Molly Girard (She/Her), ATR, LPC

I believe that therapy is a leap of faith taken to explore ourselves, where we’ve been, where we are, and where we hope to go.This step into the unknown can be scary- even terrifying-but I feel that through open communication and exploration, these steps can become powerful, moving, and exciting. Through my practices I strive to create a safe and accepting space for all clients. I pull from my own lived experiences in order to connect and empathize with my clients and create a connection that will hopefully lead to insight, growth, and meaningful change.

Theo Forrester (He/Him), MA, ATR-BC

Let's be real: being a person is hard. That's an easy enough fact to acknowledge, but the truly difficult part is deciding when and where to put your vulnerabilities on display. While committing to the therapeutic process can feel unpredictable and is not without its messy bits, taking a step towards prioritizing yourself and your wellbeing is an act of incredible courage and a firm declaration of self-worth. I aim to bring authenticity, compassion, and humor to my interactions with all clients, and I would feel honored to hold space for you as you do the important work of self-discovery.

Kim Fairley (She/Her), MA

Sometimes you never really understand the impact of the things we experience in this lifetime until you are on the receiving end of life on it's own terms. My goal and desire is to sit in the same room and listen to those around me that have experienced those things in life that bring us to our knees. I want to sit with people who may or may not understand the power they hold in their lives to grow into something beautiful. I want to hold space for the person who comes to the realization that life is to be lived now.
