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.

You’re feeling stuck, struggling to overcome creative blocks, navigating the uncertainty of freelancing, or trying to find the work-life balance you need. You’re weighed down by the pressure to succeed and comparison with your peers. I offer a non-judgmental space for growth, change, and deeper connection. I offer compassionate, LGBTQ+ inclusive, culturally sensitive care and specialize in working with creative professionals, artists, and entrepreneurs.

Katie Hauser

I work closely with adults of varying age and life experience - particularly those clients who are struggling with anxiety and depression, those experiencing relationship difficulty, identify as LGBTQIA+, are participants in non-monogamous and polyamorous, kink and alt-sex communities, and those who are simply looking for a practitioner whose approach is non-judgmental and genuinely sex-positive.

My clients are often creative, sensitive and inquisitive individuals who appreciate my practicing therapy as more of an art than a science.

I’ve helped first timers and those with experience in therapy alike open up, find clarity, and come to terms with their inner turmoil.

Nora Dankner

I love to help folks get "unstuck," whether that's about relationship issues, family conflict, career, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, loss, divorce, and other life transitions. I work with clients to disrupt unhelpful patterns, heal wounds, and find creative approaches to life’s challenges. I also enjoy the challenge of helping couples navigate conflict and learn the potential healing power of increased closeness in their relationship.

I accompany you on your journey to harness your creativity, power, and motivation. I will be with you in your pain and your joy.
