Ronay Pagan
Counselor, LMHCA

I believe that therapy is a collaborative process and that the client steers the direction. Internal motivation and a willingness to ask yourself the difficult questions are essential to success.

I have training in cognitive behavioral therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (both the original and radically open subsets), holistic health, humanistic approaches, and existential approaches.
Rachel Baska
Marriage & Family Therapist, MS, MedFT, LMFT
Verified
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has a heart for empowering women to live joyfully inside their bodies through liberation-work and self-compassion. I approach therapy from a systemic, person-centered, feminist, sex-positive, and HAES lens that's rooted in social justice. I understand the ways that oppression and trauma influence how we connect with our bodies and I view coping mechanisms as survival strategies that develop in response to our experiences. I believe there is wisdom in our coping and I enjoy helping clients compassionately attune to their body’s needs and connect to their intuition.

Dr. Arie Todd Greenleaf
Counselor, PhD, LMHCA, CHT
Verified
My ideal client is someone who wants to better understand their own mind and how they can learn to experience internal peace and self-love regardless of what’s going on around them. Our minds do not come with an owner’s manual. We have to learn the skills and knowledge necessary to first live healthily with ourselves before we can live well with others. Through the process of individuation, past experiences and repressed aspects of the self are integrated into consciousness and the ego. The result is a person with greater depth, perspective, and patience with themselves and others. Life can then be experienced more fully.

I am here to be your guide so you can embody a greater sense of connection, confidence, and ease within yourself and your relationships. I help those struggling to navigate life transitions, relationships and codependency issues, challenged by anxiety, processing grief/loss, and dealing with the impacts of trauma. We are all trying to find solutions to our problems, however sometimes those solutions have just created more problems. Therapy is great tool to help us understand those patterns, try a different approach, and rewire ourselves for sustained growth and change.
Maggie Goss

I love working with adults and older adults. I often work with people on anxiety, depression, trauma, and difficulty with life transitions. My approach is supportive, warm, and nonjudgmental. My theoretical orientation is eclectic, drawing on humanistic, existential, and narrative approaches as well as skills-based frameworks such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical-behavior behavior therapy (DBT). I work with a feminist, social-justice focused, and antiracist lens to appreciate the ways in which people and their wellbeing are affected by systems of oppression and how this may challenge or connect us in therapy.
Sarah Matthews
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LICSW

I believe therapy can hold the key to processing the suffering that life brings. Often when there is trauma, change or transitions in life it can cause feelings of helplessness, confusion and despair. I believe processing these events and how they are connected to your thoughts, feelings and actions can bring about self-insight and healing. My approach is client centered and strength based utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy and cognitive processing therapy. My goal is to walk alongside you and facilitate a safe place for you to engage with the work of untethering yourself to the things that no longer serve you.

Wanting to be loved and accepted doesn’t make you needy, or extra, or selfish, or weak. It makes you human.
