We’re kicking off our month by welcoming three wonderful new therapists to the Create Balance Counseling team! 💚

If you’ve been looking for the right therapist, we’d love to introduce you to Allison Massey, Karina Viktora, & Hannah Paschke!

✨ Karina Viktora
Karina works with adolescents, teens, and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Her warm, collaborative approach blends understanding the “why” behind emotions and patterns with skills-based strategies to build self-awareness, develop coping tools, and create meaningful change.

✨ Hannah Paschke
Hannah works with adolescents, teens, and young adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and family challenges, neurodiversity, q***r experiences, and life transitions. Her approach is warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental.

✨ Allison Massey
Allison works with adults and couples to explore how early life influences impact their current choices and relationships. By helping clients connect with their present-day needs and emotions, she guides them toward living a more fulfilling and authentic life. Allison collaborates closely with her clients, working at their pace to identify and overcome the obstacles blocking them from achieving their goals.

💙 Insurance & Payment Options:
Therapists are in network with BCBS and Aetna, as well as sliding-scale, out-of-network super bills, and private-pay options.

If you or someone you know could use a supportive space to work through life’s challenges, reach out to learn more or schedule a consultation.
