Are you feeling overwhelmed and anxious? At times life can deal us a difficult hand, and these events can change the way we see ourselves and the world. We can be left feeling lost and angry, and we might struggle with depression and anxiety that feels completely out of control. These events can cause us to feel isolated and alone, and it can be difficult to ask for help. The process of therapy can create a safe space for you to reconnect and heal. Together we can create your path toward healing and empowerment. As a licensed therapist, I have experience with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction.

I can offer advice on coping strategies, mindfulness, and guide you through cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques. No matter what you have experienced, survived, or done, you are worthy & valuable.

Counselor, LMHC

Sometimes simply living life can leave you feeling overwhelmed, and constantly asking "why". Effective counseling offers you the opportunity to confront those insecurities and negotiate that maze of "why" emerging to feel empowered and secure. Are you experiencing depression, anxiety, issues at school or work, grief or trauma, perhaps substances are ruining your world or you need a Impaired Driving Assessment on which your independence and freedom can rely. I can help you and you can take back what uncertainty and fear have claimed. I have over 20 years of mental health and addictions experience in both inpatient and outpatient environments.
Emily Ets-Hokin
Psychologist, PhD, ABPP
Verified
I am a licensed clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst with over 30 years of experience in solo private practice, teaching and service in the community. Having a relationship with my patients and taking care of them are central in my work. Perhaps because of my background in the arts (dance), I also deeply value the creative yet disciplined use of self and an active authentic engagement in the therapeutic process.
I specialize in the treatment of adolescents and young adults (18-25). I also treat individuals, couples, and families who struggle with transitional issues throughout the life cycle.

Licensed Psychoanalyst, PhD, LP

Choosing the right therapist is critical to the success of your treatment, but it can be a daunting task. I understand and welcome you to call for a consultation before making a decision. Good treatment depends on a strong relationship founded on trust and respect and it is important that you feel at ease with whomever you work. I encourage an open and friendly rapport in the therapeutic relationship, appreciate its potential to alleviate stress, self-doubt, and anxiety, and hope to share with you its capacity to effect change both within yourself and in your relationships with others.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

**Please note: I am now working exclusively remotely.* I have been a therapist for 32 years and bring a breadth of experience to the treatment process. Therapy is an exciting, albeit challenging opportunity. It provides a springboard into a positive and meaningful future. In a warm, comfortable environment, we team together to solve current and/or long standing challenges. Having overcome an eating disorder 30 years ago, they are a specialty - though only a fraction of my practice. Without question, we all have the capacity to change our lives!! The secret: just never give up! :)

I work a lot like a physical trainer but for mental health. People may want to be more flexible, work past an injury, or realize a stronger version of themselves. Just like with our bodies, there are exercises and processes we can use to actualize the mind and our spirit. I've got a consistent evidence-based approach that does just that. Though the exercises are similar for everyone, we tailor them for your individual experience and the goals you want to achieve. We get stronger at anything we practice. If you choose to practice with me, we'll build your strength from the inside!
Sarah C.l. Boone
Counselor, LMHC

It can be difficult to find the time and space for self-reflection and self-healing in this fast-paced world that demands so much of us. Maybe you're feeling stuck in circumstances, relationships, and/or a lifestyle that doesn't fulfill you. Maybe you're attracted to the idea of forming healthier habits but struggle to put those ideas into action. Maybe life has handed you losses or transitions that are making stress or grief hard to manage on your own. All of those feelings are hallmarks of the experience of being human from time to time. Fortunately, you don't have to deal with any of it alone.

Everyone has life challenges. When you feel overwhelmed or in need of assistance and education in dealing with those challenges, counseling can be the difference between remaining stuck in old patterns that cause pain and are no longer useful, and successfully working through the challenges. This includes healing old wounds and developing new ways to manage those challenges, ways that will bring more peace and joy into your life.

Counselor, LMHC

You've caught a glimpse of yourself unfolding the fullness of your capacities back into the universe. Sometimes you dare to believe this person could really be you. But how exactly are you moving forward into such a reality? Your attempts thus far have met with resistance, uncertainty, and excruciating pain. Some days, the very reasons to keep going seem to evaporate.

Life is hard sometimes! Whether you're struggling with anxiety, a traumatic experience or a family relationship, counseling is a good place to start addressing those difficulties so you can live a more fulfilling life. I integrate the principles of the Christian faith in my counseling for those who seek that but I'm also happy to engage those from all walks of faith and spiritual beliefs. I enjoy engaging children and their families to help promote happy, healthy family systems and relationships.

I help Women who are struggling with Anxiety and Maternal Mental Health issues overcome these obstacles. Anxiety, anger, unexpected fertility issues, pregnancy complications and post partum struggles make the journey of Motherhood even more difficult. Stressful days and sleepless nights give way to feelings of Depression, Anxiety and frustration. For many women, this is the unwanted reality they are faced with.

**Current Waitlist** These are unprecedented times, full of stress, anxiety, and uncertainty. A creative, developmentally-informed approach is essential to effectively engage children and teens, as well as adults, in this important work. I believe in customizing treatment to each unique individual, to bring about the shared discovery of methods that will best meet their needs and support achieving overall goals. Within a therapeutic partnership, my clients build strength and skills for identifying, tolerating, expressing, and addressing what words alone often fail to, so they can better manage through all of life's challenges.

We're all doing the best we can with what we have to work with. However, life is always changing, and the tools we were given in the past, may not be working for us in the present. Counseling can act as a software update for your mind, clearing out old ideas, unprocessed emotion, and beliefs, that are holding you back from reaching your goals. I use EMDR therapy and other evidence-based modalities in my work. If you want to live your life more than think about it, and if you want your past to stop showing up uninvited in the present; then you may benefit from this unique, innovative, and holistic form of therapy.
