Alexis Hahs, M.A. SUDP LMHCA

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHCA), Substance Use Disorder Professional (SUDP), and hold a Master’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling. My clinical experience includes serving as a Lead Counselor within a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and as a Program Director for an inpatient treatment center, where I developed a passion for providing compassionate, high-quality care while supporting clinical excellence.

My counseling approach is solution-focused and informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS), blending practical strategies with a deep respect for each person’s unique experiences. I am especially passionate about working with individuals who have experienced significant trauma and appreciate a direct, honest, and collaborative therapeutic style. I believe healing happens through authenticity, curiosity, and meaningful connection.

My favorite quote, “No mud, no lotus,” reminds us that growth and resilience often emerge from life’s most difficult experiences, and that healing is possible even after profound adversity.

Miranda Rankin, M.A. LMHCA

I am passionate about helping individuals overcome life’s challenges and discover the confidence and skills to create meaningful change. Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, feeling overwhelmed, or simply looking to better understand yourself, I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where you feel heard, valued, and accepted.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and my goal is to meet you where you are while helping you move toward where you want to be. Using evidence-based approaches including Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, I tailor each session to your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll build practical coping skills, challenge unhelpful patterns, and take achievable steps toward lasting growth.

One of the greatest privileges of my work is watching clients recognize their own resilience and discover strengths they may not have realized they already possess. Change isn’t always easy, but you don’t have to navigate it alone.

For clients who desire it, I am happy to integrate Christian faith perspectives into the counseling process, honoring your beliefs as we work together toward healing, growth, and renewed hope. However, I work with people of all faith backgrounds.

Whatever reason has led you to seek therapy, I would be honored to walk alongside you as you pursue greater well-being and the life you want to build.

Benny Halbert, M.A. LMHCA

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate dedicated to helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and relational challenges with clarity and steadiness. My goal is to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and equipped to move forward with confidence.

My approach is collaborative and grounded in evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Written Exposure Therapy (WET). I also bring training in developmental trauma and neuroscience-informed care, helping clients understand how early experiences shape present patterns in thoughts, emotions, and relationships.

I believe healing happens when compassion and structure come together. In therapy, we work to strengthen emotional regulation, build practical coping tools, and increase insight into the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Whether you are facing anxiety, working through trauma, or navigating relational strain, we will move at a pace that feels steady and sustainable.

For clients who desire it, I am comfortable integrating Christian faith into the counseling process. If spirituality is important to you, we can include it thoughtfully. If not, our work will remain rooted in sound clinical care and evidence-based practice. You will be met with dignity and respect either way.

Therapy is not about quick fixes—it is about steady growth, clarity, and meaningful change. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you take your next step.

T.J. Haslett, M.A. LMHCA NCC

I’m T.J., a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate and Nationally Certified Counselor. I specialize in addressing where trauma has left people stuck, supporting deeper healing and regulation, in order to help people break free from patterns that keep them from living fully. With a background in mental health, substance use, and pastoral care, I provide a supportive, collaborative space where individuals and couples can explore challenges, process experiences, and work toward meaningful growth.

My approach is trauma-informed and grounded in helping clients better understand patterns that may be keeping them stuck, while building practical tools for lasting change. I draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), somatic therapies, psychoeducation, trauma-focused care, and Lifespan Integration (Level 2 trained). Together, we’ll work on strengthening emotional regulation, improving relationships, processing past experiences, and navigating current stressors with greater clarity and resilience. For those who desire it, I also offer integration of Christian faith and spiritual principles into the counseling process, honoring each client’s values and beliefs.

Therapy with me isn’t about judgment—it’s about growth, understanding, and hope. We’ll work collaboratively to develop a personalized approach that aligns with your goals and values. No matter where you are in your journey, meaningful change is possible, and I would be honored to walk alongside you as you take your next step.

Jill Karber, M.A. LMHC

I am a Mental Health Counselor committed to helping individuals and couples navigate the challenges of trauma, anxiety, and depression. Over the years, I have walked alongside clients carrying the weight of painful experiences and relational struggles, and I consider it an honor to create a safe and supportive space where healing can begin. My approach is hope-centered, rooted in the belief that no matter how dark the season, growth and restoration are possible.

I believe strongly in the mind-body connection and how stress and trauma can affect us physically, emotionally, and spiritually. In therapy, I work with clients to build awareness of these connections and to discover pathways toward healing and wholeness. As a person of faith, I hold that every individual deserves dignity, compassion, and the opportunity to live with greater freedom and peace.

My training includes trauma-informed approaches such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Lifespan Integration Therapy, which allow clients to process past wounds in a structured and supportive way. Whether you are wrestling with betrayal, struggling in your marriage, coping with anxiety and depression, or carrying grief, I offer practical tools, compassionate care, and a steady presence.

Above all, my heart is to walk with those who feel hopeless and to help them rediscover strength, resilience, and hope. Therapy is not about quick fixes—it’s about creating space for your story, building coping tools, and moving toward lasting change.

I look forward to connecting with you and exploring whether I may be the right fit to support your counseling goals.
