Are you struggling to find solutions to your most pressing concerns? Do you find it difficult to communicate with others? Are you feeling bullied, depressed, angry, frustrated, or misunderstood? Are you struggling with understanding your or a family member's sexual identity? Have you experienced physical or verbal abuse and find the trauma is overwhelming you? Have you experienced thoughts of suicide? If any of these questions resonate with you, then let's chat a bit. It is my goal to help you identify and achieve yours!

It is my belief that one of the most courageous decisions a person can make along their journey through life, is to allow themselves to be vulnerable enough to ask for help from time to time. This is especially true when they find themselves stuck in a situation that leaves them feeling defeated or in some cases as, “less than”.

I also believe that we each hold the answers to our problems within ourselves, but that we occasionally need a little help finding a way to uncover those answers. I work with individuals, couples, and families. I also work with active-duty military, veterans, Law Enforcement, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and individuals facing domestic violence issues.

Hi, I’m Mary, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (LCSWA)

I offer a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients can slow down, reflect, and better understand

themselves. I take a person-centered approach and believe therapy works best when clients feel genuinely seen and heard. I integrate evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral

Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients build coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and challenge patterns that impact anxiety and self-esteem.

In our work together, my focus is on helping clients strengthen their sense of self, develop self-compassion, and feel more confident navigating life transitions, stress, and relationships. I value

collaboration, authenticity, and meeting clients where they are in their healing process.

If you’re considering therapy and wondering whether this could be a good fit, I welcome the opportunity to connect and support you on your journey.

 Therapist for Children, Teens, and Families

Is your child or teen struggling with anxiety, behavioral changes, emotional regulation, or trauma? Are you hoping to support their healing and emotional growth in a meaningful way?

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate (LCMHCA #A20855) with over 15 years of experience in public education and specialized training in play therapy. I believe that healing begins with connection. For children, I offer Child-Centered Play Therapy to help them express their inner world through play—a child’s natural language. For older children and teens, I offer a person centered approach and incorporate Cognitive Behavioral techniques. For parents whose child might be struggling with Anxiety or OCD and are looking for a parent-based approach, I am trained in offering parent sessions using the SPACE treatment model (Supporting Parents of Anxious Childhood Emotions).

My goal in therapy is for your child and family is to develop positive self-concept, regulate emotions, foster autonomy and build strong family relationships.

Hi! I’m Carsyn McDonald, a master’s level intern in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Liberty University. I will graduate in May 2026, and I am currently practicing under supervision as I complete my internship hours.

My heart and passion are working with children and adolescents. For young children, I use Child Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) because I truly believe that play is a child’s language and toys are their words. Through CCPT, I create a safe, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate space where children can express themselves, explore their feelings, and work through challenges in a way that feels natural to them through play.

With teens and adults, I primarily use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Person Centered Therapy. In simple terms, CBT helps us look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions influence one another. When we understand these patterns, we can make small changes that lead to meaningful improvement in mood and behavior. The person centered approach allows me to offer empathy, acceptance, and authenticity so clients feel heard and valued.

My goal is to meet each child, teen, and adult right where they are and to walk alongside them with compassion, acceptance, and encouragement. I am honored to support my clients in their growth and healing, and I am passionate about creating a space where they feel safe to be fully themselves.

 Hi, I’m Lindsay Bickley, a masters-level intern in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Southern New Hampshire University. I’m currently practicing under supervision as I complete my internship hours and prepare to graduate in November 2026. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Clinical Counseling Psychology and have a background in teen case management, which helps shape my collaborative, strengths-based approach when working with children, teens, and their families. 

I’m especially passionate about supporting young people; with children, I use Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT), based on the belief that play is a child’s language, to create a safe and nurturing space where they can express themselves and work through challenges. 

With teens and adults, I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centered Therapy to help make sense of how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect, while offering a space grounded in empathy, authenticity, and acceptance. 

I’m also continuing to grow my skills in play therapy and working toward certification in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to better support clients in processing trauma and building healthy coping skills. I see therapy as a shared process, where I join each client as a co-explorer in their lived experience, helping them make meaning of their story while fostering insight, self-awareness, and growth.
