For clients who are open to it, I also incorporate Christian counseling acknowledging the significance of faith in the process of healing and personal growth.
Life can be challenging, and you don't have to go through it alone. If you're seeking a closer, more meaningful relationship with your partner, desiring a better connection with your kids, or longing for a deeper sense of fulfillment and meaning in life, therapy can provide the support and guidance you need. My practice is dedicated to providing support to women and couples as they navigate through various challenges such as marital conflict, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, stress, PTSD/trauma, and the pursuit of a more meaningful life. Go to www.lifetreecounseling.net to find out more and contact me today!

Life is full of twists & turns; seasons that are heavy & seasons we move through with ease. I believe we all can benefit from a listening ear & predictable support as we embrace a life of radical honesty. I count it one of my greatest joys to have the honor of holding space for others as they sit with their past, navigate their present, & dream of what their future could be. My approach is focused on strengths, & providing hope as we navigate life together. I'm passionate about meeting people with acceptance & hope; exactly where they are, however they show up in this world.

We all go through valleys and peaks in our lives. Sometimes the only way to get out of a deep pit is through grasping the hand that is there to help you. I have seen personally what can happen with the help of someone who offers unconditional support and encouragement, moving one out of the darkness and into the light. I am particularly passionate about holistic health and wellness and believe we are all on a journey toward better health. In addition to my Master's Degree in Social Work, I have completed a certificate through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition and enjoy bringing all areas of wellness in greater focus.

Whatever type of Anxiety you have, treatment can help, especially if you feel like you’re worrying too much and it’s interfering with your work, relationships, or other parts of your life. If your anxiety is upsetting to you and difficult to control, seek out counseling. Although Depression may occur only once in a person’s life, people typically have multiple episodes. During these episodes, symptoms occur most of the day, nearly every day. Why live like this when you don’t have to?

We are all journeying through life, and it is a privilege for me to be welcomed into your story. Of all the people I have met in all the locations I have traveled to, I have found the following to be true: though each story is unique, everyone faces challenges, and everyone has the need to be heard, to be valued, and to be loved. I care deeply about all people and aim to demonstrate that by valuing who you are as an individual and listening attentively to your story. I view counseling as a collaborate process in which we work together to meet your unique needs.

People enter into a counseling relationship when nothing else seems to be working. Although most people soon make comments such as, “(Counseling) was a lot better than I thought it would be”, few people seek counseling as a first option. More often we seek out techniques that either help us to temporarily avoid (e.g., media, social networking) our anxiety, or we seek temporary shots of pleasure (e.g., alcohol, food, pornography) that make us feel good for a short time. Soon enough we realize that all of these things leave us feeling more hollow and lonely, and that is when we start thinking about counseling.

Looking for a change? Maybe you're not super happy with how things are going right now. It's totally normal to feel this way sometimes. You might get annoyed or stressed easily. It's like you're dealing with stuff you never thought you'd have to deal with. Even when you try to make things better, it doesn't seem to work. You're tired of feeling stressed out. Sometimes, everything at home is fine, but work might be tough, or it could be the other way around. → It's time to do something about it! ←

Life is full of changes. Sometimes these changes are filled with excited butterflies as you start a new school or career, begin a new relationship or pursue a dream. Other times these changes can be marked by frustration or pain as you go through the loss of a loved one, career or dream. No matter what you experience, having someone to walk alongside you can help bring a sigh of relief and be an added support.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience in working with children, adolescents and adults. As children grow and change, they often think and respond differently than adults would. I meet kids where they are at to help them through their struggles in a way that makes sense to them. I help parents understand the limits of the developing brain and how that can play into some of the struggles their child might be experiencing. I have worked in the school setting, taught college level classes and continue to speak to local teachers about the ways children grow and understand the world.

Hello! My name is Camelia Lonsway, I am a licensed clinical social worker with a background in trauma. I have worked with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, I also have experience working with veterans. My background in trauma helps to inform my practice with those who experience depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and/or relational issues. Sometimes we can only do so much work by ourselves before we need assistance. I enjoy working with those who are motivated to change but are feeling stuck in the process.

Hello! I view each person (or couple) as unique and autonomous. I believe everyone has a story of where they have been, where they are, and where they are hoping to go. These stories are complex and I believe everyone has biological, emotional, social, and spiritual needs.

It's through setting and achieving goals, that you will feel you're getting the most out of our time together.

I once heard that in order to live a fulfilling life you need to live it fully everyday. Living fully can look different from day to day. Some days living fully may bring joy, peace, excitement, & love as you form new relationships, pursue your passions, & discover more about yourself. Yet other days living fully may bring frustration, sorrow, fear, and pain as you face loss, trauma, and uncertainty. In either of these cases, living fully is done in relationship and living alongside another can bring healing beyond belief. I strive to be that ally, to walk alongside others as they experience the joys & challenges of living fully.
