CLINICAL THERAPIST

Hello, my name is Gary Alston, and I am an LCSW-A therapist specializing in gender affirmation therapy, trauma-focused care, psychotherapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I work with children, adolescents, and adults, providing a safe, supportive, and affirming environment for individuals to explore their identities, heal from past experiences, and build healthier coping skills.

As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, I bring both personal understanding and professional expertise to my work. I recognize the unique challenges, discrimination, and trauma that can come with living authentically, and I am committed to helping clients navigate those experiences with resilience and empowerment.

In addition to my clinical practice, I am also a life coach, supporting individuals in setting meaningful goals, creating balance, and moving toward personal growth and success. My approach blends evidence-based practices with compassion, empowerment, and a deep respect for each client’s unique journey.

Whether you are navigating identity, processing trauma, managing emotions, or seeking direction in life, I am here to walk alongside you with guidance, understanding, and tools for lasting change.

If you’re seeking a therapist who values collaboration, can hold both strength and softness, and will accept you fully while encouraging your growth, then I'd be honored to support you on your journey. My intention is to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and empowered to explore who you are. My approach is rooted in mutual respect, curiosity, and compassion. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, where you remain the expert of your own life, and I’m here to support you in achieving your goals with both encouragement and gentle challenging when needed.

I’m especially passionate about helping people navigate trauma, identity exploration, spiritual questioning, and other difficult or uncomfortable life experiences. My role is to offer a nonjudgmental space where you can process, express, and grow.

I advocate for your needs and honor your truth—walking with you through life’s hardest moments and celebrating your breakthroughs. Together, we can create the life you desire that is grounded in intention, healing, and self-trust.

Hello! I am Eyram Bossiade (pronouns: he/him), a passionate clinical therapist dedicated to providing affirming care, helping you navigate challenges, and supporting your goals. I have experience working with diverse populations including children, teens, adults, families, and groups within outpatient, community, and private practice settings. I am enthusiastic about forming connections with new clients and collaborating with community providers and healthcare professionals to help address your needs. 

I have extensive experience and specializations in trauma-informed care, integrated and complex health management, neurodivergence, and intellectual and developmental disorders and disabilities. I utilize evidence-based models including dialectical behavior therapy, family systems, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy along with other training to provide compassionate assistance. 

I am committed and privileged to offer flexible and accessible care throughout your therapy journey. If you are interested in exploring therapeutic approaches I am less familiar with, I am happy to learn alongside you and incorporate new strategies into your goals or treatment planning as needed. Each of us is unique and I strive to respect and honor any differences to foster the therapeutic process and ensure that you feel affirmed and empowered in your mind, body, and identity.

CLINICAL THERAPIST

Hello, I’m Britt Kartes (they/them), a clinical mental health therapist supporting adolescents and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, identity exploration, and life transitions. Therapy with me is collaborative, paced at your comfort level, and grounded in warmth, honesty, and gentle curiosity.

I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ clients and provide affirming care that honors your identities, relationships, and lived experiences, including the impact of navigating a world that is not always welcoming to queer and gender-diverse people. I am also fluent in American Sign Language and have experience supporting Deaf and Hard of Hearing clients, as well as individuals with multiple marginalized identities.

Coming from a military family, I am familiar with the cultural nuances, transitions, and stressors that can impact service members and their loved ones. I offer supportive, trauma-informed care to military-connected individuals and families, with an understanding of how military life can intersect with identity, relationships, and mental health.

My work integrates evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), attachment-focused therapy, somatic practices, skills-building, and trauma-informed care, all tailored to your unique needs and goals. I especially enjoy working with people who are new to therapy, exploring family dynamics, or seeking to build more sustainable and compassionate coping strategies.

It is a privilege to walk alongside you as you move through healing, growth, and self-discovery. My hope is that you leave sessions feeling more grounded, understood, and empowered to continue your work beyond the therapy space.

CLINICAL THERAPIST

I’m Sarah, an LCMHC-A specializing in compassionate, professional soul care. I use a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach to therapy, guided by a Solution-Focused lens, while incorporating elements of Somatic Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I also have experience with Narrative and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

I tailor each approach to best fit the specific client, as I believe everyone’s story and life journey are unique.

I have years of personal experience that fuel my passion for supporting individuals experiencing emotional distress, and have a heart for those struggling with mental illness, addiction, and individuals who have experienced trauma. I am also passionate about helping children, adolescents, adults, and senior citizens to find hope and encouragement during challenging seasons.

I have experience working with adults and adolescents from diverse cultural backgrounds, with extensive experience working with adolescents in a Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF). I implement a trauma-informed approach with every client.

Your self-awareness and choices are vital to developing self-direction and independence. These techniques help you solve problems using your own strengths. I believe in you.

As a counselor, I aim to facilitate greater self-awareness throughout your life experiences, leading to increased confidence, self-esteem, independence, mental well-being, and the capacity to navigate life's complex challenges effectively.

I am an avid reader and enjoy spending my free time researching, writing, painting, and traveling. I am a Christian woman and incorporate faith into my clients’ sessions only upon the client’s request. I respect the identity of all individuals and believe in coming alongside each client to meet them where they are.
