Bernie Legner, LMFT
Bernie Legner, EdD, LMFT

Dr. Legner's skilled therapy practices specialize in treatments for conditions related to depression, anxiety, PTSD, and the influence of abuse and neglect upon individual, marital and family function. Dr. Legner is especially successful working with adolescents and their families. Dr. Legner employs his unique integration of family systems, narrative, developmental, and attribution theories within a mutual inclusive conversation about clients' hopes, dreams, and yearnings for self and the other most significant people in their life. Hypnosis is a neutral state of attentive concentration freely achieved as the therapist and client work together toward a common goal of deep relaxation. Arriving at this deeply relaxed state frees the clients' mind to acquire new skills and learning. Through the clients' acquired self-hypnosis skills, they can increase emotional calm, quiet an overactive mind, cease smoking, moderate pain level, and enhance self-confidence and a deeper awareness of personal competence.

Troy Willet, MS, LPC

Troy is trained and experienced in a variety of evidenced-based and research-supported approaches to therapy, including two of the top-five treatments for PTSD. Troy’s approach, with both individuals and couples, involves helping clients become aware of energies that have become stuck as a result of trauma, then facilitating the process by which these energies can be cleared.
