Caitlin Hollen, LPCMHSP
I work with tweens, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, stress, perfectionism, ADHD, or feeling different from others. Many of my clients are gifted or neurodivergent, and I understand those experiences personally. My approach is warm, flexible, and focused on helping you feel understood while building confidence, coping skills, and self-acceptance. Outside of therapy, I enjoy coffee shops, reading by the water, and spending time with my two dogs and two cats. I believe growth happens when you feel safe, seen, and supported, and I strive to provide that space.

Life can be difficult at times. It is nice to have someone you can confide in about life struggles you are experiencing. Pain and adversity are unfortunately a part of the human experience. There are many reasons we may seek therapy but regardless of your reason, we could all benefit from a little extra support in life, especially when times are rough. I am dedicated to helping, and enjoy working with, individuals and families. I have been an LCSW for 15 years. Feel free to reach out and ask any questions you might have.

Sharehan Ayesh, LPCMHSP
I work well with clients whom are seeking to improve their quality of life. If there’s ever a moment where one maybe feeling a void, emptiness inside of them I assist and facilitate clients through rediscovery of self. The concept of being fully aware of oneself and how you see the world is crucial to identifying and upholding your personal values and standards. It’s when we neglect our standards of living do we find conflict or that internal battle. Most of the time this happens when a life stressor occurs. My ideal client is one whom is ready to move from victim to survivor.

Nicole A Allen, LCSW
I work as a therapist and life coach for young adults. This transitional phase of life can have challenges, but is also bursting with opportunity to create the life you've always wanted. Clients and I work together to understand how their past can contribute to current challenges, but also how they can move forward and use their experiences to find purpose. As a therapist, my foundation in faith informs my therapeutic approach, however, I encourage anyone, regardless of where they are on their journey, to reach out and come as you are. I lead with empathy, positive regard and wish to see you exactly as you are.
