Renee Ketchum
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA

I work with individuals and couples who are motivated to begin the process of change. Growth can be vulnerable; I provide a safe environment for couples struggling to connect, to feel heard, who are looking to repair after after conflict and feel connected again. Drawing the "big ideas" from popular couples therapy modalities, I help couples de-escalate, build trust, reflect their partner's concerns and resolve difficult patterns of communication. I also work with individuals who are looking to build off their strengths, gain insight, increase resilience and achieve their goals.

Ellen Garavatti
Marriage & Family Therapist Associate, MA, AMFT
Verified
Maybe you've been feeling confused, worried, or just in friction with work, your relationship, school, or your day-today activities. It's like the harder you try, the more stuck things get. Often, you understand WHAT is happening, but how it feels and why is very foggy. How much longer can I (or we) do this for? I'm exhausted; we're exhausted. I'd like to offer that this is not "just how life is". Your life can be easier. Your relationship can be more accessible & consistent. You can feel more confident, more at ease, & more aligned.

You've lost track of your real self. You too often feel immobilized or lost. Depression, anxiety, anger, numbness or substance abuse can be excruciating. Therapy can actively support you to get "back on track." Let's get started. Your life is waiting.
Krista Kleeman
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Verified
We want to be seen. We want to be heard. And most importantly we want to be loved and accepted. This is universal. However sometimes we lose our way; experience failure, depression, rejection, trauma, addiction, grief, anxiety, relationship difficulties...myriad things can keep us from our own personal success and my goal is to help my clients identity these barriers, embrace them, and work through them. The life we want is often within reach, but without healing, clarity or self-love can feel galaxies away. Let’s work collaboratively to identify what is getting in your way and what to do to build the life you want for yourself.

Deborah Miller-Froh
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT
Verified
I work with people who are struggling, and decide take the courageous step to ask for help. Many have a history of trauma and suffer from anxiety, depression, eating disorders, addiction, parenting challenges, sleep issues, sexual difficulties, chronic pain, relationship problems, and other post-traumatic responses. Also, present-day situations in our personal or collective worlds can be objectively hard to bear. Our experiences leave traces psychologically and somatically, so I use evidence-based, body-oriented, mindfulness techniques to address limiting patterns so that you can live more authentically today's challenging world.
Amanda Whitten

I offer a genuine, non-judgmental, safe space for individuals to explore all areas of their lives they would like support in. I enjoy working with all types of clients and especially those who are goal-oriented, open-minded and motivated to work toward change they want to see in their lives. I begin the therapeutic process with attachment-based interventions by exploring childhood and how it has shaped the personality and views of the individual. While attachment-based methods are a favorite of mine, I do also tailor the methods used based on what I believe is best for the individual to reach their goals.
