Absolutely. If your brain feels like a feral cat in a cardboard box, welcome. We untangle the mess and figure out how to function without yeeting ourselves into the sun.

Shannon Crawford-West

Are you tired, burnt out, or experiencing the fight or flight rollercoaster ? Do you feel the weight of the world or needs of others on your shoulders? Maybe you've used all your super powers to survive, but are not thriving. Anxiety and perfectionism can make life feel impossible. What helps anxiety can make depression feel worse. Coping by isolating, avoiding, dissociating, eating (and I don't mean broccoli) are just tools that may have worked temporarily in the past. No more! You can be free.

Ali Siewert

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

Michael Johnson

You ever feel like cocooning? You know, when you just want to shut out the world. For many it happens when relating to others feels draining, work is no longer fulfilling, or when it’s hard to feel good about anything. Life feels so heavy that it’s as if there’s no way out. This is how depression and anxiety can feel.

Shannon Knight

You know yourself better than anyone else – even if it doesn’t seem like it yet. I help my clients to discover (or rediscover) themselves in meaningful ways. The tools are sometimes out-of-the-box (maybe a tarot card will help you work through that difficult thought process or better understand that dysfunctional relationship), evidenced-based, and always collaborative. We’ll laugh. You’ll probably cry – but you’ll definitely feel better.
