools that support behavior change; resolve the origins of the behaviors; and receive support and compassion throughout the process. We can work together to remove the roadblocks on the path to your most fulfilling, joy-filled life.
I work from a client-centered, strengths-based perspective to collaborate treatment, with the belief that each client is the expert of their own life. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) interventions to meet client needs.
Whether you are looking for specific trauma-focused treatment, working overcome depression or anxiety, contemplating the use of substances in your life, or just exploring therapy for a stressful life transition, I would be honored to be a part of your journey.

Luke R. Allen
Psychologist, PhD
I operate from an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) approach. A core idea in ACT is that trying too hard to get rid of or control our emotions tends to backfire. Instead of trying to get rid of unwanted thoughts and feelings, I want to help you learn to respond differently to the unwanted thoughts and feelings so that you can keep your focus on living a fulfilling life based on what’s important to you. We will work together to set meaningful goals to address your concerns–whether they relate to life transitions, depression, anxiety, body image, grief/loss, job or academic stress, or gender and sexuality.

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.
