Do you feel insecure in relationships, like your emotions are controlling you instead of you controlling them? Are feelings of anxiety, anger or rejection keeping you from healthy connection? If you find yourself repeating the same harmful patterns, or having the same arguments over and over no matter how hard you try, then it’s time for a change! You know you deserve better than what you’re allowing yourself to have, and you’re ready to start creating new patterns in your life, you're just not quite sure how to get it, and that's where I can help.

You're probably here because there is a part of you that knows you were created for more. You were made for deeper connections, more freedom and laughter, a greater sense of purpose and fullness of life. Life is hard. And somewhere along the way we begin relating to ourselves and others from a place of fear and woundedness. We numb ourselves, make ourselves small, and hide the parts that we fear will be rejected. We get stuck in patterns of feeling unlovable, unworthy, afraid, and disconnected from joy. Therapy can help you realign with your true self and find compassion and healing for the parts that feel stuck.

In a world that often values toughness, being a highly sensitive and soft-hearted person can feel like a burden. We might say “yes” when we really mean “no”. And we may feel like we have to act differently to fit in, even if it means putting others before ourselves. Sometimes it can feel tough to find our inner courage, speak up for what we want, and create positive boundaries. This can be especially true when we’re striving for success in our careers, supporting our loved ones emotionally, or navigating big life changes. Through brainspotting, mindfulness, and somatic techniques, we’ll gently uncover the patterns that have kept you feeling stuck and build the self-trust needed to honor your own needs. As you release emotional weight and reconnect with yourself, you’ll cultivate resilience, confidence, and a deeper sense of balance in your life. If you’re ready to embrace your sensitivity, set healthier boundaries, and reconnect with yourself, I’m here to help. Let’s work together to create a life that feels balanced, authentic, and fulfilling. Reach out today to begin your journey toward healing and growth.

Relationships are the most rewarding and often the most difficult parts of our lives. If you're struggling in your romantic relationship, friendships, family or even in your relationship with yourself...you're not alone. Negative thoughts and feelings can keep you from the life you want with the people you love. Counseling can give you the support and encouragement you need to help move forward and find new, better ways to communicate and connect. It can be difficult to know who to trust with the things you're going through. Therapy offers you a confidential, comfortable place to talk about the things in your life that are hard to share with others. Together, we can uncover your strengths and use them to create a plan to give you relief from the uncomfortable place you're in today.

Bottling up or stuffing down emotions can be so overwhelming to teen girls and women, especially in today’s social climate. The people that you love the most are not always equipped to support you in ways that you need and deserve. Social stigma that most people have about therapy can deter you from seeking the help that you need and deserve. I am here to help you navigate the spaces that appear difficult. Therapy helps provide a safe, non judgemental and confidential space to talk about the challenges you would like to process. Whether you have anxiety, depression or low self-esteem, together we will come up with a plan to discover your strengths so you can live your best life. Help me help you, become a better version of yourself. Life is not easy, but it is easier when you have the right help and support.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 7 years of experience in the nursing field. My most recent work at an acute psychiatric mental health hospital allowed me to see the impact of severe mental illness on a person's life. I have a genuine passion for improving mental health in individuals by educating them on how to navigate mental illness in their lives through an effective medication management plan and supportive talk therapy.

I’m Dewanna Lewis, a Licensed Professional Counselor and founder of Therapy With Dewanna, dedicated to supporting young adults as they navigate one of life’s most transformative seasons. College brings growth, independence, and opportunity — but it can also come with stress, identity exploration, academic pressure, and major life transitions. My approach focuses on helping students build emotional resilience, strengthen self-awareness, and develop practical tools that support both personal and academic success. I’m honored to partner with Thriving Camp to help students feel grounded, confident, and equipped to thrive far beyond their college years.

College is supposed to be exciting, full of possibility and growth, but it can also feel overwhelming, lonely, and uncertain in ways no one really prepares you for. The pressure to succeed and have everything figured out, adds up. If you’ve been carrying more than you can hold on your own, you don’t have to keep doing it alone. Reaching out doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. It means you’re human—and you deserve support, understanding, and a space where you can finally exhale.

Christine(Chris) Hjortnaes has worked with College students for several years. She understands the many pressures of being in school, trying to plan for the future, holding down a job, maintaining healthy successful relationships, and raising a family while working towards a degree.

Hi there! I’m Kat, a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate supervised by Lisa Grubbs, Ph.D, LPC-S. As your therapist, I'm here to be your greatest ally and #1 supporter in your journey toward self-discovery and growth. My approach to therapy centers around creating a safe and affirming space where you can be entirely yourself. I believe in the power of authenticity, and I encourage you to take up as much space as you need in our therapy room. Together, we'll navigate the complexities of your experiences with compassion and understanding. I specialize in working with adolescents, adults, Latine/Hispanic folx, and bilingual individuals (English/Spanish). My passion lies in helping clients increase their self-awareness, fostering self-acceptance, and empowering them to identify and meet their needs. In our work together, we'll explore strategies to set healthy boundaries, promoting a more fulfilling and balanced life. I recognize that each person's journey is unique, and I approach therapy with a commitment to meeting you where you are. My collaborative and strengths-based approach emphasizes the importance of building a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust and respect. Outside of the therapy room, you'll find me indulging in my love for horror movies and dad rock, nurturing my ever-growing collection of plants, crocheting, baking, and expressing myself through painting. I also have a black cat named Marvin who always strives to make my days interesting. Therapy is a personal exploration, and I'm here to provide guidance, support, and encouragement as you navigate the path towards a more fulfilling life.

I absolutely love working with young adults. College comes with unique challenges such as navigating the academic, social, and personal challenges that come with this stage of life. Whether you're adjusting to a new environment, managing stress, dealing with relationship concerns, or simply trying to understand yourself better, counseling can provide clarity, support, and practical strategies for growth. It is a confidential, judgement-free space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, learn healthy coping skills, and build resilience.

Do you feel on edge, stuck in your head, or like you can’t fully connect with the people you care about? Maybe your chest tightens in conflict, or you shut down when things get too overwhelming. These are signs your nervous system is in overdrive—and it’s not your fault. Through integrative somatic and creative therapies, I’ll help you tune into your body, calm your system, and feel safer in yourself and your relationships.

Life can move fast and feel heavy. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, lonely, or navigating big changes, it’s easy to lose touch with the version of yourself you long to be. Sometimes, our stories feel invisible. Other times, they rise up, asking us to listen. You are welcome here, just as you are. We believe healing starts with compassion. Instead of pushing through with pressure or self-judgment, we offer a gentler way—one that meets you where you are. Our trauma-informed team is here to support your healing with care, respect, and warmth. Reaching out takes courage.

I strongly believe in the potential of human beings to access their inner resources to create change and empower themselves to have the quality of life they want and they deserve. I am a Spanish/English Bilingual Therapist who works with adults. As an immigrant myself, I understand cross-cultural and acculturation situations that hinder daily life due to immigration processes. Part of my focus as a therapist is to comprehend and work with the nuances of different backgrounds and cultural needs. I have been a hypnotherapist for over 14 years. I have extensive training and experience in Traditional and Ericksonian Hypnosis. I also have training in healing emotional wounds through regressive techniques. I truly believe hypnosis is a magnificent technique to help clients reach out their inner resources, create change and empower themselves.
