Bobbie G. Pugh, LCSW
Bachelors of Family Life and Child Development from Southern Virginia University Masters of Social Work from the University of Utah LCSW 2014 TF-CBT certified 2015 EMDR Trained I founded Crossroads to Wellness in 2016 to create a supportive space where individuals and families can find healing and hope. My vision was to meet people at their personal crossroads, offering guidance and compassion as they move toward lives filled with intention, purpose, and growth. My journey as a parent navigating the challenges of raising children with emotional and neurodivergent needs has deepened my empathy and ability to connect authentically with clients. I began my career working with children and parents in the school system, focusing on academics, emotional and behavioral support, and family support. These experiences shaped my understanding of family dynamics and strengthened my commitment to helping others thrive. Now, as a therapist, I focus on trauma and mood disorders, bringing specialized training in trauma modalities including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and EMDR. I believe every phase of life is an opportunity to heal, grow, and cultivate self-compassion. Outside of work, I love the little things that bring me joy—dancing and singing around the house with my kids, exploring new places, making memories with my family, going on walks, and getting creative with crafts. I strive to bring the same energy and care to my work, helping clients build resilience and rediscover their path to wellness.

Liz Leithead, LCSW
Bachelors of Social Work from University of Utah Masters of Social Work from Utah State University TF-CBT Trained EMDR Trained I found my place with Crossroads to Wellness in 2020. Before that, I experienced firsthand the challenges of parenting a neurodivergent child with ADHD and level 1 Autism. This journey has taught me so much, and I continue to gain clarity and understanding every day. These experiences have profoundly shaped my work as a therapist and my purpose in life. My goal is to help individuals discover who they are, recognizing their inherent goodness, and witnessing their transformation. I believe in working collaboratively, sharing my knowledge and experiences to help clients find hope and healing. I approach therapy with a trauma-informed lens, understanding how the past influences the present and future. Together, we create awareness and empowerment, so you feel more able to choose and act intentionally rather than feeling acted upon. I grew up in the mountains, later moved to the coast, but ultimately found my way back to the mountains I love. When I’m not working, I enjoy hiking, reading, spending time with friends and family, and simply being present in the moment. If we work together, I’ll invite you to embrace moments of mindfulness and learn to simply "be." I look forward to being a part of your journey toward healing and self-discovery.

Bachelors of Marriage and Family Studies from Brigham Young University-Idaho Masters of Social Work from Brigham Young University TF-CBT Trained EMDR Trained Trauma Certified I joined Crossroads to Wellness in May 2021. Before becoming a therapist, I built my expertise in child development, adolescent residential treatment, and home visitation for new parents. I particularly enjoy teaching parenting classes, guided by my belief that parents are the cornerstone of wellness and healthy development for their children. My goal is to increase support for women navigating the transition to motherhood, offering them the tools and encouragement they need during this life-changing journey. I work with children, adolescents, and adults in individual, family, and group therapy settings. My approach is rooted in attachment theory and trauma-informed care, helping clients build secure connections and heal from past wounds. I strive to create a therapeutic space that fosters growth, authenticity, and resilience. My greatest joys include spending time with my children, visiting the Oregon coast, enjoying girls' weekends, savoring a fantastic meal, and relishing a good night’s sleep. A few years ago, my kids and I discovered that Disneyland truly is the happiest place on earth, and we are always planning our next visit. I am passionate about helping clients live meaningful, connected, and authentic lives, just as I strive to do every day.

Brittney Thompson, CSW
Bachelors of Psychology from Weber State University Masters of Social Work from Grand Canyon University TF-CBT Trained I began my journey with Crossroads to Wellness in mid-2024, bringing a wealth of experience from high-intensity therapeutic settings. Since 2018, I have worked with youth, adolescents, and young adults facing challenges such as suicidality and maladaptive behaviors. I also served as a crisis advocate for survivors of sexual and domestic violence, providing support within the criminal justice system and beyond. I am passionate about serving minority communities, including LGBTQ+ individuals, women, post-adoption youth, and those from diverse cultural backgrounds. My clinical experience spans inpatient and outpatient care, group work, and family support, with a strong focus on strengthening relationships and attachments. As a trauma-informed clinician, I am actively expanding my skills in play therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to better meet my clients' needs. My service dog, Demi, plays an integral role in creating a safe and calming therapeutic space, offering comfort and enhancing the healing process. I work from a client-centered, strengths-based perspective, believing that you are the expert on your own life. Together, we’ll collaborate to create an inclusive and supportive environment where empathy and vulnerability foster personal growth and resilience. When I’m not in the therapy room, I enjoy crocheting, coloring, baking, and spending time with Demi and my blind kitten, Joey. I love traveling and embrace new beginnings, always seeking the next adventure and opportunities for personal and professional growth.
