About our Clinicians

Sam Bio

Director

Therapist Bio: Samantha Pillow

I have been working as a Mental Health Clinician for the last 15 years. I am a Certified Substance Abuse Counselor and specialize in Trauma. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, and couples wanting to focus on improving their overall mental health. I am a Person-Centered Therapist, recognizing that everyone is unique and different, and treatment cannot go according to a cookie-cutter approach. I also believe that therapy takes a lot of work, both in and out of sessions, and will help to focus on building routines, improving self-care, and increasing the overall effectiveness of healthy coping strategies. At this time in my career, I am transitioning into a Director/Supervisory role, and therefore, my availability for new patients may be limited.

Therapist Bio: Kelsy Hoerauf

 

Hi I’m Kelsy Hoerauf. For 13 years, I’ve enjoyed helping people experience better relationships

with those they love and themselves. When engaging in individual, couples, or family therapy, I

seek to first understand the dynamics of the environments or systems involved. These often

include, county or region of origin, connection to the military, work environment, family norms,

spiritual practices, LGBTQIA+ identity, infertility, local community, and the presence of a

support system or lack thereof. I seek to understand the impact of these on mental health

symptoms including anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. I use a mindfulness approach to

help cope with life’s valleys. This encourages staying in the moment and not focusing on wrongs

of the past or anticipated troubles in the future. The present moment is often neglected, but when

noticed, helps recenter us in the now. When processing life and relationship difficulties I often

notice that the grief process occurs in many life transitions, including the loss of a loved one or

relationship through death, a breakup, divorce, a falling out or even due to growth. I realize that

we all change, sometimes by necessity and other times by choice. My goal is to partner with

clients to promote positive change in relationships with others and within themselves.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in an eclectic integration, including Trauma-Informed Therapy interventions, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and Person-Centered methods. Valuing each client as a unique individual is facilitated by respecting that each person’s therapeutic process will be just as unique and individualized. It is an honor as a helping professional to come alongside children, adolescents, and adult clients collaboratively to address various difficulties occurring in all aspects of life. I work with individuals, couples, and families experiencing life transitions, grief, relationship conflict, trauma, and adversities involving mental health and behavioral concerns. Some Specialized areas of service include depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, disruptive behavior, and mood disorders.
