Ashley Lucas, Lead Therapist & Owner LCSW

MY APPROACH—Going to therapy was one of the hardest journeys I have taken in life. Getting over the fear of being judged, labeled, and uncomfortable were the hardest parts. My experience in receiving therapy has given me insight to what it’s like on the other side of the couch and motivated me to provide the best clinical care possible. While the journey may be difficult to start, it is one that will never be in vain. Congratulations on taking your first step.

MY SPECIALTY—My modality is eclectic; however, my approach is tailored to what will work for your unique situation. I take an integrative approach to therapeutic work, utilizing evidenced-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavior, Motivational Interviewing and Solution Focused Therapy. I currently work with adolescents aged 12-17, as well as adults of all ages.

Stefany Peralta-Skelpsa, Therapist RCSWI

MY APPROACH—-I believe everyone can benefit from therapy; it has changed my own life for the better. Seeking support can be difficult, so I congratulate you for taking the first step! I will provide a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your emotions, relationships, and life challenges. My approach to therapy is person-centered and strength-based, as I believe in the inherent worth and resilience of every individual. Together, we will explore your strengths, identify areas of growth, and work towards achieving your goals. I am sensitive to diverse backgrounds, orientations, and identities. I am also bilingual and speak Spanish.

MY SPECIALTY—-Navigating the impact of grief and loss is my specialty. Working through my own bereavement has given me the compassion, patience, and concern needed to walk along the journey with others. Grief can cause a snowball effect of life transitions, which may increase stress, anxiety, depression, etc. However, I work with all trauma-related issues, grief-specific or not.
