Welcome

You may never have expected to be searching for a therapist. Some clients have expressed feeling like they wanted to handle things  themselves, but realized that it wasn’t working for themselves, or their families. 


You don’t have to struggle silently with the lows any longer. Follow your intuition. We provide therapy for trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship conflict and more. 


We work with individual adults, children, teens, couples and families. 


Nestled in the heart of a charming neighborhood, our healing house on Water Street offers a sanctuary for those seeking whole-person healing. 


Our mission is to provide a nurturing environment where individuals can embark on a transformative journey toward reclaiming their lives, energy, and voices. 

We believe in the power of connection, peace, harmony, and healing.


Our Therapists

Our team consists of five dedicated therapists, each bringing unique expertise and compassion to their practice. 


They are committed to guiding and supporting you through every step of your healing journey. 


With a focus on personalized care, our therapists employ a variety of therapeutic approaches to meet your individual needs.


What We Bring to Your Healing Journey

The work we do at Healing House is woven from many threads, all offered with care and deep respect for your story. 


In each session, we bring a blend of warmth, clinical insight, and practical support that meets you where you are. 


We believe healing can be both tender and empowering, and we hold space for both the hard work and the hopeful moments. 


What follows are some of the elements that shape the healing experience here.


  • Wonder — A steady curiosity that helps us stay open to what is emerging in your healing process. We don't assume we already know! 


  • Skillfulness - Most of our therapists each bring over two decades of professional practice, along with the wisdom that comes from real life and real relationships. 


  • Gentleness — A compassionate pace that invites safety, trust, and kindness toward yourself.


  • Self-compassion — Support for meeting yourself with more patience, care, and understanding.


  • Understanding your brain-body connection — We teach bits of neuroscience so you can get to know how your nervous system works and why your body responds the way it does.


  • Practical skills for home — Tools and techniques you can take with you and use in everyday life.


  • Creativity — Space for expression, flexibility, and new ways of seeing yourself and your life. We draw on your own creativity and bring ours too. 


  • Growth mindset — Encouragement to notice progress, stay curious, and keep moving forward with grounded hope.


  • Authenticity — A commitment to showing up honestly and helping you feel safe doing the same.


  • Laughter — "You'll hear laughter in our halls—it's not all crying!"


  • Resourcefulness — Support for finding what helps, what steadies you, and what works in real life.


  • Honoring your spiritual nature — Respect for the deeper sense of meaning, connection, and inner wisdom that may be part of your path.


  • The legacy of Dr. Sophia Hemstreet — Dr. Hemstreet was the original owner of this historic home, an osteopath who practiced with wisdom, touch, and support right here where we gather today. Her spirit of healing and commitment to this community lives on in these rooms, held sacred for all who seek wholeness here.


Each therapist is an independent practitioner.
