    she/her/hers

    Mariya is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and co-founder of Willow Recovery Group. She is passionate about creating safe, affirming spaces for people to process trauma, explore their relationship with food and body, and navigate life’s challenges with compassion. Mariya specializes in trauma, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, multicultural experiences, and life transitions, blending evidence-based approaches with a deeply relational style.

    Her clients describe her as warm, grounding, and supportive — someone who walks alongside them through both the hard and hopeful parts of recovery.

    Outside of her clinical work, Mariya enjoys spending time in nature, reading, and being with loved ones (including her pets, who often serve as her best “co-therapists”).

    Kelsey is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (MS, RDN, LDN) and co-founder of Willow Recovery Group. She specializes in eating disorder recovery, intuitive eating, and nutrition counseling that emphasizes compassion and liberation over diet culture. Kelsey has worked across all levels of care, including inpatient, residential, PHP, and IOP, and brings that depth of experience into her work with clients today.

    Her approach is rooted in a Health at Every Size® (HAES) lens, helping clients move toward food freedom, body trust, and sustainable nourishment. Clients appreciate her warmth, humor, and ability to meet them exactly where they are.

    When she’s not with clients, Kelsey can often be found playing volleyball, trying out new restaurants around the city, traveling, and spending time with friends and family.
