I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LCPC) in Idaho, as well as Nationally Certified Counselor, and I also hold the Graduate Certificate in Addiction Studies. I have been a counselor for 12 years in different settings, such as community agencies of different kind, as well as my own practice. Prior to becoming a counselor, I was an adult educator and worked for colleges and business schools. As an educator, I was passionate about motivating each student to find an individual “life’s path” and to use education as a tool. As a counselor, I am passionate about my clients learning about themselves through the discovery of individual strengths and unique abilities to take on the life’s journey. In each session, I strive to encourage my clients to find something about themselves they haven’t noticed before. Depending on my clients’ needs, I use many techniques, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused and many others, but educate on these techniques in the process to help my clients “become their own counselors” and build their own “arsenal” of tools. My counseling style is fluid – I meet my clients “where they are”; at the same time, I have been told by my clients that each session with me gave them different perspective and empowered them to approach life’s problems with unexpected solutions! I am looking forward to meeting and getting to know you!

Hello, my name is Lowell Wallace and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I earned my Master's degree in Social Work in 2013 and went on to earn my LCSW in 2017. I have expertise in working with individuals and families with co-occurring substance abuse and other counseling issues. I also have expertise in providing counseling to individuals with mood and anxiety disorders, relationship issues, family conflict, trauma, ADHD, and much more. I utilize a client-centered approach and realize clients are the experts on their own lives. I work collaboratively with my clients in setting and reaching their goals that will ultimately benefit their lives. Some of my most used clinical approaches are cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. I enjoy these approaches because it allows me to help my clients gain insight into their core beliefs and how these translate into their thoughts and ultimately their behavior. I believe everyone has inherent strengths and abilities to face and overcome adversity and become more empowered and all they need is some assistance to realize their solution lies within themselves. I truly enjoy working with others and assisting them in becoming better version of themselves.

Hello, and welcome to my virtual office! I would first like to acknowledge your strength and courage in taking this step toward making your mental health and wellness a priority. To tell you a bit about my background, I am a licensed therapist in FL, MA, OR, WA, and NH with over 10 years experience working with a variety of populations as I have strived to assist clients on their journey toward hope, growth, and healing. I am also well-versed in providing teletherapy services,. I would describe my style as laid back and conversational in nature. I view therapy as a collaborative partnership, in which the therapeutic alliance sets the foundation for successful outcomes. As an integrated therapist, I reject a “one size fits all” approach. I draw from various modalities as necessitated by the presenting issue, and believe that techniques should be tailored to individualized needs. I seek to minimize “labeling,” and strive to make a genuine human connection with clients as they share their unique worldview and experiences. Ultimately, I believe it is the client who is the expert of his or her own life. It is my goal to provide an empathetic space where clients feel safe and empowered to be their authentic selves and live in their truth. I look forward to working with you, and believe that together, we can foster positive change in your life.

I am Leeann Mickel, I have a masters degree in educational psychology with an emphasis on community counseling. I have my LPC, licensed professional counselor Masters level. I also have an LC DC licensed chemical dependency counselor. I have worked 20 + years in the field of service. I have had great success with clients who have experienced significant trauma. I have been Clinical Supervisor for a substance abuse residential setting. I am currently Clinical Director for the agency with whom I am employed at this time. I believe it to be my mission helping and serving. My approach is client centered we start where you are. I am very laid-back and personable, I have forever been told how easy it is to talk to me, even prior to my chosen career! That’s a plus when you’re a therapist! I have some clients who simply need an ear and guidance. Others are eager to get to the cause of what prompted them to reach out. Either is great. I understand that some people need to vent and receive professional advice. I tell all of my clients you have inside you now everything you need to heal and progress. My job is to guide you on the journey in this process of self discovery and healing. I also tell my clients that I will work just as hard as you in doing this, but I will never work harder. This would cause more harm by handicapping them if others around never allow my clients to learn through experience, and rob my client of demonstrating to themselves the opportunity to see how capable they actually are. I have worked with many populations: adolescents, adults with variety of disorders/conditions. Such as mental health diagnosis like depression, bi polar, anxiety, and PTSD. For the last six years I have led our adolescent program. I'm very familiar with self harming behaviors, and have a knack of being able to reach them and slowly process into self love. I also have extensive experience with grief which may look different and feel different among different clients. Even those who believe that have mourned and grieved, but truly have not. I look forward to working with you and helping you along your specific path. My schedule is very flexible, as a I only work from home, virtually/remote. During therapy it will be common to give 'experiments' following a session. The purpose for this is taking from our sessions and applying what you learn to your 'real life' outside of one session weekly for an hour.

