Our Mission

Guided by our Whole Person Psychotherapy & Wellness Model™, our mission is to provide high-quality, compassionate care that integrates mental, emotional, physical, and lifestyle wellness. We honor the full complexity of each individual and support clients in cultivating balance, resilience, and meaningful change through a collaborative and empowering therapeutic relationship.

Who We Are

We are a team of active, compassionate therapists and nurse practitioners who are down-to-earth, relatable, and genuinely invested in the people we serve. We bring a warm, collaborative style to our work and believe in meeting clients with authenticity, respect, and curiosity. Our clinicians integrate mental health expertise with an understanding of physical wellbeing and lifestyle factors, helping clients feel seen, supported, and empowered throughout their care.

Who We Serve

We serve individuals who are open to a holistic, integrative approach to therapy and motivated to explore the mind–body connection in their healing journey. The clients we work with have a vested interest in making lifestyle changes that support their overall wellbeing and value a collaborative approach that considers the whole person—not just symptoms. Our practice is a great fit for those who want compassionate, whole-person care and are seeking something more expansive than traditional talk therapy alone. If you aren’t sure whether you want to explore this kind of integrative support, we’re always happy to talk through whether our approach feels like the right fit for you. Our goal is to help every client find the therapeutic style that aligns with their needs and readiness for change.

Our Holistic Approach

At Open-Minded Therapy, LCSW, PLLC, our approach is holistic and multidimensional. Because our mind, body, and soul are all intertwined, we think it is important to examine ways we can use these moving parts to promote healing and growth in other areas in our lives.

We offer an integrated, client-centered approach that treats the whole person — mind, body, and spirit. Our care model considers your mental, emotional, functional, spiritual, and social wellness, ensuring that every part of your experience is addressed in a cohesive and compassionate way.

Areas of expertise include the management of depression, anxiety, complex-trauma, substance use disorders, and/or individuals affected by loved ones challenged by addiction. Additionally, we specialize in multicultural and women’s issues, Christian counseling, domestic violence recovery, and LGBTQIA+ affirming care.

Within the practice, we use a combination of interventions (listed below) to break down thoughts and patterns preventing you from viewing life through a clearer lens.

Our therapists provide psychotherapy, and our nurse practitioners diagnose, treat, and help clients manage their physical and mental health concerns.

As part of our Whole Person Psychotherapy & Wellness Model™, you’ll meet with one of our nurse practitioners early in your therapy journey to assess your overall health. This collaboration ensures that any physical factors influencing your mental or emotional well-being are identified early and seamlessly integrated into your personalized care plan.
