Isn’t opening up to a new therapist one of the worst things? Especially when you’re worried if they’ll “get” the experiences you’ve had exploring or developing new identities. Whether this is the first or 50th time searching for a therapist, it’s scary. I work hard to minimize those fears by providing a safe and affirming space to open up and embrace your own truth. What would it be like to work with a therapist who accepts you exactly as you are, while supporting you to be better? Come find out

Susan Stork

I work with Millennials, Xennials, Gen Xers, and Boomers through both individual and couples work. I specialize in assisting my clients to deal with stress, high-functioning anxiety, neurodiversity, trauma, and/or depression. I also work with those who identify as being “Black Sheep” – or what I dub as “Black Unicorns”, trailblazers and family-disrupters, or first-generation pioneers, in addition to either formally un-parented or under-parented adults.

I work specifically with adults struggling with sex-related issues. These include, but are not limited to: intimacy issues in relationships; lack of sexual education in young adulthood; infidelity; sexual dysfunction; couples in ethical non-monogamous relationships looking for guidance with communication or other relationships; and individuals who are in the kink, BDSM, or sex-work communities and would like informed therapeutic care.

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.

Samuel Wilson

Do you feel trapped by circumstances beyond your control? Are you unable to escape negative thoughts? Have you forgotten why you made the decisions that led you to this moment? Talk therapy can offer a way forward. Therapy can be a safe space to catch your breath, to talk out ideas that feel strange or risky, and to devise a new strategy for reconnecting with your best self. Therapy should feel comfortable so let me know if you want a consultation to help you decide if we are a good fit.

Do you feel anxious, sad, lonely, or isolated? Do you struggle with pain connected to racism, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, or one of the many ways we can be made to feel less than or not ourselves? As we build a relationship together, your thoughts, feelings, experiences, fears, and fantasies will be heard and treated with respect, curiosity, and care.

Finding a therapist who you are comfortable with can help with overcoming periods of feeling trapped in a negative cycle. My goal as your therapist will be to create a safe space where we can explore ways to decrease distress, so that you can live life feeling lighter and unburdened. Therapy is a journey you and I take together. In times of pain and discomfort, we have the potential to grow into a stronger version of ourselves.

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.

Sayuri (Julie) Heinl

Have you looked at yourself in the mirror and not recognize the person looking back at you? Do you ever wonder how you went from 0-60? Do you do things in the moment—yell, scream, shut down, pretend like you don’t care—and wish you could take it back? If you are filled with anger, sadness, anxiety, fear, mistrust, and negativity, it will inevitably seep into your relationships with those you love. These parts of us tend to push others away, even though what we most desire is peace & connection.
