OUR STAR TEAM

  • Kathryn Raley, NCC, LPC, RPT-S, ACS

    I am a counselor specializing in working with children of all ages! My work focuses on empowering children, tweens, and teens by fostering healthy emotional regulation and family relationships. I am passionate about thinking of the need for mental health, not as an emergency or as a crisis only occasion, but as a rational way of living a well-rounded, healthy life.

    “Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity. “-Carl Jung

  • Maggie Daggett, LPCC

    I am a counselor who specializes in working with children, adolescents, and adults. My work centers around the unique characteristics and experiences of each individual. We are all different in our own ways and I want to empower clients to learn to love all parts of themselves.

    “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken”-Oscar Wilde

    “When we learn to listen to all of our parts, we can find new solutions to old problems.” – Richard Schwartz
