Hi, I’m Kaylie.
Let’s Make Sense of the Overwhelm—Together.
Life can be overwhelming, leaving you tangled in a mess of emotions, fears, and uncertainties. Even with your natural strengths and resilience, navigating challenges—whether a major life change, relationship struggles, or a mix of everything—can feel daunting.
I’m here to help you untangle that mess, uncover the patterns shaping your thoughts and behaviors, and move toward a more authentic, fulfilling life.
As a therapist, I bring warmth, engagement, and a genuine, accepting presence. I believe in creating a safe space where trust and hope can grow—where you feel both supported and challenged in meaningful ways. Using metaphors and storytelling, I help make sense of the complexities of your inner world, empowering you to use your strengths to move forward.
And if you’re not sure where to start? That’s okay. We’ll figure it out together.
Laura Young, LPC (they/them)
Hi, I’m Laura.
Let’s Start Here and Now.
Feeling overwhelmed, low, or out of control with your emotions? I’m here to help you process these feelings, uncover their roots, and build tools to live more freely and comfortably.
With an MA in Art Therapy and Counseling and a background in Fine Arts and Psychology, I use a thoughtful, creative approach to guide you. At Thrive Ahead Co., we’ll explore your emotions safely and work toward clarity and confidence.
You may feel stuck, exhausted, or lost in caring for others while neglecting yourself. Together, we’ll break down barriers, focus on your needs, and rediscover joy and balance.
Sessions blend traditional therapy and creativity, allowing you space to express and grow. I’ll meet you where you are and move at your pace.

Empowering You to Thrive with Confidence and Clarity
As an Occupational Therapist, I’m here to help you navigate the unique challenges of living with ADHD and other forms of neurodiversity. My approach is rooted in understanding who you are and where you want to go, and I’m dedicated to helping you find the clarity, strength, and empowerment you’re seeking.
With a strong background in the past with both acute care and adapted education, I bring a wealth of experience in assessing needs, planning personalized treatments, and working closely with clients to track progress. My experience has taught me the importance of collaboration, whether it’s with clinical teams or directly with you, to ensure that your journey is both supported and transformative.

Hi, I’m Michelle.
A Steady Presence in a World That Moves Fast
From the moment we begin working together, my hope is that you feel grounded, supported, and truly seen. I know how vulnerable it can feel to start this kind of work, so I bring warmth, curiosity, and a steady presence to every session. Sometimes that means beginning with something familiar or lighthearted; other times, it means gently making space for what feels heavy. I believe occupational therapy can hold both depth and ease – and that feeling safe doesn’t mean we have to take everything too seriously all the time.
Kiley Gregory, RDN (she/her)
Hi, I’m Kiley.
Nourishing Your Body, Mind, and Wellbeing.
My passion for nutrition is rooted in the belief that how we nourish our body has a direct impact on our vitality and overall well-being.
I understand that each person is wonderfully unique, which is why I believe in the importance of personalized nutrition counseling that considers your specific needs, preferences, and lifestyle. I recognize that discussing nutrition and personal health can sometimes be intimidating.
My primary goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, valued, and understood.
