Kathryn Snell-Ryan, LPC, ATR, Art Therapist, Co-owner
My practice is committed to helping you explore what feels fractured in your life, find or re-connect with what feels "right", and make meaningful changes that will help move you forward. I believe that change, despite the weight of history, is entirely possible. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and nationally registered Art Therapist, and my approach to therapy is closely aligned with current research on brain functioning and best-practice treatment. Alongside my therapy work over the past two years, I have also been involved in the creation of A Penny For Your Thoughts: a survival kit for kids & adults, a playful communication card game. I consider myself a seasoned clinician, a straight-forward communicator, and a sincere encourager of living well. I am also a mother, wife, sister, friend, and daughter - all of which I learn more from everyday. Qualifications:

Linda Willow, LCSW, QHMP Therapist
Whether you suffer from depression, anxiety, pain, or even devastating illness or loss(es); it is our thought patterns, refusal to accept reality, and unhealthy habits that often magnify such troubles into catastrophes. By learning how to befriend yourself and work with your mind in constructive ways, you'll not only cope better, but can grow from such troubles, which are often teachers, or doorways to higher levels of wisdom if we seek the messages encased in them. Stop hiding from your life and take the leap with me! 'Chaos should be regarded as extremely good news.' --Chogyam Trungpa Blending spirituality with evidence based practice such as Mindfulness and Compassion practices, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, I help you to access your deepest wisdom to overcome problems and grow from them. I use Harm Reduction Psychotherapy, Mindful Recovery or 12-step to help you overcome mild addictions. I am not a CADC. I welcome and am experienced with LGBTQIA-identified clients, familiarity with trans issues and resources, welcoming and celebrating gender-fluid and non-binary people. None of us are perfect; but we share perfect imperfection. Instead of an "expert" stance, I believe that being my down-to-earth self (which includes extensive training and experience) is what helps you feel safe and able to open and heal, thus discovering your true, best self."

Populations & Approach I have worked with children, adolescents, adults and aging adults on a variety of issues with a basic premise that a person needs to be “whole” in mind, body and spirit (not religiously defined) to feel empowered and able to handle the ups and downs that life naturally brings. My approach is strength based to support an individual/family to reconnect and identify their internal skills to help improve their circumstance. My counseling techniques include a blend of Acceptance (ACT) based therapy; Motivational Interviewing (MI); Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT); Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT); Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT); Solution Focused (SFT); and a variety of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills along with Gottman influenced relational work. The combination of these evidenced based therapies allows for one’s mind; actions; and core identity to be engaged throughout the counseling process. |
