Ellen Larabee, MA, LPCC
Owner and Counselor
My therapy style is empathetic, insightful, reflective, humorous and goal-affirming. I have always had a "quirky" sense of humor and I love that I can bring that into session with me. Sometimes being able to laugh or to see the absurdity of life shakes loose the obstacles and anxiety. I use elements from mindfulness, family systems and clinical hypnotherapy. My initial goal is to connect with you and your experiences in your world, ask questions, provide feedback, and use interventions to rebuild and reinforce your sense of self and your place in the universe.

Grace Shade, MA, LPCC
Counselor
My therapy style is attentive, insightful, understanding, warm and empathetic. "I received a master’s degree in Clinical Counseling at Winebrenner Theological Seminary. I use a range of techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy. Clients I see are experiencing difficult life transitions, emotional dysregulation, and relationship difficulties. I love being a therapist because I am able to help support individuals on their journey toward their own life goals."

Tracy Freese, MA, LPCC
Counselor
My therapy style is warm, fun, and sometimes silly, curious, and imaginative. I have an MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University. "I take a creative, strengths-based approach when working with children, providing a safe place for my young clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, wants and needs. I truly enjoy working with children and their caregivers to develop new ways of addressing concerns, and help families create a safe and nurturing atmosphere in their homes."
