Making a commitment to focus on you and your needs, even just a little bit each week is a simple but profound
act
of self care and self love that can change everything and move you towards a life filled with meaning, purpose, and joy.
Hi, I’m Dr. Melissa Murren, a clinical psychologist specialized in health and wellness. I help people who are undergoing life transitions, such as mid life, body image, identity issues, changes caused by illness, disability, chronic pain, caregiving, grief and loss, or other changes that are causing you to question who you are and where you fit in. If life is changing too fast and you're having trouble making sense of it all, I can help. If you're experiencing anxiety, depression, sleepless nights, difficulty concentrating, feeling worried and preoccupied, or otherwise just don't feel like yourself, I can help.
Ronald Louis Kaufman
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
Since we focus on short term solutions to serious or longstanding issues we generally employ a combination of neurofeedback and CBT (ie, RET,
ACT
and RBT.
In 2012, Dr. Ron Kaufman leased his first BrainPaint® computer in hopes of overcoming career-ending pain. Two months later he was fully ambulatory. He decided to see what it might do for others. He helped a veteran overcome 35 years of severe PTSD, (his psychiatrist halved his meds, then halved them again). His two sons learned were able to discontinue their ADHD medications. Their cousins enjoyed similar results. Because of his successes with neurofeedback, Dr. Kaufman opened clinics where others could enjoy the benefits of psychotherapy and neurofeedback treating anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, chronic pain and substance abuse.

Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Verified
Someone who attends to you with
acceptance
, support and genuine curiosity, exploring how you make sense of your world.
We all live in a world of stories...The meaning we attach to these stories become a template of how we feel about ourselves. The emotional outcome of this thinking can be depression, anxiety and at other times, happiness. What is the meaning of these stories? I believe facts bring us to knowledge, but stories lead us to wisdom. Therapy is a creative and supportive process of getting to know your true self, of re-authoring the old story and writing a new one. Discover who you are... apart from the problem, and find an unexpected path to build inner strength and resources.

Do you need a little more support and structure in your life? I run a variety of high energy groups to help keep you on track, including "I Hate Weekends" (a Sunday support group for people who tend to isolate on the weekends), "You Can't Stop The Waves, But You Can Learn To Surf" (a cognitive therapy group for depression and anxiety), and "Back to Life, Back to Reality" (a life transition group). It's amazing what can happen when people stop being polite and start getting real...

*CASELOAD FULL* Many survivors of trauma feel isolated from their supportive relationships and community, feeling intense and persistent fear, anxiety, agitation, and at times disconnection. Trauma dramatically shifts our experiences of the world and how we relate to others, leaving many feeling alone and stuck simply surviving. Trauma is a psychological injury, and is reparable and treatable. With a multimodal approach, I help clients restore a sense of safety in their environment and within themselves, deeply heal traumatic injuries, and reconnect within relationships and engage in meaningful lives.

You are going through a life transition and needing support to navigate it. You are balancing your different roles. You want to do it all. Your mind is constantly racing. You’re worried about the next thing on your to-do list. You feel guilty for saying no. You question your worth and worry that your best is not good enough in your relationships, career, or familial life. You are aware of emotional and thinking patterns that are holding you back and you want to break these patterns. You are aware of certain past wounds and want to heal. If any of these statements resonate, you are not alone and therapy can help.

At the end of therapy clients often tell me they "feel like themselves again." Difficulties such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and relational conflict may have alienated you from others and yourself. This is an incredibly hard and lonely place to be. I consider it one of life's greatest honors to walk with people through their times of difficulty as they find their way back home to hope.

Life is a journey and we the people experience the most unexpected moments that become life changing. Unfortunately, some of the experiences and life events leave us with feelings of hurt, grief and hopelessness. It is normal to feel sad, hopeless, guilty, shameful but it is not okay to make them life sentences. I believe that early intervention and finding an emphatic, non-judgmental professional brings one step closer into the healing process.

I believe one of the bravest acts in life is to turn inward and start to discover yourself and understand your story.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists

ACT is a form of mindfulness based therapy, theorizing that greater well-being can be attained by overcoming negative thoughts and feelings.
