Mark Nesbit, M.A., LPC, LMFT

We all fall in many ways. We sometimes need a hand to help us back up and get on our way. As an experienced professional counselor and marriage & family therapist, I welcome the opportunity to be that hand that helps you get back up. I provide a safe, comfortable place where you can come to discuss your personal struggles and potential solutions that will work best for you. I hope that everyone I meet – individuals, couples, and families – will gain better control over the issues that our modern lives bring: to help build stronger and more fulfilling relationships, to have more successful personal and work lives, and to enjoy better positive mental health and well-being.

Maddie McAnally, M.A., LPC-Associate

I approach counseling with the intention that you feel heard and validated. I will meet you where you are and encourage you throughout the healing process. We will celebrate progress together, and when approaching struggles, I will give you tools to challenge your fears and thinking patterns, helping you to heal in your own time. I love to see people grow and gain confidence in themselves throughout their counseling journey!

Lauren Burkhalter, M.A., LPC-Associate

I am passionate about helping others navigate times of transition or difficulty in their lives. You are not alone, and you will never be met with judgment or criticism in my office. I respect where you’re at, and want to help you get to where you’re going – even if you don’t know where that final destination is. My goal is to instill hope in each of my clients, and I strive to make our sessions a safe, comfortable place where nothing is off limits. Ultimately, counseling sessions are a place just for you – a place of self-exploration, hard work, joyful realizations, and the practice field for life outside of the office.
