What’s Your Story?

The stories we tell about ourselves, our lives, and our relationships matter.

What stories do you carry with you?

As we gradually recover from traumatic events, we can get lost in distorted, painful stories that fuel cycles of shame and self-abandonment.

Let’s work together to help you write, tell, and live more beautiful stories.

Healing takes us deeper than surface level solutions. It requires treatment that involves the mind, body, and spirit.

Welcome! We’re so glad you’re here. Are you seeking:

  • therapy with a highly skilled and kind, non-judgmental provider?

  • clinical training and compassionate, individualized support as you work toward full clinical licensure?

  • required 20 hours of clinical consultation to earn your EMDR certification from the EMDR International Association?

  • research based, interactive, highly engaging trainings for your organization:

    • Trauma Informed Care: General

    • Trauma Informed Care: Legal Professionals

Grab a cup of coffee and explore. There’s a place for you here! 

Offerings

  • Psychotherapy

    Over the years we have learned that therapy can happen anywhere…online, in a park under a tree, the lobby of the courthouse, a homeless shelter, a jail cell, or a beautifully decorated office. The key is an authentic therapeutic relationship, built on trust, respect, and a little bit of magic.

    From individual sessions to groups, we offer a wide range of evidence-based interventions. Treatment plans are individualized, built to meet your specific needs.

  • Beginnings Program

    As someone who was fortunate to have incredible mentors, we KNOW how much of a game changer it is to have someone in your corner.

    You’ll get the one hour/week required for clinical licensure, but it’s embedded within a comprehensive generalist mentoring program we’ve lovingly labeled “Beginnings.” Our unique program follows you from graduation to the date you receive your LCSW or LCPC!

  • Trauma Informed Care Training

    Get up to date on the most current research on the physical, emotional, and spiritual impact of trauma. Learn specific strategies for working with survivors of trauma you can start using immediately.

    Trainings are created by working clinicians, with clinical cases at the heart of all content!

    Whether you are a legal, educational, or clinical mental health professional, we offer science backed, interactive training experiences.

  • EMDR Certification Consultation

    I (Meghan McHaney, DSW, LCSW) began practicing EMDR in 2017, earning my certification in 2020. As a consultant-in-training (CIT) I work closely with an EMDR Consultant with over 20 years of clinical experience. We are am seeking out therapists who are already EMDRIA trained and want to earn their full EMDR certification.

    The upside of working with a CIT, rather than a full consultant: you get TWO clinicians working together to help you be successful, and rates are discounted!

Beginnings

We created the experience we needed at the start of our careers. We remember what it’s like to have a brand new master’s degree in social work or clinical counseling, feeling overwhelmed sitting across from that first client! This is a critical period of your career-don’t go through it alone!

What types of treatment do we offer? What insurances do we accept? Also, what’s the deal with EMDR-is it hype, or the real deal?

We are therapists, and we go to therapy ourselves! We know how overwhelming it can be to sit across from someone and begin a journey like this.

Meet us for a free, no obligation 30-minute consultation and see if we are a good fit. If we’re not right for you, we will provide you with individualized referrals to other talented members of our professional network!
