Damon Dodge

I often see driven professionals in high-pressure environments. Many of my clients are men, trying therapy for the first time or continuing work they've already started. Clients generally come to see me to work through stress, anxiety (especially social anxiety), depression, life transitions and trauma. I'm also trained and passionate about working with the broader LGBTQ+ population.

Morgan Sheldon

I have particular passion for serving those with complex body relationships, who want to understand their ADHD or autism better, who crave support as they deconstruct their spiritual histories, who are frustrated by vague therapy answers, who fear they are "too much" or "too different". Overall, those who want to find the beauty in the darkness rather than denying the darkness, and who want to sit crooked and talk straight.

Sarah Farnsworth

I work psychoanalytically with patients who wish to more deeply explore and understand their internal world. Together we can create language for hidden, blocked, 'unthinkable' thoughts; name and reflect on unconscious conflicts; work through dreams; and build resilience.

Connor McClenahan

I see many people who are overwhelmed with their day-to-day life, and often because of this, their important relationships have begun to slip away from them. They long for close, grounded relationships that enable them to experience more of the best parts of life.

Sarah Segal

Have you noticed that it's in the places you are supposed to be most relaxed (meditation, vacation, weekends, sleep) that your mind feels louder than ever? It might feel like the idea of letting your thoughts go is meant for “normal” people and that does not include you. Maybe you stand guard to keep yourself from your worst case, as if your attention to your thoughts keeps you from descending into unimaginable fear. I can help you sift through the noise and regain your confidence in yourself.

Being alive in the 21st century is wild. Navigating a complex, relentlessly changing world and overlapping systems of oppression can be a confusing, isolating challenge. You know your struggles and deserve a safe place to explore them with authenticity, empathy, and validation. My warm, genuine, and collaborative approach provides a space to learn more about yourself, address your concerns, and develop self-compassionate coping skills in line with your values.

Shelly Crosby

You're exhausted, overwhelmed, and tired of feeling anxious and on edge all the time. You've thought about calling a therapist, but you're worried that no one can understand what you're feeling or what you've been though. You think you should be able to handle it all on your own, but things aren't getting better. Deep down, you know that it is time to ask for help. Even if you've felt this way for a very long time, it is possible to feel better... You don't have to do this alone.

Navigating modern adulthood can be complicated and stressful. I specialize in helping folks in their 20s and 30s heal from trauma, anxiety, insecure attachment, difficult life transitions, and relationship challenges, with particular expertise in working with survivors of sexual assault and emotional abuse. My approach is feminist, queer-affirming, and sex-positive. We'll work together to identify patterns, build upon strengths, and enrich your sense of self.

It can be hard to know where to turn when you feel hopeless, overwhelmed, isolated, lost, or estranged from inner aliveness. Your feelings make sense - everyone gets lost sometimes. Panic and anxiety can be terrifying, and depression can feel immovable. You will gain relief, personalized tools, and creative solutions with a trusted ally in the therapeutic process. My approach is compassionate and curious, and I value trust-building collaboration and actionable treatment planning.

Melissa Dellens

The teenage years are filled with anxieties of self discovery and identity. As a young adult you may have parts of yourself you feel like you must hide. You may feel like there are conflicts with who you are, and how you currently present in the world. You may be coming to a deeper understanding of your gender or sexual identity. This can be a scary time that can complicate your relationship with your friends and family. Together we can explore ways to find a little more ease in the journey.
