Are you sad or lonely? Maybe it seems like others just don’t get you? Do you give love to others, but don’t seem to receive the same in return? Are you stuck feeling discontented with your life or relationships? We should talk!

I’ll help you break down the barriers that are keeping you from living the life you want while changing your relationships and learning to love yourself.  You will feel things start to make sense for you as you note the significant changes you choose to make and move forward in your life.  More Information about Carolyn…

Donna Livesey, MSW, LCSW

Regardless of the reason for seeking therapy, I view you someone who is not satisfied with how they are reacting to the often complex and contradictory world we live in. I strive to understand your issues in the context of your unique experience rather than a pathological perspective of you having something wrong or being broken.  As odd as it sounds, I want you to look forward to our sessions – as we are working on creating the change you want in your life.  Together, we work through the issues that are troubling you – identifying the the obstacles and figuring out how you want to address them. Although sometimes this means talking about difficult subjects, it is my responsibility to help you feel comfortable and safe to do so. More Information about Donna…

Shayne Adams, MA, LCPC

I am honored by every client who chooses to share their lives with me. Everyone is unique and comes to therapy with their own experiences and responses to life stresses. Deciding to work with a therapist doesn’t mean you are broken or handling things poorly, instead I believe that it simply means that you are choosing to take control of your response to difficulties in your life. Life does not come with a manual and most everyone can benefit from a little guidance in navigating through difficult or disappointing times. I have a particular interest in working with young adults navigating the transition to adulthood, those in creative fields, as well as adults experiencing problems with Asperger’s/ASD or personality disorders.

Erin Johnston, MSW, LCSW

Our sessions should be a positive interaction, even if we are discussing difficult issues. It is my job to make you comfortable and safe so that we can resolve the issues that have brought you to therapy. My style as a clinician is relaxed and I use a collaborative model of therapy, where sessions tend to have a more of a feeling relaxing in my living room versus a traditional doctor/patient relationship. I seek to understand your issues in the context of your unique experience rather than viewing you as having something wrong or being broken. I have a particular interest in working with those in creative fields and therapists seeking therapy or those experiencing problems with Anxiety, Asperger’s or Borderline Personality Disorder.
