Jason Frank, LCMHC-A
Biography
My name is Jason Frank. I have many years of counseling experience in which I’ve helped clients navigate a variety of struggles from everyday stressors to serious emotional distress. Whatever you’re going through, I’m here to provide a listening ear. I like to create a collaborative relationship in which we work together to help you bring to bear your inner resources for change. For many, inner peace is one of the most elusive of emotions. I’ve always been aware of the emotional states of those around me and have been drawn to help people find inner peace and harmony. Therapy can be an avenue to this kind of change and it is my hope that through the work we do together, you can not only come to feel better but to get better and experience lasting change. I work with a wide range of clients with diverse backgrounds, and I am well-versed in addressing many challenges that people face, including anxiety, depression, and difficulties making and keeping friends. I hold a Master’s degree in School Counseling from George Fox University and I am Licensed as a Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate. My therapeutic approach incorporates techniques and concepts from a number of modalities including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and person-centered therapy. When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and baby boy. As a Pacific Northwest native now living in Western NC, the mountains are in my blood so as much as I can, I like to get out and camp, hike, and mountain bike.
Colleen Helton, LCSW-A
Biography
My name is Colleen Helton. I have several years of experience working with children, teens, adults, and older adults facing a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, self-esteem challenges, behavioral concerns, and relationship difficulties. Life can be challenging, and sometimes we all need a supportive space to process our experiences, work through difficulties, and discover new ways to move forward. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (LCSW-A), I am passionate about helping individuals of all ages and abilities feel understood, supported, and empowered. Our time together will focus on your unique needs.
I take a holistic, person-centered approach to therapy, which means I see you as more than a diagnosis or a set of challenges. I believe your experiences, relationships, strengths, values, and goals all play an important role in your well-being. My goal is to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where you can feel comfortable being yourself. I view therapy as a partnership. Together, we can explore patterns that may be holding you back, develop practical coping skills, and work toward meaningful changes that support your well-being and personal growth. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to do it alone. I look forward to joining you on your journey!
