Alyssa Browning , LSW
Hi there! I’m Alyssa, a licensed social worker who believes therapy should be a safe, supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are. I work mostly with kids ages 10+, teens, and young adults navigating life’s messiness—like anxiety, depression, behavioral challenges, school stress, identity exploration, or just feeling stuck. That said, I am open to working with any age if it's the right fit! I use a variety of approaches, but always tailor my therapeutic approach to fit your needs. Outside of sessions, I love to laugh, keep things real, and find joy in the little things — and I bring that same energy into my work. Therapy is hard work, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun along the way. Healing can happen at any stage of life, and I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey!

Abbie Huff, LCSW
Therapist
Hi, I’m Abbie! I am certified in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy and specialize in treating behavioral issues caused by trauma. My experience has been working with at-risk youth in residential and outpatient settings, addiction services, as well as moderate to severe mental health issues. I love using humor as a tool in therapy, so don’t be surprised if you hear anything ranging from a bad dad joke to a dry, sarcastic response. My approach, after building rapport, is to be straight-forward with my clients to achieve the most solution-focused results. My goal is to make progress in a safe and fun environment!

Benson Avis, LCSW
Therapist
What’s up? I’m Benson! I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who struggle with anxiety and am trained in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy. I have worked primarily with at-risk youth in residential and outpatient settings but have also worked with adults experiencing severe mental health problems in an outpatient setting. I believe a good working relationship between therapist and client is important, so expect some laughter, some tears, and some honest feedback. Most importantly, my desire is to help you understand your mental health and make sustainable changes that will improve your life!

Emily Phillips, LCSW
Hi, I am Emily, and I provide compassionate, evidence-based counseling for individuals navigating life's challenges. Specific areas of dedicated practice have included school social work, acute care, addictions, and palliative care. My practice is grounded in a holistic, trauma-informed approach that honors the mind-body connections and the unique strengths each client brings. I welcome opportunities to work with children, adolescents, families, adults, and the elderly who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck due to past wounds, current stressors, or relationship dynamics. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, life transitions, grief, trauma, burnout, or simply longing for a deeper sense of self-trust and peace, I am here to offer a sacred space for healing and connection. Through integrative modalities—ranging from CBT and mindfulness to somatic awareness and boundary work—we work collaboratively to help you gain clarity, regulate your nervous system, and reclaim your voice and vitality. I help clients by creating a safe, non-judgmental space where they can slow down, reflect, and connect with their inner wisdom. My role is not to "fix" but to guide and support your growth, insight, and healing. Together we explore the patterns that are no longer serving you, develop tools for emotional resilience, and work towards living a more grounded, empowered, and fulfilled life. Sessions are tailored to your specific needs—whether you need a place to process trauma, learn or reinforce practical skills for anxiety or boundaries, or intentionally reconnect with your authentic self. My goal is to walk alongside you as you move from surviving to thriving.
