C. Nicole Denham, LCSW

Since earning my Clinical Social Work degree in 2023, I have supported adults coping with emotional and mood challenges, childhood and complex trauma, fear of abandonment, borderline personality disorder (BPD) traits, relationship issues, and body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) such as dermatillomania (skin picking), among others.

I offer EMDR not only for trauma, anxiety, grief, and adult attachment, but also for strengthening resilience and rehearsing future moments—helping you move toward deeper clarity and lasting change. Depending on your goals, our work may incorporate self-compassion practices, Written Exposure Therapy (WET) for traumatic experiences, guided imagery, parts work, and humor, always with a focus on emotional safety and trust.  

I am Core Skills Trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an evidence-based approach grounded in attachment science.  

My approach is shaped by a 30-year research career, most recently in VA mental health—so our work together will be rooted in what the evidence shows works. 

Celia Mansfield, LMSW

  

Being human is hard. We move through seasons of joy and triumph, but also trauma, grief, loss, and uncertainty. My work as a therapist is grounded in the belief that you don't have to navigate those experiences alone, and that healing is possible.

My background includes more than a decade of working with adolescents, families, women across the lifespan, survivors of domestic violence, and postpartum mothers. While I have experience supporting these populations, I believe my skills extend far beyond any one specialty. At the heart of therapy is simply this: you are a human being trying to make sense of your life, relationships, experiences, and yourself.

I take a holistic, trauma-informed approach that recognizes the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit. I believe we cannot fully care for the mind while ignoring what is happening in the body and spirit. When it feels appropriate and meaningful to my clients, I weave in mindfulness, meditation, journaling, lifestyle practices, and my background in herbalism and holistic wellness. These are not about prescribing a particular belief system, but about helping you reconnect with the resources, wisdom, and practices that support your whole self.

I am also very practical in my approach. Therapy happens for a limited amount of time each week, but your life happens every day. I want our work together to create meaningful shifts between sessions. Not simply insight or venting, but tools you can actually use in your relationships, your parenting, your nervous system, your self-talk, and your everyday life. 

Whether you're navigating a major life transition, healing from trauma or loss, struggling in a relationship, feeling overwhelmed by motherhood, or simply recognizing that the way you've been living no longer feels sustainable, there is room for you here. You don't have to have everything figured out before you begin. You just have to be willing to begin.

GEOFF BAKER, MBA, CSW

I am a Community Support Worker with extensive experience working with "at-risk" youth and adults in need. I have a background in mentoring teens and young adults to help them obtain education, training, housing, insurance, and to achieve financial goals. I am passionate about helping others to succeed in their lives. 

In my free time, I enjoy traveling, working out, soccer, and hunting.
