Linnea Logas

I empower individuals and couples struggling with anxiety, shame, low self-esteem & communication issues to find deep, wholehearted contentedness and inner-freedom. Using a feminist, anti-racist, trauma-informed, gender & sexuality affirming lens, my goal is to help you grow in love with yourself and your people. You are deserving of your love, and contentment and joy in your relationships is absolutely attainable.

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.

Kelly Lemm

AAre you experiencing anxiety, depression, or PTSD and you aren't quite sure how to improve things? Do you tend to emotionally eat to deal with life challenges and that impacts your mental health? Are you wanting a more holistic approach rather than just focusing on medication or talk therapy? I assist clients in identifying behavior changes ranging from improving nutrition to reduce symptoms to learning how to manage trauma triggers.

Jessica VerBout

Have you been struggling with sexual behaviors, attractions, or thoughts that you've been acting on in secret and want to stop with the hurt and shame? Revive your sex life within your relationship(s), as it no longer feels you and your partner(s) are on the same page? The secrecy, shame, guilt, disconnect -- it feels exhausting -- and you do not have to continue to experience this hurt. I look forward to helping you rediscover yourself/relationship(s) in a new way without all the baggage.

Kendall Schreier

Deciding to seek therapy can stir up all kinds of emotions. Maybe it’s been a long time coming, perhaps the thing you used to do to get by isn’t working anymore, or maybe life recently threw you a difficult curve ball. Either way, it can feel isolating trying to figure it out alone. Friends and family can be helpful, though sometimes you just need a safe space of your own to regroup and a safe person to walk with you while you do the hard work.

Online Therapy

Sally Williams

Perhaps with today’s latest challenges you feel out of balance, stuck in some places, and in need of a fresh approach that honors your strengths and personal values. My clients have led remarkable lives, often with a lot of success, but also a lot of stress. The successes may make it difficult to reach out for support. They may have developed substance use issues or other coping skills that are no longer helpful.

Holli Engelhart

You aren’t feeling yourself…maybe you haven’t in a long time. Responsibilities of daily life can be stressful, relationships challenging, life transitions happen when we least expect; and this is all HARD.

Reach out and connect with me…take this first step!
