I believe my clients deserve to be treated with empathy, respect, warmth, and patience without judgment or shame. Let me help you heal by creating a safe and supportive environment as we work together, at your pace, to mend from your past and discover meaning in life.

My name is Jill Willoughby, CSW and I am a telehealth trauma-informed EMDR trained therapist. I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families.

Katrina Sharp

Born and raised in Kentucky, I am familiar with the challenges many of my community members face from childhood trauma to poverty, grief and substance abuse. As a second-generation immigrant, I have first-hand experience with the difficulties immigrants and their families face as they begin a life in America. They often experience discrimination, poverty, and religious persecution while acclimating to the American Western culture. Although these challenges can negatively affect one’s future, they don’t have to. My goal is to empower clients to create a better future for themselves and their family through gaining the skills and knowledge needed to persevere through those challenges.

Aleia Dvorak

I graduated from the University of Louisville’s Kent School of Social Work with a Master’s of Science in Social Work. I believe that individuals are the experts in their own lives and possess the innate ability to heal. I am dedicated to assisting individuals in moving from surviving to thriving through collaborative processes. Being person-centered, trauma-informed, a lifelong learner, and culturally humble are not just ideals for me; they are integral aspects of my identity.

Ellyn Ramser, Humanistic Therapist in Louisville, KY

Ellyn Ramser

We all experience challenges in our life, and sometimes we need support to make the changes we are seeking. I strive to walk side by side through challenging times with my clients, as we move through healing and seek the changes they desire in their lives. My theory of change is rooted in a humanistic approach to therapy that focuses on treating the whole person, and emphasizes the strengths of the client. I have experience working with families, children, adolescents, preteens, teenagers, and adults all with varying issues. I tend to lean into a family systems approach to therapy when working with families and individuals.
I truly believe that if the space of safety and acceptance is created and a positive supportive relationship is built, that people can explore ways to create their own change that they are seeking. I focus more on helping people explore their authentic selves and strive for increased self-actualization and self-acceptance.

Adam Berry

People are often held captive by their emotions and thoughts, which prevents them from reaching their full potential. My practice is informed by blending mindfulness with other modalities to alleviate this state of distraction and fully experience the present moment. To best treat my clients, I use an integrative approach that draws from many different modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, humanistic, and existential modalities. I am also trained and experienced in utilizing EMDR to address trauma, which often manifests in a variety of negative impacts on one’s life and functioning.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults, treating a variety of issues such as depression, anxiety, dysfunctional relationships, PTSD, personality disorders, panic attacks, and others.
