OUR
TEAM
Clinicians and clients all have their own stories, strengths, and needs. The Fircrest Family is here to walk beside them all. Together we heal, learn, and thrive.
Our desire is to serve our clients and help them toward healing, learning skills, and thriving in their own lives and relationships. Our goal is to alleviate the potential for burnout, so that our clinicians can serve individuals and families more effectively. We do this by first empowering our clinicians to thrive in a community work environment of connectivity, mutual support, and education for healthy boundaries, business practices, and networking.
Why See an Intern?
Seeing an intern at a behavioral health clinic offers cost-effective, personalized care with fresh perspectives and cutting-edge techniques, all under the supervision of seasoned professionals. This approach not only ensures tailored, culturally competent treatment and continuity of care but also supports the growth of future therapists, making quality mental health care more accessible to all.

If you're tired of feeling stuck in a cycle of pain and frustration, you're in the right place. I specialize in helping teens and adults like you who are ready to break free from old patterns and thrive.

Jackson Goforth, BA
Counseling Intern
My goal as a Therapist is to not only meet you and/or your loved ones where you are at, but to offer new perspectives, life skills, and ask intentional questions that help you wrap your mind around the bigger concepts. Being a “Creative,” myself, I value the use of creative expression in the healing process.

Words can be hard! Finding the "right" ones or knowing where to start can be a struggle and many experience barriers to spoken communication. My goal is to provide a therapeutic experience that goes beyond words. My approach to therapy is grounded in meeting people where they are, without judgment or preconceptions.
Bethie Cummings, MA, LMHC

If you’re struggling with anxiety, migraines, sensory processing, sleep issues, or trauma then you know how overwhelming day-to-day life can be. Will you make it to that special celebration, or will you be alone in a dark room? Will you ever find healing from the trauma that impacts your body, mind, and emotions? To do that, your brain needs to find a new way to function.

I’ll bring my knowledge and experience to help you find that calm and clarity. As you go on this journey, I’ll provide a warm and welcoming space to explore those difficult thoughts and feelings.

A crisis can be scary, but it’s also an opportunity to find a new way forward. If you are desperate for a change, you’re in the right place! I work with people facing compulsive behaviors, substance use issues, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, an unhealthy relationship with food, anxiety, depression, challenges at school, and difficulty forming or maintaining friendships.

Contracting Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Is it possible to be burned out by academic and personal stress before you reach your thirties? 100% YES! Do you feel like people don’t understand you due to struggling with ADHD, or loving all things in geek culture? These struggles often lead to feeling on edge or restless about stress, unresolved grief, and a lack of healthy boundaries.
