We seek to serve those who are experiencing suffering whether that may be from mental illness, traumatic experiences, life transitions, grief, spiritual questions or other issues.

Learning how to move through life's moments with ease and grace creates lasting resiliency and agility. My clients come from diverse backgrounds, including: Business leaders seeking to boost their confidence and competence for current or future roles. Individuals navigating emotional, psychological, physical, and spiritual challenges. Couples and families striving to nurture healthier relationships. Adults and teenagers in pursuit of greater resiliency and executive functioning. Men determined to lead a life driven by principles.

Healing is possible. Whether you are a young person in a process of self-discovery or an adult seeking more clarity and satisfaction in your life, I am here, and I am fully committed to supporting you. Life undoubtedly brings turbulent waves of pain that can leave us feeling empty, achy, and anxiety-ridden. These times of doubt, when held with loving attention and curiosity, can become potent opportunities to make way for transformational change. Perhaps, this support allows you to move towards what feeds your spirit, establish your footing in this world, and share your unique gifts.

I am a mindfulness-inspired, somatic psychotherapist. At the core of my work, I value bringing deep respect for your unique lived experiences, curiosity to understand your individual system – in its wounding and in its wellness, and kindness to study together how these lived experiences impact your current life and relationships. I feel honored to travel into the unknown together, guiding and supporting you as we explore & deepen into important themes to assist the unfolding of new insights. I attend to opportunities to find and feel new experiences which support you in your goals to live life in more fulfilling, satisfying ways.

As far as everyone is concern, "you have an amazing life". "You have a partner who "loves you, gives you the world" or maybe "you are lucky to be single". "You can date whomever you like and not have to answer to anyone". But what if your experience of yourself and your life is completely different from what everyone else sees. What if life does not feel so amazing? What if even though you have a partner, you feel as though you are living separate lives; no joy, no intimacy, no sex, just constant bickering? What if you are tired of being alone, tired of the lack of connection? Tired of not having the relationship you desire?

There are many struggles we face in life and sometimes we don’t feel properly equipped. Issues with money, food, relationships, trust, sex, body, self-esteem… come up and sometimes we get stuck using very well-intended safety strategies that no longer work. Whatever struggles you are facing, we can work together to identify how they came to be, why they are important, and what you need to transcend them. This process is invaluable, profound and deeply fulfilling. My job is to support you to do the work of staying with the process, being aware when you need to pull back or move in and encourage your continued commitment to yourself.

Are you experiencing symptoms of anxiety, panic, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) or struggling with a phobia? Perhaps you're having a difficult time sleeping or find yourself worrying about bad things happening or what people think of you? You could be experiencing unwanted thoughts that you are unable to let go of, or fear losing control and something bad happening. You may be struggling to move past something difficult that happened and its taking away from your quality of life. Living with anxiety can be crippling, but with evidenced based treatment, symptoms can improve quickly.

Currently Accepting NEW Clients- Hello, my name is Zach DePledge. In the 12 years I have been working in mental health I have grown a passion in working with teenagers, young adults, and parents. Society places so much pressure on us these days to be perfect. What I have found is the comparison game we play in our minds destroys our self-esteem and can cause anxiety, depression, and many other mental health struggles. Parents are left wondering "am I parenting correctly?" Most of the times we don't talk about our struggles because we don't want to appear weak, in turn we are left struggling alone.

As a parent do you feel overwhelmed? Do you feel as if you have tried everything but nothing works? I can help you and your child persevere through life’s challenges to overcome anxiety, anger, trauma, loss, perfectionism, and adjustment issues. With compassion, perceptiveness, and humor I provide in person play therapy for children ages 4 to 13. In a safe place your child can express his or her feelings, resolve problems, and learn essential life skills.

