Meet The Team
Jessica Grider, LCSW
I’m a trauma-informed therapist with specialized training and a deep commitment to helping individuals heal from trauma, reconnect with themselves, and move toward meaningful change. I believe that healing happens when we are met with compassion, safety, and the right tools to support both the body and the mind.
My approach integrates a variety of evidence-based and somatic therapies, including:
- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
- Brainspotting
- IFS
- Somatic Experiencing
- DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy)
- CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
- ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)
These methods allow us to work on multiple levels—processing trauma stored in the body, shifting unhelpful thought patterns, improving emotional regulation, and creating space for self-awareness, choice, and growth.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or seeking deeper healing, I offer a grounded and supportive space to explore your experience at your own pace.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. I’m here to walk alongside you on your path to healing.
Ed Owsiany, LCSW-A
I provide therapy for adults and adolescents facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, and the effects of trauma. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel truly heard, understood, and supported—without judgment.
My work as a therapist is shaped by both professional training and real-life experience. As a retired Air Force veteran, I understand the impact of stress, transition, and life’s unexpected challenges. This background allows me to bring a grounded, compassionate, and practical approach to therapy.
I believe healing and growth are possible for everyone. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by daily stress, navigating major life changes, or working through deeper emotional wounds, I will partner with you to uncover your strengths, build effective coping skills, and move toward a life that feels more balanced, resilient, and fulfilling.
Lisa Sauder, CMHC Intern/Graduate Student
I am a Clinical Mental Health Counseling intern and graduate student at Liberty University, and I will be joining Healing Reflections in January 2027. I am a helper at heart, with a background in adult education and 19 years of experience teaching and caring for others through a wide variety of volunteer work.
My approach to counseling is, first and foremost, client-centered, with an emphasis on creating a safe, nonjudgmental, and collaborative therapeutic relationship. I integrate evidence-based practices, skills, and interventions to meet each client’s individual needs and goals for counseling. My experience and interests include trauma-informed care, women’s mental health, grief, and navigating life transitions.
As a mom and military spouse, I have a personal understanding of how challenging both expected and unexpected life transitions can be. I believe our burdens are not meant to be carried alone, and I am committed to walking alongside clients as they navigate life’s challenges and move toward hope, growth, and healing.
