Welcome, I'm Joel Stephen, a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and mental health advocate dedicated to helping individuals overcome trauma and navigate crises. My passion for mental health advocacy was ignited when I experienced the profound impact of crisis intervention during my career as a Special Agent with the FBI. Now retired, my experiences, including facing my own mental health challenges through trauma, have deeply influenced my approach to therapy.

My goal is to provide you with a comfortable space where you feel safe expressing your thoughts and feelings without fearing rejection or judgment. Together, we will build a great working relationship to explore your unique healing path. I like to balance deep, compassionate work with lighthearted exploration. Your concerns and goals are important to you and are, therefore, important to me. We will explore your challenges and obstacles and find solutions that align with your values and priorities. We will work together to explore how you can use your inherent strengths to discover the causes of your difficulties.

Hi, I'm Katelyn! I have been working in the mental health field for the last four years. I am passionate about creating a safe therapeutic environment where clients feel comfortable processing, exploring, and understanding their problems without judgment or shame. I hold the belief that authenticity is a path to genuine happiness and healing, and I take joy in assisting clients in their journey to explore and embrace their truth. I take a holistic approach to healing and emphasize the importance of wellness in all aspects of clients' lives. I believe that every human is unique and so is their path to healing and happiness.

Therapy offers a chance to learn new ways to cope with emotionally charged life challenges & process the things in life that keep us stuck. In our sessions, I'll help you identify & challenge self-defeating patterns that leave you stuck, unsatisfied, & less than your best. We'll develop a plan based on your needs & what you want out of therapy. I offer a supportive, nonjudgemental space for you to reflect, process, & grow. My approach is strength based, interactive, & collaborative, & I believe that authenticity, respect, & a sense of humor all contribute to a strong therapeutic relationship.

Book with me directly through my website! Are you spending an excessive amount of time worrying? Feeling exhausted and overwhelmed? Dealing with anxiety, depression, professional/academic concerns or just generally feeling "stuck"? Are you seeking a safe place to dig into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors resulting from marginalization or trauma? You are not alone! In fact, most of us struggle with some (if not all) of these concerns from time to time.

I primarily work with clients within queer community, especially trans folks, and lifestyles such as kink, polyamory, or sex work. My hope is to provide a safe space (and a sliding scale!) where you don't have to spend your time in therapy educating your therapist on the concepts that are everyday within your own life. I love work around emotional regulation, communication and conflict resolution, with individuals and with multiple people within a relationship, to help develop healthier coping mechanisms, processing techniques, and self-acceptance/self-care methods to improve feelings of empowerment, security, and life satisfaction.

I consider therapy a great opportunity for me to walk alongside clients on their healing journey. I take a person-centered and trauma informed approach to meet clients where they are at and work together as a team to identify treatment goals. I strive to foster a warm and supportive environment so clients feel seen, heard, and valued. I believe that building a strong therapeutic relationship is one of the most important aspects of therapy. My training and clinical experience has allowed me to work with both athletes and non-athletes from diverse backgrounds and life experiences.

I specialize in a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, trauma, personality disorders, low self-esteem, eating disorders, domestic violence, self-harm, confidence issues, boundary/assertiveness challenges, attachment issues, ego troubles, and grief/loss. My background is rooted in trauma and crisis work, with 6 years of experience in ER, psychiatric ER, and inpatient psychiatric units. Before that, I focused on grief work, meaning making, and death & dying in ICU and Oncology settings. I hold a Master of Social Work from Boston University and a Master of Divinity with a focus on grief from Duke University.

When Life feels overwhelming or unsettling, we often need someone who can consider our situation with more objectivity than we possess. I have been a psychologist for over 20 years and believe in the power of therapy to (1) help us navigate challenging times and (2) learn new strategies that help us reach our potential. I begin every first session with the same opening: "Tell me why you're here and how I could help." Then I ask the clients to tell me their stories. I love listening to people's stories because our stories remind us of where we have been and give us a context for the current and future chapters of our lives.
