My specialties include grief and loss/life transitions, living with chronic illness, and skills including stress management. My areas of specialty often encompass issues related to anxiety, depression and diminished self-esteem. I work with individuals, couples, families - adults and teens. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, confidential and non-judgmental environment - to serve you with presence and respect. My belief is that each individual has the ability to find his/her own answers - my role is to help facilitate the process.

My therapeutic approach is tailored to adults who are currently experiencing depression, anxiety, emotion dysregulation, interpersonal deficits, and other issues regarding the self. I am a member of the LGBTQ community and work well with the individualistic and affirmative fashions in which human beings choose to self-identify. As a licensed clinical social worker, I believe that the individual is part of system: the micro (familial), the mezzo (immediate community), and the macro (the world at large). I look forward to speaking with you. *I provide individualized case management services - please reach out with inquires*
Therese Long
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT
Verified
I believe the way to success in therapy is to find a therapist that is a good fit for your needs. Therapy is a relationship. One that works best when open, honest, and collaborative. I am invested in the client as an individual but also as a part of a greater system. I work from a systemic lens and believe deeply that our interactions and habits are greatly influenced by those around us and our previous experiences. My work with clients is done with the consideration of one’s identity, family history culture, and the world around us.
Mike Chapman
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, CADCIII
Verified
I AM NOT PRESENTLY TAKING NEW CLIENTS. In therapy, I work to develop a relationship where you can both specifically explore the issues that have brought you to therapy- depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, lack of purpose, trauma, drug and alcohol issues-- and your life, in general. This atmosphere allows you to gain more self-knowledge and self-acceptance as well as to see fresh perspectives on your troubles and desires. You can then begin to find a way through some necessary changes. An important aspect of my therapy approach is encouraging clients to take steps to live life in more alignment with who they are.
Kathryn Ann Williams
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC, BC-TMH
Verified
I appreciate working with individuals and couples who identify as unconventional in some way, who are creative, introverted or highly sensitive, and want to be more assertive, confident and self-compassionate. I support LBGTQ-identified folks navigate issues of gender identity, sexual orientation, sexuality, relationships, trauma and oppression. As a holistically-oriented therapist with years of experience working within the naturopathic medical community, I also value helping individuals emotionally and mentally challenged by chronic or life-threatening illnesses.
Tracy Jendritza
Psychologist, PsyD, DBT-LBC
Verified
I firmly believe that growth has two paths. To truly flourish, one must balance a desire for change with a true willingness to accept oneselve for who you are. A treatment that embraces this idea is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and it's the core philosophy I use with my patients every day. In treatment, DBT concepts focus on changing things that are getting in the way of living the life you want, while accepting yourself unconditionally. The focus is to develop a life worth living. My program offers a full finality DBT which includes individual therapy, group skills training, and phone consultation.

It takes strength and courage to reach out for help. It is a privilege, as a licensed professional counselor, to provide a supportive, safe, and mutually respectful environment for you to explore problems that may arise during times of increased stress and life transitions. Whether you are struggling with feelings such as sadness, guilt, anger, disappointment, or inner-conflict, as your therapist, I will collaborate with you using an authentic, kind, and skilled approach.

Leah Haas
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
My approach to therapy is collaborative, creative, and compassionate. My goal is to create a safe and warm space so each client feels comfortable sharing what's on their mind and in their heart. This may include diving into trauma, grief, and other challenging life experiences that prevent a person from feeling at peace and operating at their highest potential. The philosophy that guides my work is that everyone has the inner wisdom needed to thrive. My role is to help clients access this inner wisdom so they can heal, grow and live the fulfilling life they are seeking.
Marley Small
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Verified
Life can be bumpy and overwhelming at times often resulting in layers of difficulties adjusting, anxiety, depression, trauma, relational struggles, and much more. An ideal client would be an individual who is ready to become unstuck and make impactful shifts in their life. Someone who is looking for support processing life stressors and is wanting to take steps toward their goals.
Beth Magee
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, CADC1
Verified
I am not able to accept new clients at this time. Are there times you feel lost with uncertainty, anxiety and a lack of confidence despite a deeper knowing of yourself? Is there something specific you are ready to look more closely at so you can grow and evolve? Are there issues from your past or current connections that hold you back? If these are things you struggle with therapy can be a safe and sacred place to be your real self without judgement. Having someone to talk to, someone who listens deeply can truly change the way you relate to yourself, others and life challenges.

There are many different ways to heal, just as there are many different ways to grieve and process emotions. I am a firm believer in the fact that one does not need to have something “wrong” with them in order to seek help.

Janz Consulting
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, CADC1
Verified
If you are reading this you have found the courage to consider trusting someone you have never met with your fears, frustrations and hopes. I honor this trust and the individual needs that each person brings to counseling. My practice is focused on assisting those who have met a challenge in life such as the loss of a loved one, chronic or acute illness, relationship conflict, job stress or traumatic events. Although these may be common experiences that many of us share they can also cause symptoms of depression, anxiety, anger or PTSD if lived in isolation.
