About us

Lindsey Hendrix, M.S., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy Candidate

My therapeutic approach is grounded in empathy, curiosity, and collaboration. As a therapist, I am committed to creating a supportive and compassionate environment where clients feel seen, heard, and understood. I am a therapist candidate with a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, currently providing services to individuals, couples, and families across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, and adults.
Prior to entering clinical practice, I worked as a social worker delivering in-home parenting education and family support services. This work strengthened my trauma-informed perspective and deepened my understanding of family systems, caregiving dynamics, and the impact of stress and adversity on relationships.
I strive to meet clients where they are, honor their strengths, and walk alongside them as they begin or continue their healing journey. Together, we work toward meaningful growth, resilience, and lasting change.

Brandie Reisman, M.ED, Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate, National Certified Counselor

My approach to counseling is trauma-informed, flexible and collaborative. While I have experience supporting student-athletes at the collegiate level, most of my experience has centered on supporting individuals through core mental health concerns including anxiety, stress management, trauma, identity development, and life transitions. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I am also in the process of receiving additional training through Lighthouse focused on play therapy, ADHD, and autism in children and youth. I recently graduated from the University of Oklahoma’s CACREP accredited Clinical Professional Counseling program, where I also engaged in research exploring adventure-based and trauma-informed therapeutic interventions. This blend of clinical experience, specialized training, and research reflects my commitment to providing compassionate, evidence-based care fostering growth and resilience in every client I serve.

Dr. Leisha Tompkins, Licensed Clinical Psychologist

My passion is helping children unfold their greatness and create exceptional life strategies to help them become successful. Specializing in autism, ADHD, and complex anxiety, I offer play therapy and activity-based therapies to help children, teens, and young adults explore their emotions and their world.  In a neurodivergent-affirming setting, your child will learn concrete strategies, and I believe their feelings and behaviors will improve in a positive way!

I graduated with a doctorate in Psychology from an APA-accredited psychology program at the University of Northern Colorado in 2019. I graduated with a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology in 2011 from Northwestern Oklahoma State University. My doctoral fellowship and post-doctoral training occurred at Children’s Hospital of Colorado as well as Denver Public Schools, where I provided assessment, therapy, ABA, and other psychological services at both institutions. My pre-doctoral internship was at Florida State University, where I served children and adolescents at their Multi-disciplinary Center as well as elementary and middle schools within the North Florida community. Additionally, I have peer-reviewed published works related to autism and neurodevelopmental disabilities. I am a married mother to four amazing children, from tween through adults.
