Social Worker

  • April Starsick, LICSW

    I believe that it is important to focus not only on mental health, but on the whole person. No one part of our being survives alone. All parts play significant roles, including physical, emotional and spiritual elements. I believe that we all have an innate ability to follow our intuition and achieve what we want in our lives. Often, we need to relearn to trust our intuition because life experiences have convinced us to fight against what we know to be best for us. My passion is helping others to relearn this balance to make the best out of life. I have a strong passion for working with trauma survivors, those struggling with depression and anxiety, those with difficulty regulating their emotions, and struggling with their identity or sense of self, including sexuality and gender identity. My approach is multidimensional and based on each clients needs. I believe therapy is an important piece to the puzzle. I also help my clients explore alternative treatment approaches that may assist in healing. There is a lot of great stuff out there! I think these are just as important in achieving the best possible outcome!
  • Arvonda 'Bonnie' Foster, MSW, LCSW

    I am passionate about working with my clients to help them move towards a greater emotional well-being. I provide a warm environment where clients are able to feel safe to express themselves and tell their story. I have worked with individuals for 15 years and have helped my clients realize that life all about growth and change which isn't always easy or comfortable. Our lives can be stressed from many things like death, conflict with a spouse, illness, workplace demands, our children, aging parent or just living in today's world. It is my goal to help you make positive changes and together we can develop effective coping skills to help you make your life the best it can be.

  • Holly Thomas, MSW, LICSW, AADC

    My goal is to offer a safe, confidential space where people feel supported in their work toward positive change and healing. The therapeutic relationship can be a wonderful asset and I feel honored when other's choose to share their stories with me. I believe therapy is beneficial whether it is short or long term and should be client-centered and collaborative. I have experience working with a variety of issues and specialize in substance use.
