No matter who and where we are in our lives, it seems we all "have our stuff." And that's exactly what has drawn me to my life work. To sit with a couple, an individual experiencing grief/loss, or even a group (life and/or work-related) and to offer the simple grace and permission to be human. Clients, colleagues, and friends have often expressed that my calming and authentic yet professional communication style naturally provides the necessary tools to build trusting and work-ready relationships. I hold a great deal of respect for my clients and am honored to be a catalyst in promoting their growth and self-empowerment.

Clare Mundell
Psychologist, PhD

Verified
I am a clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. My primary orientation is psychodynamic, which means that I work with clients to look at current symptoms and relationship problems as manifestations of patterns - often outside of our awareness - that we learn in childhood. Often this learning leads us to suppress important parts of ourselves and our experiences, which in turn leads to suffering. I believe that exploring these patterns and slowly acquainting ourselves with disowned feelings and conflicts is critical for lasting symptom change.

My focus is on people who have been affected by someone's substance use disorder. Addiction is a family disease. You didn't cause the substance use, you can't control it and you can't cure it. You can learn to find your empowerment by defining your personal boundaries and your personal power. You can learn how to use self care in a crisis and how to cope with your loved one without losing yourself. Self care is essential for your well being. I have worked in the field of Substance Use Disorder for 12 years in many capacities. Please feel free to call and see if I can help you.

*Please email for availability, as I am unable to return all phone calls due to call volume* I work with adults and adolescents who are looking to better manage their emotions, behaviors, and relationships. Many of my clients have experienced trauma that has impacted their ability to accept themselves and others and to see "gray areas" in life. They want to make things better for themselves or their families but may not know where to start. You may have a successful career but struggle in personal relationships, or you may struggle in multiple areas of your life; either way, I can help you find the stability you are looking for.

Looks like you are therapist shopping, which is a big step. Chances are, this means the support systems you have and the ways of coping that you normally use are not enough right now. Perhaps you have noticed changes in how you sleep, your appetite, mood, and how you engage with your world. A variety of paths lead people to struggle and we all have times in our lives when we need a little more or a little different support. Finding a therapist who is a good fit for you can be a helpful piece in receiving that support. Root & Rise has 2 therapists on staff, Dr. Butler Hepler and Reva Kominsky, MSW.

I provide high-fidelity cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to adolescents and adults seeking treatment for mood, anxiety, and addiction to name a few. CBT is a structured psychological therapy that views problems as arising from interactions between cognitions, emotions, behaviors and physiological processes. As a therapeutic approach, CBT is brief, here-and-now focused, and measurable in terms of one's response to treatment. I employ a range of client outcome instruments in my practice, which allow for precise decision-making about how to modify treatment to meet the needs of each individual.

Dr. Hale focuses on marital therapy with a special interest in fostering couple intimacy as well as addressing potential problems with communication, attachment, and sexuality. A major treatment goal is to offer new strategies in resolving persistent relationship problems and conflicts. Treatment tends to be brief, highly focused, and direct. It requires clients to be open to new perceptions of their behaviors as well as new perceptions of the problem. This is treatment directed to couples committed to their relationship, who recognize each contribute 50% to the problem, and who will focus on changing their own behavior.
