If you found me, you may struggle to find self confidence or a positive relationship with yourself, you may also feel anxious or depressed. Your self defeating thoughts may be debilitating. Perhaps your relationships suffer. You aren't feeling like your authentic self and it takes a toll on your mental health.

Complex or relational trauma can show up as overwhelming emotions, depression, anxiety, or problems building or keeping relationships. It can also show up as symptoms of post traumatic stress or PTSD. Whether you need help navigating current stress, or processing and resolving problems rooted in past experiences, we can work together to build skills to manage emotions in the present while uncovering glimmers of hope to move forward through darkness toward healing.

Feeling stuck? Struggling to identify goals? Feeling as if your body image and relationship to food has become overwhelming? Whether you are having a hard time answering these questions or the answers are ingrained in you, I am here to support you! Authenticity and empowerment are the focus of my therapeutic style. Together, let's take a look at what is and is not serving you in life right now. I work through story, tools and feedback to help clients realign with their true self.

Alexa Golding

Do you struggle with the belief that no matter what you do it won’t be good enough? Is it hard to say "no" to others because if they are upset with you, you will feel guilty? Maybe you walk on eggshells around others, scared to say the wrong thing so you shut down and don’t speak up? I help people like you learn what your needs are so you can advocate, build boundaries and thrive in your relationships.

Taylor Bowman

I work with young adults and millennials who are tired of struggling with anxiety, depression, attachment, breakups and difficult family dynamics. If you feel as if you've lost a sense of connection to yourself, we'll work together to regain self-trust so that you can move confidently through life. My role is to assist in maximizing what is working and minimize what isn't while finding glimmers of joy along the way. Working with clients who are ready to step into their power is what I do best.

Rubin Khoddam

I strive to come from a place of compassion and empathy because, as humans, we all have patterns, messages, and lessons that show up in our lives. The more conscious and mindful we can become of these patterns, the more freedom we can have from them. My goal in therapy is to utilize evidence-based treatments to help you understand these themes so that you can gain the tools, insights, and skills necessary to live the life you want.

Sydney Johnson

My work is rooted in the belief that every person has inherent worth and the potential for transformation. In therapy, I tailor my approach to each client’s specific needs, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment theory, and mindfulness practices. By blending these techniques with a faith-based perspective, I aim to provide care that feels both practical and spiritually grounded.

Vanessa Setteducato

You're a people-pleaser, late-bloomer, self-explorer, or someone who values your inner life and wants to dive deeper. Adults who are creative, curious, and compassionate but struggle to apply those strengths to themselves consider me a good fit, as do those who crave relationships but find them to be more trouble than they're worth.

Lucy Cotter

My couples and individual clients have many varied backgrounds, professions, and world views. I consider my clients to be the experts on their own experiences as they teach me about their unique histories, cultures, orientations, and preferences. As a fine artist, I often work with creative clients such as artists, writers, directors, musicians, and actors. I look forward to learning about you and your own lived experiences.

Jennifer Hamrock

I work collaboratively with my clients to find out what works for them and their situation. I am an integrative therapist, tailoring approaches to fit each client’s needs. Although asking for help can be difficult, know that I will be there to support your journey from the very first phone call all the way through to your discharge session. Together we can uncover underlying reasons for behaviors and emotions and address those to learn healthier, more productive, and beneficial ways.

Sarah Segal

Have you noticed that it's in the places you are supposed to be most relaxed (meditation, vacation, weekends, sleep) that your mind feels louder than ever? It might feel like the idea of letting your thoughts go is meant for “normal” people and that does not include you. Maybe you stand guard to keep yourself from your worst case, as if your attention to your thoughts keeps you from descending into unimaginable fear. I can help you sift through the noise and regain your confidence in yourself.

Melissa Klass

Being human is hard. When two different people, flaws and all, form a relationship, it’s harder. When those two decide that they want to swing with other couples, that can be even more complicated. Or perhaps they decide to open up their relationship on occasion. What are the boundaries? How about when those two humans become part of a triad, or quad? There might be some unique challenges with that choice as well. And jealousy! Navigating yours, and theirs, is not for the faint of heart.

Laurel Roberts-Meese

Lawyers, executives, and entrepreneurs find support and understanding in my practice. You've got a lot going on; your relationship is strained, or your anxiety is increasing. Maybe you and your partner are experiencing higher levels of conflict or disconnect. Maybe you've experienced a recent loss or traumatic event. Or maybe you feel unsatisfied with your life, despite having "everything" you want. Whatever brings you to therapy, I'll be your engaged partner in working through it.

Curious, motivated maybe knowing but not quite expressing what you envision for yourself and/or your partner(s).I love working with folks who are wanting more eroticism, fun, desire, change, more or different in your sexual life. Navigating an open relationship. Seeking knowledge and the possibility of incorporating kink. I work well with adolescents and young adults who are blossoming into who they envision themselves to be. I'm well-trained, forward-thinking, creative, and I listen intently.

Are there moments when you feel overwhelmed, tired of feeling stressed, anxious, and discouraged from life events that are out of your control? Maybe you have experienced a significant trauma or loss like a relationship ending, a job loss, a move, loss of financial security, or the death of a loved one? All life changes both positive and negative can throw you into grief, a state of disequilibrium, where you struggle to find a new normal or you experience difficulties in your relationships.
