Ginna Clark
Counselor, PsyD, LPCC, ATR-BC
Verified
I have advanced training in working with relationship conflicts and sexual issues (porn use, sexual compulsivity, low desire,
sexual abuse
, and LGBT issues).
I work with adults, couples, families, and teens to untangle their problems, cope with emotional pain, and live more authentically. I believe that understanding a person's relationships with others, both historically and currently, is central to the process of change. This means that we'll spend time together talking about current, everyday stressors and dilemmas but we'll also look to identify patterns and dynamics that seem to have an ongoing influence in your life.
Jacob Gotwals
Counselor, LPC, LPCC
Verified
Have you been through distressing life experiences (like abuse, neglect, or
assault
)? You may have upsetting memories and feel agitated, irritable, or wary; these trauma symptoms can interfere with relationships.
I help individuals find and create great relationships. I only work with people one-on-one because I’m dedicated to giving you personal, in-depth support throughout your relationship journey. That could include deciding whether to stay in a challenging relationship, navigating infidelity, recovering from heartbreak after a relationship ends, learning to enjoy being single, and/or navigating dating, commitment, and the evolution of new relationships. I can provide insight into current relationship challenges and help you develop stronger skills through training in self-awareness, empathy, communication, collaboration, and boundaries.
Carrie Tansey Ishee
Counselor, MA, LPAT, LPCC, ATR-BC, PCC
Verified
I have extensive experience in working with substance abuse, sex addictions, mood disorders, anxiety, depression, relationship issues,
sexual abuse
, trauma, and adjustment issues.
My therapy and coaching work is based on a belief that we all long to experience love, connection, purpose, and peace in our lives. Symptoms that arise such as anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and physical illnesses signal a call to resolve and clear what is in the way of a happier life. My work embraces a holistic paradigm recognizing body, mind, and spirit, and focuses on helping clients learn to love and care for themselves as special and unique beings. Clearing out negative beliefs, healing emotional wounds, and eliminating toxic influences help clients live more authentic and empowered lives.

Do you sometimes wonder if past incidents like sexual
assault
/abuse, dysfunctional family, accident/illness or chronic stress are impacting your current life, emotions and relationships, even if you've already worked through the shock of it?

My focus is on releasing trauma, depression, anxiety and the emotional components of chronic conditions from the mind and body to facilitate healing using a holistic and integrative approach.

sexual abuse

Not currently accepting new clients. My style is warm and compassionate. I believe that people can only heal when they feel safe and supported, seen and heard.

I specialize in working with survivors of sexual trauma, family of origin conflicts, and relationship issues. Are you struggling to overcome the pain of childhood abuse? Did you feel alone and afraid as a child? Do you feel like your family did not understand you or support you? Do you struggle to be intimate with others and keep lasting relationships? Do you feel stuck in the past and want greater freedom in your life? My personal experiences combined with professional training have led me to help others heal their experiences of abuse and shame using a holistic trauma-informed approach.
Miranda Chicklis
Counselor, LPCC

I enjoy supporting adolescents, adults and couples with self-discovery, increasing self-worth and creating more fulfilling relationships. I approach the counseling process from a relational, attachment based model using an integrative approach. I will relate to you with empathy and compassion to create connection and a therapeutic relationship. Each session will be tailored to your needs, which may include processing suppressed emotions, insight into patterns, boundary setting skills, self-care practices, somatic techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy or dialectical behavior therapy.
Annette Gates
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LMSW, MEd, CSSE, CGC
Verified
Most of my clients are struggling with sexuality and intimacy issues within their relationship, whether they are with a partner or single. Often there are persistent patterns and traumatic past events that create less than ideal relationship dynamics. Sexual functioning concerns may also be present, leading to decreased capacity for emotional intimacy, freedom and joy in intimate relationships. I also work with many clients that have completed years of therapy, are therapists or helping professionals themselves, but still need a higher level of support in creating the sex and intimacy life they desire (their clients too).
Diana Zumas
Counselor, MA, LPC, LPCC
Verified
*I am not currently accepting new clients.* It takes courage to search for a new therapist. If you are looking through these profiles, there is a resilient, healthy part of you that's ready for change. You may be seeking relief, support, and healing for yourself or a loved one. Entering therapy is a profound act of self-love and self-respect. Times of crisis can be gateways beckoning you to a new path of growth, insight, meaning, and actualization. You don't have to walk on this path alone!

Nancy Estelle Perry
Psychologist, RN
Verified
Each client is unique with his or her own needs and goals. It is critical to understand what each client wants and why, before a therapeutic relationship can be established and therapy move forward. Initial sessions explore goals, time frames, and needs, as well as determine if the therapist and client are a good fit. Therapy may be short or long term.

My gift is to set the stage so you experience your deepest well being, free from all emotional upset. Since studying and practicing trauma resolution methods, and understanding the latest brain research, I have developed a unique psychotherapeutic modality,, The Connection Method™. It permanently resolves traumatic experiences and mood disorders. It is a system that goes beyond managing stress, depression, anxiety, impulsivity, psychosomatic illnesses etc. Instead, it transforms them at their core so you can live your full potential. I enjoy working with individuals of the most varied backgrounds, as I myself am from 4 countries.

Mushkan A. Defilippo
Counselor, MA, LMHC
Verified
Sometimes we find ourselves closed off, disconnected, in a state of hurt and protection,confused or being overly critical of ourselves. This can affect our lives in many ways; as lack of self-confidence, blame, isolation, unhealthy relationships, anger, resignation or addictions. I want to help you develop the tools and find your inner resources to have peace in your life and heal past hurt. Healing can happen when we find safety within ourselves and with another person. This is what counseling provides and what I offer you: a safe non judgmental space to be yourself freely.

**Please note that my caseload remains full as of April 2022, and I am unable to accept new clients at this time. ** A good therapist can help you to change. I work with a variety of clients--adult women and men, teens, gay and straight couples--to help people change what isn't working in their lives. And I try to do so with a large dose of humor and compassion. But I'm not the right therapist for everyone. Consider coming in for an initial session to see if we might work well together.
Diana Lightmoon
Counselor, LPCC, LMT
Verified
I am not taking on any new long-term clients, nor maintaining a waiting list. I am, however, taking short-term clients who would like to develop a daily meditation practice. We are living in a very unstable world right now and so feeling grounded and centered is especially challenging. Having a daily practice is essential to maintaining sanity when the world around you is changing at such a rapid rate as ours is. I teach an easy, open awareness practice that anybody can do.

Aaron D Schwartz
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MA, LCSW, CADC
Verified
These are unprecedented times that we are living in, and there continues to be so much of the unknown out there and we all need help from others, especially now. So many people have been in isolation, and I feel that connection is vital to healing. I believe the ideal healing environment is one where you feel safe, respected, supported and valued. I work very hard to create this kind of space, especially as we are first getting to know each other. We all need to be heard and feel like someone understands what we are going through. I strive to offer this kind of understanding.
Shakaya McFarland
Counselor, LMHC, MEd
Verified
Many times in our lives we are driven by the pain of past events which can sometimes lead us to feel and believe that we have lost our way. Yet, the truth is that we can live within a new paradigm! How are you showing up for yourself today? I have worked with youth and adults in a variety of capacities as well as prenatal and postnatal care. Much of my experience has been working alongside those who are faced with issues of anger, general and acute stress, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I have a deep understanding of the nuances of trauma and generational trauma & sociocultural contexts and constructs (racism, sexism, xenophobia).
