Providers with Immediate Availability

  • Jo Defibaugh, LPC

    Therapist

    My own experiences navigating LGBTQ+ identity and minority stress inform my empathy and drive to provide affirming, thoughtful care. I believe that growth often comes through recognizing and coexisting with life’s challenges, and I’m honored to travel alongside clients as they uncover their strengths and reclaim agency over their lives.

  • Kam Layton, LPC

    THERAPIST

    I believe growth happens when we truly connect to ourselves and others without judgement, gaining clarity about what is important to us. I support clients as they build new insights, explore their inner world, strengthen relationships, and author their stories.

  • Erin Franklin, CT

    COUNSELOR TRAINEE

    I’m a calm, warm, and approachable provider who believes that healing, growth, and change are possible when the work is desired and effort is put in. I strive to create a steady, gentle space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered to navigate life’s challenges.

  • Mirabai Ingles, CT

    COUNSELOR TRAINEE

    I believe that healing begins with the courage to express yourself, even when it feels difficult. My approach is rooted in a belief that pain is often stored in the nonverbal parts of our brains. Expressing this pain creatively may allow more depth and truth to emerge than traditional verbal approaches.
