Tri-Star Counseling
Helping You Find Balance with Quality Therapy Solutions
Hi, I'm Brent Metcalf, LCSW
I am a friendly, funny, supportive therapist who can help you rise above what you are going through. I care for those experiencing high stress, excessive worry, and feeling overwhelmed in life.
What makes me different? I make almost anyone feel at ease. People tell me that they can let their guard down around me.
Hi, I'm Latonia (Tonia) Collie, LMSW
I am an empathetic, compassionate, and comedic individual. I care for those dealing with stress, worry, difficulty dealing with life changes, grief, and feeling overwhelmed in navigating the shifting gears of life.
What makes me different: I am one of a kind for sure. I operate on a high frequency, but at the same time possess a calming and nurturing effect. I honor the individuals I spend time with in session by building rapport and offering emotional and social support. I look forward to working with you in the future.
Hi, I'm Katie Metcalf, LMSW
As a master’s level social worker and therapist, I blend professional expertise with personal experience to guide teens and women in self-discovery and empowerment. Using methods like CBT and ACT, I focus on enhancing strengths and promoting well-being in a relaxed, nonjudgmental setting. My goal is to empower clients to lead fulfilling lives true to themselves.
Hi, I'm Ben Wagner, LPC-MHSP
