Her clinical work focuses heavily on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma treatment, emotional regulation, and interpersonal challenges. She has received intensive training in DBT Prolonged Exposure (DBT PE) and Radically Open DBT (RO DBT), and provides both individual therapy and RO DBT skills groups for adolescents and adults.

Outside of the office, Jada prioritizes a “life jacket first” approach to self-care and enjoys hiking, reading, working out, spending time with her pets and friends, trying new restaurants, and catching up on her favorite TV shows.

Poesephus Beauregard

Mr. Poe is our very important (and very adorable) office companion who takes his role of emotional support quite seriously. He can usually be found cozied up on his heated blanket, enjoying a well-earned nap between “important meetings.” Always dressed to impress in his fancy work shirts, he believes every day at the office deserves a little style.

He makes his rounds throughout the day to greet clients and staff with not so quiet hellos and supervision, offering a calming presence just by being nearby. Mr. Poe is a firm believer in balance—work hard, rest harder—and he models this beautifully through his dedication to napping, observing, and offering moral support from his cozy spot.

Whether off duty or not, you’ll find him enthusiastically batting around his toy mice or not so patiently awaiting his favorite Churu treats, which he accepts with great dignity and appreciation. Whether he’s greeting guests, napping like a pro, or reminding everyone to slow down and breathe, Mr. Poe brings comfort, charm, and a little bit of joy to everyone he meets.

Paige Lilley

Outside of work, Paige is endlessly curious and happiest when she has a new plant, hobby, recipe, or idea to explore. She enjoys experimenting in the kitchen, trying out new restaurants, and appreciating a well-made cocktail, always on the lookout for her next favorite experience. With a deep love of plants, she tends to a collection of over 300, often adding, propagating, or rearranging something at home.

At home, Paige lives with her husband, two dogs, and four cats, including Mr. Poe, who is also part of the office family. Her pets keep life active and entertaining, and she enjoys the mix of chaos, comfort, and companionship they bring to her day-to-day routine.
