Crystal Hiner , MA, LPCCS/LICDC-EMDR CERTIFIED, CCTP (certified clinical trauma Professional)
Taking the first step towards contacting a therapist can be intimidating! As we go through life’s ups and downs things happen in our lives that require us to examine which path we want to take. Finding someone to provide support, encouragement, and compassion can enhance life’s journey. What makes the therapeutic relationship so special is having a person to share your thoughts and feelings without judgement. I am committed to making this process easier for you by creating an environment of trust, respect and support so you can learn to cope with what you are currently dealing with in your life.
My professional experience includes working with a variety of individuals dealing with many of life’s struggles including: trauma,depression, anxiety, alcohol and drug addiction, families dealing with addicted loved ones, domestic violence, grief and loss.
I focus on the individual I am treating and their specific needs, but I tend to use EMDR therapuetic techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused , and motivational interviewing therapy to help clients achieve their goals.
Ryan Miller, MA, LPCCS/LICDC
I would invite you to consider the wonderful, unharnessed potential that dwells inside of you. I can teach you how to explore and tap into that, so that eventually I’m obsolete. That’s the task that any ethical therapist sets out to do. Through a trusting, open and thoughtful therapeutic relationship, we can address any number of concerns. Sometimes, it’s just nice to have a nonjudgmental, genuine space to explore your fears, hopes, greatest struggles, and greatest aspirations.
I have 8 years of experience treating chemical dependency and other addictive disorders (I.e., gambling, gaming addiction, sex addiction, etc.) as well as a myriad of family concerns. I’m well versed in treating anxiety, depression, anger, and phase of life issues. I’m trauma-informed and believe in always considering its impact.
At my practice, I want you to look forward to doing the immensely rewarding and explorative work that is therapy. I have a relaxed, calm and humanistic style that I hope you will find to be approachable and conscientious.
Jennifer Dobos, MA, LPC

I believe that a positive therapeutic relationship includes trust, authenticity, and positive outcomes. I hope that in working together, you can build upon your strengths and skills to face life’s difficulties.
I am a licensed professional counselor who uses a collaborative person centered, multiculturally aware approach, and am skilled in working with diverse individuals, couples, and families. I work with the client to implement the best treatment path for each individual, using evidence-based interventions including cognitive-behavioral therapy, crisis counseling, motivational interviewing, strength-based therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy.

I strongly believe that every person can be helped and that every person is capable of making changes in their life. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them recognize issues that are causing distress in their life and help guided them in finding long term solutions to these issues. I strongly believe that it is important to educate my clients about mental health so that they can continue to work on their own long after the treatment process is over. I strive to create a non-judgmental space where everyone is welcome and clients can have the freedom to tell their full story.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor my approach to treatment is to help clients identify the negative thoughts, beliefs, and experiences that are causing them distress and then challenge these thoughts and beliefs. I enjoy helping my clients find better ways of viewing themselves and the world around them, along with giving them the tools and skills to cope with their mental health.
Over the past five years I have helped my clients with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and substance abuse. I have also worked with clients that are part of the LGBTQ+ population. I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness in my practice to help client reach their goals. I look forward to being a part of your journey to recovery and healing.
Katie Miller, MA, LPCC
I believe in advocating for client growth by collaborating with clients to achieve their personal goals. I have a passion for helping clients decide how to best cope with their concerns themselves by self exploration and learning new skills through a holistic approach.
My goal is to provide a confidential, safe and supportive environment for my clients in which they feel empowered to achieve self exploration and overcome personal struggles.I am a LPCC and have 5 years of specializing in substance abuse. I also have experience in treating depression, anxiety, grief, codependency, self-esteem, trauma and ADHD. I provide treatment through an eclectic approach, specifically focusing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.
I’m well suited for working with a variety of mental health and addiction concerns; however, women seeking self-empowerment, autonomy, assertiveness, and want to strengthen self-esteem tend to fit particularly well with my therapeutic style.
Paula Sanford, MA, LPCC-S
Two of my all-time favorite movies are The Wizard of Oz and Wonder Woman. Each film follows characters on perilous journeys heading toward uncertain fates. Dorothy and her companions take on a wicked witch while seeking courage, knowledge, love, and the safety and security of home. They ultimately learn that what they sought was a part of them all along.
In Wonder Woman, Diana must face unimaginable destruction, loss, and sorrow guided only by her mission to do what is right and to help others. Her journey unlocks in her a strength and power she did not know she possessed. I consider it an honor and a privilege to join you on your journey and I seek to help you to unlock YOUR strengths and power as you navigate the past, present, and future!

Life can be unpredictable, exciting, messy, beautiful, overwhelming, dull, and everything else in between. My grandmother would always tell me that “no one was born with an instruction manual for how to be a human,” and I couldn’t agree more.

There is something about drawing with ink that I find a lot of satisfaction in. I enjoy drawing with a pencil as well, but there is just something special about ink. One thing about ink though is that you can’t erase it. If you make a mistake while drawing with a pencil you can use an eraser to remove the error. But if your using ink, well….your pretty much stuck with it. That mark is there and it is not going away.
This fact has brought me plenty of frustration plenty of times, but there is a lot that it has taught me as well.
When you make that mark you have to work with it. You have to figure out a way to turn it into something that makes sense. Something that moves in harmony with the composition as a whole. Now, if you choose to embrace that, if you choose to use that as an opportunity to explore, play, collaborate, and experiment, you may just end up with something that is far more interesting and exciting than anything you had initially envisioned.
As an individual in recovery I have found great comfort in that practice. My journey has taken me many places that I never had any intention of going, and many of those places seemed as though they had no exit. But ultimately I have found that so long as I continue to be a part of my own story, so long as I continue to work on this drawing, things often come together in surprising and exciting ways. I find that even though the picture doesn’t always look the way that I had intended for it to look, that doesn’t mean that the desired affect is not achieved. Sometimes the affect is even more gratifying and valuable than the one I had in mind at the start.
I believe that obstacles are opportunities, that challenges spark creativity, that pain can tap ones potential, and that mistakes can become masterpieces. I am a person in long term recovery with 8 years of experience in helping individuals to see these truths in their story, and to be a part of ones process as they learn to do so is a gift that is sacred in nature. The privilege to walk this portion of your path with you is my deepest honor.
