Our Community Our Focus
Depression & Anxiety
Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Through counseling and treatment, we are able to help you recover motivation, perspective, and joy that you once had in your life.
Trauma & PTSD
Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger post traumatic events. Trauma can also manifest as negative behavior in children. Nationally certified trauma therapists are available to assist with the effects of physical or sexual abuse, loss, and other forms of trauma.

Therapy is more than meetings on a schedule. It is a journey to empowerment. Along the way, the therapeutic process helps consumers to develop their self-confidence and self-esteem, while learning healthy and critical skills such as good communication, positive social skills and healthy boundaries. As a Qualified Mental Health Professional, I use researched and evidence-based treatments to implement my eclectic approach with consumers who may struggle with anxiety, depression, Bipolar and Borderline Personality Disorder or PTSD. Many times clients struggle with being heard and understood, particularly those with Autism or other developmental disabilities and delays. Using a Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach, I work diligently to be that compassionate listening ear, as I provide services for children, teens, and adults. Services are available in individual, couple, family, and group format. Both in office and HIPAA-compliant Telehealth sessions are available to meet the individual’s scheduling needs.

Hungry-Hungry-Hopkins
This is a monthly program to help those in our community, in need of food, by making bagged lunches to support and feed local homeless residents. This program runs on the 3rd Saturday of each month between 10 am and 12 noon until all the lunches are gone. Lunches are served in the back of the building and are 1 per person on a first come served basis.
Autism Group
The effects of months of quarantine and isolation have contributed to increased negative mood and behavior, increased depressive symptoms, and increased parenting challenges with consumers on the Autism Spectrum. Due to limited in-person interaction, it has become increasingly difficult for students on the Autism Spectrum to practice important social and independent living skills. Call or email today to sign your middle or high school student up for our Autism Group.
Free Community Counseling Clinic
Along with the almost daily rise in job loss and homelessness, the need for mental health care increases. The TLC Free Counseling Clinic provides consumers with an opportunity to receive these critical services and to care for their mental and emotional health. Call or email for more information about how to sign up for this service. Space is limited.
