KYLE PARMELEE, LCSW

Therapist, Co-Owner

For as far back as I can remember, I have always had a healthy fascination with the brain and mental health. No matter what Tom Cruise says, mental health is real and requires proper health care. Counseling shouldn't be our last line of defense against inexplicable or hidden suffering, I believe it should be our first. Did you know seeing a therapist is considered normal and healthy in many countries across Europe and South America? No judgment or stigma here.

A bit of my history: I found myself magnetized to the realm of counseling after a handful of years working with chronic mental health disorders in hospital and residential settings. I also had the pleasure of working abroad, volunteering my services internationally in Africa and India. In the therapy room, I enjoy bringing a hard working, blue-collar style, Cognitive-Behavioral approach to addressing symptoms. Together we will develop a practical, uncomplicated treatment plan designed for the individual (with a dash of humor mixed in for taste).

Academically, I completed my BA at DePaul University and went on to finish graduate school for my MA at Dominican University, completing both with academic honors. My clinical specialties include Anxiety Disorders, Mood Disorders, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, Personality Disorders, LGBT support, Psychotic Disorders and Grief/Loss. Sorry folks, I don't do couples therapy. If I cannot help you, I will do what I can to point you in the right direction.

KATHERINE HENOCH, LCPC

Therapist, Co-Owner

As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor I work with adults and adolescents facing a variety of challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, relationship issues, and identity exploration. My approach is based on honoring each person's individual strengths and vulnerabilities.

Through empathy and authenticity, I strive to create a therapeutic relationship which promotes self-reflection, healing, and the growth of new possibilities. I work with individuals to set personal goals, build self-confidence, and develop new coping skills which work for them.

Mindfulness is one approach I use for helping with anxiety and other intense emotions. Additionally, I value creative and artistic forms of expression as an avenue for developing self-awareness and processing deep emotions.

I earned my BA in Biology from Carleton College and my MA in Counseling Psychology from Northwestern University. My work and volunteer history ranges from caring for injured wildlife to teaching ESL to adults, and served as formative experience prior to entering the counseling field.
