Support Team

Hi! We’re the friendly faces behind the scenes, helping make sure your experience at our practice is smooth, welcoming, and supportive from the very first contact.

Our goal is to make sure the administrative side of therapy never stands in the way of your healing journey.

Isabella Kurasz, B.A. (she/her)
Billing Manager


“As the Billing Manager, I can help explain your insurance coverage, deductibles, copays, and coinsurance clearly. I want you to get the most out of your insurance benefits and address any billing questions. This way, you can focus on therapy, not financial stress and confusion.”

Olivia Cowling (she/her)
Administrative Assistant


“As the Administrative Assistant, I’m handling the behind-the-scenes, so your healing can take center stage! Have a question about scheduling, billing, or paperwork? Ask me anything; no question is too small.”

Cassie Devine, B.A. (she/her)
Client Services Coordinator


“I know that reaching out for therapy can be the hardest step. As the person you’ll first talk to when you contact us, I am happy to guide you through this process by listening, making sure you’re at ease, and giving honest recommendations on which therapist might be the best fit.”

Whether you’re reaching out for the first time or you’ve been with us for a while, we’re here to make sure you feel heard, respected, and cared for every step of the way.
