We are beyond excited to have Jessica O'Flannagan join our team! She is now seeing clients! See her bio below.

I’m Jessica O’Flannagan, LMSW, a Certified Grief Professional with a post-graduate certificate in play therapy. I provide genuine, down-to-earth support for children, teens, and young adults navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, family stress, life transitions, and the messy in-between moments that can feel overwhelming.

My approach is play-based, integrative, and trauma-informed, rooted in connection, safety, and trust—with room for creativity, honesty, humor, and real-life perspective along the way. I believe healing begins when we stop pretending everything is okay and allow ourselves the space to process, grow, and feel truly seen.

I have a special passion for working with individuals and families connected to foster care, adoption, complex family dynamics, and transitions from intensive outpatient, inpatient, or residential levels of care. As someone currently under supervision for clinical licensure, Registered Play Therapist certification, and addictions counseling certification, while also pursuing advanced training in ADHD and trauma, I bring a wide range of knowledge and perspectives into my work.

Most importantly, I tailor therapy to each individual child and family, meeting clients where they are and partnering with them to help reach their goals. Above all, I strive to create a space where clients feel respected, supported, and accepted exactly as they are.

When I’m not in the therapy room, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my family and getting lost in a good book.

Erica's bio:
Life holds its own set of challenges, and you do not have to face them alone. Guided by a heart of compassion and care, I would love to walk through life’s trials and difficulties alongside you.

My name is Erica Schlender and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) following a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Colorado Christian University. During my previous careers in teaching and agriculture, I was made aware of how necessary it is to have someone you can turn to, to release the burden of your own worries and concerns and not feel as though you have to shoulder them alone. This is why I have embraced the field of counseling, so as to be that “someone” for others.

Throughout my professional practice, I have met with individual clients of all ages who have felt weighed down by anxiety, stress, depression, grief, addiction, relationship issues, unexpected life transitions, body sensitivity issues, and who were questioning their faith. I strive to create a collaborative, nurturing environment for clients using a person-centered approach. My integrative style to therapy has involved theories such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in addition to Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy, Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Grief Therapy.

In the busyness of life, I believe in creating a space for you where you may feel seen, heard, and understood. I would feel honored in providing you with a place for self-discovery, to uncover compassion towards yourself while embracing all of who you are, within the means of a non-judgmental environment.
