Geeks, by traditional definition, are passionate about anthologies and characters from a variety of fictional, fantasy, and virtual formats that are sometimes niche or unpopular, creating feelings of relatedness towards avatar experiences in an often lonely life. . However, with the rise of popular media over the past several years, (e.g. Big Bang Theory, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Marvel’s Avengers, Anime, etc.) self-identification as a “geek” or “nerd” has become more mainstream. We practice this type of therapy and welcome you to come and grow through the practice of Geek Therapy

I really love to work with people who find themselves at a place where something has to give....where staying the same is no longer an attractive option. It may feel like your relationship is stuck in a bad place, or that your family is spun out of control, or that you simply are not the best version of yourself. I work best with those who are ready to take a long honest look at the things that are hard to see..... those who are willing to be brave and learn how to create something different in their lives.

I work with clients experiencing a range of issues including interpersonal problems, sexuality conflict, stress, social anxiety, gender dysphoria, infidelity, divorce/breakups, transitional life events and women’s empowerment.

Whether you are navigating major life shifts, trying to honor your roots while setting healthy boundaries without guilt, or simply trying to feel like yourself again, you don't have to figure it out alone. Here, you have space to pause, process, and find your footing.

I work with individuals who find themselves stuck in a pattern of destructive and repetitive behaviors which they cannot seem to stop. Perhaps you've experienced acute or prolonged trauma, such as domestic or sexual violence, and you've learned to cope with alcohol, substances, or harmful behavior. You need someone who will listen and help you navigate through life transitions, relationship issues, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, self-harm, and suicidal ideation which seem to be all connected to feeling trapped and lost, alone and scared and you just need someone to sit with you and help you heal from the deep pain enveloping you.

I integrate EMDR, Schema Therapy, Coherence Therapy, and Rapid Resolution Therapy to support deeper, lasting change.
Hi, I’m Guy. I’m an LPC-S, LCDC, and trauma therapist with more than 15 years of experience in counseling, clinical supervision, and leadership. Much of my work has been shaped by one question: "Why can we know something needs to change and still feel unable to change it?" You may recognize the fear, relationship pattern, or way of coping that keeps repeating, yet understanding it has not been enough to change it. I work with adults and couples to uncover what is driving those patterns, particularly when trauma, anxiety, fear, relationship conflict, or addiction are part of the story

Many of the people I work with feel emotionally exhausted from constantly surviving. They may struggle with anxiety, panic, overthinking, shame, people-pleasing, emotional numbness, addiction behaviors, intrusive thoughts, relationship difficulties, or feeling disconnected from themselves and others. Often, these patterns are rooted in unresolved trauma, attachment wounds, abusive relationships, or painful childhood experiences. I help clients understand the deeper “why” beneath their struggles so healing feels meaningful, lasting, and connected to their real life experiences.

The ideal client has had enough of trying to solve “life on life's terms” with the same reactions and patterns that have proven inefficient, and possibly disastrous in the past. I was trained in Solution Focused Brief Therapy. This translates into goal-oriented therapy sessions in as few sessions as necessary to accomplish identified goals. I believe that clients seek mental health therapy to improve their daily living and it is my job to provide a safe space along with relevant psychotherapeutic interventions that enlighten a path to better living.

How does schema therapy work?
Schema therapy is based on the idea that maladaptive thought patterns formed in childhood—that other people can never be relied on, for example—can interfere with healthy functioning in adulthood. Accordingly, schema therapy works by directly targeting such unhealthy schemas, identifying their consequences, and replacing them with more adaptive ways of thinking. To this end, schema therapists aim to “reparent” the client by offering what they didn’t get in childhood—validation, for instance, or compassion—to reorient their worldview.
Is schema therapy evidence-based?
Schema therapy is still considered relatively new, and research on its efficacy is still in progress. However, some studies have concluded that it can be effective at treating certain mental health conditions, most notably personality disorders such as borderline personality disorder. Evidence for its efficacy in treating conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD is promising but less conclusive, and experts warn that much of the existing research is of low quality.
Is schema therapy a type of CBT?
Schema therapy is based on many principles of CBT, most notably the process of recognizing and challenging maladaptive thought patterns. But because schema therapy also draws from other approaches,including psychoanalysis and Gestalt therapy, it is not considered a form of CBT. It also typically delves deeper into the client’s childhood than does CBT.
How does schema therapy work?
Schema therapy does not call for a set number of sessions and is instead open-ended, with the treatment timeline depending on the client’s primary concern(s), progress, and preferences. Treatment that lasts between six months and two years is common, though many clients will start to see progress much earlier than that.
