Our Therapists
Stephanie Vacek, LMFT- Owner
As a marriage and family therapist it is my honor to work with individuals and families to work through hardships and explore ways to not only survive life's trials but to thrive. Many people find themselves seeking therapy during a life transition. Transitions can be extremely challenging, whether it is a change in a relationship, employment, a move or a loss. Navigating a new normal can come with pain and uncertainty. Through our work together we will use a variety of techniques and interventions to explore solutions and assist you in developing skills to find joy again.
I bring years of experience working with adults, children, and families. I work from a lens that emphasizes safety and connection. I will partner with you to explore you and your family's needs with empathy and respect.

Raven Wright, LCSW
*Virtual High-Five*
I commend you on taking the initiative to seek assistance with your health and wellness journey. It is normal to want to handle life’s challenges on your own, but it never hurts to have a dependent supporter cheering you on every step of the way. My natural compassion for others combined with my high energy drives my dedication to those I serve and the services I provide. However, this is your treatment, and I am here to listen and guide. My goal is to develop an honest connection with you within a safe, judgement-free environment. I want us to join together to address and meet your identified goals and needs. I have been in this field, for several years, serving diverse populations, in various settings. My experience, as a clinician, is in individual and family therapy with children and adolescents dealing with an abundance of emotional, behavioral, and social difficulties related to life stressors and past trauma. Although, I am always open to new experiences to increase my knowledge for continued growth in my career. I look forward to meeting you and aiding you in achieving your personal goals and potential.

Nicole Lemoine, LPC
I'm a direct, down-to-earth counselor who believes therapy should be a place where you can be honest, be yourself, and maybe even laugh a little—because life is hard enough without having to be serious every minute of it. I’ve spent more than 25 years working with individuals, couples, and families, including extensive experience with foster care and adoption. I’m not afraid to lovingly tell you what you may not want to hear, but I’ll do it with compassion, humor, and absolutely no judgment. I’m also PREPARE/ENRICH certified for couples counseling and offer Christian counseling as an option for those who want to bring their faith into the process. My goal is to help you untangle the messy stuff, recognize what you can change, accept what you can’t, and leave with a little more hope—and maybe a good laugh along the way.
