Margaret J. Ash
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
With a spirit of compassion and nonjudgement, I help people move beyond the issues that limit their joy in life through a unique blend of psychotherapy and meditation. I love helping people find clarity about the thoughts and emotions they are carrying so they can feel empowered to choose greater freedom and expansion. Many people who are exploring mindfulness practices feel unsettled by the emotions and thoughts that pull them out of presence. As a psychotherapist who understands emotional life both from insights garnered through Eastern and Western wisdom, I assist my clients to move towards greater awareness and self acceptance.

Counselor, LMSW

Anxiety, depression, parenting, college and work life balance are a few of many things that we are faced with each day, in addition to people asking us to perform despite being weighed down by those challenges. Who we are and who we want to be may not always align with who we are expected to be. Through our work together, we will explore boundaries, educational tools, and coping skills to rise to resilience and show up each day as our best self despite life’s hardships. Awareness is the foundation for change, and we will work together to enhance our personal awareness to build a more functional and peace filled existence.

Sprigs Counseling Collaborative
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC
Verified
Talking to a perfect stranger about personal things doesn't exactly make a person feel warm and fuzzy. Realistically though, life is just hard! Sometimes we just need to share our thoughts with someone who can be trusted not to judge how life's toughest blows may have affected us. Sometimes we just need to be able to talk honestly about things we wouldn't share with just anyone. This doesn't make us broken, it makes us 'Human.'

Michelle Tullier
PhD, CCC, CPRW
I help young adults launch and young professionals re-launch. I uncomplicate issues of career choice and job/internship search for students, recent grads, and other Gen Zers and young Millennials. Some of my clients are outstanding students planning post-grad lives or have already set out on an impressive career path but want to make a change. Others have taken a more circuitous route due to past substance abuse and treatment. As the Psychology Today author of the column "Careers and Recovery," I strive to be a voice of hope, proven strategy, and compassion for those who might otherwise live up to to the label 'Failure to Launch.'

Dianna Briggs Morse
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
I work primarily with children, teens, and young adults experiencing stress and anxiety, executive functioning deficits, identity confusion, mood disorders, grief and loss, and life adjustment challenges (i.e. separation/divorce). By providing a safe, non-judgmental environment, clients can effectively express, explore, and process their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I believe every client is equipped with a unique set of strengths and skills that can help them overcome adversity. By helping clients rework negative perceptions of events in their lives or of themselves, clients can move to a more regulated state.

Life is short. If your life doesn't look the way you want, NOW is the time to change. For almost a decade, I have helped clients bring their lives into line with their goals. Being a therapist isn't just about giving a listening ear. It's knowing what to listen for and what to do with that information. It's understanding how the mind, body and soul work together and how we get stuck at certain points. Therapy is focusing that knowledge to create change. Change is a skill and therapy is the place you learn it.

No matter how hard we try in life, inevitably we come across unpredictable waters. Sometimes riding the waves of life can be delightful and sometimes it can be soul crushing. Thus, in my own life I seek to "embrace uncertainty and live joyfully through the process." I seek to empower my clients to become the best versions of themselves, especially during times of adversity. I work with clients to evaluate their life goals and to gain insight and clarity about factors that might that influence their success.

Stressed? Overwhelmed? Over it??? I get it...This is a very stressful time. A new normal has set in and this can leave us feeling out of control, anxious, unmotivated, down or worried. All of this uncertainty can be really tough to navigate. However, "different" does not have to mean misery and "uncertainty" does not have to mean despair. I am here for you...Together we can work on the way toward peace over panic and faith over fear.

What's your story? I'd love to hear it. Everything you have done in your life, every person you've met, every interaction you've had, every hurt, every hope, every heart you've encountered leads up to the summary of your personal story you know so well. Our stories are usually focused on pain, disappointment, and negative change. But our stories can be altered. I believe I can help you see the sparkling, secure storyline hiding beneath the painful one. Our imagination is another realm in which we look at our lives. I am currently offering virtual and walk & talk outdoor (in-person) sessions.

I honor that step by committing myself to meet you where you are, sit with you in whatever emotion arises, and offer you a safe and relaxed environment to discuss your concerns. As your therapist, I will work with you to collaboratively create a road map to greater health using our alliance and therapeutic tools along the way. We will work together to identify your goals, beliefs, and assets; process life stressors; and empower your life for greater wellness, however you define this.
