KIMBERLY MCELWEE, LCSW

Over the span of my 20+ years in the field, I have come to believe that therapy is most effective when there is a good match between a therapist and a client. It is critical to feel comfortable with a therapist to work on your journey of self-improvement and discovery.
Making the initial decision to enter therapy is not an easy one as it takes courage to reach out and ask for support. With the right relationship between a therapist and client, this process feels less intimidating and more attainable. Kim is trauma certified, specializing in techniques and resources for those suffering from a life changing event.

GLADYS
MARI, LCSW

I am a experienced, practicing LCSW with over 25 years of experience in treating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, grief and life transitions.  My counseling style is client centered where I provide a judgement free zone that offers room for self-growth and goal attainment.  Additionally, I have a multitude of experiences with people of many diverse backgrounds and situations.  Although deciding to enter or re-enter therapy is often a difficult decision, it can be the best decision of your life.  I am a firm believer that people enter therapy when they are using every skill they know to help themselves feel better or help a situation improve and their efforts are met with failure.  Therapy is learning new skills/options so as not to repeat self-defeating patterns.
