Our mission is to empower our clients to overcome their challenges and live the life they deserve
The Team
Jen Dees
LMSW, CAADC, ADHD-CCSP
My approach is all about creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you can freely explore your feelings and experiences. Whether you're struggling with substance use or facing mental health issues like ADHD, depression, or anxiety, we'll work together to implement effective strategies to cope and thrive.
​
I'm also LGBTQ+ affirming, which means I understand the unique challenges that can arise in the LGBTQ+ community. I'm here to offer understanding, acceptance, and support as you navigate your journey, ensuring that you feel seen and heard throughout the process.
​
Therapy isn't a one-size-fits-all approach. That's why I tailor my methods to meet your individual needs and goals. Together, we'll focus on your strengths, build resilience, and empower you to make positive changes in your life.
I believe that seeking help is a courageous step, and I'm honored to be a part of your journey toward a happier and more fulfilling life.
I am extremely grateful to be doing this work alongside John and to have the privilege of witnessing the personal growth journeys of my clients.

LMSW, CAADC
I thrive on working with my clients to help them to make positive changes and overcome the fear that usually comes with change. I have seen the way therapy can impact people's lives and witnessing that transition brings me great joy. I feel therapy is a benefit that everyone should take advantage of and that the best way to live life is by seeking personal growth. I would love to help you with escaping drudgery, anxiety, and fear and shifting your life to live with purpose and intent. I am experienced in helping people overcome the grasp of alcohol and drug addiction and start on a healthier path.
