Welcome to The Counseling Collective

About Amy

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work with women across all stages of life who are navigating a wide range of emotional, relational, and life concerns. My work centers on supporting women through anxiety, self-esteem challenges, mood concerns, relationship stress, identity shifts, caregiving roles, and major life transitions.

I have a particular clinical focus in perinatal mental health, supporting women through pregnancy and postpartum adjustment, anxiety and mood concerns, fertility challenges, pregnancy and infant loss, birth trauma, and the emotional and identity changes that can accompany becoming a mother.

While perinatal mental health is an important focus of my practice, I also work extensively with women experiencing stress, anxiety, identity concerns, relationship challenges, grief, caregiving, and life transitions throughout adulthood. You do not need to be pregnant, postpartum, or a parent for us to be a good fit.

Many of the women I work with are used to carrying a great deal for others while quietly feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or stuck in survival mode. Often, they are longing for steadiness, self-trust, and a stronger sense of internal grounding. My focus is helping clients move toward greater clarity, emotional resilience, and stability in their daily lives—so that growth extends beyond the therapy space and into relationships, parenting, work, and self-care.

My approach to therapy is warm, steady, and collaborative. Clients often describe feeling a sense of relief in being able to slow down, speak freely, and not have to hold everything together. I strive to create a space that feels approachable and supportive.

With several years of clinical experience, I bring compassion, authenticity, and steadiness to my work while maintaining a grounded professional foundation. I have extensive training in trauma-informed and attachment-based approaches, which allows us to not only understand long-standing emotional patterns, but also begin to process and shift them in meaningful ways. My goal is to offer both support and thoughtful challenge as clients develop greater understanding, flexibility, and confidence in navigating their lives.

I honor each client’s unique journey and believe therapy should feel tailored to your needs, strengths, and season of life. My work is integrative and may incorporate a blend of evidence-based, trauma-informed, and experiential approaches, including:

• Brainspotting
• Parts-Informed Therapy
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Mindfulness-Based Interventions
• Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) principles

My work is also informed by additional training in trauma-focused approaches, allowing me to draw from a range of strategies based on each client’s individual needs and goals.

My practice provides outpatient psychotherapy. At times, a client’s needs may call for additional support such as psychiatric evaluation, medication management, crisis services, or a higher level of care. When that occurs, I help clients identify and connect with appropriate resources while remaining thoughtful about continuity of care whenever possible.

You deserve a space where you feel supported, understood, and respected. Reaching out for help can feel difficult, but you do not have to navigate everything alone. My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you can reconnect with yourself, feel more grounded in your life, and move toward a way of living that feels more sustainable and aligned with who you are.

About Miranda

With over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, I specialize in working with adolescent girls (16+) and women. I take a holistic, trauma-informed approach that goes beyond symptom management—helping clients understand root causes, build self-awareness, and tap into their own capacity for healing.

Connection is at the heart of my work, and I approach the therapeutic relationship with authenticity, empathy, and gentle guidance. Many of the women I work with describe feeling overwhelmed, stuck in familiar patterns, or unsure why certain challenges keep repeating despite their best efforts. You may be new to therapy, continuing progress you’ve already made, or ready to explore deeper emotional work. Wherever you are in your journey, my goal is to create a space where you feel truly seen, understood, and supported.

As a Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional (CIMHP), I support both mind and body by blending evidence-based therapy, mindfulness, and integrative practices. Together, we’ll explore concerns such as stress, trauma, self-doubt, relationship dynamics, and major life transitions, while developing practical coping strategies, self-care tools, self-compassion, emotion regulation skills, and deeper insight—at a pace that feels right for you. You remain the leader of your therapy, and no approach is introduced unless you feel comfortable with it.

Outside the therapy room, I’m grounded by nature, movement, and ongoing self-reflection. I believe healing can happen at any age when we allow ourselves to slow down, truly listen inward, and create space for our growth—and I’m honored to walk alongside women as they do just that.

Therapy is personalized and may draw from a blend of evidence-based and holistic approaches, including:

• Brainspotting
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• DBT-Informed Skills & Strategies
• Parts Work (IFS-Informed)
• Trauma-Focused Therapy
• Mindfulness-Based Approaches
• Somatic & Nervous System Regulation Approaches
• Nutrition & Mental Health Integration
• Attachment-Informed Therapy
• Strengths-Based & Person-Centered Therapy

About Kaelee

Many people carry the weight of self-doubt, shame, and disconnection from their authentic selves. My work at Changing Tides Counseling, LLC focuses on helping clients quiet the inner critic, cultivate self-compassion, and rebuild confidence and wholeness. I believe therapy should go beyond coping; it should be a safe, supportive space to be fully understood, develop practical tools, and grow into a life that feels more grounded, empowered, and true to who you are.

I work with adults and adolescents (10+) navigating a wide range of challenges, with particular focus on trauma recovery, stress and life transitions, anxiety and perfectionism, self-esteem and identity concerns, grief, relationship challenges, and LGBTQIA+ support. My goal is to meet clients wherever they are in their journey, helping them move toward healing and greater self-connection.

My practice integrates several trauma-informed and evidence-based approaches to support whole-person healing: Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialetical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma Focused-CBT, Mindfulness, Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), and other person-centered approaches. The heart of my work is helping clients develop self-compassion and embrace their full humanity.

You may occasionally be joined in session by my Italian Greyhound, Joey, whose gentle presence adds warmth to the therapy space. Many clients find his quiet companionship grounding and comforting.

About Melissa

Are you ready to build your best life—one rooted in growth, resilience, and genuine connection? I’m a multi-specialized, evidence-based therapist with over 20 years of experience helping individuals navigate complex emotional challenges, including borderline personality disorder (BPD), trauma, OCD, and issues related to overcontrol and perfectionism.

I offer Comprehensive DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), trained intensively through Marsha Linehan and her Behavioral Tech Institute, and Radically Open DBT (RO-DBT) with direct training from its developer, Tom Lynch. I also integrate other leading approaches, tailoring care to each person’s unique needs.

I work with young adults, adults, and older adults, offering both individual and group sessions, in-person or via secure telehealth. My approach is grounded in genuine empathy, nonjudgmental acceptance, and flexible commitment to your healing journey.

For clients who desire it, I thoughtfully integrate faith and spirituality into the therapeutic process, honoring your personal relationship with God as a resource for healing, strength, and deeper meaning.

My dog Stewart—a sweet, anxious photo bomber—often joins sessions and brings his own comforting presence.

Outside of session, I enjoy reading about world cultures and traveling globally. It’s my joy and honor to walk alongside clients as they reconnect with purpose, peace, and the life they want to live.
