Anne Adams
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Verified
I understand that beginning therapy is not easy and takes many people out of their comfort zone. I believe in a warm and nurturing environment that allows clients to work at their own pace. Your journey is your own, and I offer a non-judgmental approach with each person I work with. I enjoy meeting with individuals, couples, and families. I have specialized training in Internal Family Systems (IFS). This model allows clients the opportunity to get to know each "part" of themselves and provides a way to regulate emotions and improve problem solving skills.

From a global pandemic to global warming to race relations, the past several years have been overwhelming for nearly all of us. Whether you're a parent struggling with the balance of it all, a healthcare worker who's overworked and burnt out, or a therapist who feels like they have nothing left to give, I'm here to hold space for you and help you find new ways of coping. My motto in therapy is often, "It's not about feeling better but getting better at feeling". Emotions do not disappear overnight but we can find so many strategies to cope with them to improve our day-to-day life.

My counseling practice centers around helping individuals and couples who have experienced sexual trauma in any of its various forms. Whether it be due to recent infidelity, a long history of sexual, physical and emotional betrayal, sexual identity confusion, or present day repercussions of childhood abuse and trauma, I consider it a privilege to walk with clients into the darkness of their stories. I enjoy coming alongside and advocating for those who are tired of just coping, dissatisfied with their quality of life, and desperate for deep change and healing.

I offer a compassionate space to share your concerns. I take time to deeply understand your experience and provide therapy based on personal needs. Through the therapy process, I help you to build self-awareness, transform negative patterns of thinking, establish healthy boundaries, improve quality of relationships, and to achieve overall wellness.

Therese J Booth
Psychologist, EdD
Verified
I often work with people to manage issues in their lives that have become difficult and distressing, such as separation/divorce, career/job changes, grief/loss, relocation, becoming a parent, and retirement. Some clients experience symptoms of anxiety or depression and we focus on realistic, practical strategies to reduce their intensity and impact. My approach involves closely assessing how these issues impact daily life, how relationships are affected, what support has or hasn't been available and then develop a plan for working toward changes and greater satisfaction in life.
Tina M Vora
MA, PLPC
Verified
Is something holding you back from truly living life and experiencing joy? Are obtrusive thoughts keeping you stuck and unable to live in the moment? Do you long for more fulfilling relationships with others? YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Having someone to connect with and share your story can be one of the best ways to start making the changes you want and deserve. As your therapist I will provide a judgement free space that is safe for you to drop the mask you have been wearing and share the inner thoughts that have been occupying your mind.
Annie Carrera
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, PLPC
Verified
Have you ever felt like you were carrying a heavy weight that others couldn't bear? Maybe it's the weight of shame, guilt, or anxiety. Perhaps it's depression, a "funk," or a "rut" you just can't seem to get out of. Have you ever felt like you were "too much" for other people, including friends and family, that you're afraid to share your "mess," your flaws, your insecurities, your hardships - your whole self because you may be rejected, ridiculed or further shamed? Maybe you have already had this painful experience. If so, I understand exactly what you're feeling. I want you to know that you're not alone and that there is hope.
Lynne Short
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, MEd
Verified
I believe that no matter what age you are, most emotional struggles stem from a feeling of disconnection - from yourself, your family and friends, or the world in general. You may feel as if you aren't yourself lately, or as if relationships have become difficult to navigate. Possibly you're having a hard time staying present and engaging in the world around you. If you are seeking therapy for your child or your teen, it may seem as if their behaviors or reactions don't match up to the situation they are in. It can be isolating to feel so out of sync. Therapy can help. We all have a need to feel seen, heard, and understood.
Anthony Ludwig
Licensed Professional Counselor, MSc, LPC, ABCST
Verified
I currently see both individuals and couples across a broad spectrum of issues: infidelity, intimacy barriers, pornography, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, communication challenges, , spiritual matters, etc. I find that many folks are seeking healthy ways to express themselves, forgive others, and find peace within. Talking with someone who is trained to help in these matters can provide a way forward to more fulfilling relationships and a more satisfying life.
Melody J McArthur

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adolescents, adults and couples. I approach psychotherapy as an opportunity to address unresolved issues and conflicts as they arise in life through the therapeutic relationship. I believe it is important to examine the various ways and places in one's life that symptoms present, and to work to understand the function and underlying meanings of the symptoms.

Savannah Fernandez
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
Pain is an inevitable part of being human. However, pain does not have to take over your life and cause you incessant suffering. Therapy is a place to learn how to relate differently to life's heartaches and how we may hold ourselves with compassion in the most difficult times. I strive to create a warm, collaborative, and authentic environment to help my clients explore challenges and create change towards a more fulfilled life.
Susan Toelle
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
When you seek therapy, it is usually because something doesn't feel right. The reasons for this are not always in your consciousness. The therapy process is a journey during which, through exploration, you can uncover issues that lie beneath the surface. You become a student of the self. I can guide you on this journey. By making connections between past and present and recognizing repeated patterns of behavior, you can begin to see the "big picture," and make decisions that can bring about the changes you hope to achieve.
Kim Warden
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, CCDP-D
Verified
A mainstay of my therapeutic philosophy is the importance of avoiding judgment, of ourselves and others. While this is not always easy, and it is very normal to feel embarrassed or potentially judged when you first begin working with a therapist; I encourage you to try to remember that judgment and self-judgment are actually a choice. Another fundamental part of my responsibility in this relationship is to be warmly accepting of you just as you are.
Linda Richardson
