Meet Our Counselors

Jennifer Burger, MEd, LPC, NCC, CAADC

I utilize a person-centered, trauma-informed approach and also incorporate cognitive-behavioral techniques and systems theory into the therapeutic process.

Emily Kline, LMSW

I consider the relationship between client and therapist one of the most important factors in therapy. As a therapist, my goal is to create a comfortable environment.

Le’Shay Webb, MA, LPC

Counseling is a process in which a counselor and client work together in a professional relationship to resolve concerns or issues that the client is experiencing and chooses to bring to sessions.

Eric Throne, LPC

I enjoy getting to know my clients from the very beginning, in order to focus our counseling work on what best fits each person, family, or couple.

Are you struggling with managing difficult relationships, catching yourself constantly thinking about your past, looking for an EMDR therapist, or just feeling overwhelmed by life? If so, then I would be honored to help!

Roxie Flavin, LMSW

My approach to therapy is rooted in creating a warm, friendly, and welcoming space where clients feel heard, respected, and understood, no matter their story.

I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker who believes that meaningful change happens when people feel safe, understood, and genuinely supported.

I see therapy as a collaborative process where we work together to have a better understanding of your experiences, challenges, and goals. I aim to create a safe and supportive environment where you can speak openly and feel genuinely heard.

Larissa Danz, Counseling Intern

I believe counseling begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and understood. My goal is to create a warm and welcoming space where you can be yourself, talk openly about what you’re experiencing, and feel supported as you work toward the changes you want to make.

With a background that includes animal shelter work, animal control, advocacy, and activism, I bring both professional clinical experience and personal understanding of the realities of working to protect and care for animals to the therapy space.
