I consider it an honor to work alongside clients as they heal from the effects of ongoing trauma. You may not have considered what you have experienced as "trauma", you may even minimize what you've been through, and yet still find yourself stuck in distressing patterns that are affecting your relationships, self-worth, emotions and health. You and your story deserve compassion and understanding, as you re-connect with your own authenticity and re-claim your agency in life.

When you feel estranged from inner aliveness, burnt out, overwhelmed, depleted, it can be hard to know where to turn. Your feelings are normal - everyone gets lost sometimes. Panic and anxiety can be very scary and depression can feel immoveable. With a trusted ally in the therapeutic process, you will gain relief, personalized tools, and creative solutions. My approach is compassionate and curious, and I value trust-building, collaboration, and actionable treatment planning.

Guadalupe A. Cesar Nunez

You are constantly on the go, juggling two or three things at the same time including the help you offer others because you can’t stop yourself. What will others say to your “No’s, what would they think of you? You fear their judgment. Sometimes, you just want to be left alone. You sometimes snap at people you love and then feel guilty. You don’t enjoy life like you used to. Where is the motivation you had before? I will help you feel more confident and have healthier relationships.

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.

Julie Kenworth

Do you feel overwhelmed? Hopeless? Scared? Stuck? Do you feel like your world is spinning out of control? Do you wish the chaos would stop? What would it be like to not feel that way? Sometimes past hurts affect present relationships. Sometimes what you know in your head doesn't match what you feel in your heart. Sometimes multiple stressors can overwhelm you. And sometimes we just need a tune-up for our lives.

Rebecca Spear

Many of my clients find my practice after years of struggling with symptoms of depression, anxiety, having a harsh inner critic, or addictions. Unresolved trauma is often the underlying problem, when as children we learned to distance ourselves from our innate higher Self in an effort to “fit in.” I guide clients in listening to their own inner voices, reconnecting to their soul-longings and restoring a more authentically connected existence to the world around them. LGBTQI+ affirming practice.

Erin Lynch

Sometimes, as much as we try, it’s hard to make the changes we need to improve the quality of our life. If you’re struggling with the effects of trauma, excessive worry, depression or bipolar disorder, low self-esteem, relationship issues, or having trouble navigating the stress of life and want to make some changes, I am here to help.

Jennifer Duke

Focusing on the needs of people in ENM and poly relationships, I address the complexities of relationships by examining one's own deepest needs desires and longings. Some of my clients are victims of sexual trauma. Some of my clients deal with crippling anxiety, phobias and anger. Some of my clients have secrets and shame that they believe are too much to share with anyone. Some of my clients want to learn how to create harmony, but don't know where to start.

Melissa Dellens

The teenage years are filled with anxieties of self discovery and identity. As a young adult you may have parts of yourself you feel like you must hide. You may feel like there are conflicts with who you are, and how you currently present in the world. You may be coming to a deeper understanding of your gender or sexual identity. This can be a scary time that can complicate your relationship with your friends and family. Together we can explore ways to find a little more ease in the journey.

Gavin Cross

I work with men and LGBTQ individuals dealing with difficulties in decision making, stress and anxiety. In therapy, we will work on silencing the negative messages that are cluttering your mind, by uncovering the blocks behind difficult emotions. Our work will help you discover the peace you've been hoping for and empower you to exert the changes you desire with confidence.

Corinne Eisenhardt

I help individuals in their 20s and 30s who feel lost, stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed. They feel like they have what constitutes a good life, but they are confused about why they are unhappy and feel unfulfilled. I help clients uncover all the ways they are being held back from being happier and more successful in their careers and life. Through my practice, I help people find direction, purpose, strength, happiness, and more in control of their life.

Elena White

In this increasingly “good vibes only” culture, do you feel that you need to hide parts of yourself in order to fit in or be included in the group? Do you feel like you’re either too much or not enough? Like you’re the black sheep in your family or with your friends? You may have been thrown into an adult role as a child, having to emotionally care for your parent or caregiver, at the expense of your own emotional development, growth, or even safety. If this sounds familiar, there is hope.

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.

Online Therapy

John Guthrie

I help adult individuals whose lives are adversely impacted by one or more of the following: compulsive sexual behavior (sex/porn/love addiction), partner betrayal trauma, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. I also help couples seeking help for healing from infidelity or for overcoming other relational problems in order to strengthen their relationship.
