Tramesha Fox M.Ed., LPC-Associate
I have a B.S in Chemistry and many years in the Oil & Gas industry. My second degree is a Masters in Counseling. I lean more to cognitive behavioral therapy with a solution focused approach. I enjoy working with adolescents and the LGBTQ+ community. My personal interests include reading and crafting things. My greatest strength as a therapist is life experience. I think this gives me a unique perspective enabling me to empathize deeply with clients. I believe the most important thing a client needs is to know they are not alone and there is hope. The most exciting thing about therapy is the feeling of the "ahh ha!" moment. When we realize that over coming problems means we are on our way to a healthier life.

Erin Dennis MS-CMHC, LPC-Associate
I come from a background of working with youths with Autism and other developmental disorders. I chose to take my passion for working with others and turned it into a career. I completed my bachelors of science in Psychology (2016) and my masters of science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (2020) from Wright State University in Fairborn Ohio. My clinical experience includes working with youths aged 7-18 in various settings including day treatment, juvenile justice, individual, group, and family therapy. My therapy style consists of an eclectic approach including person centered, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness. I believe that an individual is the master of their own life and can find a sense of self-actualization that can lead to growth and fulfillment. I have a passion for helping youths and young adults experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, and emotional regulation. I enjoy spending time with my family, hiking, music, and reading.
