Genevieve Harris-Eckel
B.S., M.A., LMFT, MBA (2024)
I have experience working with minority communities including working with women, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ clients. Minority groups, and couples, particularly those at the intersections of gender, race, and sexual orientation, are often underrepresented in fields of work such as business, tech, and entrepreneurship. I believe therapy can and should be a safe and non-judgmental space that empowers individuals to be able to push their own limits and views of themselves, in all aspects of their personal and professional lives. Being able to embrace oneself and each other is one of the strongest things a person can learn to do.
Women, people of color, and queer and trans people are often told by society that they don’t fit it, and in our work together we can help you to feel as though you do fit. I believe, you can embrace yourself and push yourself without having to succumb to society’s views of your assigned roles, in your professional life, and within your relationships.
Until we learn to actually love everything about ourselves, especially the parts of us other people have said we should change, we’re susceptible to everything. Once you love everything about yourself, nothing can hurt you. I’m here to help you through that journey, and teach you how to embrace your own inner strength, and overcome any barrier you’re facing.

Nathalie Harris-Eckel
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I work with individuals and couples, and I specialize in: Grief, loss, anxiety, trauma, Marital/Relationship issues, Personal Growth, Communication, Adjustment challenges, women’s issues, LGBTQIA+ community, work and life transitions.
At one time or another, we all find ourselves stuck and struggling to move ahead. We have learned to cope and move through our lives using tools and coping mechanisms that have worked in some ways, but have not allowed us to feel grounded, comfortable, or fully happy with our lives as we progress through them. My job is to work collaboratively with you to create safety and trust through which we can help you develop skills and gain insights, allowing you to reclaim happiness and comfort in your life. I am most passionate about supporting people dealing with Anxiety, Grief, and Life Transition issues.
My approach uses evidence-based practices of Emotion Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Family Systems Therapy, combined with humor, self-attunement, and somatic awareness. The therapeutic alliance between us is essential to your success and is a key component of us working collaboratively together. Working together, let’s delve into the challenges that have brought you into therapy, the strengths and resources we can uncover within you, and discover new possibilities for your life going forward.

Lucia Perasso Blackwell
Pre-Licensed Professional, LMHC-A, SUDP-T
I specialize in working with adults who are struggling to cope with the pressures of life: work, relationships, family, parenting, grief/loss, and cultural/systemic issues. We all struggle at times, and this can leave us feeling depleted and isolated. We might panic and turn to self-sabotaging thoughts and behaviors. Many of us have deeply held beliefs from childhood that impact how we see ourselves, and how we cope with stress as adults. My aim is to help you uncover these old beliefs so you understand yourself in a different light. Together we can create more choices about how to move forward. I offer individual sessions to explore current stressors, process family of origin or relational trauma, and assess underlying mental health or substance use issues. I bring a strong understanding of trauma and attachment theory to our work, and enjoy integrating somatic (body-based) skills, mindfulness, and breathwork to build resilience to stress.

Lucy Entenman
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LICSW, LCSW
Have you been feeling lost, overwhelmed, or out of control lately? Is there a voice in your head telling you you are not good enough and can’t handle what life has to bring? Good therapy gives us a space where we can safely talk about our hopes and fears while we lay down a strong foundation from which we can build our future dreams. I believe in everyone’s ability to heal themselves and would love to partner with you on your journey of self discovery. I have worked with teens, adults, and seniors struggling with multiple challenges. My goal is to make you feel safe and supported, so that you can explore and connect your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a productive manner. There is no shame in seeking support. There is no shame in wanting a better life for yourself. There is certainly no shame in seeking happiness. I am here to encourage and let you know that you can find peace and happiness. Let’s go!

Kelsey Zettle
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LCSW (she, her)
Feeling depressed and unmotivated? Anxious and plagued by ruminating thoughts? Feeling hopeless about your ability to improve? We will work together to establish concrete goals for your treatment, address external barriers and cognitive distortions halting progress, and build skills to manage your distress. My goal is to support you and provide more directive services, as needed, to help you attain your ideal level of functioning and most authentic self! I specialize in individual and group therapy, utilizing frameworks like CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and more. As a social worker, I also specialize in utilization of frameworks that look at the “big picture,” specifically biopsychosocial influences and other systems (societal/cultural, etc.) of oppression. I believe that all people have the capability to heal and ease their suffering, and it’s likely that you simply have not yet had the right support or skills to do so. In session, I will support you with a blend of empathy, guidance, and skill building. I’d love to connect to see if I am what you’re needing in a clinician as you begin this change!
Kelsey Zettle’s specialties: Mood disorders, personality disorders, anxiety, and depression

Terry Edwards
Licensed Social Worker (he, him)
With 16 years of experience in the mental health field, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of individuals, including children, teens, families, veterans, and adults of all ages. My work has primarily focused on supporting clients in achieving stability and positive outcomes in areas such as home life, community engagement, and education. I am passionate about helping individuals move forward toward their desired goals, using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as my core therapeutic approach. In addition, I integrate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support clients dealing with personality disorders, particularly borderline personality disorder, emotional dysregulation, and various psychiatric conditions. My goal is to help those in my care achieve emotional regulation, reduce the intensity of stressors, and improve self-esteem and overall well-being. I am committed to creating a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. Through DBT, I emphasize mindfulness, understanding the consequences of actions, and helping clients analyze patterns in their behavior. I work with individuals across the lifespan, from childhood through older adulthood, ensuring that everyone has access to quality care. Because I believe that moving forward is always a better alternative than being held back by life’s challenges.
