Dan Meier Counseling
Counselor, MA, LMHCA
Verified
Welcome! My name is Dan Meier and I am a relational, psychodynamic therapist. In practice, this means I work collaboratively with my clients and pay special attention to stories, embodied messages, and relational dynamics. I work this way because I believe harm and healing both take place within the context of relationship. Counseling offers the opportunity to explore our painful stories in the presence of an attuned, compassionate professional and rediscover our hope. Together, you and I will work toward meaningful change, greater self-
acceptance
, and deep healing.
Cory D. Secrist, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
I am a licensed clinical psychologist who works with adults and adolescents. I specialize in helping those with issues related to depression and other mood disorders, anxiety, and chronic pain. I support people struggling with relationship and communication difficulties, grief, pervasive worry, intrusive thoughts, and overwhelming feelings. I empower clients to gain the skills needed to reach their goals, understand and regulate their emotions, and improve mindfulness and
acceptance
through a nonjudgmental and collaborative approach. I also provide supportive and affirmative therapy to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender clients. I am available to assist transgender clients in attaining transitioning services.
Natalie Toida
Counselor, MA, LMHC
Verified
I am committed to practicing with compassion,
acceptance
and non-judgment and aim to help clients shift from going through life in a habitual way to living in a more intentional way.
Life often throws things at us that we have little control over: a pandemic, loss of a loved one, an abusive childhood, oppression, a disability, and the like. All of these can cause pain and hardship and left untended, can compound or prolong our suffering and even become debilitating. We can't avoid pain but luckily we come pre-equipped with the tools we need to live meaningfully in spite of the pain we experience so we can avoid unnecessary suffering. Therapy can help us reclaim those tools, navigate life's challenges, and manage our pain so we can be more free to focus on the things that bring us joy and contentment.
Anna M. Charbonneau
Psychologist, PhD

My specialty is health psychology using an
ACT
framework, working with people experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship problems and medical conditions including cancer and chronic pain.
In my practice I focus on teaching my clients ways build resilience to stress and get back a sense of stability and calm. If you value genuine emotional support, honest feedback, and new perspectives we might be a good match. I provide support for who have experience with expanded states of consciousness ( spontaneous awakenings, near death experiences, or therapeutic use of psilocybin, LSD). These experiences can provide tremendous opportunities for growth and healing, especially when guided with caring, competent support. My approach is kind, open-minded, grounded, and practical.
Sara Eagan
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
My approach is primarily rooted in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT),
Acceptance
and Commitment Therapy (
ACT
), Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP) and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR).
Feeling lost? Craving change? In the midst of a difficult transition? My practice is focused on helping you thrive as you navigate these challenges. Using a compassionate, evidence-based approach, I will help you make meaningful changes, and I consider it an honor to be a part of that journey. Other areas of specialty include working with generalized anxiety, panic attacks, health-anxiety, eco-anxiety (anxiety about climate change), health behavior change (weight loss, smoking cessation), relationship and occupational stress, and helping clients use psychological strategies to optimize occupational and/or athletic performance.

**NOTE: wait list available; telehealth only** Self-improvement. Relationship issues. Anxiety. Unhelpful thoughts or behaviors. These are some of the concerns that bring people, just like you, to my counseling practice. I value and work with the strengths, imperfections, gifts, genetics, history and humanity of each person or family, as these aspects inform and shape who we are. I support clients in identifying a values-based direction for positive change and explore both what motivates change and the barriers that are getting in the way. Together, we create a road map to a healthier life for you or your family.
Connor McCabe
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
My approach draws from a variety of behavioral treatments supported by science, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and
acceptance
and commitment therapy (
ACT
).
My goal for each of my clients is to help them build and sustain a life they want to live. This can seem like a daunting task, especially for the many of us who have struggled to make long-lasting changes in our mental health. As a clinical psychologist, I strive to help clients foster awareness of the underlying thoughts and behaviors that drive emotional suffering, and to help clients build a diverse repertoire of evidence-based skills for taking back control of these experiences.

