I am absolutely thrilled to announce that Salt and Cypress Counseling has expanded to a group practice!

We've got two more therapists on board offering sessions for ages ranging from pr***en and up!

As part of this expansion I have really wanted to embrace a nature-based approach to therapy and I have been lucky enough to find a couple of therapists that are just as passionate about this work as I am.

Alex Worth LCSW-A Will be offering sessions virtually, in person in our midtown office and outdoors. She has a special passion for horticulture therapy and nature based work! She enjoys working with pr***ens, teens, and college aged adults.

Jackie Sabella LCSW-A will be offering services mostly virtually or outdoors with limited office availability. She has a passion for working with adults dealing with depression and anxiety. She would also like to welcome clients that are supporters of loved ones navigating addiction, educators, and those experiencing personality disorders.
