Maesk Group Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LMHC
The single most important thing is that you are helped. We always have that front and center. A person-centered approach means that we work on the things you want to work on, not the other way around. Said another way, "you drive the car while we are the tour guide!"

Julia Cannon
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
As a therapist, my goal is to build a nurturing and inclusive environment where you feel genuinely heard and valued. In my practice, I’m dedicated to helping you navigate your challenges with a blend of evidence-based therapies and a holistic perspective. I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness techniques, along with Liberation Health Theory, to support your personal growth. Whether you’re dealing with body image issues, relationship struggles, depression/anxiety, navigating neurodivergence, or trauma, my goal is to empower you to embrace your true self and make meaningful progress. I’m here to meet you where you are and guide you through your journey. I often use humor in our sessions to help make things feel a bit more relaxed. It’s all about finding a balance—supporting you through challenges while keeping things approachable. Nobody wants to feel like they’re talking to a wall! I show up authentically in sessions, hoping that you can too. I frequently discuss the effects of capitalism on mental health, acknowledging how it often exacerbates stress and inequality. We all need help navigating a system that undervalues rest and self-care. Understanding that systemic structures influence our lives, I strive to be a thoughtful ally, continually educating myself to offer the most supportive and empathetic care possible. I prioritize creating a supportive environment where authenticity and humor are key, making our sessions both effective and approachable. My goal is to guide you through your journey towards greater self-confidence and growth, meeting you wherever you are. If you're ready to take the next step in self-discovery and growth, let’s connect and see how we can work together. Book your first session with me today by visiting my website!

Maria Elizabeth LeBlanc
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.Ed MSW LICSW
A guiding principle in my work is the belief that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is of the utmost importance. Neuroscientific literature supports the curative powers of deep empathic attunement (limbic resonance), and the brain/body's ability to heal. As such, in addition to attending to you with the same level of respectful presence that I would expect in a therapist, I use both cognitive/emotional and mind/body tools to assist you in your healing. I think you will find me warm, genuine, empathic, and knowledgeable.

Barry Lipscomb
Hypnotherapist, CHT
You’re stuck. You know at your core that things could be better in your life but you just can’t make it happen. You’re a life-long learner and maybe even a spiritual seeker – reading Brene Brown, following Oprah, and listening to Adam Grant, Esther Perel, On Being and other podcasts. Yet you still feel stuck in some way. You know at some level that the power to heal lies within you. Answers are just under the surface. You are certain you could access healing and your own intuition if you could just quieten your mind, trust your gut, and hear your inner voice.
Using guided meditation and hypnotherapy, I help you access and utilize your own inner resources for healing and tap into your intuition and inner wisdom to find your path forward. I work with spiritual seekers just like you to get unstuck, transform what is holding you back and navigate a more fulfilling and productive life.
Contact me to schedule a complimentary 15-minute information session to learn more about Depth Hypnosis counseling sessions and how we can get you unstuck.

Are you ready to rediscover living without the burden of emotional distress? I am an experienced, warm, and compassionate clinical social worker with years of experience treating clients with a variety of mental health conditions. I received my social work degree at Fordham University in New York City. My first year of internship was in the public school system working with at-risk teens. During my second year, I worked with couples experiencing infertility and seeking adoption. I did my post-masters training in Couples and Family therapy at Ackerman Institute for the Family in New York City. I am a mother and step-mother to nine children and four dogs.
