The approach to navigating trauma demands respect, grace, and persistence. Julianne's diligence in these areas set her apart in the world of therapy. The most difficult points of healing become possible once a client experiences her warmth, acceptance, and knowledge. Each client represents an opportunity to embrace pain and transform their experiences from hopelessness to encouragement. Julianne's passion for working with first responders has given many in our community an opportunity to heal through some of the most difficult moments of their lives. As a mother, she also understands the challenges faced in early parenthood and has a special gauge for embracing postpartum struggles.

Today is National Employee Appreciation Day, and we want to take a moment to recognize two people who truly keep the heartbeat of our office steady, Amy and Susan.

For many of our clients, Amy and Susan are the very first voices they hear and the first faces they see when walking through our doors. Often, that first step into counseling comes during one of the most difficult seasons of a person’s life. The warmth, patience, and care they bring to those moments cannot be overstated.

They set the tone for what River City Counseling stands for: compassion, professionalism, and genuine care for the people who trust us with their stories.

Amy and Susan, thank you for the countless ways you support our clients and our clinicians every single day. We are incredibly grateful for you both.

Understanding, compassion, and a desire for client healing, encompass the approach for Cliff in his sessions. Patience is a cornerstone of his approach and an invaluable part of the healing process.
Cliff's work with adults experiencing the struggles of longstanding depression, and the effects on their daily living, give him understanding in the process and guidance towards better quality of life. Trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cliff holds space with disorganized emotion and helps guide clients in understanding the discomfort they find themselves facing.
Cliff continues to be an exceptional model of what quality therapy can do for helping clients get back to the best versions of themselves.

Untangling the Web of S*xual Addiction. Reclaiming Intimacy. Restoring Trust.

Specialties:
• S*xual Addiction
• S*x Positive Therapy
• LGBTQIA+ Affirming Care
• Women’s S*xual Trauma

Renowned practitioner Patrick Carnes once said:
“A person who never learned to trust confuses intensity with intimacy, obsession with care, and control with security.”

Healing begins when we gently begin separating those wires.

As a CSAT (Certified S*xual Addiction Therapist), Katelyn helps clients organize unhealthy coping patterns and create meaningful, sustainable change. Her work within the LGBTQIA+ community has been a beacon for individuals seeking acceptance, graciousness, and true healing.

Recovering from s*xual trauma requires patience, persistence, and the ability to build organic trust. Katelyn’s therapeutic style embodies those qualities and clients quickly sense her genuine care and passion for their success.

If healing feels overwhelming, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Snowpocalypse check-in ❄️

If you’re coming out of the last week feeling a little off — you’re not alone.

A lot of people are saying the same thing:
tired but restless, unmotivated but ready to get out of the house, craving routine while also resisting it.

That’s actually very normal.

Being inside for days on end can throw off our internal rhythm more than we realize. Our bodies and brains adapt to stillness… and then struggle when it’s time to restart.

So if today feels slow, scattered, or emotionally foggy — nothing is “wrong” with you.

Take it one step at a time.
Ease back into your routine.
Give yourself a little grace as things thaw — both outside and inside.

We’re here, and we’re glad to be getting back to normal alongside you. 🤍

❄️ Office Closure Notice ❄️

Due to unsafe road conditions and in observation of local school closings, our office will be closed on Wednesday, January 28th.

We had anticipated being up and running; however, Mother Nature hasn’t quite decided to let these roads clear off just yet. The safety of our clients and staff is always our top priority, and we want everyone to remain safe.

We truly appreciate your understanding and patience as we navigate these weather conditions together.

Please stay safe and take care. 💙
