Holly Kelly, MS, LPC-MH, NCC, RPT™
I believe that mental health is a crucial element in living a fulfilling and satisfying life. My goal is to create a safe space where clients can feel comfortable sharing their experiences and working through the challenges they face on a daily basis. I take pride in offering a supportive environment, where my clients can learn new skills, explore new perspectives and collaborate to improve their emotional well-being.
My goal is to create a space where you can come as you are, whatever that might look like on any given day. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, behavioral concerns or a traumatic event, I accept you just as you are and I am here for you. I work primarily with children and adolescents, and work closely with parents to help meet your child’s needs.
Alicen Hauck, MS, LPC, NCC, RPT™
Every person deserves a secure, safe space where they can become their most authentic selves. I strive to approach therapy with genuine compassion, warmth, and empathy. I believe that therapy at its core is a creative, non-judgmental space between equals. This creates an environment where you can be yourself and learn to manage the thoughts and emotions getting in your way. I like to incorporate a combination of techniques from Person-Centered, Adlerian, Solution-Focused, Strengths-Based, and Trauma-Focused counseling approaches to fully comprehend your unique experience and how best to help you.
Whether you are struggling with trauma, abuse, depression, anxiety, or stress related to any number of life circumstances, I'd be happy to help you find hope and make progress toward your goals. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Registered Play Therapist™ (RPT™), I'm able to provide individual counseling to adolescents and adults as well as Play Therapy to children ages 3 and up.
We all need help at times. If you're seeking unconditional support and encouragement on your healing journey, I'm here for you. Together, we can work towards a brighter, more fulfilling future.

Kendra Niklason, MA, LPC-MH, NCC, RPT™
I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, teens, and their caregivers who may be experiencing a wide variety of challenges, or are wanting to develop skills to grow and flourish as an individual or a family. I have previously worked in the K-12 school system in which I use my experience to support children in multiple environments, including the school environment. I use a multi-modal approach to therapy, as I believe one size does not always fit all, including Adlerian Play Therapy, Child-Centered Play Therapy, Child-Parent Relationship Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral approaches, Solution Focused Techniques, and Person-Centered therapy.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Registered Play Therapist™ (RPT™), I am equipped to meet needs of clients ages 3-young adulthood and their caregivers as applicable. I provide services in person or via telehealth. I truly believe in the power of a strong therapeutic relationship between client and clinician as the driving force of change. My ultimate goal is to create a safe place for children, adolescents, and teens to nurture their mental health, freely express themselves, grow, and heal.

Krista Groeneweg, MS, LPC, NCC, NCSC, RPT™
I have a heart for helping children, adolescents, and families navigate through difficult life experiences. I have over 17 years of experience as a middle school counselor, coupled with more than a decade of work with children aged 0 to 8 years.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Registered Play Therapist™ (RPT™), I am committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment where children and adolescents can freely explore their thoughts and emotions through play. With a foundation in Adlerian play therapy, Child-centered play therapy, and solution-focused approaches, I tailor each session to meet the unique needs of every client.
I am passionate about fostering growth and healing. Whether working with children, adolescents, teens, or families, I offer a safe space where individuals can feel heard, accepted, and empowered on their journey towards healing. I believe all children can flourish through support and guidance. When children enter the playroom, they can show up just the way they are!
