Our Team
Emilee Landreth
You spend a lot of time taking care of everyone else. Therapy can be a place where you don’t have to.
I’m Emilee, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate with a Master of Social Work from Tulane University, where I specialized in Disaster and Collective Trauma. My clinical foundation is rooted in trauma-informed care, and I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, grief, PTSD, chronic stress, and major life transitions.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent years as a first responder working in 9-1-1 emergency communications in both Durham and Western North Carolina. I understand the unique pressures of work built around responsibility, repeated exposure to crisis, and the expectation that you will keep functioning regardless of what the last call—or the last shift—asked of you.
I have a particular passion for working with first responders, healthcare professionals, military members, and others who spend much of their lives taking care of other people. My work with these communities includes critical incident exposure, cumulative trauma, burnout, moral injury, chronic operational stress, and the difficulty of transitioning between who you need to be on the job and who you want to be when you go home.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, practical, and sometimes a little unconventional. I integrate multiple evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches. Rather than simply focusing on eliminating difficult thoughts or feelings, our work may involve understanding where they came from, what they are trying to protect, and how to build a life that has room for both the hard things and the things that matter to you.
I am trained in Critical Incident Stress Management and provide support and debriefings following crisis events. I am also pursuing advanced training in Brainspotting and the Safe and Sound Protocol to continue expanding my work in trauma processing and nervous-system-informed care.
My path into this work has also given me a deep appreciation for people navigating chronic illness, caregiving, major health changes, and lives that do not always fit neatly into traditional expectations. I believe therapy works best when you do not have to minimize, perform, or explain away the complicated parts of your experience.
My goal is to provide a safe, grounded space where you can understand what you have been carrying, reconnect with your resilience, and develop practical tools for moving forward in a way that feels sustainable and meaningful to you.

Angela Rose
You don’t have to explain the job to me—I’ve lived it.
With more than 20 years on the front lines of 911 emergency communications, experience leading tactical dispatch, and eight years running an agency Peer Support team, I understand firsthand the physical, emotional, and personal toll of chronic operational stress.
Hard calls don’t always end when the shift does. Critical incidents, cumulative trauma, hypervigilance, burnout, disrupted sleep, and the strain of shift work can follow you home and affect relationships, family life, and your ability to feel like yourself off the clock.
Therapy should be a place where you don’t have to translate the culture, explain why a call mattered, or filter your reality for someone who may not understand it.
As a Master of Social Work (MSW), Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (LCSW-A), ICISF-certified Peer Support Specialist, and active military spouse, my clinical work is especially focused on supporting the frontline and military communities.
My approach is grounded, direct, practical, and down-to-earth. I integrate trauma-informed care with evidence-based approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) principles, Motivational Interviewing (MI), Psychological First Aid (PFA), and person-centered care.
Whether you are a dispatcher, law enforcement officer, firefighter, paramedic, active-duty service member, veteran, or military spouse, my goal is to give you a confidential space to process what you’ve experienced, understand how it is affecting you, and develop practical tools that support resilience, recovery, and a sustainable life both on and off the clock.

Martyna Crossman
Sometimes understanding what’s happening between us starts with understanding what’s happening within us.
I’m Martyna, a Clinical Mental Health Counseling graduate student at Liberty University. Before beginning my counseling career, I served the Triangle community as a career firefighter for seven years, and I continue to teach EMS at a local community college.
My professional experiences have given me firsthand insight into the demands of first responder and helping professions—the stress, responsibility, unpredictable schedules, and experiences that can affect not only the individual doing the work, but also their relationships and family life.
As a partner and mother to two high-schoolers, I’m also continually reminded that curiosity can create opportunities for deeper connection with the people closest to us. Together, my academic training, professional background, and personal experiences have shaped a counseling approach centered on understanding ourselves, our relationships, and the patterns that influence how we connect with others.
My goal as a counselor is to support individuals and couples navigating demanding careers, life transitions, relationship challenges, disconnection, and other experiences that can leave us feeling stuck. I believe meaningful change often begins by developing a deeper understanding of ourselves, the people we love, and the patterns we bring into our relationships.
My approach is collaborative, curious, and relationship-focused. I draw from evidence-based approaches including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Narrative Therapy, and Attachment Theory. My work with couples is also informed by Level 2 training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, along with additional Gottman training in Treating Affairs and Trauma.
I view therapy as an invitation to gain new perspectives, ask better questions, and develop a more accurate understanding of ourselves and our relationships. My goal is to provide a space where you feel heard, understood, and safe as we explore whatever has brought you to therapy.