I would like to offer you a genuine connection. One where safety and trust is not only valued, but prioritized as a means to deepen. My approach is first and foremost about fostering the therapeutic relationship itself. My focus is client-centered and rapport-oriented to cultivate a relationship where all of you is welcome. I understand the complexity of feelings and thoughts, and how they may feel overwhelming, uncomfortable, incongruent, challenging, or conflicting. I offer skills and tools to help befriend these parts so they feel more manageable. I believe healing is not linear and am here to support you on your unique journey.

I believe our natural state is health toward which we constantly strive. Sometimes, we encounter situations that interrupt this process. These interferences can occur at any point during our lives and they sometimes leave us searching for ways to cope. There are many ways to heal, and I engage psychotherapy from a contemplative lens. I specialize in healing through a depth approach and I work with people to uncover the wisdom of their true essence. I use tools such as talk therapy, dream exploration, writing, and tarot toward this effort.

My ideal client is someone who is struggling and needs support quickly. His/her/their issues could range with some mood dys-regulation to overwhelmed and stressed and/or dealing with trauma. Your goals would be to alleviate symptoms and obtain relief quickly, feel more balance and have more tools to help manage stressors. Perhaps, you are interested in gaining more awareness to your own thoughts, feelings, and sensations. My goal is to help people feel more emotionally regulated. I have worked in this field since 2008 and have a vast knowledge of strategies and techniques to use with you.

YOU are the expert of your own experience, and it's an honor for me to work alongside you to create the life you desire. Trauma, PTSD, ADHD and neurodivergency, and LGBTQIA+ issues are a few of my specialty areas. I aim to provide a safe space where you feel comfortable and confident exploring your inner-self, nurturing your relationships, expanding your deepest curiosities, and healing any emotional wounds along the way. It's a huge step to reach out for support. The journey may be difficult–therapy is not easy–but my goal is for each client to have a positive therapeutic experience while we're working together.

Talk therapy for your intersecting identities. We are adept at navigating the difficult and complex conversations about your intersecting identities that can ebb and flow over one's life. In addition, we are committed to ongoing education and skilled at therapeutic intervention for psychological healing. By talking through the challenges you face, we collaborate with you to interrupt old patterned behavior and install new conclusions and behaviors that lead to constructive coping, personal growth, increased self-awareness, and feeling more comfortable within yourself.

Therapy can be an intimidating undertaking. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental, and welcoming space to explore areas of your life that you would like to address. I bring a holistic approach to my therapy. I work with you to explore your background, environment, patterns of behavior, core beliefs, and experiences that have impacted you in both positive and negative ways. Together we can examine interpersonal relationships, identify strengths, and find solutions to everyday difficulties. My hope is that you will have a restored sense of self that helps you to achieve your personal goals.

The poet Rainer Maria Rilke wisely states, “If we surrendered to earth’s intelligence, we could rise up rooted, like trees.” Art therapy and other mindfulness-based therapies allow you to bypass your defenses and programming to access a deeper knowing. Find guidance to do this brave and healing work. Come discover your natural intelligence and help heal and grow from the trauma and patterns you wish to be free from. If you are feeling stuck or lost, come learn tools to support you in the everyday to emotionally regulate, find deep self-compassion, and express your true self.

As a therapist, I specialize in helping individuals who grapple with various issues including addiction, depression, and anxiety. My goal is to provide a safe, judgment-free space for you to explore your struggles. Together, we'll uncover the underlying causes of your symptoms, work through your depression, and manage anxiety effectively. I am here to offer understanding, support and effective coping strategies tailored to your unique situation, so that you can regain control of your life, find inner peace, and cultivate healthier habits.

Life's challenges can be difficult to navigate on your own. Whether you are affected by current or past traumatic events, relationship issues, feeling stuck, lost, anxious, depressed, or just seeking to further your personal growth, talking with someone who can act as a mirror can help. Therapy is not only a valuable tool to support you through the hardest times - counseling can also help you identify your strengths and tap into inner wisdom for lasting, organic healing in all phases of life! Our sessions will be tailored to your needs, and can adapt as your goals evolve.
