You might be feeling as if you're drowning, feeling anxious, or sad. Memories haunt you. When those thoughts come, you feel overwhelmed, find yourself with heart palpitations, sweating, headache, and possibly crying. You feel hopeless, exhausted, on edge, overextended, and stressed. You find yourself overthinking and struggling with life. There is no safety in the world. These are affecting your relationships and work.

Kathleen "Kade" Flach

I work well with persons who have difficulty connecting with others or feel somehow set apart from those around them. We come to know & understand ourselves in the context of relationships. Without authentic connections, we can be left feeling lost – disconnected from those around us & from ourselves. Being hurt by persons known & trusted can be quite damaging to our sense of self. Some may come to see themselves as defective, unlovable, or even broken. One can end up feeling completely stuck.

Susan Pollard

Many people experience adversity, wondering what happened to their life. They may struggle with navigating relationships, question their gender identity, or feel under pressure at school or work, unsure of how to make it through the day. Moments like these can be overwhelming, but with guidance and support, many can not only survive but flourish. I support young people with these challenging moments, empowering them to tap into their inner strength.

My clients are adults, couples, and polycules. I believe deeply in a strengths-based approach to treatment in client-centered therapeutic space that is hallmarked by non-judgment and unconditional positive regard. My practice embraces the social work tradition of considering clients' whole biopsychosocial selves. Together, we will explore connections among your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and somatic experiences to support you reaching your therapeutic goals.

Solasta McIntyre

Are you often hypervigilant and tense? Insecure in relationships? Disconnected from your body and emotions? Feel worthless or like you can't trust yourself? Are aware of self-defeating behaviors, but can't seem to change? Are you a young professional experiencing anxiety, relationship distress, or dissociation? You may have had a recent breakup, job change, newborn or Saturn Return. You may have had a "late-in-life" diagnosis or realization around your identity, childhood or brain style.

Marla Cass

I help women who are successful in their careers but not in their relationships. They are interested in understanding themselves at a deeper level and know that a quick fix is not the answer. Many of them have been to therapy before but felt like it didn't help. They are looking for a therapist who is warm yet direct, and will take the time to understand them and support them on their exploration. Members of the LGBTQQ++ communities and therapists seeking their own therapy are warmly welcomed.

Liberty Flidais

Somatic psychotherapy enlists the innate intelligence of the body as a catalyst for health. Because mind-body disconnect is often related to our deepest emotional wounds, attunement to our body’s responses to stressors is essential to healing. By bringing awareness to how our emotions, sensations, thoughts, images and memories interconnect and influence each other, somatic psychology brings us home to ourselves.

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.

Celine Williams

I specialize in working with those who identify as neurodivergent, gender nonconforming, LGBTQIA+, sex positive, polyamorous, or within the bdsm and leather communities. Prospective clients may be seeking to understand their gender/sexual identities, how to work with their neurodivergent brains, or desirous of working through complex childhood trauma through inner child healing and exploration.

Laura Grossman

Existing as a queer person is hard. I get it! I specialize in somatic and relational therapy for queer and trans adults and parents who've been through hard things and feel disconnected, small, and exhausted. Maybe this resonates for you! You want to show up in life as your full, messy, and authentic self. You're done and you're ready for more. More connection with yourself. More liberation from old wounds. And more joy in the life you're living right now.

I get it. You feel anxious more often than not. Maybe you're wondering how you could ever connect with your partner in a warm and engaging way again. I've been there, too: heart pounding, armpits sweating, racing thoughts. It can be an endless cycle and I don't want you to suffer anymore. I look forward to working with you and teaching you tools so you can work, be present with your loved ones, and have a good night's sleep without anxiety ruining it day after day.

Life can be challenging, and at times, despite our best efforts we can feel stuck or lost. My clients are looking to make specific changes in their lives and want an interactive therapist to help provide specific tools and strategies to guide this process. I help clients reduce stress, and shift their relationship to painful emotions. I frequently work with people around boundaries, relationship concerns, life transitions, and issues related to gender identity.

I have experience working with neurodiverse folx, children, and new parents.

Many of my clients partake in art therapy, some prefer talk therapy and some like to alternate.
