Danielle Bush

My clients tend to be sensitive, intuitive, creative, conscientious, animal-loving, empathetic, deep thinkers. They are also typically burdened by daily overwhelm and overstimulation, anxiety, shame or low self esteem. These symptoms often result from exposure to trauma and from compulsive unwanted behaviors such as skin picking and hair pulling.

Robert Nemerovski. Psy.D.

If your anger, anxiety or ADHD interferes with your relationships, career, or well-being, it is probably time to get some experienced help.

Laurie Chandler

Will Lipsenthal

I like to work with the present moment, I believe that the past impacts the present. My clients often notice an increase in liveliness, connection, or a better understanding of who they are and where they’ve come from. My approach allows us to work on a wide variety of issues from depression, transitions, loss, or trauma.

Victoria Whisman

Are you struggling with anxiety or stopping yourself from making changes and taking risks because you are trapped by an inner critic or beliefs you are not good enough, strong enough, smart enough, etc.... I can help. Sometimes you may not even know why. What you know is you want something else. I believe you can break free from the harsh judgments within and feel confident in your life. You can be secure and confident.

Lisa Wenninger

I help people get unstuck. Many of my clients feel like outsiders. I am trans-sensitive and also comfortable with LGB, poly, ace, and other romantic and sexual identities. I am white, and for white people who are interested, I offer a safe place to unpack white privilege, to replace internalized cultural programming and release it into new experiences of growth, fairness, and love. For non-white clients, I offer cross-racial counseling through a liberation psychology lens.

Sara Okman

I specialize in helping clients foster better relationships with themselves and their loved ones. Through couples counseling or individual work, I help identify unhealthy patterns that are causing disconnection, address and heal traumatic underpinnings that are keeping relationships stuck, and teach new tools that increase intimacy and trust. You will learn how to stop beating yourself up with negative self talk, and form a practice of radical self compassion.

Heather Chamberlain

The goal of therapy is for children to learn strategies to help them manage their emotions through games, activities, and information and for parents gain an understanding of their child along with strategies to help the family feel better. I work with children birth to 18 and their parents, with a specialty in 0-5, trauma, and psychological and developmental testing.

Dr. Christine E. Dickson

Do you struggle with a mind that does not turn off? Do you overanalyze yourself and others? Do you have a critical inner voice? I can help you find the "off button" in your mind, no longer react to every thought and feeling that goes through your mind and learn to laugh at the voice in your head. Together we can achieve what seems impossible.

Ryan Gertz

I see individuals, couples and children. I believe what we become aware of, we have the ability to transform, if we choose. I also believe in the power of the stories we tell ourselves, as having deep meaning guiding our lives. If we can become aware of what is driving us, the stories, we will have a lot of influence on the rest of our lives. I enjoy working with anxiety, depression, ADHD and neuro-divergent challenges, relationship challenges, mens work, and those unnamable burdens we all have.

Monica Elden, LMFT

Are you wondering how to stop feeling overwhelmed and stressed by the "new normal?" Maybe you’re feeling worried, lonely, tired, depressed, or burnt out. The uncertainty of the pandemic can magnify doubts and fears lying just beneath the surface while creating new challenges all at the same time. It’s a lot to handle and may leave you feeling ill-equipped and lacking the resiliency needed to thrive in chaotic times. Working with me, you will find courage to face what now seems impossible.

Arley Lindberg

Each therapy is different as we are all unique individuals, but often in therapy we will explore what is challenging you, identify habitual or unconscious stances, and integrate unfelt feelings, prior traumatic experiences, and unexpressed aspects of your personality. We will also focus on what interests you and brings vitality to your life. You can go to my website for more information on the therapy I provide: www.arleylindberglcsw.com

Marla Caplan

My clients are highly sensitive people who frequently express themselves as artists, writers, thinkers and makers. I work with individuals seeking to actualize their most authentic self and help couples and families to repair their relationships and restore harmony in their lives.

Christy Choy

I am passionate in working with individuals who are committed in the path of healing and transformation, to work on unpacking past wounding, grief, loss, life challenges and struggles. There are times in our lives when we might feel loss, or stuck. We then realize that we have to take a journey within. To take a deeper look in ourselves, unpack our early experiences, and to make space for healing. Through this process, we become more whole and joyful. Our lives become more aligned with Spirit.

James Edwards

Sometimes we get to places in life where we get stuck. Maybe it’s an issue at the job or at home. Perhaps you’ve been dealing with feelings of depression, anxiety, or overwhelming anger. It is my goal to help you sort out how to deal with your challenges and support you develop into a better you. I also know that I am an African American cisgender male, and I want to use my presence in the therapy field to help increase the comfort level for males and minorities to receive clinical services.
