Meet Kimberly!

Kimberly Dykeman, MA, CMHC
Hello! I am a Master’s Level Clinical Mental Health Counselor and a proud graduate of both Saint Joseph College and Southern New Hampshire University. Following my undergraduate studies, I embarked on a beautiful journey working as a Secondary Educator. Working with students and parents collaboratively, I began to see personal and emotional struggles through a new lens. This experience fueled my passion to work with all populations and join the mental health field.

We all have a little style, so let’s just get down to that! I use wholistic, mindful, and theory-driven approaches to treatment that are tailored to meet the needs of each unique client. I am passionate about having a client-centered approach to treatment. This means that I make it my priority to find meaningful connections with clients that promote wellness and self-growth. In other words, it’s all about you! I am a true believer that with the right connection, skills-training, and motivation, positive change can and will occur.

Whether you are dealing with grief, trauma, domestic violence, family or relationship stressors, or have a child you want to support who is struggling, my goal is always to help clients build skills that will make life more manageable daily. While some steps are big, and some steps are small, taking the first step matters most. Reaching out for support is always awesome. No matter what the challenge, I look forward to meeting new clients with diverse backgrounds and establishing therapeutic relationships that last.

Meet Sofia!
All parts of you are welcome here. Sofia believes that healing begins in spaces where individuals feel safe, supported, and truly seen. She works collaboratively with children, adolescents, and adults to create a therapeutic space that gently supports emotional exploration and honors each person’s unique pace and process.
To Sofia, therapy is not only about navigating challenges—it is also about deepening self-understanding, fostering resilience, and reconnecting with one’s authentic self. She takes a holistic, trauma-informed approach, tailoring her work to meet each client where they are while supporting emotional awareness, regulation, and meaningful change.
Sofia’s style is integrative and rooted in evidence-based and experiential practices, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, and somatic healing modalities. She also incorporates play-based and creative approaches, such as art and role play, to support expression and healing—particularly with children. Across all ages, she integrates inner child work, helping clients reconnect with parts of themselves that may be seeking safety, understanding, and care.
Sofia specializes in working with individuals navigating grief and loss, anxiety, and trauma. She is committed to continually expanding her knowledge and adapting her approach to best support each client’s unique needs and goals. If desired, she also welcomes the integration of spirituality as part of the healing process.

Meet Sunnie!
Sunnie is a Master’s-level Clinical Mental Health Counselor with certification in Personal Approaches to Transformational Healing. Sunnie is also a certified yoga teacher with practicum experience in trauma-sensitive yoga, foundational training in Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY), and is currently completing certification in TCTSY. Sunnie holds an undergraduate degree in philosophy and is pursuing a Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership, as well as certification in Play Therapy.

Sunnie practices from a personalized approach informed by person-centered theory, attachment theory, trauma-informed care, and somatic (body-based) approaches. Treatment may incorporate mindfulness, meditation, breathing techniques, play therapy, expressive arts therapy, and trauma-sensitive yoga when clinically appropriate.

Sunnie is committed to supporting children, adolescents, adults, parents, and postpartum clients. Sunnie brings extensive experience working with children across diverse settings, including roles as an assistant daycare teacher (ages 6 weeks to preschool), gymnastics coach for children ages 2 through adolescence, and arts and crafts director at YMCA Camp Belknap for boys ages 8–16. Sunnie has also facilitated children’s yoga programs for Girl Scouts, daycare centers, and elementary schools, and has led both yoga for healing and beginner yoga classes at Root to Crown Yoga Studio.

Sunnie integrates evidence-based, body-focused approaches grounded in the understanding that stress, trauma, and emotional experiences are often held in the body.By strengthening the mind–body connection, supporting self-regulation, and using evidence-based, personalised approaches, therapy can address symptoms of complex trauma and other mental health concerns that may be less accessible through talk therapy alone.

Outside of clinical work, Sunnie enjoys parenting three children, outdoor adventure, snowboarding, music, dance, plant-based living, and travel.

Hey! I’m Tricia. I am a nationally certified mental health counselor and board certified music therapist. I received my degree in music therapy from Marywood University and received my graduate degree in clinical mental health counseling from Southern New Hampshire University. Over the last 10 years, I have worked in mental health care in a variety of settings including inpatient treatment and public education. I work with clients of all ages using a combination of client centered, expressive arts, and mindfulness approaches. This means sessions can have any combination of talking, creative expression through art and music, mindfulness, and body integration in an empathetic and non-judgmental space. I am passionate about helping people overcome challenges and grow resilience to traverse life’s lows and embrace life’s highs. This is accomplished by adapting sessions to each person’s unique needs while working toward healing and overall wellness.

Meet Gabby Casey, MA:

Healing occurs when we feel seen, heard, and accepted. We become empowered to live a life that aligns with our values. A felt sense of safety and grounding is key to regulating our nervous systems and accessing our inner wisdom. We will work collaboratively on challenges and explore how they can be opportunities for personal growth. We will explore specific tools and coping strategies that can be useful for you in your process.

As a yoga instructor, I integrate yoga and embodiment practices into my work as well as mindfulness, self-compassion, cognitive behavioral therapy, communication skills, grounding techniques, coping strategies, emotional freedom technique (tapping), art approaches and more. I am always expanding my clinician’s toolbox so you can reach your therapy goals.

I enjoy working with all ages on anxiety, relationship difficulties, life transitions, unhelpful thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and stress-related issues. I have experience working with thought, mood, and personality disorders as well as behavioral and emotional difficulties in an alternative school setting. I am telehealth only.

Gabby is accepting new clients!
