Andrew Libby

Engaging in therapy means committing to yourself and your own growth. I work most effectively with people who take themselves seriously and are willing to put in the time needed for deep and enduring growth. I am willing to work with anyone who is committed to themselves and their own growth. Of the populations I serve, approximately 60% identify as people of color, and 85% identify as members of LGBTQ communities.

Ashley Chan

I hope to serve those seeking to strengthen their connection with themselves and those around them by empowering their authentic identity. The stressors of everyday life can become overwhelming with the uncertainty of tomorrow. We quickly become filled with anxiety when feeling unprepared for these uncertainties. With our bodies designed for survival, symptoms of anxiety become easily integrated into our daily life, creating the cognitive distortion that life is bleak and unfulfilling.

Online Therapy

Wendy S Kaiser

My patients are young adults to older adults, individuals and couples of any kind, people of all ethnicities, races, religions, sexuality, and gender-identities. People had been focused on the issues of CoVid, but those fears have gotten more minimal for now. Currently, people are bringing in conflicts around relationships, work life, or family issues. And some people emphasize wanting to improve their own issues. Stressful times need expert help.

Dominika Bredova

Do you feel like you have "everything" but something just isn't right? You have the job/partner/family you “always” wanted but there’s a voice at the back of your head eating at you that you try to suppress? and each time you ignore it, it just comes back louder? Let’s try a different approach this time. You deserve to live a truly authentic life and I look forward to accompanying you on the journey to reach it. All you have to do is get in touch and we will figure out the rest.

I am particularly dedicated to those who have been excluded from mainstream therapeutic spaces.

I work with survivors of Intimate Partner Violence; childhood and adult sexual violence; attachment and complex trauma; hate and institutional violence.

Robin DeBates

Geeks, nerds, hackers, burners, and makers are my specialty! Tired of having a therapist roll their eyes when you talk about gaming? Over it trying to explain that Discord is a chat server and not a state of disharmony? Feeling finished with people who don't understand online friendships are valid social support? You deserve a therapist who gets you in all of your delightful nerdiness and awkwardness. Therapy for geeks from a geek therapist might just be the support you're looking for.
