Dr. Keeya Prairie is a licensed clinical psychologist in Oregon and New York. She obtained her Master’s and Doctoral degrees in Clinical Psychology from the University of Indianapolis. Her predoctoral internship at Southern Utah University’s Counseling and Psychological Services emphasized support for queer, rural, and religious intersections.

Prior to that, she gained diverse experiences at a community mental health center, college counseling center, and private practices. Dr. Prairie has two main areas of clinical focus: early childhood wounds and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), which often overlap.

Dr. Prairie guides exploration of the inner child and various parts of the self, pulling from the Inner Family Systems (IFS) model, to address childhood conflicts that often manifest as relationship challenges, low self-esteem, people-pleasing, or mental health symptoms like depression, anxiety, or PTSD.

Dr. Prairie also finds parts work helpful for OCD, to help distinguish between OCD thoughts and the thoughts of the true Self. Additionally, she uses traditional Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) techniques to address compulsive symptoms and stop the endless thought cycle of OCD. She works with all types of OCD, including sexual orientation, pedophilic, and harm subtypes.

Dr. Prairie identifies as a queer therapist, and actively creates safe spaces for LGBTQIA+ and gender nonconforming individuals.

Nikki Arthur holds a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling & Marriage and Family Therapy from The Minnesota School of Professional Psychology at Argosy University. She has over two decades of experience in the mental health field; the last fifteen years providing therapeutic services to individuals & couples.

Nikki works most effectively with people who are open to increasing their connection with mind and body and a willingness to address this connection through mindfulness practices. Mindfulness is defined by Jon Kabat Zinn as “paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally.” Nikki believes utilizing mindfulness can allow clients to fully explore their emotions through the lenses of curiosity and compassion which can lead to decreased suffering and ease in dealing with the stressors that life inevitably brings. Mindfulness also appeals to Nikki’s background in research as mindfulness continues to show effectiveness in treating a variety of clinical concerns including, but not limited to, anxiety, recurrent depression, chronic pain, and ADHD.

Nikki’s approach to therapy is systemic, collaborative and strength-based. In addition to mindfulness, her work is informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Polyvagal Theory and the latest neuroscience research. Nikki utilizes these methods to increase her clients’ ability to experience their thoughts and feelings with openness and non-judgment, while practicing self-compassion.

Nikki’s special interests include working with individuals & couples struggling with depression, anxiety, parenting concerns, family/couple conflict and wellness/stress management. She provides her clients with a safe and supportive space to explore their concerns, while working collaboratively with clients so they feel the empowerment that comes from accessing their best self.

In her free time, Nikki enjoys spending time with her husband, her children and their dog, Bella. She also loves to read, meditate, bake with her daughters, go for walks, and listen to music.

Amy is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida and can see clients who are physically located anywhere throughout the state of Florida.

Amy received graduate honors throughout her career, including Chi Sigma Iota honors in Counselor Education, and received a graduate scholarship award from the University of Central Florida, and was awarded a stipend from the University of Central Florida Counseling and Testing Center.

Amy enjoys working with older adolescents and adults who struggle with overcoming trauma, anxiety, depression, individual relationship struggles, and a variety of life concerns. She also has a strong clinical focus on helping others to improve work life balance, self-esteem, self-empowerment, relationship distress and divorce. Amy uses cognitive-behavioral therapy, along with teaching mindfulness and personal awareness to help clients begin to better understand the interconnection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

She is also certified in Brainspotting (BSP), a trauma therapy that was founded through EMDR, which is a treatment technique that uses eye position that “..locates points in the client’s visual field that help to access unprocessed trauma in the subcortical brain.”  This approach is specific and self-directed in sessions. Please don’t hesitate to ask more about using this technique.

Before moving to Florida from upstate New York, Amy found her passion for her field through a work-study position at a community college counseling center. Before entering private practice, Amy worked in inpatient, outpatient, and in jail substance abuse facilities and programs. She also served as a consultant for both inpatient therapy and skilled nursing facilities.

Clients have often said they find Amy to be, “real” as she is sometimes inclined to use a bit of humor in session, as this helps lead clients to feel comfortable speaking freely in sessions, which allows them to work on all aspects of life that have proven challenging or traumatic.

Amy sees the good in people, and believes that everyone is doing the best they can with what they have in that moment. She believes we are always “becoming”.  Our life is a constant work in progress. The mission behind her practice is to help lead you on a path to living your passions, finding purpose in your life, and leading your most ideal life possible–truly loving yourself, and your decisions, with no regrets.

Amy currently lives in Florida and as she comes from a personal training background, she continues to enjoy health and fitness, outdoor activities and events, and is an avid solo traveler.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of NY, ME and FL. I graduated with a Masters in Social Work from Adelphi University in 2005 and before that with a B.A. in Sociology from SUNY New Paltz.

I’ve worked in mental health for over 15 years. I’ve been fortunate to have had a lot of great career opportunities across the mental health and medical fields (in both inpatient and outpatient settings) including being a therapist. I have had jobs that I loved (and some that I didn’t love as much). I taught graduate school social work students for several years, too.

Being a therapist has always felt like home to me and it’s where I do my best work. I’m grateful for the opportunity I am given to help others.

If you’re ready to feel better and are willing to put in the work….please don’t hesitate to contact me here. If we talk and discover it’s not a good fit, I’ll gladly help you find another therapist who might be.
