"Our life experiences affect how we view the world and our confidence in navigating through it. Therapy provides an opportunity to examine how these life experiences strengthen and challenge us. Experiencing a traumatic event can cause the world to feel like a dangerous place and result in feeling incompetent in handling daily life tasks. Addressing trauma in therapy can decrease fear and increase confidence in regaining control of your life."

"Being a Counselor has allowed me to let compassion take the wheel, and win the battle every single time. In my practice I currently offer individual and group counseling, sober companionship services, and web-based therapy. I received my education and clinical training in Trauma Counseling. My theoretical orientations are predominantly Existential, Pragmatic and Humanistic. My areas of specialty include: polyamory, eating disorders, interpersonal issues, and emotional and behavioral struggles."

"Creative, practical treatment that promotes resilience and helps you build the life you imagine. I don't believe in lingering too much in the past to help you with the present or future. The past informs our work, but is not the general focus of it. I am intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and use the skills-based model as the foundation of our work, combined with a warm, personal approach derived from a lifetime in the creative arts. When you feel you no longer need to see me, and you trust the coping skills and perspective you have developed, my work is complete, and that is my goal. "

"Therapy allows us to uncover the inner tools and wisdom that help us to get out of our own way. I am often amazed at therapy's ability help us get "unstuck" from the patterns that keep us from experiencing the fullness of life. Whether you struggle with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationships, matters of sexual or gender identity, or some other life transition, together we will uncover the ways in which your unique inner life informs your experience of the world around you."

"Do you desire to move past issues related to food and body, fear and disconnection? To heal the depression and anxiety that is getting in your way of the life you want? Are you ready to begin understanding your mind body connection and how it can be used to deepen your connection with yourself and others? I specialize in traditional psychotherapy as well as yoga therapy to facilitate healing from eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship distress, and more. When appropriate, I utilize yogic philosophy and technique, such as breathing practices, meditation and asana (physical forms), to provide a body centered, whole-self experience of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual healing. Yoga can be integrated into regular psychotherapy or as an adjunct treatment to recovery."

"In my practice, I see people with a variety of concerns about their relationships, careers, and other aspects of their lives. Whether you are experiencing troubling symptoms like depression or anxiety, feeling dissatisfied or held back, or having difficulty coming to terms with loss or other stressful life events, my goal would be to help you understand yourself better, feel more content, and live your life more fully. My approach is kind, thoughtful, and collaborative. I typically start by listening to your story, to get to know you and what led you to seek treatment."

"Therapy is an invaluable opportunity for individuals and couples to learn about themselves and the relationships that they want to cultivate. Whether you are thinking about working through a particular issue, hoping to gain clarity and focus in future decisions, or considering a short-term "check-up", I will work with you in a safe, non-judgmental space that cultivates compassion, healing, and growth. I believe in the power of building on each person/couple's strengths and discovering, through a collaborative approach, new ways to adapt and grow. "

"I am a licensed psychologist specializing in prevention, treatment and ongoing recovery from anxiety, depression, problems with food (too much/too little), obsessions, compulsions, addictions and other situations that cause discomfort in daily living. I can help you manage these problems along with the stress associated with them. I use many techniques of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) but my approach is eclectic depending on the individual needs of my clients and your goals for treatment. My focus is on alleviating symptoms in the short term and improved overall functioning over time."

"My client and service focus is on individuals or entities seeking treatment, psychological evaluations, risk assessment, expert witness representation, and related services for sexual misconduct, sexual abuse, sexual victimization, or trauma. Other areas of specialty include assessment of violence; standards of professional practice; program development; supervision and training of forensic practitioners; treatment or supervision of professionals and clergy with sexual misconduct; pretrial defendants; juveniles delinquency and sexual offending; and supervision or training of clinical personnel involved in various relevant psychological, civil, or criminal justice interventions. Also, I have extensive training in treatment of general psychological conditions as well as providing psychological and psycho-educational evaluations."

"Having the tools we need to navigate our way through life's challenges is often the key to greater happiness and fulfillment. I believe that human beings start from a place of health and resilience. When we have difficult or traumatic experiences, we can often be sidetracked by self-doubt, anxiety, depression and more. This can make life and relationships feel overwhelming, confusing and at times unmanageable. Therapy provides a safe space to explore and understand ourselves better while also developing the tools we need to move forward. Through this process, we can begin to heal from the past while creating a more intentional future."

"I see myself as a life consultant and partner in change. Clients who work with me are tired of feeling stuck in behaviors or emotional ruts that don't afford them freedom to live well. Trying new things, taking risks and experimenting with new ways of thinking, feeling and behaving are all part of the therapy. The client who sees me is ready, willing and, even if a bit scared, ready to find a centered self."

"I strive to create an environment which is affirming and comfortable yet also expect I will challenge clients in their assumptions regarding thoughts, behaviors, and social interactions. I often use humor, clinical vignettes, and use of self (my own experiences) to create a positive therapeutic experience for the clients I serve. I believe therapy is a collaborative process between client and therapist. As such, clients create goals for themselves while therapist assist them in reaching their goals. I want clients to obtain the services that are right for them, as such, I am always willing and happy to provide referrals as needed."

"I can help people suffering from Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia and Binge Eating Disorder. I am also capable of assisting patients dealing with anxiety and stress which often lead to these disorders."

"Chrysalis Psychotherapy for Women specializes in treating professional women interested in understanding themselves better to improve their relationships, change unhealthy patterns and ultimately discover their highest potential. I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with self-injury (cutting, burning and picking of skin) self-esteem issues, anger, trauma, anxiety, depression, and couples counseling. I help clients to develop cognitive behavioral tools in combination with relaxation techniques to help manage symptoms, expand functioning and develop new strategies for moving forward in their lives. I am also an AAMFT approved supervisor offering case consultation and supervision to therapists working towards licensure."

"Being a human being isn't easy. Unfortunately, it seems we are destined at times in our lives to experience pain, fear, confusion, and difficulty. The good news is that it is often through befriending and understanding that which is most painful, frightening, or challenging that we grow and find more enduring freedom and peace. As a therapist, I see my role as offering the nurturing environment within which individuals can better understand themselves and their lives, overcome their challenges, and discover their true potential."

"Providing a safe and accepting place for people to share their stories and seek help with the difficulties that are impacting their lives is my passion. I truly appreciate understanding client's perspectives and helping them move toward mutually established therapeutic goals. My treatment orientation integrates Cognitive-Behavioral, Acceptance and Commitment, and a Systemic approach and is individualized based on the needs of each client."

"I believe that finding the best therapist for you is the first step on the journey of healing and growth. I use an eclectic treatment approach to best match your needs and to join with you on your journey. I would consider myself a warm, empathetic therapist who is both gentle and assertive. Building a strong therapeutic relationship between client and therapist is extremely important for facilitating growth and change."

"Are you feeling anxious or overwhelmed with your life or your relationships? As a Couple & Family Therapist, my goal is to help every client experience loving relationships and a fulfilling life.

I work with children, families, couples, and individuals. Some of my specialties include: grief and loss, trauma, relationship conflict/communication problems, depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. I practice trauma-informed and culturally competent therapy, including elements of mindfulness and meditation."

"Clients who are seeking to be more confident, powerful, and effective are likely to work well with me. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families from a positive psychology perspective--helping them to use their strengths to improve their moods and their lives. I can help people improve their current relationships and their dating success. My interpersonal style is non-judgmental, encouraging, and solution-oriented."
