Cam Chapman, LPC/MHSP
Populations: Adults, Individual Counseling
Topics: Trauma, Autoimmune/chronic illness, Substance use
Cam works primarily with adults and similar to most counselors is well versed in addressing trauma, depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief, and more. His specific areas of expertise include living with autoimmune disorders, substance use concerns, processing trauma, and managing anxiety.
Working with Cam, you can expect to cultivate compassion, curiosity, clarity, and balance in your approach to current challenges.
Professionally Cam approaches therapy using modalities such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic practices, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Personally, Cam exudes warmth and kindness. Something that his clients report creates an immediate sense of calm and safety.
The most rewarding moments for Cam are when clients find healing, become more present with themselves, and connect both internally and externally in meaningful ways. These breakthroughs can be transformative, helping clients to move forward in their personal growth.
Cam is inspired by the work of Gabor Maté and Richard Schwartz, often incorporating mindfulness-based exercises into sessions. “The Myth of Normal” by Maté and “No Bad Parts” by Schwartz are foundational texts that influence Cam’s therapeutic approach.

Emily Key, LPC/MHSP
Populations: Adolescents, Couples
Topics: Eating/food concerns, Trauma, Relationships, Body Image
Emily believes in counseling from a holistic approach emphasizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. She views clients’ concerns as an indication of unaddressed and perhaps maladaptive coping patterns rather than fundamental, personal dysfunction.
Using a combination of Internal Family Systems therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, she helps clients make sense of their concerns and clarify a direction forward.
Emily is also trained in the Gottman Method and helps couples navigate conflict, infidelity, parenting, and other relational concerns.
Her areas of specialty include anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and issues related to body image/acceptance. Emily is passionate about supporting individuals as they work to discover and/or reclaim their authentic selves. She does this with a warm, engaging, and friendly personality.
Emily works closely with adolescents, adults, and couples. Like our other providers, she is well versed in helping clients navigate many common concerns. Additionally, she is especially passionate about helping individuals who want to transform their relationship with food, body, and self.
She also enjoys working with couples looking to improve their communication, intimacy, and connection utilizing the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy.
In her practice, Emily’s therapeutic approach integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-based CBT, Polyvagal Theory, somatic interventions, body compassion work, the Gottman Method for couples, and the Health at Every Size and Intuitive Eating frameworks. She hopes her clients feel safe, deeply heard, and empowered during their time together, with a sense of unburdening and equality in the therapeutic space.
As a client you might expect Emily to help you approach ongoing challenges with new compassion, curiosity, and courage—rather than judgment or avoidance. Sessions with Emily are characterized by warmth and gentleness which lays the foundation for curiosity and openness to examine challenging experiences. With these elements in place, Emily shares in the excitement as clarity and hopefulness unfold during sessions.
Emily has observed that people often get stuck because their minds and bodies carry old stories, avoid negative emotions, or rely on protective “parts” that once served them. Working with Emily you can expect to learn how to navigate these obstacles and tap into internal strengths you may not even know exists yet.
When she’s not in the office, Emily loves wandering through antique stores with coffee in hand, working on home restoration projects, gardening, dancing, and simply enjoying time with her husband and kids.
