TransformationalChoices

Hello and welcome! My name is Lainey and I’m glad you’ve taken this important step in your journey.

I have worked in a variety of settings with a wide variety of different people. Much of my experience includes trauma work stemming from events such as domestic violence, sexual assault, and chaotic childhood experiences. My passion is to help my clients regain a sense of self, a sense of empowerment, and discover new ways to experience their lives. My goal is to help you find a space in which you are heard, seen, and safe.

My style is eclectic with a focus on person-centered, humanistic techniques. I pride myself on my ability to meet people where they are and sit with them there until they are ready to move forward.  I am not only able to hear how you feel inside, but also give some insight on the biological processes which contribute to these feelings. Let’s talk! I look forward to meeting you.

Hello! We all experience struggle and difficult situations in life. I approach all who come into my office with acceptance, support and individually tailored sessions. We will work together to gain better understanding, set goals and work toward them. Therapy is a safe, judgement-free space for you and/or your family unit to work through hard times. It is a privilege and an honor for me to walk with you through such difficult and vulnerable moments. Please know that you are not alone and, together, we can move toward a better tomorrow.

Welcome. I am glad you are here. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment where we can build a valuable therapeutic relationship. My hope is that you will experience growth and healing through better understanding your thoughts, behaviors, emotions and choices. I believe we are all capable of change - we just need a little help along the way.

Hello and welcome. I am a psychologist with 30+ years experience working with adults in residential, hospital, and outpatient settings. Within these various settings I have helped clients who struggled with a variety of life challenges.

Through the use of the supportive therapy approach, and by collaborating with the clients to identify therapy goals, it is my ultimate objective to help the client attain their goals. One may think the outlook bleak, the hurdle insurmountable, but I wish for the client to realize there are options available and to instill a sense of hopefulness for the future.

By offering whatever help is needed, the aim is for an outcome that has built up functional, healthy, and adaptive behaviors, and increased self-esteem and that the client has now become an individual that is in control, effective, satisfied, and content.

Welcome! I believe that everyone deserves support, encouragement, healing, and peace. My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, validation, and a deep understanding of the ways in which trauma can impact every aspect of a person’s life. By creating an affirming and non-judge mental space, I work collaboratively with my clients to explore and process through their experiences, identify their strengths, and develop strategies for coping and healing.

My therapeutic approach is person-centered and strengths-based. I utilize empowerment and trauma-informed practices while paying special attention to the ways each client’s identities impact their experiences. I integrate therapeutic modalities from interpersonal, psychodynamic, and family systems theories and frameworks. I am passionate about helping individuals heal and thrive after experiencing trauma, particularly related to intimate partner violence/domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, relationship issues, childhood sexual abuse, and family issues.

You have taken the first steps in understanding and healing from experiences that have deeply impacted you. I am looking forward to collaboratively working with you as you take these next steps for your growth and well-being.

My experience as a clinician has been about providing client centered care. I have worked with many diverse individuals and groups; and helped to support positive change in a vast number of issues for those I have worked with in treatment. I am a fully Licensed Professional Counselor and am a Certified Advance Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I believe in a client-counselor treatment modality that shares respect, empathy, and realness.

We all experience difficult seasons in our lives. During these times, it is very helpful to have someone willing to listen without judgement. I approach the counseling relationship as a partnership between two people interested in positive growth and change. I am interested in helping you overcome fear and anxiety while setting goals to reach your fullest potential. Since each of us is unique in our background and experience, I am ready to meet you where you are, and walk alongside you in moving toward a healthy and peaceful life.

I have experience working with depression, anxiety, survivors of suicide, grief and loss, anticipatory grief, caregiver stress and burnout, and career counseling.
