At Calmly Centered Therapy, we’re excited to have Mike McKay, LSW on our team. With training in both physical and mental health, Mike brings a truly integrated perspective to the therapy room.

He enjoys incorporating the somatic side of healing — helping teens, adults, and couples understand how the body and mind work together. By weaving in mindfulness and body-based awareness, Mike supports clients in reconnecting with themselves in a grounded, practical way.

His whole-person approach recognizes that healing isn’t just about thoughts — it’s about nervous system regulation, physical awareness, emotional insight, and meaningful connection.

When we care for the whole self, real and lasting change becomes possible. 💛

At Calmly Centered Therapy, we’re honored to have Karli Ortmann, LPC on our team. Karli is deeply skilled at helping individuals heal from trauma and narcissistic abuse, offering a space that is both empowering and safe.

She understands how trauma can impact self-worth and identity — and she gently guides clients toward reclaiming their voice, rebuilding confidence, and recognizing their inherent value.

A core part of Karli’s approach is helping clients rediscover their strengths and gifts — the parts of themselves that may have been overshadowed by painful experiences. Her work is about more than healing; it’s about transformation and stepping into who you were always meant to be.

You are worthy. You are capable. And your gifts matter. 💛

We’re still feeling grounded and inspired after an incredible Equine Therapy Experience for Mental Health Professionals 🐴✨

Three of our clinicians — Erin Mister, Maria Michl, and Audrey DaMore — spent the morning at Heavenly Horses in Richmond, learning through hands-on, ground-based equine work.

This experiential workshop deepened our understanding of:

• The healing power of horses
• Nervous system regulation
• Healthy boundaries
• Emotional awareness and attunement
• Relational safety and trust

Horses have a remarkable ability to reflect what’s happening internally — helping us become more present, regulated, and aware. The experience reinforced how powerful somatic and experiential approaches can be in the therapeutic process.

We’re so grateful for opportunities to continue growing as clinicians — and we’re especially excited about future collaborations with Heavenly Horses to bring equine-based experiences to our Calmly Centered clients. Stay tuned for upcoming events! 💛🐴

Jenna Abney is the heart and creative spirit behind Calmy Centered Therapy. As our Hackmatack property manager and the warm, compassionate voice answering your very first call, Jenna helps clients feel safe and welcomed from the very beginning.

If you’ve ever walked the property, you’ve experienced her care. The intentional, grounding signs thoughtfully placed throughout the grounds? That’s Jenna. Each one is set with purpose — gentle reminders to pause, breathe, reflect, and feel supported before you even step inside.

She maintains the landscaping across the entire property, tending to the beauty and calm of our nature-centered space. Inside, she ensures our environment is just as nurturing — keeping our offices clean, peaceful, and ready to hold the important work happening within them.

From the first phone call… to the path you walk… to the space you sit in — Jenna truly does it all, and she does it with heart.

At Calmly Centered Therapy, we’re grateful for Jennifer Boston, LCSW and the grounded, inspiring presence she brings to her work.

Jennifer is passionate about helping clients live more simply and mindfully — especially when facing depression and anxiety. She teaches practical, sustainable tools that help quiet the mental noise, reduce emotional highs and lows, and create a steadier, more peaceful way of living.

Her approach isn’t about doing more — it’s about doing less, with intention. Through mindfulness, clarity, and meaningful shifts in perspective, Jennifer empowers her clients to build a life that feels calm, manageable, and aligned.

Healing doesn’t have to feel chaotic. A steady, simple life is possible. 💛

At Calmly Centered Therapy, we’re proud to have Georgia Eger, LCSW on our team. Georgia is passionate about helping individuals rediscover their confidence — especially during life’s biggest transitions.

Whether you’re navigating a career shift, relationship changes, motherhood, grief, or simply feeling unsure of your next chapter, Georgia creates a steady, compassionate space to help you reconnect with who you are and who you’re becoming.

She believes that transitions don’t have to feel isolating. In fact, one of her deepest passions is reducing loneliness in the world — helping clients feel seen, understood, and supported as they build meaningful connection with themselves and others.

You don’t have to figure it all out alone. 💛

There’s something powerful about slowing down long enough to notice the sky changing colors. 🌅

At Calmly Centered Therapy, we believe healing often begins the same way — by pausing, noticing, and allowing.

Our clinician Maria Michl, LPC, offers Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) — an approach that helps you stop fighting your thoughts and feelings and instead learn how to make space for them while moving toward the life you truly value.

ACT isn’t about “fixing” you.
It’s about helping you:
✨ Accept what’s outside your control
✨ Untangle from overwhelming thoughts
✨ Commit to actions aligned with your values

Growth doesn’t happen by pushing feelings away — it happens by gently turning toward them.

If you’re ready to build a life that feels more grounded and intentional, we are here to help. ✨

Join us March 2nd at 1pm as we welcome Lamarr Magnus, professor of Human Performance and Kinesiology at Malcolm X College, longtime MBSR instructor, and yoga educator. Currently pursuing his doctorate in Educational Psychology at UIC, Lamarr blends deep academic knowledge with a passion for teaching stillness and mindful living.

His research centers on mindfulness and cardiovascular wellness in African American and Latine youth, and he’s developing a new course, Reflective Mind: Adventures in Meditation, launching Spring ’26.

We’re excited to learn and “nerd out” with him!

Evenings are for slowing down.
For exhaling.
For tending to what didn’t get space during the day.

✨ Calmly Centered Therapy offers evening sessions ✨
Because healing doesn’t only happen between 9–5.

If your days are full of work, caregiving, or just surviving—your mental health still deserves a seat at the table (or the couch).

📍 Cozy, grounding space
🕯️ Thoughtful, personalized therapy
🌙 Appointments available in the evening

You don’t have to rush your healing.
We’ll meet you where you are.

A day like this is a gentle reminder that change is always coming. ☀️ Even with snow still on the ground, the sunshine at Hackmatack has us feeling hopeful for the season ahead.

Getting outside, slowing down, and soaking in nature can do wonders for your mental health. Where are you finding moments of calm today?

Big emotions can feel overwhelming — especially for children who are still learning how to understand and express what’s happening inside.

In a recent session, our child therapist Erin Mister helped a client bring those intense feelings to life by creating their own “angry monsters.” Through creativity and play, children can safely explore emotions, build awareness, and learn that even the biggest feelings can be managed.

Therapy doesn’t always look like talking — sometimes it looks like crayons, googly eyes, and the courage to face what feels scary. ❤️
