Allyson Graves, LPC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Board Certified Art Therapist. I completed my master’s degree of Marriage and Family Therapy and Art Therapy at Notre Dame de Namur University in 2017. I work with a variety of issues that include but are not limited to depression, anxiety, self-esteem, grief & loss, mood and personality disorders, trauma and PTSD, and have a specialty working with those with eating disorders. 

I use an existential and humanistic approach to therapy, and pride myself on helping facilitate a safe therapeutic space for clients. I believe that when you establish a sense of safety you can then start moving forward in exploring what it means to be your authentic self, as well as challenge patterns of behaviors that have been ineffective in allowing you to live the life you want. I use methods such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and art therapy in my sessions. We will create and review goals together in each session to ensure that we are helping you move in the direction that you want.

Keith Coleman, LMHC

Philosophy of Care

*Keith is licensed in the state of Florida and Pennsylvania*

In today's society reaching out to a therapist is a great step towards future success. I have worked intensely with anxiety/depression, irregular mood, difficulty sleeping, addictions, relational problems and grief/loss among other issues for the duration of my career. So often we isolate our true selves and potential for the benefit of those around us by hiding behind the proverbial mask, or wearing the superhero cape. This leads to an internal struggle and often to issues in our personal lives along with those who are closest to us.

We all need someone to listen, challenge, and provide encouragement for us to not only improve our quality of life, but stay on the right path. Taking off those masks, and letting down our walls can be painful, yet in turn are the first steps to healing.

I provide a peaceful, non-judgmental demeanor helping to encourage motivation, healthy change, and most importantly a better overall quality of life. I believe in a client-centered approach to therapy, helping to alleviate the fears, and providing the tools needed to healthily facilitate the change you may be looking for.
