Shawna Hedquist

MA, LMHC, NCC

My goal is to create an atmosphere of acceptance where you can find the hope and healing you desire. I take the time to get to know my clients as individuals to understand their basic needs, desires, and strengths so that they can receive the appropriate support they have been longing for.

My approach combines compassion, empathy, and humor to promote an environment where together, we can identify your goals and work through the concerns you present.

You have already taken the first steps towards healing. When people feel safe, they will find the healing and joy they deserve. I would be happy to be your guide and provide support, perspective, and insight as you walk your journey through courage, vulnerability, and healing.

Kahle Elliot

People seek therapy for many different reasons. Whether it is exploring difficulties from childhood or current life stressors, being curious about our behaviors and emotions can help us cultivate authenticity and increased self-compassion. Traumatic experiences can greatly shape the way we view the world and ourselves, and leave us feeling “stuck”. I enjoy working with individuals seeking guidance in healing from and understanding these experiences to help them lead the lives they desire.

I work with my clients to provide a non-judgmental, empathetic environment to cultivate growth and change. With compassion and humor, I will meet you where you are and guide treatment specific to your strengths, needs and goals. I use a trauma-informed approach, incorporating CBT, DBT, mindfulness and gratitude to assist individuals in their healing journey.

Katherine Blaine

M.Ed, LMHC

In my work, I utilize a person centered approach. I look to create an environment of hope and healing. This allows people to show up as a human without fear of judgment. With where I am in my career, I hope to bring a new perspective and help them on their path to recovery.

The start to recovery starts with reaching out for help. You have already done the hardest part. I hope to create the sense of safety and security to help you process through your emotions and find the healing you deserve.
