This is an offer for psychotherapy services for adults, of all ages, who have found it difficult to cope with occurrences in their lives, whether acute or enduring.

I am a licensed psychologist dedicated to working with people going through challenging times in their lives. I am specialized in eating and body image concerns, depression, anxiety, relationships, and life changes. I center my work around each individual’s unique attributes, and I focus on helping people utilize their inherent self-worth, personal strengths, and individual goals. Using this approach, I help navigate the gap between who we know we are and what others expect of us.  I use my warmth and gentle humor to help my clients feel at ease and dig into the work of living their fullest lives.

Chelsea Ansley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 8 years of experience in the field of social work. Chelsea utilizes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) coupled with both strength-based and mindfulness-based approaches to best meet her clients’ (and couples) needs. For couples, Chelsea utilizes the Gottman Method to best help the couple identify problem areas and rebuild their "relationship house" into a safe, stable, healthy, and comfortable home.

Based on my decades of experience with couples, I expect benefits from therapy to appear quickly and for the whole therapy to take months rather than years. I help couples improve their process with my active monitoring of how they communicate with each other. I emphasize the importance of approaching conflicts, and I work to provide a space that encourages this. I don’t specialize within the realm of couple’s work, but I have helped all sorts of people articulate their relationship goals, improve their communicative process, and resolve conflicts about a host of issues from money to sex, from parenting to trust.

Are you and your partner stuck in one or many areas of your relationship? Maybe you struggle to resolve conflicts on your own, and find yourselves repeating the same arguments. Or maybe you just don't feel connected with your partner anymore and you can't quite identify what went wrong.

When you’re neck-deep in the struggle of parenting a child with special needs, taking the step to start your own therapy probably feels impossible. It might feel like just one more thing demanding your attention, one more appointment to keep straight, one more person telling you everything you’re doing wrong. My goal is to help you to feel more grounded and regulated so that all of the other things demanding your attention feel more manageable. I hope to support your parenting journey with a unique skillset that can address both your mental health needs, and bolster your skills around behavior management.

Life can be difficult at times. Every so often people need a safe environment to express their worries and frustrations. I enjoy working with adults and young adults to help alleviate anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I see a client's full potential and hold onto that vision for them until they can begin to see it for themselves. I will challenge you in various ways to help increase your self-esteem and view yourself in a more positive light.

The holidays can be an extremely difficult occasion. Around this time of year, we are often tempted to put our self-care practices on the back-burner, saying that we will return to them in the New Year. However, I offer clients a space to reflect on their past year, noting the changes, losses, and celebrations they may have experienced. I look forward to hearing from you and offering a space to help you decide what you would like to take into 2024 and what you are ready to leave behind.

I specialize in helping people cope with life changes, with these changes coming in so many forms, sometimes planned and sometimes very unexpected. These stressors, challenges, and transitions can become overwhelming. As your counselor, I will come alongside you to help you navigate these times. We will review how your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and values are connected and work on a plan to better your current situation. Main topics I work on with clients include Stress Management, Communication & Relationship Skills, Anxiety, Life Transitions, Chronic Illness & Cancer, and Compassion Fatigue & Burnout.

I know how difficult the search for a therapist can be. It feels like there's a lot riding on making the right choice, but there's so much uncertainty about what the right choice even entails. Of course you want a professional who seems qualified to address your specific areas of struggle, but it seems to me that the most healing aspect of therapy is the experience of feeling comfortable enough to be radically open with a therapist who you perceive to be compassionate, nonjudgmental, and real. Try to find someone you feel you can click with on an authentic human level; otherwise, it's likely to feel transactional and limiting.

I believe we heal by accepting ourselves, transforming our challenges, and taking action - not through endless analysis of the darkness. I help clients reclaim a free and joyful life with presence and passion. Being present for the full range of emotions can be a gift and a valuable guide in setting boundaries, building self-esteem and self-worth, and recovering from codependency, trauma, and anxiety. I help clients connect to their feelings in a supportive, collaborative environment. With genuine understanding and self-compassion, healing can be invigorating instead of terrifying.

My ideal client has come to embrace the nascient awareness that something is amiss, a subtle shift in consciousness beckoning change. They are driven by curiosity and a desire for change. They've become aware old ways no longer serve and only bring discontent. Ideally they are looking for (craving) insight, clarity, purpose and resilience. The ultimate aim: crafting a balanced life, fortified by resilience, and liberated from inner turmoil and unnecessary defenses. This journey ideally leaves them empowered, deeply satisfied, and armed with the capacity for humor and playfulness.

Please note I am doing telehealth only at this time. Hi. I'm Tori. As a counselor, my goal is to help you make sense of your thoughts and feelings, feel less alone, and create the changes you want in yourself. I‘ll work with you in a compassionate, collaborative way to overcome the roadblocks that you struggle with even if they seem overwhelming. I specialize in working with clients dealing with anxiety, trauma (especially sexual abuse/assault and relationship violence), PTSD, and gender identity. I am LGBTQ affirming. I work from a social justice and feminist framework. I am a CCTP Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.

Hi! My name is Michelle Stromme. I specialize in working with out-of-control sexual behavior (sex addiction), low libido, & couples. Are the intimacy and spark not as good as they used to be? Are you feeling alone, unfulfilled sexually? Does sex hurt? Do you feel that you must lie to your partner(s) about your fantasies or desires? You are not alone, and you are not broken. The human body and soul need connection, compassion, and pleasure. I am committed to helping you get or regain that as an individual and with your partner(s). I enjoy working with people from all walks of life. No topic is off-limits in my therapy sessions.

I am a believer that we do not always get to choose our experiences. Many of them are neither asked for nor deserved, and we get no choice but to deal with the fallout. All of us are simply doing the best we can with what we have, and I want to make that easier for you. My specialty is treating PTSD, I have a very wide range of experience working with individuals who have been incarcerated, victims of abuse, first responders, veterans, and others. I have experience treating other issues as well including depression, anxiety, grief, and other problematic disorders.

Are you wondering if now is the right time to get back into therapy? Or maybe try it for the first time? Everyone needs support at some point in their life. I'm so excited to be able to offer that support to you, when you need it. I have experience working with eating disorders, addiction, mood disorders and trauma and am open to working with adults, adolescents, couples, and families. I believe therapeutic work needs to be collaborative to be successful. My philosophy is to support the individuals and families I work with in reaching the goals they set for themselves through treatment plans we create together.
