About Us

kadie@rocktowncounseling.com

My work focuses primarily on children, adolescents, parents, and families. In my 10+ years of experience I have worked with at-risk youth, individuals with development disabilities, those who have experienced trauma, and families desiring to develop a deeper attachment. Individual goals range from coping strategies for anxiety/depression, trauma treatment, attachment parenting, and increasing self-esteem. My work began in 2005 working with individuals with developmental disabilities in Community Mental Health. Since 2009 I have focused on working with at-risk children, youth, families. My training includes Attachment: Circle of Security Informed Therapy, EMDR, Animal Assisted Therapy, work with LGBT populations, and Residency Supervisor. In my own life, I’ve experienced support through the therapeutic process. I desire to offer insight, kindness, and needed skills to children, adolescents and families who are struggling with their own experiences. My passion lies in helping children and families learn to form healthy and secure relationships.

Each of us is writing a story with our lives, and like any story we are incomplete without knowing our past and having an idea for our future. I believe counseling is a powerful support that can allows us to overcome hurdles, meet new goals, and live the life we want to live. I enjoy working with people who extend compassionate curiosity to themselves to better understand their life in every aspect. I strive to create a consistent and safe space that allows everyone to be themselves and work through the things that make their life difficult.

Hello! My name is Mary, and I am a resident in counseling here at Rocktown Counseling. While I am open to consulting with anyone who's looking for a therapist, I especially love working with children, teens, and young adults. I have a special place in my heart for those who struggle with depression and anxiety, and also like to work with those having difficulty with new changes in their lives. I offer a range of options for therapy, as I like to pull techniques from multiple therapeutic approaches and tailor them to the client's needs.

Some of my most widely-used techniques are incorporating play, art, cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and person-centered therapy into my sessions. I am a big proponent of making counseling as comfortable a process as possible for the client.

Having gone to therapy myself, I know it can be difficult to put yourself out there and express hardships and emotions that maybe otherwise would have been bottled up. If you or your child are in need of an outlet for any of the difficulties in life, I am here to help build trust, skills, and healthy coping strategies. Please don't hesitate to reach out!

Treatment Approaches

  • Acceptance and Commitment (ACT)

  • Art Therapy

Life can be challenging. Whether we’re falling apart, experiencing minor setbacks or even doing relatively well, it can be really helpful to have someone to talk to. I hold a strong conviction that there is no issue too big or small to justify seeing a therapist.

I provide a confidential space in which you’ll receive unconditional support and validation - things we all need, but don’t always get. I have extensive experience providing treatment for anxiety, grief, and trauma to individuals, in addition to the issues listed on the side of this page. I love to work with adults of all ages.

Don’t hesitate to contact me. I provide initial consultations free of charge, and a consultation is not a commitment to anything formal. Additionally, I'm an advocate for making therapy affordable, and will negotiate fees that compliment your financial situation. I look forward to meeting you!

There is so much strength and courage in reaching out for help. My goal as a counselor is to provide mental health services to work towards improving your quality of life by making therapy feel more like a conversation than an interrogation and finding things that work best for you on your therapeutic journey. I work with adults with a variety of mental health concerns, such as anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, and substance use disorders. I am also an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community.

I specialize in humanistic/person-centered therapy and motivational interviewing, and I love to utilize different skills and concepts from other therapy types too to tailor a therapeutic experience that's right for you. I even love trying out-of-the-box concepts, such as using Dungeons and Dragons!

You know yourself and your needs better than anyone else does. I'd love to try to bring some clarity, balance, and peace into your life. Please reach out with any questions and/or to set up an appointment.

I understand that it takes considerable courage to ask for help, particularly when it comes to mental health and the stigma surrounding therapy. This means I am deeply committed to making the counseling experience as gentle and meaningful as possible for all my clients. I believe in the power of community and that the relationship between the client and counselor is an extremely important part of the healing process. It’s a privilege and a priority for me to be worthy of the trust of my clients; my goal is to offer people a judgment-free space that feels safe and genuine. I provide counseling in Spanish and English and work primarily from a person-centered approach. I have a particular interest in providing multiculturally competent and trauma-informed care that considers the needs of a person as a whole.

Hello :) I am Melissa (she/her/hers). I shifted to counseling, from working in construction, as I'm drawn to working alongside individuals as they navigate life experiences. Perhaps you're navigating a life change or experiencing friction in a relationship. Counseling is an opportunity to explore life difficulties and learn supportive skills.  I believe everyone may benefit from counseling as every individual has worth and value. I take a person centered approach when working with clients and strive to create a safe, empathic and trusting relationship with every individual I have the privilege of working with. I will work with you in a collaborative way to help make sure our time together meets your goals for counseling.
