Leanne Lemire, MSW, LMSW, holds a Master's of Social Work degree from Smith College School for Social Work.  She has a down-to-earth, soft, yet direct demeanor which creates a safe trusting environment that allows clients to heal and make the changes they so desperately seek.

Leanne's passion is treating adult survivors of childhood trauma.  Leanne believes that inside every adult that was abused or traumatized as a child are the feelings of the child that once was. The child may still be waiting to be comforted, rescued, and protected.

Survivors or trauma often feel stuck, hopeless, and helpless just as they did during the traumatic event. Leanne empowers adult and adolescent clients to honor the survivor within themselves as they reclaim their lives. She helps clients to understand the trauma response, build skills to live more in the present moment, and soothe themselves when faced with difficult emotions or triggers.  This allows clients to finally feel free as their painful past no longer controls their present day life. 

Leanne is highly skilled in treating clients with histories of physical, sexual, or emotional abuse; grief/loss issues, end of life issues, depression, anxiety, self esteem, relationship issues, weight issues, and just feeling overwhelmed with all that life brings! She is also committed to her own healing and personal growth. Leanne believes that we all have the ability to create change, heal, and move forward in our lives.

Leanne is currently accepting new clients and takes only private pay and sliding scale fee.  She is available Thursday afternoon/evenings and has Saturday appointments as well.

Moses Cole, Reiki Master, Holistic Life Coach.


As the son of a Baptist minister, Moses’ call to service came early. Moses was involved in every aspect of the church and its role in the community. The most powerful and pertinent message that Moses took from this experience was that of the power and inclusiveness of divine love. To Moses, this experience and energy of divine love became the foundation of healing and Being, connectedness and living a content life of fulfillment and happiness.
 
Moses’ life has since been a journey of discovery and self-healing as he searches to deepen his connection to and understanding of divine love. This journey has led him to study and learn from many religions and spiritual traditions and cultures. Throughout this process, teachers connected to the healing power of divine love appear at just the right moment in time whether they be Buddhist, Hindu, Sufi, Christian, Jewish, Toltec, one of the many diverse yet singularly similar indigenous traditions of North and South America, or any number of other religions and traditions. Eventually, Moses was led to spend extensive time in the Peruvian Amazon working with healers who facilitated an expansive deepening of his connection with Creation and the Creator, who is the source of divine love. Moses has discovered that this is a journey that traverses the lifespan and is passionate about discovering the mystery that will unfold with each new step and each new day in both his own life and in the lives of others.
 
Moses has worked for fifteen years facilitating both adolescents and adults with the discovery of their purpose and with progressing meaningfully towards their goals and potential. He is a Reiki practitioner who will soon be a Master Teacher of Reiki. He is committed to continuing to discover and learn diverse modalities and traditions in order to continue the facilitation of his and our own healing and self-realization which is intrinsically connected and reciprocal. He has born loving witness to the healing and growth of those that are developmentally disabled, physically handicapped, mentally ill, recovering from addiction, newly diagnosed with HIV/ AIDS, and many, many others in various walks and stages of life. He respects the unique path of each individual and would love to support you in the discovery of your passion and life’s purpose as you leap towards your goal of fulfillment, contentment, and happiness. You are not alone! Don’t wait for “someday” - schedule today in order to start your journey of releasing the weight of the past and beginning to manifest “someday” by LIVING in today!
