Jennifer Paugh (MSW, LICSW) - 9 Years Experience
Please note; due to licensure I'm only available to work with West Virginia residents. I offer a secular approach to therapy but can honor and respect anyone's spiritual beliefs. I find that the foundation of a good therapeutic relationship is trust and rapport. Although a therapist's experience and education should certainly be taken into account, finding a therapist that you feel conveys true warmth and empathy is of great importance. I have been a social worker for 18 years.

Charlotte Whipkey (LICSW) - 3 Years Experience
I typically practice a holistic, person-centered approach. Holistic in that we will explore topics such as diet, exercise and self-care, to name a few.

Also, I am learning the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model and this will play a significant role in the approach I will take in our interactions. To that end, you will learn to welcome and engage with emotions in a way that is empowering and deeply healing...

Thomas Thompson (MSW, LICSW) - 4 Years Experience
“If there are no ups and downs in your life it means you are dead.” ~Unknown
I won’t promise all your symptoms or problems will go away, from my experience as a clinician and as a person, it is not realistic. We tell ourselves “If I can just get to *blank* then I will be okay.” Once we finally reach there, we still have a challenge we are faced with.
