Michele Figuereo, MA, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
Real growth, healing, and empowerment can flourish in the context of a safe, compassionate, and judgment-free therapeutic relationship. I bring a broad range of experience supporting individuals through depression, anxiety, anger, trauma, grief, family and relationship challenges, career exploration, and issues specific to the LGBTQ+ community. Everyone is welcome here. I work with clients ages 16 and older and would be honored to support you on your journey toward greater self-understanding and wellbeing. Taking that first step by reaching out for an appointment can be the start of meaningful change in your life.
​
I take a holistic approach to therapy, blending my EMDR certification with training in somatic and IFS techniques. Using these evidence-based methods, I support clients in gently processing past traumas and difficult experiences, helping to alleviate anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other challenges, and guiding them toward deeper healing and personal growth.
​
I am deeply committed to providing a safe and welcoming space in therapy. I approach each person with openness and respect and have experience supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds. Every person’s story and unique qualities are valued, and all experiences are honored. Your presence is warmly welcomed here.

Limited Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Hi! I am Savannah and I am happy that you are looking for a change. I believe that the most important form of agency we have is understanding ourselves. Maybe you already feel like you understand yourself but can not figure out why things still feel difficult. Maybe you feel like you don’t understand yourself at all and do not even know where to start. A therapeutic relationship is a great way to explore ourselves and figure out not only who we are but why we do the things we do. That is a necessary step in making changes. You are here, which means you are already contemplating change, and that is the hardest step.
​
My goal as a counselor is to work with you and create a safe space that will hopefully allow you to grow and explore the changes you want to make in yourself. My style of therapy is integrative and based on you, as I believe every individual needs something different from therapy. I would love to work with you to figure out what that need is.
​
Every part of our life experience informs who we currently are, in both positive and negative ways. Our identities are formed not only by our experiences and relationships in childhood and beyond, but also our relationship with the world around us. I am so excited to work with you.

Jillian McCarthy, MSW, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Going through something challenging and feeling like no one knows or can help? If so, it can be extremely isolating to go through this journey alone. It can also be difficult to not push away those that are close to you in an effort to protect yourself from more pain. My goal in therapy is to help you see the light at the end of the tunnel, find your joy again, and improve your outlook on your future. It is an honor of mine to be allowed into your life, to learn some of your story, and assist you in finding solutions to your struggles.
​
I have extensive training in trauma informed care and also take a narrative approach to learning about you and what barriers exist to you feeling like a better version of yourself. I know that therapy can be a vulnerable experience, however my goal is to create a warm and empathetic environment that fosters change rather than stagnation.
​
Regardless of what you have gone through, or what has been done to you, I want every individual that I work with to feel valued and appreciated for who they are and what they have overcome. I look forward to meeting you!

Licensed Master Social Worker
There are times in life when it helps to have someone to walk alongside you on the journey. That is what I am here to do. I believe that every person has strengths they can use to help themselves to grow stronger and move forward. I like to use a strengths-based cognitive behavioral approach to help children, adolescents, and young adults unlock their potential. I have worked as a school social worker, supporting students with a variety of needs, and have knowledge of special education supports. I enjoy helping young people work through the circumstances that life brings and transitions that can be difficult to navigate.
​
I have had extensive training in working with students on the Autism spectrum, LGBTQ+ persons, and using trauma-informed practices. I am also an advocate for teaching children mindfulness practices to ground themselves in the present moment. I have helped many young people manage anxiety and depression, including how to use functional coping skills.
​
I strive to cultivate a safe and welcoming environment, to provide non-judgmental treatment, and work with the young person wherever they are on their journey through life. I aim to empower young people to learn and grow themselves to be strong and independent for their future.
