Chloe Cox

If you’ve landed on this page, you're probably feeling overwhelmed. You may be realizing the perfectionism that has gotten you so far in life has now become your worst enemy. Maybe you're a college student or recent grad feeling crushed under the pressure to succeed. You might be stuck in the vicious cycle of disordered eating, or noticing eating disorder recovery is a really tough thing to do alone. Stress, anxiety, and depression can make you feel like there is no way out.

Morgan Sheldon

I have particular passion for serving those with complex body relationships, who want to understand their ADHD or autism better, who crave support as they deconstruct their spiritual histories, who are frustrated by vague therapy answers, who fear they are "too much" or "too different". Overall, those who want to find the beauty in the darkness rather than denying the darkness, and who want to sit crooked and talk straight.

Isaac Martinez

All my clients come from very different ranges of needs. I specialize in clients who struggle with mental health and with substance abuse. A lot of clients have come back after completing treatment because they were so satisfied with the individualized treatment plan based on their needs.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with adults and families looking to work through their mental health challenges, all while improving their relationship with both themselves and others. I am experienced in treating individuals and families impacted by addiction, eating disorders, anxiety, relational conflict, depression, perfectionism, low self worth, life transitions and more. This includes clients currently struggling with substance abuse and disordered eating.

Paul Wilcox

I typically work with individuals and couples. I specialize in working with trauma, LGBTQ, religious trauma, existential crises, underrepresented populations, relationship and societal issues. I have been told that I am easy to be in session with, and can stay curious and identify with most anyone I meet. I work best with adult clients, those with deep inquiries of self, and typically anyone who has feelings of being misunderstood or alienated. I do very well at helping couples reconnect.

Lauren Permenter

Early experiences influence the way we act and engage in the world. Without time to reflect we can get stuck in habits and patterns that are meant to protect us but prevent us from true connection with others and the present. Together we will identify root causes of the behaviors and repeated actions that no longer serve you. We will practice being vulnerable. Clients who are serious about making changes while maintaining a sense of humor when needed will do well in this practice together.

David Watson

Finding meaning in life, healing, becoming whole again, & thriving (not just surviving) are examples of potential goals for our time together. Within that framework, we can customize our work to meet and embrace your unique personality & needs. A couple of meaningful quotes: “You are not meant for crawling. So don't. You have wings. Learn to use them and fly." ~ Jalal al-Din Rumi (13th-century Persian poet and Sufi mystic) “The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” ~ Carl Jung

Seth Stewart

I accompany clients as they address anxiety, depression, trauma, and challenging life changes. Together, we work to increase insight, practical skills, and self-awareness through a lively engagement with the "less visited" parts of self that we often take for granted. My treatment approach is based on awakening deep compassion and curiosity about ourselves and the world.

Kameryn "Yams" Rose

Are you tired of bad "dates" with therapists, finding yourself explaining basic parts of your identity and feeling like therapy's going nowhere because of it? Maybe you're kinky, disabled, BIPOC, neurodivergent, queer, non-monogamous, all of the above, or don't subscribe to labels. I seek to create and hold space for your identities, growth, and exploration as we navigate your chosen path.

Hannah Nicolaci

Trauma can impact your ability to trust yourself, relationships, individuals, and your general ability to function. Whether you're having panic attacks, or struggling with trusting your intuition, we can develop resources to nourish you, identify triggers, and get you to a place of LIVING. I have experience and enjoy working with diverse cultural backgrounds, gender identities, from adolescents to seniors, whether in crisis, or looking to better self regulate on a consistent basis.

Molly Nestor Kaye

I tend to work with folks who are curious about themselves, others, and the human condition in general. My clients often come to therapy recognizing that they have endured relational and/or societal trauma and knowing how it impacts them. However, they feel unsure of how to reckon with, heal, and integrate their traumatic experiences. My clients are ready to live more expansively, have more balanced relationships, and feel more grounded in their daily life but need support to get there.

Melissa Gentry

My clients are ready to embrace transformation and change. They are motivated to explore new possibilities, overcome obstacles, and unlock their potential for growth. I support individuals seeking help with anxiety, ADHD/ADD, bipolar, mood challenges, depression, panic disorder, goal setting, procrastination, and relationship/intimacy challenges. Together, we embark on a journey of empowerment, paving the way for positive and meaningful change in their lives.

Ana Hauser

I understand that life’s challenges can feel overwhelming and isolating. My goal is to help you feel seen, heard, and empowered to take control of your emotions and relationships. Together, we’ll create a path toward healing and growth, allowing you to live a life that truly reflects your values and aspirations. I am dedicated to helping clients develop effective tools for emotion regulation & interpersonal effectiveness.

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.

Dr. Kathryn Williams

I am here to be a guide on this transformational journey to your big beautiful life. Do you have anxiety about 'getting it all done' or being perfect? Do you have depression feeling like no matter what you do, you are not good enough? On the outside, you look strong, competent, & like you have it all together. On the inside, you feel on the brink of falling apart. Let me help you flourish & embody your life.

Alli Georgiev

I work with teens, adults, and parents who are navigating life’s ups and downs. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or career changes, I’m here to support your journey toward healing. I also specialize in helping new parents, and single parents during the perinatal and postnatal periods, and those dealing with the unique challenges that come with raising teenagers. Whatever you’re facing, you don’t have to do it alone—I’m here to help you heal and grow.

Solara Calderon

My clients come to therapy grieving a painful loss (like the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or even the loss of a part of their identity), trying to shift unhelpful patterns or behaviors in their relationships, struggling to adapt to a new life phase (like parenthood, starting college, or a new job), having a hard time managing big emotions, or seeking deeper meaning and connection. I particularly love working with young adults, moms and dads, and LGBTQ+ folks.

Online Therapy

Duane Osterlind, LMFT, CSAT

People who come to me are looking for answers. Often they feel like they are at their wit's end and don't know what to do to get the things they want. I help them create a path forward with clear steps they can take to save their relationship or overcome the challenges they are facing. They create a forward path with concrete steps they can make today.

Shavonne James

Many of my clients are over-functioning in their lives and have the underlying belief that their worth is tied to their usefulness and achievement. They often struggle with extreme guilt and approval-seeking so I focus on nurturing who they are as a person, outside the roles they perform. I work from a humanistic perspective and help my clients feel more confident in their desires and boundaries to gain a secure sense of self and build more fulfilling relationships.

Online Therapy

Gregory Gooden

I enjoy working with clients who are faced with life changes, mal-adaptive coping mechanisms, struggles with personal identity, and relationship and sexuality issues.
