The answer to the question "Who is Jayne X Praxis?" has taken me 30 years to discover. The main thing I've learned is that I'll continue to discover and understand who I am for the next 30 and more years. However, I can tell you some of what I've learned so far, especially about my practice as a therapist and my dedication to my own healing and to helping others heal when I can. I have found the process of healing and the pathway of clinical therapy are at their roots the process of rewriting your personal narrative. It is taking out current understanding about ourselves and the world and the way those two things interact and creating a different story than the one we've been living. A story in which we are empowered to make changes, set boundaries, let go of the things that no longer serve us. and to discover and pursue our personal values. This also means we will find and identify strengths that maybe we didn't know we had, and find ways to manage the limitations that we comes from chronic illness. I see my role as more cooperative than authoritarian, creating a space for this work to take place, offering tools and resources, and sharing knowledge both clinical and personal, however it is you, and me, who do our own work. It is my own commitment to my healing from my own mental health issues and my journey as a pansexual non-binary transwoman that lead me to the decision to help others who have needed some guidance and support in their own journeys. To this end I have been an educator, activist, and advocate in the Louisville LGBTQ+ community since I came out in 1991. I obtained my MSSW from the Kent School of Social Work in 2010 and my LCSW in 2015. I have been a practicing therapist for 14 years and have worked with people of all ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds. I have found I am at my strongest when I provide individual therapy to adults (18+). I specialize in treating trauma and LGBTQ+ issues. as well as mood disorders, life transitions, AD/HD, adjustment disorders, and grief.

Multiculturally aware, bilingual, independently licensed mental health therapist who understands that compassion and relationship building are at the core of the healing process. I am a trauma-informed, dialectical, and person-centered clinician who believes in both practical and deeply, emotionally based healing processes. I am a graduate of John Carroll University and have 9 years of experience working in the mental health field. I have worked with clients in various community mental health settings with problems ranging from situational life stress to severe mental illness. Some special interests include: PTSD and trauma related disorders, anxiety disorders, life transitions, parenting issues, existential issues, couples counseling and personality disorders. I have also completed multiple research projects focusing on anxiety and the efficacy of different treatment modalities. I possess the skills, expertise and compassion to help individuals with a wide range of issues or concerns. I take a person-centered approach, where I work on building a strong therapeutic relationship with each client in order to help them reach their greatest potential and work towards reaching their goals. I believe that connection and relationship are the two foundations to personal growth. The strength of the relationship is based on my ability to maintain a non-judgmental, trusting and validating environment for the client while encouraging growth. My techniques include an integrative approach, combining multiple techniques, with an emphasis on Mindfulness-based techniques and DBT skills.

My name is Rick Gantt. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - Supervisor in the commonwealth of Kentucky. I have over 20 years of experience working as a mental health counselor and have a very diverse set of experiences through the years with preferences in bipolar and mood issues, grief and mourning, anger issues, couples counseling and past traumas. I also have considerable experience working with substance and dual diagnosis. I prefer an adolescent through adult and even geriatric clientele. I am experienced and do care about those that I work with and enjoy seeing my clients succeed. I am an eclectic therapist which basically means that I use what I see is most effective for the Client.  Much of what we will talk about will be Gestalt therapy which attempts to help you be empowered to learn to make your own decisions and help to find the sources of issues within your past.  CBT and behavioral therapies are always useful in helping to see that by changing these thoughts you can easily change behaviors that follow.  I also use some psychoanalytic to help to see the influence that development has had on current thoughts and emotions.  And finally, Client centered which helps in creating an environment for learning.

Hi! My name is Russell or Rusty or Russ, whichever you prefer. My approach is casual, but also rooted in science. Like an astronaut might say they “always knew they wanted to be an astronaut”, I’ve always known I wanted to be a therapist. I’ve studied the more interesting psychological treatment approaches, like humanistic theory, motivational and mindfulness based approaches, but graduated from a rigorous Psychology program rooted in the science of Cognitive Behavioral Theory. My Master's degree is a Master’s of Science in Social Work. I believe that there’s a framework that fits everyone and every problem, but that good outcomes are rooted in a good therapeutic rapport as well as an approach that actually works. Let’s let your challenges guide our treatment approach, I’m here to listen and help you solve!
