No matter how hard you try, you find yourself two weeks behind on your progress notes. Then, when you sit down to write, you aren’t sure how to make your session billable. You procrastinate until the anxiety of not getting your assessments done on time gives you a headache. You’ve got two treatment plans to create and one in the queue and can’t imagine how you’re going to finish them and meet production numbers.
Has it been so long that you’ve done laundry you’re down to your last pair of clean socks? You’ve been so emotionally exhausted that you haven’t cooked a healthy meal in weeks and the drive through cashier at your local McDonald’s has your name and order memorized.
Hi, I’m Kim. I help Associate and Licensed Therapists ditch stress, self-doubt and poor self-care – and embrace a new way of being a therapist by finding balance and joy in the career you worked so hard to have. I will help you discover ways to have space for the joy and satisfaction that comes with being a therapist – so you remember the reason you became a therapist in the first place.
Jill Drenth
Clinical Supervisor
Being rundown and burnt out, has made you discouraged about your future. You doubt if you’ll achieve success and satisfaction working in community mental health and enjoy a full and happy life.
Hello! I’m Jill. I know what you’re going through because I’ve been there. I’m a recovering burnt out, self-neglecting therapist. I don’t want you to stay stuck in that ‘burnout life’ as long as I did. Let me hold space for you to decompress and get the support you need to level-up your clinical skills and restore your well-being. Imagine how it will fee to hold space for clients, provide quality care — and have room for yourself, your family and clinical growth. The career and life you planned is possible. Let’s work together to get you there.

Denise Brady
Clinical Supervisor
I wonder if this rings a bell — you’re in a session, your client makes a statement and you’re like “I have no idea what to do or say next.” You wish you could phone a friend. But that seems a little unprofessional, so you wing it until the session is over.
Do the letters BBS make your eye twitch? 😉 I get it. Making heads or tails of BBS rules and documentation requirements can easily put you in a tailspin because — it’s just a LOT.
Do you fall in the paperwork procrastination trap? You know you need to complete your documentation, but the thought of doing it makes your head spin, so you put it off. And you keep putting it off until it’s been 2 weeks, you’ve seen 35 clients and you have ZERO notes completed.
Are you looking forward to the day when you find the right balance between seeing clients, completing your documentation and taking care of yourself? It can seem like that day will never come, believe me I’ve been there. So I can honestly say, the day is closer than you think. I can show you the way.
Hi, my name is Denise!
When I was an associate, I faced all of the issues above and then some. That’s what makes me so passionate about helping associate therapists like you. I’ll show you how to develop a bag of interventions that you can tweak and tailor to fit a variety of therapeutic situations.
I can also help you break down complicated interventions and topics like boundary setting and thought stopping so your clients understand and use the interventions you teach them when needed.
I’m dedicated to helping associates alleviate the stress that comes with the 'administrative' part of therapy by sharing time and organizational skills so all your paperwork will be up to date.
Brittany Oliver

I can help you unpack the toxic, emotional stuff and replace it with happiness, emotional comfort and joy. Together we can rebuild parts of your life, piece by piece, until it looks like the life you’ve always wanted to live.
Jessica Jimenez

Perhaps, you’ve experienced trauma and no matter how hard you try to put it behind you — it keeps showing-up and causing problems. It makes you a super worrier, your feelings get so strong and overwhelming you burst with anger at the people you love.

Maria Vogel
THERAPIST
It’s tricky to get help because your life looks great on the surface. You look like you have it all together– great career, beautiful family. But deep inside, you’re scared and in pain.
Perhaps you can’t sleep and it’s causing problems at work or school. Or you have ZERO patience for your partner or child. It can get so bad that you feel like you’re just one argument away from leaving it all behind.
Maybe there is a child in your life who is struggling. Kids suffer from bad relationships and experiences too. It just looks different. Their friends start changing – or they don’t have any friends at all. They pop-off about any and everything. Grades go from As to Fs and they don’t care. If you have a kiddo or know one who needs help getting past hard times. I can help them too.
Hi, I’m Maria. Let me help you work through difficult things that have happened in your past, so they can stop stealing your future. I’ll provide a safe, judgment-free zone for you to unload the hard parts of life. Together we’ll reshape how you show up in the world and create a life you’re excited to live.
Joseph Hamilton
THERAPIST
Do you feel STUCK making the same few mistakes over and over on a loop, like getting into unhealthy relationships, putting yourself last, or ignoring your partner or mental health?
After each time, you swear it won’t happen again — but it does. This is out of character and it’s not who you want to be. But you don’t know why you started acting this way and you can’t figure out how to stop.
Maybe you have a teen in your life who has big emotions that they can’t keep under control. It’s causing problems with “errbody” including you. The frustrating part is you can’t get them off their phone long enough to figure out what’s going on.
Did you bring the unhealthy family dynamics from your childhood into your adulthood? A lot of us do and it’s hard to shake, especially when “momma-and-them” are around. To make it worse, when you tell them the drama needs to stop, they blame you.
Life and relationships are hard, but there are ways to make it easier, I can show you how.
Hi, my name is Joseph! I can relate to feeling stuck and confused about how to move forward and do things differently. The person you want to become is within reach! I’d love to help you get there.
Kama Richetta
THERAPIST
Are you ready to find freedom from the negative chatter in your head? You know the kind — it’s on a constant loop saying you aren’t good enough for that partner or that you shouldn’t start your own business because you’re just going to fail.
Do you need a place to talk about how tough it is being a mixed-raced person? Because if one more person asks “so, what are you, where are you from” (when what they really mean is “why do you look the way you do “), you’re going to scream?
Has someone special in your life died, and even though everyone says “they’re in a better place” and that you should be over it by now, you’re not.
You deserve to have freedom from the anxiety, sadness and grief that come with living this thing we call life. Together we can make that happen.
Hi, my name is Kama! I work with adults and teens who are tired of making unhealthy decisions and missing out on blessings because of overwhelming emotions.
In my sessions I create a light-hearted, safe place where clients feel comfortable kicking back and being real. A place where you can address and resolve what’s holding you back from living an amazing life.
Therapy is a
journey that
allows you
to understand
yourself so you
relate better
to others.
There is nothing more important than feeling happy, at peace and present to enjoy life with the people who mean the world to you. Achieving this can be tough.
WE CAN HELP!
