Meet the Team

We’re expanding our team! Our counseling interns are graduate students at Northwestern University and Fairfield University in the final stage of their clinical training, offering therapy sessions under the close supervision of Mieke Stapelberg, LPC. Working with an intern can be a wonderful opportunity to receive high-quality therapy at a lower fee while supporting the next generation of mental health professionals.

  • Archibald—affectionately known as Archie—is our resident therapist dog in training. This chocolate Labrador is as gentle as he is playful, bringing a sense of calm and comfort to everyone he meets. Archie is currently learning how to support clients in sessions through presence, grounding, and unconditional love. When he’s not practicing his therapy skills, you’ll find him exploring the outdoors, playing fetch, or napping in a sunny spot. His goal? To earn his official therapy dog certification and keep making hearts lighter—one wag at a time.

    All sessions with Archie are closely supervised by Mieke Stapelberg, LPC to ensure high-quality, ethical care.
