Suffering from anxiety, depression, or substance abuse often means unhealthy thought patterns/actions are reinforcing cognitive distortions and destructive behaviors. Anxiety leads to avoidance of situations that potentiate more anxiety, yet fears of triggering stimuli remain active. Depression is constituted by biases towards negative thoughts, and without challenging unfounded beliefs about one's worth or abilities, depression persists. Those abusing alcohol or other drugs cannot participate in life unaided by the numbing effect substances generate. These individuals are stuck, not broken. If motivated, they may all recover.

I work with individuals, couples and families using an integrative approach to therapy that is tailored to your needs and personality. My style is supportive and collaborative, drawing upon your existing strengths while also building the trust and safety to talk about sensitive topics or explore difficult feelings. Whether you are experiencing career or school stress, struggling with symptoms of depression or anxiety, working through grief or managing interpersonal challenges, I will support you in shifting out of the unhelpful patterns that stand in the way to living a life of meaning, purpose and inspiration.

If you are seeking a therapist for yourself, or for your child or teen, you may have observed concerning changes in one or more important domains: social, academic, or behavioral. You, or your child or teen, may be experiencing anxiety, depression, or less pleasure in activities previously enjoyed, or perhaps may be experiencing less joy and success – or more frustration, fear, or isolation – in school, at home, or in peer relationships. As a marriage and family therapist, I help children, teens, and adults to thrive – in school, in their families, in relationships … in life. My style is collaborative, skills-based, and respectful.

Welcome! I'm Madison Horning, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist dedicated to helping you find balance and harmony in your life. Clients I typically work with are teenagers and adults. They usually are seeking support around body & self-image issues, eating disorders, uncomfortable emotions or urges, relationship struggles, rumination, anxiety, or depression.

I specialize in working with children and teens who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and behavioral issues.

Do you have a child who has trouble expressing their feelings and needs appropriately? Who has difficulty getting along well with others? Who doesn't stay calm when frustrated or stressed ? Maybe your child doesn't have the strategies and skills for handling life's challenges. Do you feel confident about your parenting and the social climate in your family? I know how to help your family live together in peace and happiness! Contact me and let's talk about how I can help you and your family!

Hello - I am a psychotherapist (MFT) and a physician (Integrative pediatrics and pain management). My therapy and medical backgrounds inform each other, but as a psychotherapist, I do not actively manage medical issues.

Do you have a child or “tween” that is highly sensitive, bright, and a bit overwhelmed? Do they have trouble identifying and managing strong feelings? Could they use help developing positive coping strategies? Are they struggling to communicate with peers, parents, or siblings? In my private practice office, I specialize in helping children understand the benefits of their sensitivity and how to manage its inherent challenges. And I can help you… help them.

What stands between you and a greater enjoyment of life? Are you in the midst of a challenging time and yearn for additional support? Are you awake at night worrying about your child? Do you dream about having more harmony in your family life? I love working with individuals, children and families to help them find their own unique solutions so that they can enjoy life to the fullest. My role as your therapist is to help you find lasting change and to create strategies for addressing life's challenges that keep you true to your own path.

As a Relationship Therapist I help Individuals, and couples, and families overcome tough issues and discover deeper more fulfilling relationships. I specialize in Infidelity Recovery. Discovering that you have been cheated on and lied to is a painful and traumatic experience that can cause many feelings such as despair, anger, sadness, rage, fear and loss. If you were unfaithful, realizing the depth of the pain caused, and the guilt associated with it is often unbearable. However, there is hope; getting over the betrayal, takes a skilled experienced therapist. I respond 12/7 for urgent matters.

In quiet moments, when the chaos of the outside world has faded away, we often reflect on our lives and wonder, “How did I get here?” Your therapeutic care is my priority. We all hold a wise internal compass that provides valuable whispers to invite purpose and direction into our lives. I hold a trusting and safe space where you can slow down, go at your own pace, and explore a greater sense of your true wholeness connected to an authentic inner vision. You will identify a future based on a solid sense of self, believing and trusting in yourself, thinking bravely, and moving towards a more fulfilling life.

Are you worried about your child, teen or young adult but unsure how to help them? You can see something has changed in them: perhaps they seem depressed, anxious, or isolated in ways they didn’t used to be. You want them to learn skills to deal with life's challenges and resolve the issues that are holding them back. Because more than anything, you want to see your child thrive. My practice focuses on the unique needs of children 4+ through young adulthood and their families. I create developmentally appropriate, customized treatment plans using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies, art and play therapy interventions.

My approach is to provide empathic, warm, and collaborative care. My goal is to meet you where you are. I want to understand your struggles as best I can, so we can start to navigate the path forward. I will listen openly and without judgment. I will provide a safe space for holding wherever you may be at this time. For some I may mostly be listening, for others I may offer creative problem solving approaches. We will work together to create a balance that is right for you. This is your journey. I am here to help.

I bring warmth, humor, compassion, clarity and understanding to my work. I support couples and families in improving communication, expressing feelings, resolving conflict, and establishing clearer roles. I encourage parents to set fair and firm limits and establish healthy boundaries. I assist individuals and families in becoming more confident, hopeful, cooperative and relaxed. I support relating with clarity, serenity, and loving kindness. I use mentalization based therapy (MBT) and systems therapy as primary approaches, but can use CBT, DBT, ACT, motivational interviewing, attachment or other approches as needed.

I specialize in working with individuals with social learning deficits. During intake calls, many parents report their child to have some (or all) of the following traits: Very bright (above average IQ), better with adults and younger children than with peers, interrupts, trouble with balanced conversation (tends to monologue or doesn't contribute), struggles with losing, challenges with emotional regulation and impulse control, inflexible, strong language abilities, difficulty with perspective taking, wants to engage with others but often gets stuck, trouble with problem-solving, and/or executive function challenges.

I specialize in helping adults, teens, romantic partners, and families heal from hurt, trauma and shame in order to become better connected to themselves and one another. The majority of my practice focuses on healing emotional wounds, anxiety, and improving your relationships (including experiences of divorce and blended families). I work collaboratively with you to set goals for therapy that are curated to your individual preferences and needs, and I often draw from Attachment Theory, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and somatic awareness.

My name is Dr. R. Austin Heafey - I am a licensed clinical psychologist who works with children, adolescents, parents and families. While every client is unique, my fundamental aim remains the same: improve self-esteem, build self-confidence and enrich my patient's self-worth. When a person has faith in their abilities and feels comfortable with who they are, they are better able to engage with the world they live in, the family they belong to and the life they deserve to experience. Put simply, my objective is to improve my patient's quality of life.

Many people seek therapy to help them explore their identity and/or navigate difficult times in their lives. Sometimes people do not quite know what is wrong, but sense that there is something holding them back from doing what they hope to do, or making it hard for their families to navigate changes and transitions. Often people seek therapy to help them manage a health or mental health diagnosis while maintaining a meaningful life. Some have had therapy before, but want to explore some newer approaches.
