Shannon Hamilton, LPC
I take a very person-centered and trauma-focused approach to my practice. I have worked with all age groups and have a focus on addictions, trauma, attachment disorders, as well as anxiety and depression. I am very comfortable treating addictive disorders, trauma, personality disorders, and attachment disorders. I began my career as a case worker and quickly realized that I would like to take a more personal approach to how I assist clients in gaining a sense of control in their lives. I have been in therapy myself and realize the importance of having a safe space to heal.

Cynthia Keesee, LPC
Life doesn’t come with a manual—life is hard. Sometimes we just want someone to listen, without taking sides. We want space to explain what’s going on and check if our feelings are valid. We can get stuck in our own heads, worried about what others will think—often after judging ourselves enough already. I’m nonjudgmental and laid back. I believe most people are too hard on themselves and many of us aren’t sure how to show our emotions. I’ve worked with a wide range of individuals facing mental health challenges, and I believe we all encounter mental health struggles at some point in our lives.

Jessica Baker, LPC
Life gets messy, and sometimes the ways we’ve learned to "just get through it" leave us feeling stuck or disconnected from what's actually important to us. Whether you're navigating rocky relationships, struggling to set boundaries, or facing a major transition, I want you to know you don't have to figure it out alone.These challenges may tell us that our old coping skills just don't fit our life anymore. I meet my clients where they are without judgment. Together we’ll make sense of the chaos, build the practical skills you need to feel like yourself again, and find a path toward the life you truly want to live.
