Dave Holabeck, MA, Registered Psychotherapist
Life can be hard. Sure there are seasons of smooth sailing and calm waters but sometimes we can find ourselves sinking in a boat full of holes in the middle of a storm. It is in times like these where we need not be alone, we need a fellow journeyer, a listening ear, a helping hand, a creative solution.LEARN MORE
Trish Holabeck, MA, Registered Psychotherapist
I am passionate about journeying alongside people while offering a warm and comforting space. I believe in the healing power that comes from sharing your story with someone who genuinely cares and desires to understand you.LEARN MORE
Kate Ivey, MA, LPC, CACII
The pressures of living in our society today can be overwhelming with social media 24/7, excessive commitments and overscheduling, and intense mixed messages about how to achieve a sense of self-worth. I offer a welcoming, non-judgmental place to shed those “shoulds” you keep hearing about who you need to be, and be accepted for all that you are.LEARN MORE
Amy Vann, Intern of Counseling
I believe each human life is valuable and we were created for companionship and at times we all need an unbiased and objective perspective, validation for our pain, and/or encouragement to continue the journey.LEARN MORE
Jillian Jackson, MA, Registered Psychotherapist
It is my joy and deepest desire to walk alongside teens and women who underneath it all feel alone, lost, or empty. People who may put a brave face on but at the end of the day don’t know who they are, why they struggle, or how it is ever going to get better. I offer a fresh perspective and a place of refuge away from the chaos of life.LEARN MORE
