Jessica Reynolds

Sometimes we need a change in our lives, our relationships and ourselves, and we need help navigating how to do that. Sometimes the change and loss happen to us, and we need help navigating how to get through it. Whether change is something you want in yourself or your relationship, or you are grieving change life has thrown your way, therapy can help. Having someone come alongside with empathy and knowledge can be a light in the dark to illuminate the path forward.

As your therapist, I aim to understand your pain and guide you toward a life where your past no longer dictates your present—a life of hope, connection, and resilience. Together, we'll work to release anxiety and despair, helping you reclaim your strength and live fully, untethered from the pain that has held you back.

Liz Kruder

We know that each child is worth the effort, and that no single approach to autism treatment works for every child that’s diagnosed with autism. We recognize the distinct sets of needs and strengths that each child carries, and we commit ourselves to recognize and respect these differences which makes each child unique and special.

Jennifer Flood

An ideal client would be someone who is empathetic toward others and compassionate toward themselves and is open, coachable, and capable of accepting feedback. The process of therapy takes time and energy so having someone start the process of therapy with an open mind and a willingness to put in the work to see the process through is also helpful. Jennifer also offers clinical supervision to associates registered with the Board of Behavioral Sciences (AMFT, PCC, ASW).

Parents… Are you worried about your teen? Are they so moody? Maybe you’re wondering whether what’s going on is ‘normal teenage stuff’ or something to be more concerned about? Adults...Are you living the life you want to live right now? Or Is stress, anxiety, trauma, or grief getting in the way? Are you, “in your head” a lot, ruminating about your relationships? work? the future? I’d like to help. I love working with teens and adults, and also I'm trained and experienced in EMDR therapy.

Nicole Preiss

I help adults who are dealing with challenges in the present, but they know there is something deeper affecting their coping.

I help my clients take control of their life story and create the narrative they want for themselves.

Chris Tickner, PhD, MFT

While I work with a wide range of folks, I tend to be the person folks come to when other therapies haven't worked. Relational Somatic Psychotherapy is a deep and powerful therapeutic approach. It works at a very deep and primal level. We combine neuro-biologically informed treatment with mindfulness, movement, traditional talk therapy, drama therapy and more, all in the container of our relationship.

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.
