Do you have an experience (or several!) that when you think of the memory you still feel a pain spike – a stab of embarrassment, fear, anxiety, panic, or shame? And when these instances come to mind, it is hard to get them out for a while; the images spiral around your brain, your inner-critic comes to life with a helpful “This is your fault, and I told you so!”, and the icky feelings seem to flood your body.

I help individuals identify, process, and release these experiences so they can feel safe, worthy, and capable once again.

Clients come into my office wrestling with disturbances they’ve had weighing them down for years and leave having done the work to process and release those disturbances so they are finally free.

I provide therapy for couples and families, with teenagers or adult children, who experience recurring rupture in their relationships and want to experience lasting healing and resiliency. Instead of being a safe and secure base from which we can explore the world and its challenges, our families and intimate relationships can instead be places of tension, pain, and stress, driving us apart instead of bringing us together. These splintered relationships are lonely and burdensome, often leaving those involved distancing themselves as a means of relief, further deepening the divide and underscoring the grief that comes with once-warm relationships now turned icy. This, compounded with the general challenges that life brings to us, puts us into a state of overwhelm and disconnect.

Through intentional and skillful work, these relationships can be healed and rekindled. Often, the relational challenges that we face are themselves the keys we need to unlock even deeper and more fulfilling connections with each other. This work isn’t easy or comfortable, but in therapy, we can work through complicated feelings and difficult conversations together, ultimately working toward self-sustaining and resilient relationships that strengthen us and make life’s challenges manageable.

I also work with individuals who are experiencing negative or unwanted aspects of their lives which may be complicating their relationships with others or even themselves. This might be suffering from loneliness, depression, anxiety, or even unwanted sexual behaviors. These burdens, on their own, are heavy to bear, but can often multiply with negative feedback cycles in our relationships (or lack of relationships), making them downright unbearable.

Together we can navigate these challenges, building strength-in-self, resilience, and overall well-being that can free us from unwanted behaviors or the debilitating effects of anxiety or depression as well as reconnecting with others in healthy and sustainable ways. Building a meaningful and connected life can begin today!

I utilize a systemic approach to therapy, looking at the whole of the person and their circumstances and relationships in order to bring about lasting change. I draw on Systemic Family Therapy, Gottman Couples Therapy, Prepare/Enrich, Narrative Therapy, ACT, AEDP, and other therapeutic models to tailor an approach that is effective and works for you where you are right now.

If you’re ready to get started, I offer a 20-min consult to see if we are a good fit. I’d love to help you or a member of your family get the help they need to live a more happy and fulfilling life.

When clients come to see me about their relationships, the number one problem I hear is they feel disconnected from their partner and they are lacking effective communication. When there is a breakdown in communication, it is common to feel unheard and disrespected. Specifically with my clients working through infidelity, I often hear feelings of betrayal and grieving the loss of trust.

In my experience, one of the first tools that can help relationships struggling with communication is creating a shared language with definitions of words that are said with one meaning and heard with another. It’s important for partners to feel like they are able to say what they mean and feel heard.

Learning to communicate in a different way can help partners have conversations they never thought they could have, learning to understand each other on a level previously unreached. Being able to communicate more effectively has helped partners develop a deeper appreciation for each other and get to know each other in new and exciting ways.

A lot of people feel like they have to navigate the highs and lows of life on their own. You may feel like you have to ignore the feelings of sadness, anxiety or confusion in order to keep pushing forward. You may find yourself wondering how beneficial therapy can be or if you will benefit from talking to a professional about hurdles you’ve experienced. Some may be worried to show vulnerability in a new space, with a new person and worry that sharing their concerns will make the problems more significant.

I acknowledge that starting a new journey can be scary, especially one like therapy which requires a high amount of exploration, courage, and vulnerability. I view therapy as a collaborative process to ensure that my clients feel less alone in their journeys. I work alongside clients to establish goals and expectations using a holistic, and systemic approach. I ensure my clients that the space I hold is safe and secure by welcoming experiences and emotions while working towards creating solutions together. I create a supportive environment for my clients to openly express any concerns they may have, ensuring a welcoming atmosphere. I recognize that I might be the first person you confide in about certain matters and I approach these disclosures with understanding and openness while making sure everyone is heard. I intentionally make space for the identities clients hold, as well as the relationships around them to further understand the contributing factors.

My goal is to create a warm and empathetic therapeutic relationship where you feel heard, understood, and supported on your journey. I’m committed to creating and providing a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where you can express and explore your feelings openly where we can work through pain together. I would love to help you feel more at ease about entering the world and navigating the hurdles that may arise.

Athena is not accepting new clients at this time but does have openings for clinical supervision (LPC and LMFT licenses).

Athena is the owner and Clinical Director at McCullough Family Therapy.

I specialize in relationship counseling. Most of our emotional wounds come from relationship issues and attachment trauma. In my own life, I struggled to find my voice as a wife and a mother of two children. I had a lot of religious trauma in my upbringing—I grew up in a tightly-controlled environment where I was taught to suppress my own needs and wants. That affected my sense of self deeply. As a result, I know what it’s like to lose yourself in a relationship and forget where your boundaries are, as if you have no voice of your own.

I also know what it’s like to find your voice again and enjoy relationships that are nurturing and empowering. I love helping my clients discover themselves, say all the things they feared to say out loud, and find the strength within them to make changes in their lives.

I believe that people thrive when they are truly and deeply seen and heard for who they are. I want to create a safe space for my clients to tell the truth. I want you to feel safe enough to be vulnerable with the deepest parts of yourself. And most of all, I want to empower you to pursue what fills your life with meaning and purpose.
