About Our Team

Our Approach

Our therapy style is warm, laid-back, and interactive, grounded in compassion, respect, and sensitivity. We reject stigmatizing labels and believe in treating everyone with the utmost dignity. We specialize in trauma, depression, anxiety, and relationships, serving both individuals and couples, with a focus on the LGBTQIA+ community, active duty service members, and veterans. We understand that seeking treatment requires courage and taking the first steps towards change can be challenging. If you are ready to take that step, we are here to support and empower you on your journey.

Our Mission: 

At Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc., our mission is to provide compassionate and comprehensive psychotherapy services for individuals across the lifespan. We are committed to creating a safe and inclusive space where clients can navigate their unique journeys toward mental wellness. Grounded in trauma-informed care, our clinicians prioritize understanding the impact of past experiences, fostering healing, and empowering clients to overcome challenges. With a nonjudgmental and empathetic approach, we strive to cultivate an environment that promotes growth, resilience, and positive change. Our mission is to be a trusted partner in the transformative process of achieving lasting emotional well-being.
