Kayla Sweet, LPC
“I personally work with clients ages 13 and up to navigate queer issues, relationship stress, anxiety, and depression. I utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with clients to create an individualized approach for treatment.”
Ty’Keyana Mickles, LPC
“I’ve worked with teens and adults who are navigating the ups and downs of life—whether it’s battling the blues, managing stress and anxiety, working through anger, boosting self-esteem, or untangling tricky relationships.
My approach? It’s all about meeting you where you are while also empowering you to take those meaningful steps toward the life you envision. I believe we’re all doing the best we can, and with a little guidance, change is always within reach.”
Ashley Bonnette (she/faer), LPC

Some of my areas of expertise are trauma, cluster b diagnoses, gender identity exploration, grief, and dual diagnoses.“
Nick Benenhaley (she/they), LPC
“Over the last couple of years, I have found my calling working with trauma, personality disorders, neurodivergency, and the LGBTQ+ community. As a queer and neurodivergent person myself, I like to create a space of acceptance, empathy, and provide a space for exploration and education as well.”

I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and trauma therapies, with a focus on severe symptoms such as suicidal thoughts, self-harm, and dissociation. As a queer, gender fluid person myself, I support clients of all sexual orientations and gender identities. I enjoy providing BIPOC, kink, polyamorous, and sex work communities a place to feel seen, heard, and respected.”
Emily Boening (she/her), LPCA
“I’ve had experience working with LGBTQIA+ folx, women and women-allied humans, couples and poly systems, college students, and adults with ADHD.
I am, as they say, eclectic. I utilize concepts from ACT, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), solution-focused (SFBT), family systems, narrative, and feminist therapies, just to name a few. I believe that everyone is deserving of a big, beautiful life. I hope to join you as you build yours.”
