Katy Larson, LPCC, Lead Clinical Director: Lexington
Being a human in this world can be so difficult and confusing! I love to help people become a version of themselves they can feel good about. If we are not clear on what our personal values and goals are, we can end up feeling lost with no direction. My training helps me to help people gain insight into the ways their past experiences have shaped their present. The process of changing and doing things differently often involves working through difficult feelings such as grief, shame, and regret; no one should have to deal with these feelings alone. The better we understand ourselves, the more empowered we are to take control of our lives and become our most authentic selves. I am here to provide a safe space and to create the conditions necessary for healing and lasting change. My approach is eclectic; psychodynamic & person-centered informed by feminist & existential theories. I frequently work with autistic folks, LGBTQIA+ folks, trauma/dissociative disorders, and identity/existential issues.

Ray Lynn Lee, CSW: Lexington

I have spent most of my professional decade-long career working with kids, families, bio parents, and social workers from the foster care system. I worked with children school aged and up, as well as a lot of work with transgendered youth aging out of the foster care system. Trauma is different for each person. With education, acceptance, and exploration we can all work towards healing and learning to love ourselves in the process.

Krissy Mitchell, CSW: Lexington
Have you been feeling overwhelmed, tired, or mentally exhausted by day-to-day life? Maybe past choices no longer feel aligned with who you are, or you know something needs to change but aren't sure which direction to take. It's easy to get stuck in routine and miss the parts of life worth enjoying.
You don't have to work through it alone. One of my favorite moments in therapy is seeing someone move from thinking about what they want to taking real steps toward it. The goal is to help you manage what life brings while making more room for what matters to you. I work with children, adolescents, and adults ages 5–50 facing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, behavioral concerns, or academic difficulties. In a nonjudgmental space, we'll talk openly about what's happening, identify what's keeping you stuck, and build skills and action steps to improve your quality of life.
Travis Neace, LCSW: Lexington
I help people cultivate a better understanding of their relationship with themselves and others. Whether you are coming in for relational issues, grief, burnout, career change, transitions to/from college, or self-discovery; I take pride in providing an open and inclusive space for all identities. Whatever the problem, you don't have to face it alone. Before becoming a therapist, I have over 7 years of experience working as a healthcare professional. During this time, I learned the value of being an accepting and affirming provider. I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Kentucky and my graduate degree from the Graduate School of Social Work at the University of Denver. During my time at the University of Denver, I trained at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in the OCD program utilizing evidence-based treatments to treat OCD and anxiety. I am trained in a variety of evidence-based approaches and committed to life-long learning to improve client outcomes. I acknowledge that finding a therapist can be hard, and it can be the greatest investment of your life once you find the right fit. I strive to create a space where you feel fully accepted and empowered.

Rayne Welch, LCSW: Telehealth Only
My use of CBT techniques helps my clients to first become aware of harmful, maladaptive, or unwanted thoughts and behaviors. After that, we can explore where these thoughts and behaviors stem from, what triggers them, how to prepare for them, and ultimately how to redirect and counteract them. By shedding light and awareness on the problem(s), we are then able to take our power back and lead our thoughts in a direction and manner that is positive and fulfilling to our lives. I aim to create a safe space where my clients feel comfortable to share and discuss anything. I won’t flinch at even the most intense topics, and I will match your energy and meet you where you are.
Elizabeth Miller, B.S., MA. Ed., LPCC-S, RPT: Florence
Starting therapy can be scary when you don't know what to expect or who you'll be talking with. In my experience, the typical therapy setting often lacks consistency and clear communication about what's ahead. I believe therapy should be collaborative, not led by one party. I usually begin sessions with a plan, but plans can change depending on what you bring. It's your boat; I'm just part of the crew helping you reach the destination you set.
Growing up is hard. Being a teenager or young adult is hard. Being "different" is hard. But it doesn't have to happen without guidance and encouragement. I strive to be the person I needed when I was younger by staying present and flexible with my clients.
Through metaphors, humor, and structure, I push young people to become the version of themselves they feel they can be. Neurodivergence is often treated solely as a disability, which can leave you surviving but not living. I encourage clients to use their differences and strengths to thrive. Direct communication and consistency between sessions are the norm with me, which helps reduce anxiety about therapy itself.
Sessions often focus on personal growth, independence, nonverbal cue awareness, communication, confidence, and social skills. Building and maintaining friendships can be confusing, complicated, and emotional, and a patient, helpful hand can make a huge difference. You don't have to stay lost, misunderstood, and confused by your emotions and the world. I often tell clients they "can do hard things." Often, going to therapy is the hard thing, and that's okay.
I earned a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Eastern Kentucky University and have since achieved LPCC-S licensure and the RPT credential. Since graduating, I've spent extensive time learning how Autism and ADHD affect individuals and how best to serve this population, and I've earned certification in AutPlay and Child-Centered Play Therapy. I'm currently expanding my knowledge of new information and therapy approaches to help neurodivergent individuals transition into independence where possible. Elizabeth specializes in Autism and ADHD Testing, Lean More.
Sara Zimmerman, LPCA: Lexington
I strive to create a warm, respectful, and empowering space where clients feel safe, supported, and understood as they work toward meaningful and lasting change. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults, and take a holistic, person-centered approach that honors the whole individual—mind, body, and spirit—while recognizing that you are the expert on your own life. I enjoy working collaboratively with clients to explore anxiety, depression, life transitions, and behavioral concerns, and to develop goals that feel realistic and meaningful. When working with children, I incorporate play therapy, art, mindfulness, and skill-building techniques to help them express themselves, better understand their emotions, and build healthy coping skills.
