Emily Runnels

Practice Name: Thorn and Rose Counseling

Email: emily@thornandrosecounseling.com

About:My approach to therapy is rooted in CBT and IFS. I believe our core beliefs strongly influence how we think, feel, and act. While I value goal-oriented work, I also believe in meeting clients where they are. Sometimes therapy is about skill-building and growth, and other times it’s about creating a safe, supportive space to feel understood and validated.

Akiva Benjamin O’Connor

Practice Name: The Next Chapter Counseling

Email: akiva@tnccounseling.com

About: Many clients come to therapy for issues related to self-image, conflict, depression and anxiety, and recovering from traumatic events like abuse and infidelity. When working with me clients discover about their value systems and what is important to them, and may find that their behaviors and interactions are out of sync with what they hold dear. We work together to figure out what is getting in their way and how to make better choices with what they have in front of them.

Emily Pennington

Practice Name: The Next Chapter Counseling

Email: Emily@tnccounseling.com

About: I specialize in working with teens and adults who are navigating anxiety (including social anxiety), depression, ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence, spirituality, low self-esteem, trauma, work or school stress, major life transitions, friendship struggles, and dating/relationship issues.

I have such a heart for walking with people through these challenges — not just because I’m trained in it, but because I’ve been there, too. As someone who has lived with severe anxiety and more recently been diagnosed with ADHD, I know how overwhelming it can feel. My passion is helping clients move from stuck and scattered to confident, grounded, and empowered.

Bethany Huang

Practice Name: The Restoring Place

Email: bh-therestoringplace@lydiashen.com

About:

Growing up, therapy seemed taboo and only for weak people. How does talking to someone actually help me with my depression and anxiety? And why can’t I figure it out on my own? However as I’ve also gone to therapy, I’ve discovered that it takes courage and intentionality. Sometimes having someone to talk to, who will listen to all I have to say, makes all the difference. The process of change and better understanding of yourself through therapy can be difficult but I believe it is worth it. You are strong. There is hope. I believe that every person has a unique story. It would be an honor to walk alongside you through life, whether you find yourself in the ups or the downs.
My approach in counseling is centered on Person Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I desire to create an environment where you can be an active participant in your therapy. My specialities include anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes.
