Dr. David Shoup

My clients are successful professionals who, despite their external success, often feel hampered by their private thoughts. They are frequently people on edge and who spend too much time analyzing the day's or past conversations, rehashing them repeatedly. Often these thoughts get in the way of their relationship, hobbies, and enjoying life to its fullest. I use cognitive and mindfulness technics to help people finding a new way forward.

M. Sara Yap

I work with young adults, women and female identifying folx and 1st & 2nd generation immigrants navigating major life transitions, career uncertainty, relationships, and financial well-being. My clients are thoughtful and often balance cultural / familial expectations with personal aspirations. They seek clarity, confidence, and deeper connections—wanting to move past self-doubt, burnout, or overwhelm to build a life that feels meaningful, fulfilling, and aligned with their values.

Alexandra (Xana) Cook-Milligan

If you are feeling overwhelmed, numb or angry about the state of the world... I can relate. I know what it feels like to be lost in emotional overwhelm, wanting answers and finding none. Depression and anxiety may in truth be an appropriate response to oppressive systems. And, I know how to use and share tools that keep us reaching for hope, joy, love and vitality. There is no unsolvable problem. Not when we search within for the core of our humanity and the actions that fuel our spirit.

Let's talk about culture, traditions, and ancestral lineage. Let's gieve and heal from all the ways in which this world has broken your heart.

Laura Kauth

I work with older teens and young adults to support with issues related to "adulting" and all the transitions that come along with it. My clients typically need help with identity development, family conflict, attention issues, anxiety, substance use, creating boundaries, managing relationships, & other challenges.

Sabrina Fish

Do you struggle with feeling at loss with your sense of self, which affects your relationships and your day-to-day life? Do you feel overwhelmed by your mind constantly thinking about the what-ifs of life? Do you feel disconnected from yourself and others? Now more than ever women are feeling anxious, uncertain, and overwhelmed about how to "manage it all" and take care of themselves. Constantly putting everyone else before you can lead to feeling burnt-out and disconnected from mind and body.

Sara Fischer Sanford

Perhaps you're here because something feels off, difficult, or just… heavy. You might be actively searching for support, or maybe you're just tentatively exploring the idea of therapy. You know you need a space where you won't just be accepted, but truly understood – a place where your identity as isn't just a footnote, but a central, respected part of your story. I heal both mind and body from abuse, attachment wounds, isolation, and self-doubt or hatred.

Ashley Grant

My clients tend to be individuals who struggle to advocate for themselves in relationships- whether they be work, romantic, familial or friendly. They tend to put other people's feelings before their own. They may struggle with anxiety, depression, or both. I work with a lot of people who experienced emotional neglect in childhood, and/or self centered parents, and/or very oppressive home environments.

Bear Korngold

Have you found yourself locked in a pattern of relating that leads again and again to the same negative, frustrating or unsatisfying outcomes? I help couples or individuals identify and alter these patterns, often with insight into how they developed in the first place, leading to happier and more fulfilling relationships and lives.

Shianling Weeks

You're deeply caring, creative, and curious. And you feel stuck, not good enough, overwhelmed, hurting. Disconnected from the life you want. You may be in numbness and slowly suffocating in a deep hole. You may find yourself shutting down and avoiding things that are usually important to you. You may be facing a big life change that throws your sense of who you are. You could be struggling to start a family, or dealing with scary thoughts and emotional pain in pregnancy, postpartum, or beyond.

Vera Fleischer

One thing that a lot of my clients have in common is a harsh inner critic. This critic can affect your self-esteem, cause anxiety or depression or both, or hold you back from pursuing your dreams. I look at the inner critic is as a part of you. I want to make space for other parts of you that aren't as dominant so that you can thrive. I also connect well with people who have experienced childhood emotional neglect, meaning that it was difficult to form a solid trusting bond with your caregivers.

Ann Marie Dobosz

Yes, the state of the world right now is overwhelming. But to be honest, you've felt this way a long time: anxious, uncertain, despairing. Do you respond by trying to do everything perfectly, plan five steps ahead, never make any mistakes? Do you have a persistent feeling of "not good enough" that follows you from work to relationships to family? Is your mind often racing with thoughts about what you could have done better or how you disappointed someone?

Shameless Mama Wellness

Are you a new mom struggling with postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, or intrusive thoughts? Has a traumatic childbirth left you feeling disconnected from your baby? Birth trauma can cause symptoms of PTSD, and giving birth and having a new baby can lead to very painful mental health struggles. Many new moms can feel guilt and shame as a result and many have thoughts they feel they need to keep hidden. A Postpartum Therapist can help you make sense of it all.

Rebekah Smith

There comes a point for many of us when we realize that we don’t want to face our problems alone. We are human after all, and a part of what defines that humanity is our need for each other. I understand how frightening it can be to let people in and get close. You may tend to give more than you get back. You might feel self-critical. You might not know what it is you're needing. I'm here to join you and to help you find the connection and purpose you may be seeking.

Caroline Lockett - Corwell

Can you push through hard times? Sure - you always do. Life is challenging these days. But what if you can learn to feel really good, even when life is chaotic? What if reactivity, fear, guilt, shame, anxiety and depression wasn't your first go to? What if you could really be present in your life, work, and your relationships? My clients show up to create meaning, joy, peace, and resiliency in their demanding lives and relationships. They are engaged and work through the really hard things.

Erik Karff

I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, identity exploration, & self-criticism. Many of my clients have felt like the “Black Sheep”—those who’ve struggled with belonging or felt misunderstood. My work is LGBTQ+ affirming, trauma-informed, and rooted in understanding how societal forces impact well-being. I provide a safe, open, and sometimes challenging yet playful space to support growth and emotional freedom.
