Are you feeling overwhelmed or stuck as you navigate a major life change? You're not alone. Life transitions come in many forms; positive or unwelcome, anticipated or unexpected. These changes can challenge your ability to cope, whether you are going through a career change, grieving a loved one, recovering from
traumatic brain
injury, considering retirement, returning to work after a stroke, or are helping a loved one with dementia. The focus of my practice is to help clients find comfort in moments of change and reinvention, and to develop coping methods for the rest of the journey.

There are many paths up the mountain. I believe that each individual is as unique as the pathway they select in life. On every path there are difficult challenges that bring questions. Why do I feel this way? What am I missing? Is what I'm feeling a mental illness? Is my brain functioning properly? Do I need professional help?

Need a therapist to jump into the thick of the muck with you, create a safe place to be vulnerable or talk about all the things you never thought you would say out loud? You've found your therapeutic sweet spot! You have a story & deserve to talk to someone. I geek out over meeting you where you are and understanding your unique needs. Equity & access to therapy are essential: from the convenience of home, no commute, no stigma, & complete confidentiality. Whether brief, life transition, a safe outlet, or a longer goal, you deserve to be heard, and you deserve self-care. Live true to yourself and be proud to show up for yourself!

Zoë Hall
Marriage & Family Therapist Associate, MA, AMFT, APCC
Verified
I enjoy supporting individuals around issues such as stress management, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, behavioral/substance addiction, and complex/developmental trauma. My work and life’s passion are centered around a belief that we all have the capacity to heal ourselves when we feel connection, compassion, and support from others. Our bodies contain a unique inner wisdom that helps guide the path back to our true selves. Becoming reacquainted with who we really are on a core level, combined with practicing effective communication strategies with others, allows for greater emotional, mental, and spiritual freedom.
Amaris Avellan
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA

Hi! In a world where so many of us regularly get the message that we are flawed, I think it is important to start by saying something that we might not hear so regularly, which is, that it is okay to be you. But if I’m being honest, being yourself is not always an easy thing to do. As a therapist, I place priority in creating a therapy environment where clients feel safe to share the most authentic versions of themselves without fear of judgement. In addition to a safe therapeutic space, my goal is to assist clients on their paths towards self-expression and self-acceptance no matter where they are in their journey.

My primary focus in private practice is evaluation and assessment for a variety of psychological conditions, such as ADHD, Autism, Mood Disorders, Learning Disabilities and Personality Disorders.
The second focus I have is treatment. I have an integrative approach to therapy in which I use multiple modalities that fit my clients’ individual needs. Some of the modalities I use are interpersonal therapy, supportive therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

Chantel Miller
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, MFT, PPS
Verified
I’ve been a practicing Therapist for 20 years and I love to help people become healthier emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. I tend to relate easily to my clients, listening to their concerns and am able to provide guidance when it is appropriate. I feel that it is important for the therapist and the client to have a good connection in order to help in the therapy process. I initially use Cognitive Behavioral and Solution Focused Therapies, but as I get to know my clients more and their specific difficulties I will use other modalities as necessary. Let's chat to see if we would be a good match as a Therapist and client.
David Jacobs
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
My practice focuses on psychological evaluations for children, adolescents, adults, and seniors. Some reasons folks seek my help is to assess for autism, intellectual deficits, learning disorders, ADHD, as well as to address possible depression/anxiety that often accompany these conditions. In some cases, I am asked to perform testing to inform the efficacy of ADHD/ADD medication through the use of continuous performance testing. My approach is to learn about the whole person rather than rely on tests alone to produce an evaluation best suited to your needs.

Congatulations on your decision to consider therapy! As a seasoned therapist, I've found that talking about life, intimacy and relationships is never easy. When you're having problems, it's even harder! Since 1978 I've been helping people overcome their most intimate problems. For example, there's so much shame and secrecy about sex, which often prevents people from seeking the help they need. I have extensive experience working with a wide range of problems. I specialize in assisting with sexual problems and have successfully helped numerous sexually compulsive people, and assisted many couples in repairing and revitalizing relationships.
