About Us

Jennifer Giustra Kozek, MS, LPC, LLC

As a licensed psychotherapist, I assist and guide individuals, couples and families through their life journeys and transitions. Helping during periods of depression, anxiety, substance abuse related issues & teaching how to better manage emotions by helping you 


design more helpful coping strategies.

With over 20+ years of experience my approach to therapy embraces an integration of compassion, intuition, empathy and focusing on clarity and change. I help people to come out of the groove of old thinking and old behavior. I employ several therapeutic modalities throughout treatment including: cognitive, behavioral and psychodynamic therapies.  In addition, I use Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) as well as Hypnotherapy to access your subconscious and deeper part of you – where fear, phobias, trauma and maladaptive coping strategies such as alcohol dependency and other addictive behaviors reside.  

No good teacher uses one approach for every student.  Therefore, I listen attentively and let you formulate your own curriculum.

Jocelyn Pierce, MS, LPC

I understand that life can be challenging, and it's okay to feel overwhelmed sometimes. As your therapist, my main priority is to support and guide you through your healing process. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment where you can freely express your thoughts and feelings without judgment.


Specializing in older teens, young adults with grief, anxiety, and a variety of personal struggles.


During our sessions, we will work together in a collaborative and participatory manner. We'll explore different perspectives, overcome obstacles, confront negative thoughts and beliefs, and gain insight into how cultural factors influence our beliefs and behaviors.


As your therapist, I'm here to lend a listening ear and offer my therapeutic skills to help you find solace and clarity. Together, we will work towards your goals, and I will be here to support you throughout your journey.

I also have experience working with individuals on the Autism spectrum and issues they face as well as challenges caregivers experience.

Rheagan Osteen, MS, LMFT

 

Are you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? Many of the clients I work with are going through life transitions, dealing with stress, anxiety, or unresolved experiences, and are ready to try something deeper than just talking. They’re looking for a space to feel supported, understood, and gently guided toward meaningful change.


I use a compassionate, experiential approach that includes Brainspotting Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and other methods to help process trauma and tailored to your unique needs. These approaches help us go beyond talking, gently exploring the deeper layers of emotion, memory, and inner experience to support lasting healing and greater self-connection.

If you're feeling ready to look within, shift old patterns, and reconnect with your sense of self, therapy can be a powerful place to begin. I’d love to support you on that journey. Reach out if you’re curious to see whether working together feels like the right fit. Telehealth Only

Lisa Pedersen, MS, LPCA

My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. I use a person-centered approach that draws from evidence-based practices such as CBT, DBT, MI, the Gottman Method, and Family Systems to help clients better understand themselves, build coping strategies, strengthen their emotional well-being, and build a more fulfilling life. Working with individuals, couples, and families.

If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance that something in your life isn’t feeling the way you want it to. Maybe you’re overwhelmed, anxious, struggling in your relationships, or going through a transition you didn’t expect. Or maybe you simply have a feeling that you want more for yourself but aren’t sure how to get there. As your therapist, I will provide a space where you can be completely yourself-without judgment; to explore these feelings. In our sessions, we'll explore what you're experiencing, look to understand patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop tools to help you create meaningful and lasting change.


Therapy works best when you feel genuinely heard, respected, and accepted for who you are. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. My role is not to tell you who you should be, but to help you better understand yourself, develop coping strategies, and build the confidence and skills necessary to create the life and relationships you want.


Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but if you're willing to take the first step, we can start wherever you are. You don't need to navigate life’s challenges alone. I would be honored to be part of your journey; to help you feel better equipped to navigate life with greater clarity. Please feel free to contact me for a free 15-minute consultation.
