Navigating life at any age can be tough, and it’s important to remember that some struggles are too challenging to face on your own.

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.

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.
