Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, LPC

There are times when we know that we need to make a change in our life. You might be noticing a quiet unrest, a consistent dissatisfaction, or the call to change may come through a life transition---a death, a loss, job or relationship stress, illness suddenly needing to care for elders or children moving home. The circumstances can vary, but the knowledge that change is needed is clear. My goal is to help you discover your true potential while we sort out what needs to be different, and lead you into a life that is worth celebrating.

Rosalie W Hyde
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, S
Verified
In this time of crisis and fear that the whole world is experiencing, I think that I must first address how any person who comes to me is coping, how she/he is managing safety and fears for her/himself and his/her family. We cannot dissociate what is happening to all of us now because that replicates what may have happened to many of us in some distant past traumatic experience: Not to talk about what happened. My clients often have struggled with similar problems for years, often working hard in therapy, but not fully understanding the link between their struggles and their experiences in the past.

I partner with many young adults as they navigate high academic or career pressure, dating (especially online,) life transitions, career changes, sexuality and gender exploration, anxiety, depression, "perfectionism" and "people-pleasing." I especially have a heart for and interest in working with intellectually and/or artistically gifted folks.

It’s not going to be this way forever. You’ve been stumbling along trying to find your way out of the pit of negative thoughts. You’ve landed here because you believe that things can be different, you know you have it in you to reduce the thoughts from running rampant in your head. But something just keeps getting in your way, you keep running into a brick wall and can’t navigate your way around it. You’re not ready to give up yet, but you’re getting close. You want your life back, you want to find that person that you used to be, the person that was full of life, fun, really living and not just existing.

Steve Hartman
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Verified
I consider it a great privilege to help adults overcome the trauma of childhood abuse. Whether it be physical, sexual, and/or emotional in nature, the journey is difficult. I believe it is important to change fearful beliefs that others are to be mistrusted and that happiness is unattainable. Safe places are hard to find. I am diligent in creating a safe place in which a trauma survivor can heal. Sometimes the healing journey is long and painful. I am committed to "walk along beside" for as long as is needed.

Life can be very unkind at times. You may feel stuck or isolated right now and think that no one appreciates you. I would be happy to listen to your stories. Sometimes, all you need is someone who can listen to you with authenticity and non-judgmental attitude, which I can guarantee you to provide. By opening up to release your bubbled-up emotions, you may start to notice new you, which is the beginning of your enlightening journey. When was the last time you actually tuned into your own feelings and emotions?

Choosing a therapist can be challenging in a lot of ways. For starters, you're probably looking for a therapist because things are a bit tricky right now. You might be feeling anxious already and it can take time to find someone you can talk to. Then, when you finally do meet with someone, it can be hard to trust the therapist in the very first session. On top of that, when you finally DO find the person you're comfortable talking to, your insurance might not cover your sessions, or maybe you don't have insurance at all.

Psychologist, PhD, PMH-C

You're a high-achieving professional or mom who's getting bogged down by your tendency to over-think things. You realize your thoughts are irrational, but can’t get them out of your head. Maybe you’re really hard on yourself and nothing is ever good enough. I help moms who are overwhelmed, numb, disconnected, struggling to juggle everything (aka supermom syndrome), or more irritable with others. You feel afraid, guilty, alone, and no longer recognize yourself. You may be having scary thoughts about your baby and are afraid to tell anyone. Others have no clue you're struggling in this way and you're just trying to keep it together.
Dr. Matt Brown
Marriage & Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT

Are you struggling with your relationship? Do you feel stuck in the same cycle? Maybe trust has been broken and you can't seem to get past it, or you're dealing with stress and challenges that you don't feel equipped to handle. You might feel like this has been a long time coming, and things have come to a head. You've probably tried everything and nothing seems to work. If you are feeling hopeless, I can honestly tell you that things can get better. I can help you find hope and move forward.

Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, LPC-A

The world we live in can sometimes be rather chaotic. Unforeseen events, life stressors, and traumatic events can make it fairly easy to feel alone and very difficult to cope. I believe it is important to have a therapist who you can connect with, feel understood and empowered by. My ability to listen without judgment, show compassion, be empathetic and provide evidence based practices are essential in helping you find solutions from within. I believe in being a key partner in your life and walk with you through the difficulties you are faced with, no matter how long it takes.

Each of my clients is going through a transition period in their life. I work people who live with chronic illness, who self-harm, who struggle with anxiety, have depression, hate their self-image, battle with addiction, or are adjusting to life's challenges like the pandemic. I help families navigate loss and change. We each have obstacles thrown our way in life. Maybe yours or your child’s isn’t listed above. That’s okay! Your experience is uniquely yours. I’m here to offer support and skills to help get you through the roughest times and get you back to living!
