As a sex addiction therapist, trained EMDR clinician, and nationally certified psychotherapist, I work with individuals struggling with intense urges, emotions, and conflict. New clients come to me feeling isolated, in pain, and on edge due to having nowhere to express their toughest emotions. Many grew up in a traumatic family of origin with messages like "Suck it up" and "Don't cry" being taught to them. My clients come to me to say the things that they couldn't otherwise say to anyone else.

Hello! I am Karen Johnson, Licensed Professional Counselor. When you decide it is time to work with a therapist, it can be a frightening, daunting process. However, therapeutic healing comes in the context of a compassionate, non-judgmental, highly empathic relationship. I will provide this for you as we explore your inner world together. You do not need to do it alone. My expertise is in helping individuals build and strengthen healthy relationships with self and others. More specifically, I work with women's issues, relational issues, self worth, trauma, depression, and anxiety.

Reaching out for support takes strength and courage. I respect this, and my aim is to create a calm, inviting atmosphere where a deep sense of trust can grow between client and therapist. I believe that pain shared is pain lessened and that people can and do recover from issues that have been troubling them for years. I have found that many people enter therapy not because of a complex mental health issue but because of a general feeling of life not being what they would like it to be. Let me be a catalyst of change for you.

Hello! My name is Melanie, but everyone calls me Mia. I know how disorienting life can feel in the aftermath of betrayal, loss and trauma. I also know that therapy can be a powerful tool to help people recover their sense of purpose and safety.

You can expect me to show up as a sensitive, challenging and collaborative partner on this journey.

Hi there. I’m not sure what has taken place in your life to search for a counselor, but I imagine you as brave for doing just that. The idea of opening the door into change is a risky prospect – what will the journey be like on the other side? Sometimes the unknown in itself is enough to keep us married to our current predicament. And yet, there’s still a part of you (however large or small right now) that wonders about something different. I think of that part as Hope. Hope stirs curiosity inside of us and invites us to reimagine our circumstances. Hope has led you here.

I specialize in couples, working with those experiencing conflict, conflict-avoidance, infidelity/trust issues, communication problems, parenting/co-parenting struggles, and or when one or both partners experience depression, anxiety, or trauma. Relationships are the most important things in our lives, and when we get disconnected, everything in life can feel so much harder. I also see individuals who are struggling with self-worth issues, excessive worry, past history of trauma. Therapy can do a world of good, especially when life has been painful. I am dedicated to the therapy process, and help clients find hope and relief.

Perhaps you prioritize the needs of others, to your own detriment, while compromising on boundaries in an effort to seek acceptance. You know you want authentic connection, but anxiety and depression cripple your ability to build the life you want. Your needs matter, and I would be honored to hold space for the parts of you that long to be heard.

Hi, I’m Q Boston. I work with couples who feel divided because of fights about finances. Too many marriages are being destroyed by money problems and it’s leaving couples feeling disconnected, lonely, and frustrated. I know how challenging it can be to have productive conversations with your spouse about money - especially without it ending in a fight. BUT, I believe that money issues are solvable. I also understand that the issues are often about more than just money and that they take work to get to the root of.
