Christina Walthers

We queer folks navigate the world differently from cis-het individuals, and with that comes both unique challenges and a profound sense of beauty. While I work with folks of all identities, including cis-het folks, my specialty lies in supporting queer, trans, and gender-diverse individuals. My goal is to create the safest, most affirming, and empowering space possible—where you can explore your authentic self without fear or judgment.

As a therapist, my passion lies in helping children, adolescents, and adults develop the skills and strategies they need to lead fulfilling and rewarding lives. I especially enjoy working with clients transitioning back into their homes and communities after hospitalization or longer-term care for psychiatric stabilization.

Has your life become messy and unmanageable? Lately, are you overwhelmed and not feeling quite like yourself? Do your relationships feel stressful and do you feel like no one really understands where you are coming from? Are you feeling hopeless and having trouble getting through your day? Maybe anxiety is keeping you from sleeping well and is causing unwanted thoughts that won't slow down. Experiencing any of these symptoms can keep us from enjoying life. I know because I have been there.

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.

Kate Upton

You're the expert on your life and goals—it’s my job to provide the help, insight, and encouragement you need to get there. I work with clients to identify the negative thought patterns and the underlying beliefs causing difficult emotional experiences such as anxiety or depression, replacing them with more adaptive and functional thoughts and coping skills. I love working with individuals who are ready to dive in and see change in this way.

Allison Christopher

Currently, my practice focuses on anxiety, depression, relationships, school/work stress, trauma, disordered eating/body image issues, and other health concerns (e.g., sleep problems, adjusting to medical diagnoses, etc.). I also have specialized training and experience in treating substance abuse. I see teens as well as adults, and many of my patients are part of the LGBTQ+ community.

Kelsey Smith

Often, life's deepest moments are intertwined with the relationships we form; and some of life's biggest struggles result from barriers to those connections. Whether it's trauma, anger management, codependence, isolation, suicidality or something else - you and I can tackle it together. Facing challenges in the safe container of the therapeutic environment helps build resilience to face whatever life tosses your way.

Laura McMaster

You’re a go-getter. You believe that if there is a way to work your way out of a problem, then defining those steps will get you out of this slump, worry, and recurring conflict. A creeping sense of unease can look like fear, sleeplessness, dissatisfaction, or sadness coupled with the stress of responsibilities you already have. Your upset might manifest as frequent arguing with your partner or emotional numbing. You want to figure this thing out, so you can all get back to normal.

Do you struggle with perfectionism and procrastination? Do you find yourself overthinking or second-guessing almost everything and it results in chaos and stress?

Not only have I been there, but I've also worked with dozens of others just like us to achieve freedom and peace of mind.