Integrated holistic healing is not unidimensional, nor could it be. The concept of integrated healing is one which encompasses the whole. That being the mind, body and spirit of an individual. As an integrated health coach and mental health counselor, this is not simply my job, but my calling and deepest passion. Helping guide individuals who seek a deeper understanding of their inherent sense of wholeness, freedom and liveliness. As a former collegiate athlete, personal trainer, and integrated health coach, responsibility and overcoming adversity have become essential characteristics towards my way of being. These experiences matched with the teachings found at Naropa University allow me to bring forth an alternative approach to mental health counseling. I would love to hear from you. I currently have openings and am exhilarated by the opportunity to work with men, adolescents, and teenagers wanting to improve their mental health. We will work towards seeking greater clarity, fostering awareness, and shifting maladaptive behaviors and ideologies.

Hello, my name is Joel Polk, and I am a Florida-based Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with nearly a decade of professional experience. I support adults navigating stress and anxiety, depression, and a wide range of life, relationship, and identity-related challenges. I work with clients on concerns related to self-esteem, self-love, communication, motivation, and confidence, as well as relationship and family difficulties, including caregiver stress and fatherhood-related concerns. I also provide affirming support for LGBTQ+ individuals, including concerns related to sexuality and gender dysphoria. My professional background includes experience in both telehealth and structured clinical environments, which has helped shape a calm, grounded, and thoughtful approach to therapy. Through this work, I developed strong skills in emotional regulation, pattern recognition, and clear communication, and I help clients manage anxiety, panic symptoms, control-related concerns, attachment patterns, and feelings of isolation or loneliness with greater clarity and stability. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and goal-oriented. I primarily draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused practices to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, build practical coping strategies, and create meaningful, achievable change. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to support you in exploring life purpose, personal values, and meaning while developing tools that align with your goals. When relevant, I am comfortable addressing spiritual, faith-based, or existential concerns in a way that respects each client’s beliefs and worldview. I work with adults and young adults facing issues related to relationships, family conflict, substance use, self-harm behaviors, workplace and financial stress, and the emotional impact of prejudice or discrimination. Whether you are seeking support around anxiety or panic attacks, navigating men’s issues, adjusting to adulthood, or integrating personal beliefs into your healing process, we will work together at a pace that feels right for you. Reaching out for support takes courage, and I’m glad you’re here.

I work with adults, teens, individuals, and couples who want practical tools for creating lasting change. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, sleep difficulties, relationship stress, autism, chronic pain, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to help you improve emotional balance, attention, communication, and overall quality of life. My approach is collaborative, educational, and practical. Together we'll explore what's happening now, understand the patterns that may be contributing to it, and develop skills you can continue using long after therapy ends. I enjoy helping people discover not only insight, but also concrete strategies they can apply in everyday life. For individuals, I often integrate mindfulness, neuroscience, and optional brain-based tools, including biofeedback, to help strengthen attention, emotional regulation, and resilience. These approaches can complement counseling by giving you opportunities to practice self-regulation both during and between sessions. Many clients report improvements in stress, attention, or sleep as they consistently practice these skills, and the benefits often build over time as the techniques become more natural. For couples, our work usually begins with improving communication and the overall quality of the relationship. I frequently draw from the Gottman Method, an evidence-based approach that focuses on strengthening friendship, trust, emotional connection, conflict management, and reducing destructive interaction patterns such as contempt. My goal is to help couples better understand one another, communicate more effectively, and build a healthier relationship together. Before becoming a counselor, I completed my undergraduate studies in Communication, which gave me an early appreciation for how people connect, misunderstand one another, and build healthy relationships. During graduate school and afterward, I received training and supervision in couples therapy from a former President of the Minnesota Board of Marriage and Family Therapy, as well as another member of the Board. My primary supervisor was also a founding board member of the Center for Sexual Health and Healing at the University of Minnesota. Over time, he trusted me with referrals, allowing me to continue developing my work with couples while also maintaining a long-standing practice with individual clients. I have more than 16 years of clinical experience and have taught attention and self-regulation skills through organizations including the University of Minnesota Medical Center, the Minnesota Council for the Gifted and Talented, and the Learning Disabilities Association of Minnesota. I also developed a biofeedback training program that was used within a large Minnesota health system. I frequently work with people experiencing: * ADHD and attention challenges * Anxiety and panic * Depression * Trauma and chronic stress * Autism spectrum conditions * Sleep difficulties * Chronic health and pain conditions * Relationship and communication concerns * Veterans and people working in high-stress professions I also enjoy working with professionals, entrepreneurs, students, healthcare providers, and creative individuals who feel capable but struggle with inconsistent focus, stress, or anxiety. Together we can identify the patterns that are getting in the way and build practical strategies that fit your daily life. My counseling style is practical, supportive, and collaborative. Depending on your goals, sessions may focus on open conversation, structured exercises, mindfulness, CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), somatic approaches, or neuroscience-informed strategies. When appropriate, I may also recommend educational resources or optional assessments to help us better understand your attention, stress, communication, or personality patterns. Many clients appreciate having both meaningful conversations and practical tools they can use between sessions. My goal is not simply to help you feel better while we're talking, but to help you build skills that improve your daily life, strengthen your relationships, and continue serving you long after therapy has ended. If that sounds like the kind of approach you're looking for, I'd be happy to work with you.
