Pamela Hays
Counselor, MBA, MA, LPC
Verified
I provide psychotherapy to individuals, adults, couples, families, adolescents (11-18). My general areas of interest are autistic spectrum disorders, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationships, eating disorders and trauma, and obsessive compulsive problems. My experience has been that psychological change and changes in life circumstances become possible and more probable when a person understands how their mind works; how thoughts and feelings influence what happens internally and in relation to others. Therapy can help a patient obtain a greater degree of control in managing feeling states and the thoughts related to these.
Sylvia Simpson
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MD, MPH

At midlife or beyond and trying to discover who you really are and what you're meant to do with your life? Having trouble coping with change and loss? Searching for meaning or purpose in life? Carl Jung called the process of self-discovery and self-acceptance in the second half of life: "individuation". He believed that the things that happen to us in life are required for us to fulfill our unique destiny. This process of self-discovery and self-acceptance can be facilitated by Jungian analysis which helps us discover the meaning and wisdom hidden in our dreams.

Would you like to approach mental health from a Christian, faith-based perspective? Are you trying to navigate an issue and find yourself stuck? Is your marriage in distress? Is your teenage daughter having a hard time? Are you working through grief? Are you a pastor who needs someone to talk to? Maybe you're not comfortable in a formal counseling setting or you have concerns about whether a secular counselor will validate or incorporate your religious beliefs.

Shari Gootter
Counselor, MA, LPC, CRC
Verified
Navigating through changes and transitions can be challenging and alienating. I offer a new perspective and a helpful therapeutic partnership. I feel it is a true privilege to be part of one's healing journey. My practice is inspired by Person Centered Therapy and a diverse study of methods ranging from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance, Commitment, and strengths-based therapy. I believe that no two clients are the same, and that a practice must be an individualized collaboration based on mutual authenticity and honesty. These are among the compassionate qualities which allow for a genuine therapeutic alliance.
Sirius Heart
Counselor, LAC, MA, NCC
Verified
Hi, my name is Sirius Heart (they/them), therapist and somatic practitioner. My work is to help you re-integrate from trauma, intensity, and sensory overwhelm, and return to your body. I am a politicized practitioner invested in non-carceral, community care. I believe embodiment is a radical act of liberation from empire and colonial systems of oppression. The somatics and ritual work I practice will help you return to connection with yourself, the collective, and other than human kin (ancestors, spirits, plants, animals). My practice is neurodivergent and disability/healing justice informed and led (I am neurodivergent myself).

Katie Brazaitis
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
Welcome! My approach to therapy is rooted in the concept of validation and change. I believe in the role of compassionate understanding of our histories and ourselves to make sense of why we do what we do. When this understanding is coupled with a commitment to growing and healing (a commitment I will help you sustain when the going gets tough!), we are able to make desired changes, and in turn, transform from just getting by to thriving. I work with adults in areas of trauma/PTSD, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, personality disorders, suicidal ideations, and other concerns.
Barbara Andrews
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
Life today is highly stressful. Enough stress over a prolonged period of time undermines our potential for living, working, and loving at an optimal level.
Work, school, finances, relationships, parenting, health concerns, care taking, and loss can be stressful aspects of life. In additional to external stress there is internal stress caused by unresolved hurts, fears, traumas, negative thoughts, harsh self judgments, and worries. The interplay between the external and internal stress can play havoc with our lives. It can lead to anxiety, depression, addictive behaviors, health related issues, physical/emotional exhaustion and compromised relationships.
John G Carlson
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
In my psychotherapy I work with both men and women adults of all ages, civilian or military, who feel overwhelmed by stress. I believe that people's psychological issues result mainly from stressful social events--whether in the person's past or present life, or both. Childhood experiences, prior social learning, current needs and obstacles, difficult family members, friends, supervisors, co-workers, and other concerns, all contribute to stress. In turn, a person may feel unpleasant emotions and a lack of personal control, a strong desire for change, and the need for support, advice, and alternative ways to live.
Allison McGillivray
Counselor, MA, LAC
Verified
Therapy is life changing and enriching as you raise your awareness and learn new ways to mange your life and emotions. I believe one of the most courageous things a person can do is begin to understand their own story and the challenges that have brought them to therapy for guidance and support. In my experience clients have and demonstrate the capacity which all of us harbor which allows for healing, feeling better, cultivating fulfilling relationships and breaking through stuck points. Sometimes untangling a big knot takes a fresh pair of eyes.
