Kaila Duke, MS, LMFT
Pronouns: She/Her
Populations: Kids 5-15, Couples, Family, Adults
Modalities: EFT, CBT, Play
Specialties: Anxiety, Depression, Life transitions, Parenting skills, Relational stress, Conflict management, Substance use recovery
As a clinician, I believe relationships are what bring meaning to our lives and shape us as people. As a marriage and family therapist, I work with the couple, family, or individual to recognize and deepen meaningful connections and relationships while increasing awareness of potentially harmful thoughts or behavior patterns in effort to gain insight into things within our control. This approach provides my clients a solid foundation to continue self-learning and progression.
The therapeutic process should be collaborative and led by the client. I work with clients to create a treatment plan tailored to their identified needs and circumstances to encourage self-discovery and growth.
I believe that treating the ‘whole person’ is important in my work with clients and as such, believe that faith and spirituality play a key role in fostering growth and development. Personal growth is grounded or informed in and by the person’s personal beliefs and values.
RACHEL JUNKER, LMHC, CERTIFIED THERAPEUTIC ART COACH
Pronouns: She/her
Populations: Kids, Teens, Young Adults
Modalities: Art therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness based approach, client centered
I believe that everyone starts somewhere and that the hardest step is often the first. As a clinician, I make it my mission to make that first step not so scary and show that therapy can have a life changing impact and can be fun if you are willing to do it. It is never too early or too late to get help, and I believe that each person has their own strengths. I center my approach on the client, finding ways to specially tailor each experience to each individual to find a path to achieving goals. I also love incorporating art into my therapy because it helps express who we are and help guide us in our life’s journey. It’s always a joy to work with my clients and see their progress develop through their creative path.

Specialties: anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, trauma, and sport/performance
As a licensed MHPA my ideal client is one who would like to work with their therapist in partnership. I take a humanistic approach that is client-centered, and client led. One of my specializations are in working with athletes who are individuals with performance goals such as athletic, artistic, or business performance. I help my clients reduce anxiety, improve concentration, learn how to effectively set both short- and long-term goals, increase motivation, build self-esteem and confidence, and improve per and post-performance routines. I have experience working with high-profile professionals to adolescents, but specialize in work with children, young adults, college age adults, people making life changing transitions and professionals. I am passionate about the importance of mental health as the foundation of a healthy life. I know that together we can explore what that may look like for you.
It would be an honor to join with you on your journey of self-discovery and healing.

Specialties: Grief and loss, chronic illness and caregivers
Managing grief, chronic illness, or the demands of caregiving can feel isolating and exhausting. With over 14 years as a social worker in healthcare, I have worked closely with individuals and families navigating the emotional and physical challenges of chronic illness, loss, and caregiving responsibilities. In my practice, I specialize in using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients process difficult emotions, reduce anxiety, and regain a sense of balance.
My background in healthcare has given me deep insight into the complexities that come with managing chronic illness and grief, as well as the unique stress caregivers face. Prior to my life as a social worker I grew up in Latin America and speak Spanish. This experience has shaped my ability to connect with folks from various life paths.
Whether you're dealing with the loss of a loved one, the emotional toll of chronic illness, or the unique stressors that come with being a caregiver, I provide a compassionate and personalized approach to guide you through.
