Allison Wadleigh LCMHCA
In her work with youth, adults, and families, Allison strives to help clients take steps toward embracing a more authentic way of living and developing healthier relationships with themselves and others. Her approach is integrative, relational, and client-centered with a basis in attachment-theory. Depending on her client’s needs and developmental age, she utilizes evidence-based treatments to help clients manage mood-related issues, post-traumatic stress, self-harming behaviors, loss, abuse and/or neglect, as well as challenges of living with developmental or neurological disorders such as autism spectrum disorder or ADHD. Allison also supports individuals of all ages reconciling faith, family of origin concerns, or struggling with sexuality and/or gender identities. She offers clients affirmation and support as they move through the pains and joys of owning or uncovering aspects of themselves. And Allison believes it is essential to acknowledge and address her client’s experiences of classist, homophobic, racist, sexist, or ableist social & political barriers that contribute to their daily challenges.
In client treatment she utilizes her training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which combines techniques of mindfulness, emotion regulation, and social skill-building for individuals experiencing mood-disorders, relationship distress, suicidal thoughts, or self-harm. Allison holds certification in Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS), which she offers to parents needing a better way to communicate with youth. She also integrates trainings in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT) to help children/teens and their parents to heal together. Additionally, she has an extensive background in creative/expressive arts and play therapy, which she utilizes with her younger clients when appropriate.
Overall, Allison aims to be a catalyst for her clients’ deepened understanding of their powerful internal resources, which she believes can generate concrete personal solutions, enhance social connections, and bring about long-lasting positive change.

Sanja Broer, MSW, LCSWA
Hello and welcome! My name is Sanja (sounds like Tanya with an S), and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate with experience in providing psychotherapy to individuals and couples. My therapeutic approach is integrative and non-pathologizing, drawing from both psychodynamic and humanistic theories to support you in your healing journey. I strongly believe that the therapeutic relationship plays a central role in the healing process, and I strive to create a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I view our work together as a collaborative and evolving process that caters to your needs and aspirations. We will work together to identify patterns that may be hindering your progress, develop effective coping skills, and foster healthier relationships with yourself and others.
I have supported clients through a range of challenges, including trauma and PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief, OCD, self-harm, suicidal ideation, eating and mood disorders, relationship issues, and life transitions. While my clinical toolbox is of eclectic nature, I naturally gravitate toward Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing (SE), Polyvagal and Attachment theories, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Additionally, I am passionate about working with clients from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds, and I am committed to providing culturally sensitive and inclusive care. As someone who has personally benefited from therapy, I strongly believe in the transformative power of a trusting therapeutic relationship. It has been a life-changing experience for me, and I would be honored to be a part of your journey towards conscious awareness and self-discovery.
Originally from Croatia, I now call North Carolina home. When not immersed in therapeutic work, I enjoy practicing yoga, hiking, and spending time with loved ones. As an avid reader, I frequently incorporate books and other resources into my work with clients. In addition to my clinical practice, I am a Crisis Text Line volunteer and a member of the National Association of Social Workers, regularly attending conferences and workshops to stay up to date with the latest evidence-based treatment approaches.
I believe we all have the ability to heal and uncover our authentic selves; this process is truly for everyone. You don’t have to do it alone – I would be privileged to journey alongside you.

Hello! My name is Brigitta Goshen (she/her). I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (LCSWA) and committed to providing a compassionate and supportive space for individuals navigating life's unique challenges. I draw on evidence-based therapy approaches, specifically, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), as well as somatic and mindfulness-based therapy. As a therapist, I aim to honor your unique journey and try different techniques to help you find healing, growth, and empowerment to reach your goals.
I have experience supporting clients through various challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship issues, and life transitions. With a particular interest in clients who are neurodivergent, whether you have ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), or other conditions, I recognize that your experiences are beautifully unique. I offer a safe and inclusive environment where you can explore your strengths, embrace your differences, and develop strategies to navigate the challenges that may arise. Together, we will focus on building self-acceptance, enhancing executive functioning skills, and fostering a sense of pride and self-advocacy.
Another area of interest for me is working with Spiritual/Religious concerns. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals who have experienced religious trauma, helping them navigate complex emotions, heal from past wounds, and rebuild a healthy relationship with their spirituality or belief system. I draw from trauma-informed approaches, integrating your personal beliefs and values into the therapeutic process to support your healing and growth. I deeply respect the diverse experiences and identities that each person brings to therapy, especially regarding religious identities.
From my therapeutic journey, I recognize that this work can sometimes be difficult and frustrating. I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing, growth, and self-discovery. Together, we will create a therapeutic partnership where your voice is valued, your experiences are honored, and you can find the strength within yourself to overcome life's challenges.
I look forward to supporting you as you embark on this transformative path of healing and personal empowerment.
