Ashley Brinkmeyer, LMSW
Specialties:
Individuals ages 14-40
LGBTQIA+, ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Trauma (sexual or domestic violence, PTSD), Life Transitions, Relationship Issues, Peer Relationships, School Issues, Self-Esteem, Self-Harm, Suicidal Ideation, Stress, and Grief
About Me:
Whether you are new to therapy or are looking to start again, I am ready to walk alongside you as you work to overcome life's challenges and create the life you envision for yourself. Starting therapy can feel uncomfortable, so I strive to create a safe, accepting, and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where you can feel comfortable being yourself. My practice is strengths-based, empowerment-focused, and trauma-informed. You're the expert of your lived experience. My role is to collaborate with you to create goals and treatment strategies addressing your unique needs.
As a neurodivergent clinician, I am uniquely suited to support individuals with ADHD and also have years of experience supporting survivors of sexual violence and those in the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities. While my specialties include ADHD, depression, anxiety, and trauma, I do not limit my practice to just these areas of concern.
I also frequently support those struggling with stress, self-esteem, identity, life transitions, and relationships. The fact that you are searching for a new therapist shows me you're ready to see something in your life change. I invite you to reach out if you'd like to connect and explore how I might fit into your therapy journey.

Specialties:
All Ages, Teens, Emerging Adults
LGBTQIA+, Self-Esteem, Boundary Work, Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma
About Me:
I am a therapist passionate about creating a safe, affirming space where you can explore your story and begin healing. I specialize in supporting teens and young adults navigating identity, trauma, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based care like CBT, ACT, and mindfulness. T
I believe therapy works best when you can show up exactly as you are—messy, brilliant, surly, questioning, all of it. I specialize in working with LGBTQA+ teens and young adults, especially the neurodivergent folks who've been told they're "too much" or "not enough."
My practice is open and affirming, and my approach is straightforward: I'm here to help you become more authentically yourself, not to sand down your edges or fit you into someone else's mold. What matters most is creating a space where you feel safe enough to explore who you want to grow into.

Katie Roemerman, LMHC, ATR
Specialties:
Adolescents, Young Adults, Adults, and Families
LGBTQIA+, ADHD, ASD, Self-Esteem, Boundary Work, Trauma, Depression
About Me:
I believe therapy is a space for self-discovery, confidence-building, and growth. I blend creative expression and traditional therapeutic approaches to support adolescents, young adults, adults, and families. Together, we’ll explore your strengths, navigate challenges, and co-create solutions that honor your unique journey—whether through art, talk therapy, or a combination of both.
I have a unique set of training in both art therapy and as a mental health counselor. I use art therapy often with the clients I serve as a way to express themselves, find healing, and move toward a path of growth
.
I recognize the impact that family, school, community, and other systems can have on emotional well-being. Alongside helping clients explore their inner experiences, I work to support and advocate for them within the systems that shape their lives. My goal is to empower clients to share their stories, amplify their voices, and become strong self-advocates.

Marissa Stiles, LISW
Specialties:
Children ages 3-10, teens, and adults
Anxiety, depression, emotional and behavioral challenges, Play Therapy, and EMDR
About Me:
As a therapist, one of the essential parts of my work is to provide hope that there is an opportunity for change in everyone's life through positive relationships. I strive to build therapeutic relationships in a safe space for the clients I work with to promote growth and healing. Each child deserves the opportunity to process their challenging experiences in their own unique way, whether through play or verbalizing their experiences, in an empathetic and supportive space.
I have learned through social work that each family and child have strengths that have helped them function and cope with their life experiences. I strive to identify these strengths and methods of coping for each family and child while also building on and teaching new skills to improve a child's functioning in their relationships and environments.
