Shelley Samuels

Restarting your life? Are you feeling lost, overwhelmed, isolated? Do you feel stuck in the past ? Or maybe you think you are powerless, too old, too young, too different, or low energy? Some of the folks I enjoy working with are members of my queer community, older adults, creative types and people connected to the earth who care about our planet and may be experiencing climate grief. I appreciate transitioners of all types and lovers of learning.

MaryBeth Lorence

I invite individual adults and couples to explore your struggles and the unhealthy patterns that keep you mired in feelings of sadness, anxiety, or simply with a sense that your life is not quite how you wish it to be. Maybe you've tried to work out the problems yourself and keep circling back to square one. Maybe you've hit a brick wall. Maybe you don't even know where to begin. Together, we'll uncover the power of change that lives inside you.

Lisa Andresen

Even the most successful people could use a little help sometimes. You can wrestle with self-doubt, push yourself to figure it out, and still not feel good enough. What’s holding you back? What are you keeping inside? Burning out, frustrated with your family, or disappointed with your friends? Hate your job, have a mean boss, or feeling lost? Discover the links between trauma and achievement. Skillfully navigate narcissistic relationships and family estrangement.

Grace A. Chen

Would you like to spend less time explaining to and educating your therapist about your cultural background and experience so you can focus on your main concerns? Perhaps you want to work on understanding yourself better, developing and nurturing healthy relationships, feeling more confident about yourself, figuring out major life decisions, or living a more fulfilling life. I will help you explore these issues while understanding how your sociocultural experiences have impacted you.

Abigail Thompson

Do you have a sense that something is not quite fitting for you- or that you could be accomplishing more or enjoying more? This therapy is right for you if you're ready to try something new, get a little uncomfortable, and explore what's true for you.

Online Therapy

Ashley Grant

My clients tend to be individuals who struggle to advocate for themselves in relationships- whether they be work, romantic, familial or friendly. They tend to put other people's feelings before their own. They may struggle with anxiety, depression, or both. I work with a lot of people who experienced emotional neglect in childhood, and/or self centered parents, and/or very oppressive home environments.

I-Ching Grace Hung

Do you find yourself imagining what kind of person you want to be, but feel uncertain about how to make the change? Perhaps certain areas of your life, such as relationships or work, can be more fulfilling, but you're not sure how to make it happen. If you hope to live as the "real you" and feel more internal clarity, peace, and freedom, you've come to the right place. Change is hard, so I am here help you make powerful changes in your life with courage, humour, and joy.

David Brown

I am uniquely skilled in engaging the struggles related to trauma, life transitions, and the LGBTQ community. Many of the men and women who choose to work with me are in the grips of anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, or relationship challenges. Many are highly motivated professionals that are self-reliant and achievement-focused, but often struggle with self-defeating thoughts and patterns that keep them feeling stuck.

Brown Therapy Center

We work with a diverse population of adult individuals, couples, and special interest groups who may be struggling with any number of mental health challenges related to anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship issues, and substance abuse, among others. We are committed to providing culturally competent care across the spectrum of age, race, gender, sexuality, religion, and background.

Isobel Heath

Therapy improves relationships. The individuals I work with are often tired of repeating the same patterns again and again, whether it's dating abuse, codependency, or chronic relationship conflict, anxiety, avoidance or indecision. They're ready to get to the root causes and finally make real change. Of course, all relationships start with and reflect your relationship to yourself. If you're dealing with a harsh inner critic or low self-worth, this internal relationship needs attention first.

Online Therapy

Vanessa Tate

My approach anchored in somatic awareness is especially effective for those who are curious and committed to exploring maladaptive patterns in their life choices and their relationships. I assist adults to deepen their coping with overwhelming emotions, complex trauma, anxiety, codependence, abusive family systems and spiritual inquiries. I help couples learn conflict resolution skills, attunement, emotional intimacy and explore commitment agreements including separating respectfully.

Online Therapy

Bianca Aarons

My Clients mainly come to therapy to do deep work on themselves. They are done avoiding their pain and would like to work through the patterns that keep them stuck. My clients are the holders of the wisdom. I am here to help, but it's under the assumption that the healing comes from inside of you. My goal is for each person to feel empowered and supported.

Online Therapy

Barton Shulman

Many of us reach out when we feel the need for support, or help working through challenging times. Sometimes we face challenges we think are too difficult to manage alone. I believe in taking a strength-based, client-centered approach to psychotherapy, working with you to help you grow toward your best self. The familiar ways you have of dealing with life's complications may not be working; together we can work to identify new positive means of change.

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.

Online Therapy

Kristina Scott

People who are called to work with me are--and I say this with so much love!--the freaks & weirdos of the world--folks who feel like they don't really fit in. Spiritual explorers, and anyone interested in challenging cultural norms/the status quo. Those who are searching for a sense of connection and belonging, particularly through deepening their connection to their own bodies, the earth and our other-than-human kin.

Online Therapy

Julia Forberg

Are you feeling stuck in your relationships? Do you long for a healthy relationship? Are you in a relationship with someone you really care about but feel terrified it won't work out? Have you been told you are too needy or codependent? These are just some of the common experiences women can have when it comes to love. Together, I can help you feel more confident, empowered and at ease in your relationships.

Eric van der Voort

Are you distracted by thoughts & insecurities during sex? Does sex feel like a performance or an obligation? Do you worry you'll disappoint your partner because of difficulties with arousal, erections, or orgasms? Do you sometimes avoid sex altogether because working through relationship issues feels complicated or overwhelming? If so, you’re neither alone nor broken. Like many, you may be experiencing performance anxieties, low sexual desire, or have inaccurate or unhelpful beliefs about sex.
