My approach to counseling centers around meeting my clients where they are and assisting them in achieving their mental and emotional well-being objectives. I emphasize our shared humanity, acknowledging that each individual has unique needs. I draw from a variety of therapeutic techniques to provide personalized care that aligns with my clients' situations. My commitment to their growth leads me to continuously seek further training opportunities.
I specialize in relational dynamics. My approach extends to adults, couples, and individuals in various forms of relationships. I understand the importance of addressing the specific needs and dynamics within these relationships, and offering guidance and support to foster healthier connections and communication.
My mission is to provide a safe, affirming, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for individuals to embark on a journey of self-exploration, healing, and personal growth. I would love to talk with you and see if I'm a good fit for you.

Hey there! My name is Jamie Baston and I am a Licensed Therapist. I have 20 years of experience working with adolescents and young adults.
I believe that meaningful change happens when people feel truly seen, understood, and accepted. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment—and feel supported as you navigate life’s challenges.
I have a special passion for working with adolescents and young adults. These years can be filled with both excitement and uncertainty as you figure out who you are, where you’re headed, and how to manage the pressures that come with growing up. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, overwhelming emotions, relationships, self-esteem, trauma, or life transitions, I am here to help you make sense of what you’re experiencing and find a path forward.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and genuine. I don’t believe therapy is one-size-fits-all. Every person has a unique story, and I enjoy thinking outside the box to find creative and effective ways to help clients connect with themselves, build confidence, and create lasting change.
I often incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into my work because it offers practical tools for managing difficult emotions, navigating relationships, and coping with life’s challenges. Together, we’ll focus not only on understanding what’s happening beneath the surface, but also on developing skills that help you feel more capable and empowered in your everyday life.
I see therapy as a partnership. You are the expert on your life, and I bring curiosity, compassion, and clinical expertise to help guide the process. My hope is that our work together helps you feel more connected to yourself, more confident in your ability to handle challenges, and more able to create a life that feels meaningful and authentic to you.

Margaret (“Mo”) Cross, LPC provides trauma-informed counseling for adults and teens navigating complex trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, dissociation, and relational healing. Her approach is warm, genuine, and grounded in authenticity, helping clients feel understood as they move toward lasting change and deeper connection.
I work with clients who often feel like they have had to survive more than they have been able to live. Many come to therapy carrying complex trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, dissociation, shame, or a deep sense of disconnection from themselves. My role is not to push or fix, but to help create enough safety for honesty, curiosity, and compassion to emerge.
I care deeply about showing up with authenticity, warmth, and genuine connection. My hope is that you feel met by someone who is thoughtful, grounded, and truly present with you in the work.
At the heart of it, I believe healing happens in relationship. I approach this work with reverence and a deep respect for the pace your healing requires.
If you are ready to begin, I would be honored to support you in that process.
Margaret Cross, MA, LPC
Hey! I’m Kaitlyn, a Child and Family Therapist who believes therapy should feel like a safe, welcoming space where you can feel understood, supported, and comfortable being yourself.
Who I work with: Children ages 2 and up, adolescents, young adults, and families
I help with: Anxiety, trauma, big emotions, behavioral challenges, ADHD, autism, self-esteem, family conflict, and life transitions
I believe there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, so I tailor sessions to each child and family’s unique needs. I especially enjoy using play therapy and other trauma-informed approaches to help children express themselves and work through things in ways that feel natural to them. I have completed the training and supervision requirements for the Registered Play Therapist credential and am currently awaiting final approval. I also value partnering with parents and caregivers because you know your child best.
My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you and your child feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged while building confidence, coping skills, emotional regulation, and stronger relationships.
And when I’m not working, you can usually find me hiking, spending time with friends and family, attending a music festival, or hanging out with my sweet dog!

Hi Philip Rush here!
Counseling is actually my 2nd career, I.T. Support was my 1st. People came to see me feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or in grief because of tech issues. Two issues were going on: One was technical, the other was emotional. One needed repair, the other needed relief. So, I addressed the person and their emotions first and then their I.T. issues. I spent hours sitting with people, fixing their tech and giving space for their emotions and I loved it! These were my first steps into becoming a therapist. Now I work in Emotional Support and instead of addressing hardware and software, I get to address brainware and heartware.
I see myself as a guide, honored to join you and your loved ones on your journey. My goal is to be a source of relief in your wilderness, supporting and cheering you on as you find restoration.
I work to build a secure and safe connection. We address the practical and mental health needs required to help you achieve those goals. We discuss the tools and resources you need to continue your journey long after our sessions. Let’s travel together in this season! Reach out today to schedule a session and we can do a free consultation video call.
