Welcome to Works
Counseling Center
Come as you are. All of you.
Scared. Trauma Ridden. Fat. Queer. Straight. Neurodivergent. Leaders. Athletes. Artists. Nerds. Parents. Professionals who hold it together all day and fall apart at night. People who are loud, soft, unsure, confident, exhausted, hopeful, or somewhere in between.
You are welcome here.
- We don't do one-size-fits-all therapy.
- We don't do shame.
- We don't believe you need to be "fixed."
Our Therapy Services
Our multidisciplinary team of therapists brings specialized expertise across a wide range of mental health needs. Whatever you're carrying, there is a space for it here.
Anxiety
Evidence-based tools — CBT, ACT, ERP — to quiet the spiral and help you move through the world with less fear.
Trauma Therapy
Trauma-informed care that moves at your pace. Healing old wounds without forcing you to relive them.
Depression
Practical, compassionate support to help you reconnect with yourself and find pathways back to meaning.
Couples Counseling
Communication, reconnection, and repair — for couples navigating conflict, distance, or major transitions.
OCD
Specialized ERP-based treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder — one of the most misunderstood conditions.

Compassionate care for disordered eating, body image struggles, and the complex emotions around food.

Children communicate through play. Our therapists meet them where they are — in their language.
Grief
Grief has no timeline and no script. We sit with you in it, and help you carry it in a way you can live with.
Chronic Pain & Illness
When your body is the struggle, your mental health still matters. Therapy that integrates the whole picture.
Kink & Sex Positive Therapy
Non-judgmental space for sexuality, kink, polyamory, and relationship structures outside the mainstream.
Diverse Families
Therapy for blended, adoptive, foster, and non-traditional family structures — in all the complexity they carry.
Anger Management
Anger is information. We help you understand it, regulate it, and express it in ways that don't cost you everything.
Bipolar Disorder
Specialized support for managing the highs, the lows, and everything in between with structure and understanding.
Behavioral Concerns
For children and teens — addressing behavioral patterns that interfere with school, home, and relationships.
Emotional Support Animal (ESA)
We provide ESA letters for clients whose treatment includes an emotional support animal as part of their care plan.
Addiction
Compassionate support for breaking cycles of dependency — without shame, without judgment, with real tools.

Meet The Leadership Team
At Works, our leadership team is built on a shared commitment to our core values. While we don't all think the same — and that's exactly the point. Our leadership team is made up of different personalities, perspectives, and strengths.
Some of us are quirky, some are Type A, some are process-oriented — but together, our differences create balance, creativity, and clarity. Each leader brings a unique skill set to the table, allowing us to challenge one another, grow together, and make thoughtful decisions that move Works forward.
By combining our individual strengths with a shared purpose, we've built a leadership team that is deeply connected, highly collaborative, and committed to creating the best possible environment for both our clinicians and clients.