I believe our early experiences and traumas show up in our current lives and can manifest themselves in a myriad of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Therefore, I view therapy as a guide moving us towards the necessary clarity needed to live more purposely, thoughtfully, and with greater self-awareness.

***ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS*** If you're on Psychology Today looking through therapist profiles, chances are you've already given a good bit of thought to the idea of starting therapy. Something in your life is off, keeping you from the peace and fulfillment we all look for. You've likely tried all of your own coping methods, talked with your support system, but it just hasn't been enough at this time in your life. I want to assure you there is no shame in seeking therapy--it is a sign of courage of strength. I am excited for your journey!
Megan Carboni
Counselor, MA, LMHC, MHP

Connection and support are important. I work with individual adults in the areas of anxiety, life transitions, and depression. Some areas of focus in my practice are parental and caregiver stress, aging, chronic medical conditions, and disabilities. I often work with people who have family members with severe mental illness. I can help you to identify your values, create measurable goals based on those values, and learn to live a life that is more meaningful to you. We did not create all of our problems, but we have to solve them anyway.

Chris Keller
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
Thank you for visiting my profile. I provide psychotherapy and assessment services to adults (individuals, couples, and groups) who are struggling to thrive. I help others increase insight into their struggles and make concrete changes toward experiencing a more fulfilling life. During difficult times it is common to struggle with daily functioning while also trying to heal broader psychological and emotional concerns (e.g., trauma, relational struggles, problematic behavior). Therefore, I often will establish short-term and long-term goals, collaboratively with you, so that counseling can be sustainable, supportive, and effective.
Amy M Plumb
Counselor, MA, LMHC, SUDP, MAC, CCTP
Verified
Talk therapy is great, but what many of the people I work with have missed in past therapy experiences is how to implement what they have learned about themselves into their real life. Self-regulation is key and after establishing a solid foundation using skills training for increasing distress tolerance and emotion regulation, I work with people to get at the root of the problems they are experiencing by using EMDR therapy and other interventions that address the core stuff, which is often the stuff that has kept us stuck in patterns that hurt. From there, we can work on improving your relationships and personal development.

MA
Hello! Through Sapphire Empowerment’s private sessions and classes, I offer healing and mindset training to help people clear blocks to optimal health, happiness and success. The processes are based on an accurate premise of our powerful ability to transform our lives and uplift others as we learn. With my support, you’ll move quickly towards your goals with a lighter mental and emotional load. Most of us did not learn these processes – in fact we were socialized to replace our wise inner voice with external approval. Not to worry re-connecting is a simple process.

Steve Hammil Counseling
Counselor, MA, LMHC
Verified
I am particularly interested in working with people struggling with the on going effects of adverse childhood experiences like abuse, neglect and loss; especially those of early childhood. Often people suffering from the painful effects of traumatic experiences have never really felt whole, known peace or felt truly acceptable. Much too often they blame themselves. Bouts of depression and anxiety are all too frequent. In therapy you undo the underlying causes of fear, shame and grief that drive depression, anxiety and dissociation. You learn to live a life that is meaningful, present focused and free from the shadows of the past.
Michael Lombard
Marriage & Family Therapist, MS, LMFT

Life can be stressful with the world constantly telling you how you "should dress", what types of friends you "should have", or what you "should be doing with your life." It can also be lonely and difficult to develop an identity with all of that worry going on. I provide a safe environment where we explore and confront the "shoulds" in your day to day so that you can have the life you want to live.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a type of psychotherapy that helps you accept the difficulties that come with life. ACT is a form of mindfulness based therapy, theorizing that greater well-being can be attained by overcoming negative thoughts and feelings. Essentially, ACT looks at your character traits and behaviors to assist you in reducing avoidant coping styles. ACT also addresses your commitment to making changes, and what to do about it when you can't stick to your goals.
