Carmen F Juneidi

Painful past experiences cause you to have a hard time trusting others, yet you keep finding yourself in unhealthy relationships. Your anxiety may be making you feel tense, irritable and afraid of taking risks. You alternate between feeling angry, scared and numb. You may feel ashamed for what has happened to you and you can't imagine ever feeling happy again. You don't have to let old wounds dictate the rest of your life. You can feel confident, empowered and optimistic about the future again.

Dr Catalina Lawsin

So many of us are searching for who we truly are. We’re so encapsulated in who we should be being for others, that we end up losing ourselves. This shows up most frequently in intimate relationships. Our desire for unconditional love from another supersedes our need for physical connection. Emotion trumps sexuality. And what goes on within our mind shuts down the abilities of our body. Are you feeling lost in your relationship? Are you craving more intimacy?

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.

Jennifer Warner

My clients are individuals living with anxiety, depression, and PTSD related to chronic illness and/or lived experience of violence (individual, community, intergenerational, historical) and are seeking a safe and compassionate space for tending to and processing the past, connecting to the present, growing skills, and healing. I specialize in working with those living with complex medical diagnoses (or multiple symptoms with no diagnosis), challenging prognoses, and "watchful waiting."

I provide individual, family, and group therapy for adults. Typical concerns of my clients include managing the effects of trauma, relationship issues, intense emotions, and grief. Areas of special focus include survivors of sexual violence and individuals who experienced trauma in their families of origin.

Kyla Dannelke

When I first meet with people, some of my first questions I might ask are: - What made you hit the "Search therapists" button? - Do you have difficulty making decisions? - Feel stuck or lost when it comes to your direction in this busy life you've got going on? - Do you feel like things are just simply, unmanageable? I want my clients to feel at home in my office and talking to me about all of these questions, the way you feel comfortable talking to your closest friends and confidants.

Susan Killelea

I create space for clients to explore sexuality, gender, relationships and life transitions. I am kink and ethical nonmonogamy informed. Some of my clients are working on issues related to their identity, desire, or relationships. Other clients are looking for a space where they can work on anxiety, depression, or stress in a safe, informed and welcoming environment.

Jeff Levy

The one thing all my clients have in common is the courage and desire to live differently. Most everyone has found that survival strategies that were once necessary and even helpful, no longer work in the ways they used to and, in some instances rather than being helpful, they have become counterproductive. My clients, ages 18-80, want to understand the origins of old survival strategies, strengthen them where they remain useful, and replace them where necessary.

Allison Staiger

Becoming a parent can be a landmine. What is often billed as simple, linear, and seamless can be filled with complicated emotions, experiences, and a sense of overwhelm. I work with people on all points of the birthing path- whether you are just thinking about having a child, trying to conceive, are pregnant or postpartum . This includes people struggling with infertility, pregnancy and infant loss, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, and birth trauma, as well as partners and birth workers.

Frank Floski

My main goal is getting my client to be mindful and present in the here and now as a lot of people’s mind are in the future or the past. When we are focus on the future or the past, we miss out on our current experiences and can lead to depression or anxiety. By training your mind to focus on what is currently going on his a difficult challenge but not impossible. I provides tools for my clients to practice staying present and realize the connection between their thoughts and their actions.

Kyra Keuben

As a queer person, my work is rooted in anti-racism and social justice with an intersectional feminist lens. This enables me to embrace kink-positivity, CNM/polyam relationships, and sex work. I cater to those wrestling with fat and body positivity. I also look to support caregivers and mental health workers coping with burnout.

Deborah Dettman

Are you full of anxiety but hiding it pretty well? Women I work with are often struggling with people pleasing and perfectionism. You might be dealing with a toxic workplace or toxic relationship and feel like you're about to lose it. You may be questioning the direction life is headed but have sleep problems, upsetting thoughts and feel exhausted a lot. You may notice yourself misusing substances or caretaking others or working too much. You can get help now and make changes.

Erin Runt

I push partners to connect more deeply with one another, and to understand more about what they need and desire from each other. Clients tell me that my ability to hold space for each of their perspectives and “translate” their experiences to one another helps them overcome the barriers they feel in communication. I am most successful with clients who want to increase their understanding of their situation, who are willing to change and grow, and who are open to being accountable.

Sergio Hernández

Have you been finding it difficult to manage change in tandem? Are you experiencing various forms of pressures or stretching yourself in uncomfortable ways? Afraid to show others your true self, find it difficult to relax or hiding yourself away? I can meet you in the irritability and frustration. I get it that you may feel exhausted, overwhelmed and fed up; or that you are reeling in from a loss of control.

Joy Walsh

It always amazes me the complete turn around clients can do with the tools they already have, they just needed to discover, reorganize or sharpen a few things. Clients who typically seek me out are looking for a therapist who specializes in trauma, perinatal or postpartum issues, women's issues, anxiety or who can help support them in a significant life transition. I am excited to offer you a space to heal, learn and feel you are not alone.
