What does "balance" & "wellness" look like, feel like & mean to you? Our own versions of "balance" fluctuate over time & I aim to normalize that! At times we may need guidance in redefining "balance" and/or "wellness" as we work on relationships, experience life transitions, process intergenerational trauma, work on radically accepting recurring patterns, navigate anxiety, embrace adolescence/adulthood, etc. My ultimate goal is to nonjudgmentally support your needs throughout this process.

Adam Whitlatch

I work best with clients who want to explore their experiences and seek meaningful change, even if the path forward feels unclear. You may be navigating anxiety, depression, identity or relationship issues, life transitions, difficult emotions, or simply looking to understand yourself more deeply. Whether you are new to therapy or returning, I provide a supportive and genuine space to foster clarity, growth, and self-discovery.

Hayley Miller

I know what it's like to struggle with feeling safe in your body and not knowing why you feel that way. We together can separate the medical challenges from the mental health challenges. I can help teach you strategies to move through your trauma and eating disorder challenges to remain feeling safe in your body again. We can expand the uncomfortable feelings gently in session to help those feelings move out of your body and not return.

Alison Murphey

Do you feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or defeat, as a result of a significant life change or trauma? Maybe a relationship has ended or a new phase of life has just begun. Perhaps you’re living with the long-term effects of abuse, illness/pain or other traumatic experiences. You may feel out of control of your life or emotions. Eventually, these things start to overflow into other areas of life...and yet despite how hard things are right now, you know there’s more to life than this.

Brian Buzzella

I entered graduate school in 2005 with a passion for understanding and learning to help relieve, a wide range of anxiety disorders in both youth and adults. When choosing a dissertation I had the opportunity to explore ways to support male same-sex couples efforts to maintain their romantic relationships. During my postdoc I provided care to combat Veterans with PTSD. My current practice involves the delivery of evidence-based therapies across these three areas.

GISSELL RODRIGUEZ

Many clients come to me when traditional talk therapy hasn’t provided the healing they hoped for. They seek a holistic approach to address the root of their pain and long for profound transformation. My clients often feel lost, on auto-pilot, or disconnected from their bodies, loved ones, and the world around them. Others feel overwhelmed by life’s demands or stuck in unhelpful patterns. Together, we create a compassionate space to foster connection, healing, and lasting change.
