"I believe mental health is a meaningful journey, and I’m here to help you navigate it with steadiness, support, and compassion."

I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 9 years of experience supporting clients through a wide range of mental health concerns. I specialize in treating mood disorders, anxiety, trauma-related conditions, behavioral challenges, and women’s mental health. My approach combines compassion, evidence-based care, and a focus on helping clients build clarity, confidence, and resilience in their daily lives.

I earned my doctorate in nursing from Walden University and have extensive experience providing individualized care across diverse clinical settings. I integrate psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to support meaningful change.

I believe healing starts with awareness and grows through intentional, supported change. Together, we will explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns with honesty and compassion. My goal is to help you move from surviving to thriving—restoring calm, clarity, and confidence as you navigate life’s challenges.

"I am a trauma‑informed LPC, QMHP‑C who shows up with warmth, steadiness, and genuine care, inviting you into a space where you can slow down, feel truly seen, and make sense of your experiences at a pace that feels safe and human — an approach shaped by years of walking alongside people in moments of transition, vulnerability, and growth. "

I'm Leah Perkins, an LPC, QMHP‑C with experience in community mental health, residential care, and reentry support. I work with adults navigating trauma, overwhelm, and major life transitions, offering a steady, compassionate space where they can reconnect with their strengths, rediscover what’s possible, and move toward a life that feels more grounded, hopeful, and aligned with who they want to be. 

I use trauma‑informed, strengths‑based approaches like EMDR, CBT, and DBT skills to help clients build clarity, resilience, and self‑trust. Together, we move at a pace that feels safe, focusing on grounding, healing old patterns, and creating meaningful shifts that support a more connected, empowered life. 

You deserve a life that feels vibrant, meaningful, and full of possibility. If you’re ready to step into your strength and move toward the future you’ve been hoping for, I’d be honored to walk beside you as you grow, heal, and create the life that feels right for you. 

"My goal in therapy is to help clients cope more effectively with current concerns, process past trauma, and build better relationships. "

My goal is to help clients decrease the negative effects of stress, anxiety, trauma, co-occurring disorders, substance use, and other mental health challenges, while building coping, relationship, and parenting skills. I've worked in domestic violence shelters, on the Drug Court team, in schools and counseling offices, and I believe that individuals are unique with inherent worth. I work to create individualized treatment plans that highlight strengths and meet each client's needs. Approaches may include Adlerian therapy, EMDR, DBT, TRM, expressive art therapy, nCBT, AFFIRM, and PCIT. 

I work to hear and understand your story, and help you recognize your strengths, learn new skills, and challenge thinking or behaviors that are not serving you. I may also help you reprocess and reduce the effects of trauma. A session may include conversation, art or writing activities, body awareness, mindfulness practices, or play. 

Counseling can help you get unstuck. What you're going through, feeling, or thinking right now doesn't have to be forever. Counseling means having support while you explore, learn new skills, use your strengths more effectively, and work toward better relationships. If it feels like we'd be a good match, let's begin by scheduling your first appointment.

"As a PMHNP, I bring empathy, curiosity, and authenticity to every session, meeting you exactly where you are with respect and understanding."

I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 8 years of experience supporting adults and adolescents through challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, and stress. My work focuses on helping clients build emotional balance, strengthen coping skills, and deepen self-understanding. I aim to create a calm, collaborative space where you feel supported, respected, and empowered to move toward lasting change.

I earned my master’s degree in nursing from Simmons University and use evidence-based, integrative approaches tailored to each client’s needs. I draw from supportive therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness-based techniques, and medication management when appropriate.

I know reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and you do not have to navigate this alone. You deserve care that honors your story, your strengths, and the pace that feels right for you. If you are ready to take the next step toward healing, clarity, and meaningful growth, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

"In my career I have learned there is no place for judgment in therapy. In order to build a balanced life, the focus needs to be on building on strengths, making observations, describing the issues, and exploring alternatives."

I'm Gail A. Wright, LCSW, and I have practiced nonjudgmental, evidence-based psychotherapy to guide others in increasing self-awareness and self-acceptance. I work with adults facing life changes, emotional regulation (anxiety and depression), grief and loss, and relationship challenges. I focus on identifying and building strengths, and on observing, describing, and exploring options with curiosity and willingness to test them out. Evidence-based modalities include cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.

I encourage clients to be realistic about self-care and self-awareness, and to be open to exploring coping and grounding skills, as well as alternatives to behavior practices that are not helping them achieve their desired outcomes or goals.

If you are interested in trying new strategies to bring balance to your life, I would be honored to work with you and help you achieve your goals.

Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, depression, identity concerns, or major life transitions. I create a space where you can show up as your full self without hiding, shrinking, or making yourself smaller for others. My goal is to help you find clarity, grounding, and the freedom to breathe again.

If you’re ready to rediscover yourself and move toward the life you truly want, I’m here to walk that path with you. You don’t have to carry everything alone or keep shrinking yourself to make things easier for others. Healing begins with being seen, heard, and accepted as you are.

My work is grounded in creating a supportive, respectful space where clients feel safe to share openly and honestly.

I have a master’s degree in community counseling from Fort Hays State University.

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience in the mental health field.

I work collaboratively with clients to clearly define goals and a supportive environment aimed at achieving sustainable change.

I earned my master’s degree in social work from Portland State University. My clinical approach is client-centered and often grounded in narrative therapy to identify and externalize problems. Through the use of motivational interviewing, stages of change, and cognitive-behavioral modalities, I help clients build a realistic plan to achieve goals.

I understand what it's like to live with personal struggles and try to manage them on your own. Shame, stigma, and societal pressures often prevent people from accepting help. It takes courage and humility to confide in another about our own emotions. I encourage you to schedule an appointment to discuss how we can work together to achieve your goals.
