Hi! My name is Adrienne Cary and I am so excited to meet you! I know that taking the first step into therapy can be overwhelming and I would be grateful to walk alongside you and your family on this journey!

Hi! My name is Sean Oatis. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families for over 16 years. My journey has seen me in various positions and capacities of service to the individuals and families I work with. Some include the leader of recreational activities, Special Olympics coach and coordinator, ABA therapist, school counselor and activities director, skills coach, and ultimately, marriage and family therapist. Working primarily with children and adolescents over the last ten years, I developed a new understanding. Children and teens ( and all in between) are incredibly astute and aware of their worlds but often unsure how to express that awareness. Additionally important is engaging and supporting the families of the child or teen in services! As a marriage and family therapist, I approach therapy with the understanding we all exist in multiple systems and relationships. The interactions experienced in these systems and relationships inform how a person views their world.
