Harry Remer
Counselor, MA, LMHC
Verified
"Compassionate and down-to-earth" sums up my style. We'll start by getting a handle on your confusing feelings, thoughts, and behaviors; this usually helps people feel a little better fairly soon. Beyond that, you'll discover the story you unconsciously believe about who you are and what you're worth, and find out how it steers your life. Then, we build up the story--and life--you prefer, which is waiting inside you.

Marriage & Family Therapist, LMHC, LMFT

Psychotherapy is a doorway into new insights & perspectives that can be life changing. We learn how to get beyond our reactions, often shaped by our painful life experiences & create new ways of being in our lives. Therapy can help us see more possibilities & break free from the stuck & painful dilemmas that weigh us down. My practice is informed by spiritual and clinical perspectives. We all want to feel more love, more belonging & more wholeness. We do that by using what comes our way to grow wiser & experience more peace & balance. I work to help people release fear while developing more trust in their own unshakable center.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LICSW, MBA

In life we all need hope, validation, just to know that today, "this too shall pass." I strive to connect with individuals with honesty, warmth, and empathy. When one makes that decision to seek emotional guidance, I understand the vulnerability and the bravery of that moment. While allowing one to take the time they need to reach their desires of the heart and/or identify what one desires through a space of compassion and mindfulness.

motivation, self acceptance, and creativity. I practice a body-based therapy called Somatic Experiencing that is a gentle approach to healing PTSD and symptoms of trauma. These include anxiety, depression, physical symptoms, and difficulty staying grounded in the present. We may use methods informed by my experience and training in contemplative practices and expressive therapies along with psychodynamic and cognitive therapies.
Kristy Mamchur
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
My hope for my clients is that they will find a therapeutic space, which facilitates increased emotional self-knowledge and an understanding of and relief from emotional and behavioral struggles. Psychotherapy is the process of understanding oneself in the context of everyday life, with a primary focus on social and intimate relationships and on professional/personal identity. The social world is full of external stimulation, and psychotherapy is a place for quiet reflection on personal needs, desires, patterns, values and states of mind. Ordinary education, even the finest education, does not prepare people for these intimate aspects of life.

Marlene Meinelt
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LICSW, CST
Verified
The most common complaint from couples is poor or a lack of communication, leading to increased stress and conflict. My experience as a certified sex therapist has taught me when an individual or couple experiences increased tension and conflict; there is a corresponding decrease in sexual intimacy. Over time, a lack of sexual intimacy and pleasure can result in conflict in other areas of the relationship. I can help you find common ground for open communication, help resolve performance anxiety and reduce conflict, and experience happiness and pleasure with your sex life
