Beverly Buchanan
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, LADC
Verified
Beverly works with all types of mental health concerns and has a special interest in working with adults on the autism spectrum and their families; first responders and military/veterans;
transgender
individuals and couples, and individuals and families currently experiencing or recovering from substance use problems.
Throughout life we have experiences and we create meaning about those experiences. These narratives that we create interact with and influence our thoughts, feelings, and interactions with others. Sometimes, our narratives can create interpersonal problems or hold us back in living our day-to-day lives. Beverly works to increase one's self awareness to support them in seeing existing patterns and to help one separate themselves from the problem to discover workable solutions and find hope.

Meet Claudia, a sassy boss babe who survives off of memes, froyo, and swimming. She will be straight up with you (no bullshit), but will be gentle about it. She likes using CBT because there is no judgement (thoughts are not good or bad; they are just thoughts). She grew up in the church and has a passion for helping people resolve religious trauma, process purity culture issues, and find their sexual identity. It absolutely makes her day when she gets to help an
LGBTQ
client find peace and live their truth. She also likes working with new parents who have had traumatic births or postpartum anxiety/OCD.

Raishma (Ray) Majeed
Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, MS, LPCC
Verified
I work with adult survivors of childhood trauma who are noticing or are curious to explore the ways in which their trauma are impacting their experiences in the present day. I find that many of the things we struggle with can be related to traumas, difficulties, or other experiences in childhood that were less than ideal. I help my clients recognize the ways in which they are feeling "stuck" or are unhappy with how their life circumstances are. From there, I help my clients determine how they want to live their life and we collaboratively figure out what it takes to get there.
Emily Hahn-Carlson
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA

People all have their own reasons for starting therapy. Some come with a specific issue they want to address, others come with only a vague sense that part of their life is in a slump. In either case, therapy can help them find their path forward whether through transformative changes or small adjustments.

Dr. Xan Banker
Psychologist, PsyD

I teach practical and research based tools that help manage anxiety and depression. Therapy helps manage current levels of distress as well as underlying unresolved pain from the past. I encourage the process of developing an authentic and integrated relationship to one's self and others. At the same time, I often give direct advice. I have provided psychotherapy for over 23-years and believe it works! I am aware that most people seek therapy after having had many attempts to address their symptoms alone and remained confused. I want to join you in the journey of healing and growth.

Julie Morin

I work primarily with adolescent and adult clients that have experienced various traumatic events in their lives. Often times individuals are unaware of the impact that these events have had and continue to have on their day to day lives. I work with individuals to help them learn more about what events are traumatic to them and increase their awareness of how those events continue to impact relationships, work performance, school performance, etc. I am dedicated to helping my clients identify their goals and teach them skills to reach these goals while learning how to navigate and manage life circumstances.
