Danielle Street, CSW, TCM
As a Clinical Social Worker, I’m passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges with compassion, clarity, and practical tools for healing. I work with teens, adults, and couples facing a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other emotional or relational struggles.
My approach to therapy is collaborative, respectful, and tailored to your unique needs. Drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, and motivational interviewing—as well as other evidence-based methods—I create a safe and supportive space where meaningful change can happen. Whether you’re working through past trauma, managing daily stress, or seeking deeper connection in your relationships, I’m here to support your growth and resilience.
Lisa Bosley, CSW, TCM
With over 25 years of experience in the social services field, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of individuals and communities. I’ve always held close the words of Aristotle: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” I believe that every pursuit—especially the pursuit of healing—is worthy of our best effort.
I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Louisville and have dedicated my career to making a meaningful difference in the lives of those I serve. I am a lifelong learner, always seeking to grow both personally and professionally so I can better support and empower others on their journeys.
It is an honor to be invited into the healing process—mind, body, and spirit. I am continually humbled by the courage of those who take the first steps toward change, and I look forward to walking alongside you as you move toward greater wholeness.
