Jillian Esposito, LCSW, CCS

You feel stuck, and alone. You do not understand your reactions or tendency to withdraw from people. You struggle with feeling safe within relationships. There is so much anxiety, so much fear, so much isolation. You do not even know what life would look like to feel secure in your relationships and be able to sustain long term friendships.

I am Jillian Esposito, and I was you. I feel passionately about helping others heal their traumas (big and small), and help them to be able to feel secure around their chosen and given relationships.

I can help you understand your triggers, heal old wounds, and have better more meaningful interactions in your daily life. If you do not address your childhood trauma, your adult relationships certainly will. Let me help you heal those wounds.

MaryKate Palomino, LCSW

This is not what you imagined your life would be. You stare at your phone at night in between the arguments with your partner and try to muster up the energy to take care of everyone else. You feel invisible, and taken advantage of. You do not feel loved and appreciated.

Nothing you do seems to make a difference. You cannot relate to your partner anymore and you feel yourself drifting further and further away. You’re scared, mad, and lonely. My name is MaryKate Palomino, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am so happy you feel you are in place where you are ready to make some changes, and I would love to help you along the way.

It’s the same thing everyday. Wake up. Get ready for the day. Look over the schedule. Review timelines and travel times in your head to plan how long your tasks will take. You’re tired of simply surviving, of just pushing through to the next things. Let’s make today different than yesterday.

Families; individuals 3+

Jessica Friedhoff, LSW

Life transitions are hard. Parenting is hard, adulting is HARD. You’re struggling with the changes in your life, they may be positive changes, but you feel like you should FEEL better. When does it get better? When will I feel good in this space? One second you’re content and safe and then all of a sudden your life is different and it seems like nobody else around you is struggling the way you do.

My name is Jessica Friedhoff, and together we can work through these difficult life stages. Much of my background is with children and their families and I can understand how being put in a new life role can be overwhelming. Let me help you through this.

I can help you process these struggles and understand the root cause. I can help you feel more secure in your life decisions and more confident in your daily life.

Brandon Dill, LSW

You’re unhappy. You grew up with the idea that you never should expect to be happy, and it’s not working for you anymore. You have no clue what that happy life looks like, but there must be more to life than the constant grind. 

I am Brandon Dill, I get it. I’m a military veteran (USMC), and I’m a social worker. I know what this life looks like, and I know how miserable it can be when it feels like life holds nothing for you. I also know life gets so much better when you start living it beyond the routines of numbing in front of your television and drowning your sorrows. 

I can help you put those pieces together. I can help you start living a life that does not repeat the patterns you grew up with. I can help you create happiness in your relationships.

EMDR, individuals 10+

Chelsea Holler, LAC

You have been finding it more and more difficult to find the motivation to wake up in the mornings, go to work, or get anything done. You feel unsupported in your relationships, and you feel like nobody understands what you are going through. Sometimes you feel trapped and lonely.

You’re no stranger to toxic relationships. You find yourself recreating patterns in your life with significant people, you’re envious of other relationships that appear easy. You do not know how to connect with others in a way that feels safe and you’re struggling with trauma you were never able to confront. You are frustrated by your own responses and feeling insecure in your own skin.

I am Chelsea Holler and I would love to help you. Together we can identify old wounds and ultimately heal and learn from them. We can identify what you need in relationships and what you need to feel safe within them. You are not your trauma, and I want to help you to be able to move forward; to really believe that statement.

Mary Stankiewicz, LSW

You’re at a crossroads; you feel like you have been doing so much to hold it all together and make everyone happy, that you no longer how to make yourself happy, let alone make yourself a priority in your own life.

Let me help you figure out who you are, and who you would like to become. Let me help you build your confidence so you have faith to take that leap into new and exciting opportunities.

Alexa Antonelli, LAC

You feel lost, like you have no direction, no sense of self, no voice. You are afraid of doing the wrong thing, of choosing the wrong path and you often find you seek the approval and input of others. You fear you are changing into a person you feel you “should be” as opposed to who you would ultimately like to become. All you want in life is to be happy, maybe even fulfilled, whatever that means. You just want to understand why you cannot seem to choose happiness, you do not understand why you feel selfish in seeking out what it is you want.

My name is Alexa and I would love to help you explore the person you would love to become. Let us work together to untangle all of the negative beliefs and self doubt you have within yourself. I would be honored to help you along on this journey.

Lex Sharpe, LAC

You have suffered trauma, and you do not know how to move forward. You are looking for ways to cope that are not harmful to you and your growth. You do not have a “toolbox” and do not even know where to start. To numb, maybe you have explored substances, maybe you have been looking for ways to escape. You feel like you have no real self esteem and you do not like what you see when you look inside yourself.

My name is Lex and I would love to help you better understand your triggers. I ultimately want to help you accept yourself and to grow in a way that you feel confident in your abilities to care for your mental health.

Let us take this first step together towards your new life.

Shannon Piazza, LSW

You’re scrolling through potential therapists, trying to gauge who might be a good fit, overwhelmed and discouraged by the process. That self-awareness people praise you for continues to feel like both a gift and a burden. You don’t always need someone to tell you how you feel, but sometimes you’re looking for guidance on the path ahead.

Just being here looking, reading, contemplating, is already a step forward…and you’re in the right place. I believe finding the right therapist to work with is just as important as wanting to put in the work. I’d be honored to be a part of your journey, to be trusted to listen to your story, and to empower you to develop resilience, self-esteem and healthy coping skills. 


My name is Shannon and I too have felt lost, confused and stuck at times. My empathetic nature has allowed me to build strong, trusting relationships with clients, helping them navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma and behavioral issues. My goal is to create a safe environment for you to explore your emotions through the challenges of life.  And even though your experiences are completely yours and unique, you are not alone. I am here with you.
