Hello! My name is Iris Whitlock.
Helping people to find happiness and peace,
has been my passion and profession for the last 10 years.
I am a firm believer in the need for individual,
depth-oriented counseling,
self-exploration,
and an understanding of how one's past
affects one’s self-concept, and even present-day relationships.
You ARE deserving of happiness and emotional growth!
I have experience working with youth, young adults, and adults in an individual setting.

Hello! My name is Laura Albrecht-Munk.
I enjoy working with adult teens, and adults in individual therapy.
My areas of interest and expertise are:
My overall therapeutic approach is integrative in nature, meaning I select therapeutic interventions that adapt to the needs of a client.
For instance, this could include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in which I implement relaxation, mindfulness, and self-compassion skills to help a client undo unhelpful ways of thinking and behaving.
A faith-based approach in therapy could be applied and integrated into the counseling process when a client deems their faith and religious life important to self-understanding, growth, and change.
My aim as a counselor is
to be present,
to listen and hear,
to support, inform, guide,
and assist the client in their personal journey towards the positive goals they have set for themselves.
On a personal note, I enjoy bike riding, gardening, reading, genealogy, interior decorating, watching college football, road trips, and eating Chinese food!
