Beginning therapy can be daunting, which is why I work hard to provide an experience that is comfortable and relatable. Whether you are dealing with a difficult life transition, searching for clarity in a relationship, or having trouble managing emotional ups and downs, I am here to help with a calm, compassionate approach. I view therapy as a partnership where collaboration and honesty are vitally important. This holds true in my work with children as well as adults.

I work with trauma, mental health, addictions, codependency, grief and loss. I focus on a humanistic, client-centered, collaborative approach that highlights your internal wisdom through trauma-informed care. I find it especially important to explore the influence of layered systems such as social injustices, intergenerationality, cultural and socioeconomic complexities of the human experience to take into account a big picture perspective to help with your adversities. My passion is helping change systems one person at a time.

It is within the safety of this unique relationship that positive, life changes can occur. Please take time to read about my practice below and see if I would be a good fit for you.

The trials and tribulations we face as humans can seem almost unbearable at times. Significant losses or stressful life events can leave us feeling sad, angry, alone, and/or hopeless. These changes in our lives can not only affect our mood but also our physical health, work, and relationships.
Paula Kenney
Marriage & Family Therapist, PsyD, LMFT
Verified
So often we compromise our own needs to please someone else. We might have learned to do this as children to get along with our parents and family members. As we move into adulthood, this habit stays with us and can cause us to feel lonely, confused, not good enough, and a sense that something important is missing in our lives.

Tracy Collins Therapy
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT

Hi! I'm Tracy! I specialize in working with adults who experience depression, a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest. It can affect how you feel, think, and behave. It can affect your daily life activities, sleep, social life, appetite, and even cause physical problems. There are many possible causes of depression, including genetic vulnerability, stressful life events, and faulty mood regulation by the brain. I am here to help with all of that.

Everyone has a distinctive story which creates a lasting impact in one's life. This impact can alter the way one thinks, feels, and acts and leads to seeking help.

As your therapist, I believe my role is to bring awareness and facilitate a safe space for you to become the best version of yourself at this season in your life. Let's face it and BE REAL! When we are mentally doing well, our mood is better, our relationships better and our lives more fulfilling.
Tatiana Glebova
Marriage & Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
Verified
Do you feel you tried your best to resolve your problems in vain? Do you feel stuck in your efforts to make your relationship work? Therapy may seem unnatural -you are hiring a stranger to look into your personal problems. However, when everything else fails, it is a smart decision to seek external help and use accumulated wisdom and professional knowledge which may provide you with new perspectives and insights. My approach to therapy is to discover untapped resources and strengths within your relationships and yourself to help you find solutions for your problems.
Peter Kirchner
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
I tailor my treatment to the specific needs of each client. I work at establishing a therapeutic alliance so that clients become more able to observe, assess and reflect on their emotions and symptoms, gaining awareness to their true feelings. Results are achieved in a collaberative atmosphere of emotional safety, trust and unconditional acceptance that leads to understanding and healing. Changes brought about by this treatment are not meant to be temporary, but tend to be permanent. I work with adults, adolescents and couples who seek to resolve conflicts, stop repetitive dysfunctional patterns and develop deep emotional connections.
Hannah Collentine-Cole
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, PPSC
Verified
We all carry stories. We have strengths, we have challenges, and we can be full of contradictions. All of that is okay. I believe that our fullest, messiest, most authentic selves should be celebrated. Most of my clients are parents and/or young professionals who struggle with symptoms of anxiety, depression, and burnout. I am particularly passionate about supporting women as they navigate pregnancy, motherhood, and balancing a multitude of roles and responsibilities.
Britnie Martin
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT
Verified
Something I believe in greatly is that reaching out for help can be a very vulnerable experience, but also a great attribute of strength and resilience. While nobody’s story is the same, at some point in life everyone may come across obstacles or struggles that may seem too difficult, especially alone.
Dennis L Kuik
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
I have been working in mental health as a social worker for 30 years; working with individuals from all walks of life, with a variety of challenging issues. Often times we can face our problems on our own, but sometimes it helps to have someone to listen and process the challenges we are facing. As a therapist, my philosophy is to listen to your story and meet you where you are at.
