Tobias Gale, LMHC
I love working with people who feel drawn to explore their inner world, who sense there’s something meaningful to be discovered but aren’t sure where to start. They long to feel more connected to themselves and others, and are looking for gentle guidance to help them get there. They want to understand the heart of what keeps them stuck in old patterns and finally feel the freedom of being their true selves. I believe in your ability to heal and grow into the person you desire to be. The journey of self-discovery is challenging, but you don’t have to walk it alone. Reach out and we’ll explore how I can help you.

Monique Harding, LCSW
Greetings!! My name is Monique and I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 15 plus years of professional experience. Due to this longevity I have had the blessed opportunity to work with all ages and different populations. Adolescents- which includes the whole spectrum- is one population I've worked with the most and consider my niche! As a result I am experienced in assisting teens with processing stress, depression, anxiety; trauma and abuse; coping with grief and loss; learning better coping skills & focusing on one's strengths which improves self esteem. I treat everyone with respect, am an attuned listener and exude a lot of compassion and empathy. I will facilitate our dialog and tailor the treatment plan to meet your specific, individual needs. My main role is to support and encourage you through your current process of positive transformation. My holistic, evidence based approaches will create a union which leads to your goal attainment and inner stability, in a safe manner. As a young person, agreeing to start therapy takes a lot of courage- and once you begin, it will become evident on how it also is a strength!
