Hailey Carroll, LMSW, specializes in working with teens and adults who experience symptoms of ADHD, those who have experienced trauma, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. I have extensive experience working with children and adults with Autism, as well as working to support their parents/caregivers. I work to support couples (monogamous + polyamorous) who may be navigating relational concerns, seeking improvement in their relationship, or are seeking therapy as a means of maintaining a healthy relationship and growing their support of each other; improving communication skills, facilitating mediation, and working to identify and set mutual goals.

Angeliki Trifonopoulos has experience supporting young adults facing challenges related to academic stress, adjustment, depression, and anxiety. Her specialty areas include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), expressive arts therapy, mood and anxiety disorders, eating disorders, and medical trauma. Angeliki's counseling philosophy centers around meeting clients where they are, using a holistic and culturally sensitive approach. She is passionate about honoring the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—and tailoring the counseling process to each individual’s unique background and needs. Through a collaborative and compassionate relationship, she strives to help clients reconnect with their strengths, gain insight, and build the tools needed to move toward a life that feels more empowered, fulfilling, and meaningful.

Our Treatment Focus

Our focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. We achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan.

We work closely with Psychiatric Nurse Practioners to ensure a client has access to medication management, if needed.

We promise to be there for you every step of your journey. Our goal is to help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be in your life.

Our Therapy

Depression & Anxiety

Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Through counseling and treatment, we are able to help you recover motivation, perspective, and joy that you once had in your life.

Marital Counseling

Marriage counseling aims to give couples the tools they need to understand each other and resolve conflicts. While couples often turn to relationship counseling during turmoil, it’s beneficial at any relationship stage. Marriage counselors can help couples with issues such as:

Resolving financial disputes
Learning how to communicate in a relationship
Improving conflict resolution
Identifying and addressing issues affecting the relationship
Working on trust issues in a relationship
Recapturing the spark or building intimacy
Overcoming infidelity in a relationship
Addressing disagreements about parenting styles
Saving a marriage to avoid divorce
Finding a healthy way to end a relationship

Solution-focused therapy: This counseling style helps couples find solutions to specific problems or disputes. The couples will set and work towards relationship goals.

Trauma & PTSD

Child Counseling

As part of the initial assessment, a qualified mental health professional or child and adolescent psychiatrist will determine the need for psychotherapy. This decision will be based on such things as the child's current problems, history, level of development, ability to cooperate with treatment, and what interventions are most likely to help with the presenting concerns. Psychotherapy is often used in combination with other treatments (medication, behavior management, or work with the school). The relationship that develops between the therapist and the patient is very important. The child or adolescent must feel comfortable, safe, and understood. This type of trusting environment makes it much easier for the child to express his/her thoughts and feelings and to use the therapy in a helpful way.

Psychotherapy helps children and adolescents in a variety of ways. They receive emotional support, resolve conflicts with people, understand feelings and problems, and try out new solutions to old problems. Goals for therapy may be specific (change in behavior, improved relations with friends or family), or more general (less anxiety, better self-esteem). The length of psychotherapy depends on the complexity and severity of problems. Ages 5- teenage years.

Biofeedback

Biofeedback is a mind-body therapy that can improve physical and mental health. During a biofeedback session, a practitioner will use painless sensors to measure certain bodily functions. You will see the results on a screen, then test ways to change the results.

Criminal Justice

Forensic social work is the application of social work to questions and issues relating to law and legal systems. This specialty of the social work profession goes far beyond clinics and psychiatric hospitals for criminal defendants being evaluated and treated on issues of competency and responsibility.
