"Courage doesn't happen when you have all the answers. It happens when you are ready to face the questions you have been avoiding your whole life." Shannon Alder........ The journey of a thousand miles begins with one single step.... We all face challenges in our lives that can benefit from the guidance of therapy. These times can be an opportunity to expand our thinking and heal our past. I welcome you to begin a better way to connect with yourself and interact with the world around you.
My therapeutic approach begins with meeting you where you are in your journey, whether you are on step 1 or step 801. We will walk together through what may be keeping you from your best self and reaching your goals.
I invite you to find your true voice by being heard with compassion. I bring a personal and professional understanding to the work I do with youth, adults and couples.
Alisa Hilewsky, PsyD, LP, LPC Clinical Psychologist / Partner
I believe that therapy is a cooperative process that requires a strong, safe, trusting relationship between a client and a therapist. I provide a warm, comfortable, and accepting environment in which one can explore a wide range of issues and concerns without the fear of judgment or reproach. I believe that therapy is an important tool for lasting change and, to be most helpful, it should be tailored to a client's individual needs. The ideal client is one who is interested in self-exploration, the possibility of change, and the time neccessary to achieve both.
I have experience working with issues related to depression, anxiety, adjustment concerns, family and interpersonal relationship difficulties, life transition issues, and issues of childhood. I have a history of working with children, adults, and families in a variety of contexts and believe in a cooperative approach to success in therapy.
I believe strongly in the goodness of fit between a client and a therapist. With this in mind, I focus on understanding the specific needs and concerns of each person I work with, doing so in an environment that is welcoming, comfortable, and evokes feelings of safety and acceptance.
Amy Roche, MA, LPC Clinical Therapist
As a certified Compassionate Bereavement Care counselor, I support you during a time that often feels scary, surreal, chaotic and heartbreaking. I help you build the muscle to carry the burden of grief. I remain with you as the reality deepens. I abide with you as the pain softens and you feel more equipped to manage this new way of being. Avoiding difficult feelings increases suffering which impacts health, work and personal relationships. Your feelings are natural so it’s important that they are expressed and validated. I hope that you reach out for support to work with the pain, fear and loneliness. I will meet you with compassion, respect and loving kindness as you mourn your dear one.

It is my belief that the therapeutic relationship is of utmost importance, that is why I strive to connect with my clients hoping they will feel at ease, safe, un-judged and comfortable. I have exprience working with anxiety, depression, low self worth, grief and loss, codependency interpersonal relationship issues, and aging.

Kelly Karpowitsch, LCSW Clinical Social Worker
Life is full of stressors, transitions, and periods of grief that can be hard to navigate on our own. I aim to provide a genuine and supportive environment where you can feel safe to express your feelings and navigate them at your own pace. I believe that our past shapes us and there is value in exploring our childhood and past patterns, but there is also value in focusing on how our thinking now impacts our behavior and our decisions. My hope is that through the therapeutic process you will obtain insight that will result in healing and an ability to navigate life’s ups and downs in a more positive way.
My 12 years of experience in child welfare has prepared me to work with adults, adolescents, and children while providing a trauma-informed approach. I will use multiple therapeutic modalities to ensure that your sessions will be unique to you and your needs.
It is often difficult to reach out and seek support, but we are only able to heal what we are willing to feel.

Cora Haskins, PhD, LPC Clinical Therapist
Making a change in your life can be hard. Therapy is about finding the inner strengths that allow you to become the person you want to be. Whether you are healing from old wounds or looking to write a new future, change is possible. No two people go through this process in the same way, everyone's journey is unique. Please know that you do not have to face your circumstances alone and that you deserve to live a fulfilling and rewarding life. As an interactive and supportive therapist, I would be honored to help you make those changes and realize your your goals.
I believe we are always in relationship with ourselves or those in our life, past current and future. Addressing the issues that arise in these relationships improve the quality of those relationships. Old trauma and loss can be put to rest, beliefs about ourselves and others can become more positive and life will be brighter.
Jordan Triner, MA, LLPC Clinical Therapist
Every adventure begins with a thought. Sometimes that thought is of the destination, other times it is a desire for change. Counseling provides insight and equipment that supports you in your adventure. I meet you where you are, aim to understand you deeply, and ask where it is you want to go. I give you the lead, because you are the expert on your life’s adventure.
I have joined others through their experiences of depression, anxiety, family and relationship issues, and times of adjustment and transition. These can all be difficult terrain to navigate alone. Taking this first step into counseling shows the motivation that takes you wherever you want to go. I work with youth, teens, and adults of any background. I believe everyone has their own unique life experience, and their journey with counseling should be specific to them.
I will bring a warm welcome, a safe environment, and plenty of tools to help along the way. If you think counseling is a part of your next adventure in life, I would love to join you. Your packing list is short: just bring yourself.

The stressors and challenges we face in our lives are not universal, but that does not mean we have to face them alone. My approach emphasizes meeting clients where they are, in whatever stage or walk of life while offering an empathetic, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where clients are sure to feel heard. There are no “one size fits all” solution methods when it comes to discovering how we may best move forward for ourselves and our goals. I am here to help you navigate these changes so that you may reach through with a better understanding and relationship with yourself in order to promote balance, development, and empowerment.
I utilize cognitive based approaches and client-centered counseling techniques to address a variety of issues including anxiety, academics, ADHD, coping mechanisms, depression, peer relationships, personal growth, self-esteem, self-harm, stress management, and trauma. I use integrative approaches with various treatment modalities along with mindfulness to help clients achieve a better sense of awareness and presence in their own lives.
In addition to providing therapy, I have several years of experience in case management and working with individuals who have intellectual and developmental disabilities. I have worked in the school setting as a School Social Worker developing 504 Plans and Individualized Education Plans and excel at advocating for the academic, emotional, and cognitive needs of those I serve.
