Shawndrika Cook, MS, EdS, LPC
I understand that choosing a therapist can be hard, but talking about the issues of what brought you to therapy is even harder. My goal is to make this process simple and easy for you. Our therapists are culturally competent, are here to help you as a teammate, not a judge, and seek to make sure you know that you are not in this alone.

Cassidy is a Licensed Master Social Worker and has experience working with families and individuals in a therapeutic setting. Her goal is to help clients reach their highest potential and to help families live more harmonious and happier lives together. One of the most courageous decisions you will ever make is deciding to heal the soul and protect your future. I would love to know all about the bravery that has led you to search this profile. Together we can journey through life, learning to manage emotions, grow through experiences, and shift perspective.
Ashley C. Barber, Med, LPC
My primary focus is you as a person. I draw from the person-centered counseling approach and use Cognitive Behavioral and Solution-Focused techniques to help you accomplish your goals. Previous to starting my own practice, I worked in program coordination and clinical administration for a local nonprofit but found that I want to focus my whole attention on clients needs. My specific client interests are those in recovery from addiction, depression and anxiety, and the LGBTQIA+ population.
