Jen Mossefin, LCSW, LCAS, CCS-I
EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist and CIT (she/her)
Waitlist for New Clients
I have a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from UNC- Chapel Hill with a special focus on adult mental health and substance abuse. I really enjoy supporting clients as they work through Self-Worth Issues, Trauma and Coping Skills. I also have experience working with Substance Use Disorders, Eating Disorders, Anxiety, Phobias and Mood Disorders.
I work with individuals across the gender and sexuality spectrum, and am happy to provide letters for gender affirming medical care. My therapeutic philosophy includes an integrated approach, using mindfulness, specifically Mindful Self-Compassion, working with the body/mind connection, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I really enjoy working with other therapists, and have strong compassion and wonder at the resilience and hope that are possible for each of us.

Chandra Yoder Aikawa, MSW, LCSWA EMDR Trained
End of Life Doula
(she/ her)
Waitlist for New Clients
I have a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Columbia University, with a concentration in clinical practice with children and families. My background and interests include work in domestic violence, family court issues, complex trauma, issues related to aging, grief and loss, medical social work, postpartum support, and support around the end of life. I’m interested in supporting parents in the transition to parenthood, as well as in the other transitions and challenges that occur throughout the life span of parenting. I’m also trained as an end of life doula for both people and companion animals, and am particularly interested in providing support in processing grief around pet loss.
I am EMDR trained, and my therapeutic approach is informed by a strengths-based perspective, a person-centered philosophy, and a continued striving for awareness of intersectional, environmental and systemic factors that come into play. I believe that therapy is a partnership, and I take a warm, nonjudgmental, supportive and collaborative approach to working together.

Jami Regan, M.A., LCMHCA
EMDR Trained
(she/ her)
Accepting New Clients
I believe the question is not, “What’s wrong with you?”, but rather, “What happened to you?” Perhaps you have been wounded by someone significant, or there was an event that divided your life into a “before” and “after”. It can be quite adaptive to create strategies to avoid feeling the pain that is within us. But, these strategies can also take us further away from ourselves; they can limit and inhibit us. We can find ourselves entrenched in unhelpful behaviors, unpleasant narratives, unfulfilling relationships and an overall feeling of overwhelm or discontent.
My foundation is laid in acceptance commitment therapy (ACT) and internal family systems (IFS). I utilize EMDR and somatic/mindfulness techniques when we need to get beyond words, and into the places where pain is more deeply entrenched.
I believe that everyone is doing the best they can, and want you to feel welcome to show up exactly as, and where, you are. Together we will work to build self-awareness and insight, self-compassion, connection to self and others, and connection to the present and possible future. Wherever you are is the right place to begin your journey towards healing.
I am in network with BCBS PPO Plans, Aetna, Aetna Duke Select, and the State Health Plan.

Allyse Buck, MSW, LCSWA, LCASA
EMDR Informed
(she/they)
Accepting New Clients
Hi! I’m dually licensed as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (LCSW-A), and Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist Associate (LCAS-A). I believe in using a strengths-based approach with clients to help build a sense of self-efficacy and self-worth. I have experience helping families, and individuals ages 9 and up, process and build skills to cope with eating disorders, anxiety and trauma.
While I hope to continue working with people of varying ages and backgrounds, I have specific interest in working through issues of grief, OCD, disordered eating, and exploring gender. I am formally trained in EMDR, and ESFT (Eco-Systemic Structural Family Therapy). My therapeutic practice is grounded in the client-led spirit of Motivational Interviewing. I am CBT, DBT, and Trauma-Informed.
While working with me, we will collaborate to challenge any unhelpful thinking patterns or internalized negative beliefs, while learning to acknowledge and appreciate the “middle grounds” in life. We can work together to focus on the areas in life we can control, and learn to cope with the things we can’t!

I work with all types of people and I particularly welcome fat participants and participants who have diverse genders and sexualities. I am kink and poly affirming.
