Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who earned a Bachelor’s of Social Work from Eastern Mennonite University and a Master’s of Social Work from the University of Southern California.

I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults who have experienced complex trauma, including those in traditional foster care placements and independent living placements. I have foundational training in EMDR and TF-CBT to support this trauma work. I also also appreciate working with adults who are in transitional life phases and are looking to break intergenerational cycles.

One special practice area I engage in is work with children and adolescents who have sexual trauma as well as those who have sexual behavior problems.

Additionally, I offer running therapy. Running Therapy combines running coaching and talk therapy. First developed by Dr. Kostrubala in the 1970’s, this model provides an alternative to the office setting and is demonstrated to augment the benefits of traditional counseling alone for many symptoms including those related to depression and anxiety.

I also enjoy providing supervision to clinicians seeking the LCSW and/or SOTP license.

Outside of providing therapeutic services, I enjoy being outdoors, yoga, crocheting, napping, eating brunch, and spending time with my family, although finding balance in life is an ongoing area of growth as I’m human too!

Hello, I’m Mandi Gray. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I’m passionate about helping children become the best version of themselves. I specialize in supporting young clients who have experienced complex trauma, and I approach each child with compassion, respect, and a deep understanding of their developmental needs.

My clinical foundation is built on extensive training in evidence-based, trauma-informed modalities, including Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT), Theraplay, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Sandtray Therapy. These approaches allow me to tailor each therapeutic experience to meet your child’s unique emotional and developmental needs.

I am committed to creating a safe, supportive environment where children can explore their feelings, process difficult experiences, and learn healthy ways to cope. I believe in the importance of working closely with caregivers and incorporating attachment-focused interventions to support healing and strengthen family connections.

Whether your child is navigating early relational trauma or other adverse experiences, I bring warmth, expertise, and a deep commitment to trauma-informed care. It would be my privilege to support your child on their path to healing and growth.

 Hello! My name is Stefanie Kinzie and I am a Supervisee in Social Work under licensure supervision with Stephanie Hewitt, LCSW. I graduated from the University of Rhode Island with a BA in Writing & Rhetoric in 2013 and a Master of Social Work from the University of Kentucky in 2024. I currently hold licenses from the VA Board of Counseling and the VA Board of Psychology as a SOTP Trainee.

I have worked in a wide range of clinical settings, including community mental health crisis services and addiction and recovery treatment clinics, and palliative medicine, where I have extensive experience serving clients engaging in high risk behaviors, substance use disorders, grief and loss issues, and other major life transitions.

I currently am accepting new adolescent and adult clients who are struggling with anxiety and depression, grief and loss, substance use or process addictions, major life transitions, and anger management.

I have foundational training in a range of evidence-based practices, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Marsha Linehan’s Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for working with clients struggling to gain control over mental health symptoms and high-risk behaviors, Motivational interviewing (MI), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solutions-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT).

When not counseling clients, I enjoy playing a friendly game of pickleball, journaling and writing, and playing trivia and strategy games with family and friends.

Hello! I’m Stephanie, a graduate student in the Counseling and Art Therapy program at Southwestern College, working under the supervision of Stephanie D. Hewitt. In 2015, I earned a BA in Studio Art with a minor in Art Therapy from Mercyhurst College. I am currently pursuing my master’s degree, working towards licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and certification as a Registered Art Therapist (ATR).

I believe we are relational beings, and that the connection built in therapy can support clients in consciously creating the life they want. My approach is person-centered and strength-based, honoring clients’ unique experiences and helping them tap into their inner strengths. I take a holistic view, supporting growth in mind, body, and spirit, and I tailor each session to each client’s needs.

Art therapy is a powerful way to explore thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and I incorporate it into sessions as appropriate. No prior art experience is needed, and the focus is on the process rather than the product. This creative approach provides fresh ways to understand oneself and foster meaningful change.

My work is grounded in social justice and an awareness of how societal and relational dynamics impact wellbeing. I strive to create a supportive and affirming space for clients of diverse backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ and relationship-diverse individuals.

Beyond my work in counseling, I enjoy practicing yoga, hooping, visiting the dog park with my poodle, participating in community singing, creating art, and spending time with friends and family.

Alycia joins the team as the Clinical Administrative Assistant. She brings experience in small business administration, and will be helping with many behind-the-scenes aspects of the Practice to allow clinicians to focus their energy on client sessions.

Outside of work, Alycia loves spending time in nature with her family and dog, and can often be found on the sidelines cheering for her children at their games.
