Carly Rose Bretl

I work with people that are struggling with painful experiences from their past and want to heal trauma. My clients often identify as women, trans or non-binary, bi-cultural or BIPOC. Many are intellectuals, activists, creatives and the like—some for whom traditional talk therapy has not been successful. I will work collaboratively with you to understand your instincts and process unresolved stuff in you nervous system so you can feel satisfied in your life.

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.

Jonathan Benko

I want to understand the nuances of your experience. I frequently meet with people who have doubts about seeking help, or last time they tried therapy it didn’t work out. Many of my clients have been told something was wrong with them, that they are not normal, and that their values and preferences are not acceptable. Sometimes they have taken this on and live under pressure. I’d be honored to talk with you as you journey toward your hoped-for life.

Alisia Murphy

You’re a woman (cis, trans, gender-fluid) who shows up for others in work, family, and community. You’re deeply attuned to those around you, yet long for a space where your own needs are held with the same care you give so freely. You may be a therapist, teacher, artist, auntie, or quiet caregiver. You might long to reconnect with yourself, to unravel, and be met with deep compassion. I see you. You don’t have to be the strong one here.

My clients are managing ADHD, ASD, OCD, trauma, anxiety, relationship struggles, and depression. They’re tired of therapy that just listens without offering real solutions.

Adela Stone

Your styles of conflict are probably different: some partners fight a lot, some avoid conflict and yet others are able to talk things out without ever raising their voice. Your partnership may be tested by the ways you each show affection and intimacy. You might have realized that you don't share the same values. Maybe you just found out that your partner is neurodivergent (autism or ADHD), leaving you to wonder if your marriage can thrive and not end in emotional abandonment.

Angela Dube

I work with teens, college aged students, & parents with children of any age who are experiencing depression, anxiety, perfectionism, stress, and/or trauma. I understand that parents are the most influential people in a child’s life and that parenting is the hardest job there is. Therefore, I work with whole families, and often only the parents, to support the family in improving their connection, communication, getting their individual needs met, and providing each other with emotional support.

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.

I look forward to helping you put the pieces together and live a more resilient, satisfying life.

There are many reasons why someone would seek Psychotherapy. Generally, these are situations or conditions that create emotional and psychological stress that interfere with daily functioning. In addition, people also seek therapy who feel that they already have a healthy, and relatively balanced and successful life, but have a specific issue that they wish to resolve to help them feel more successful. We work with people to help improve their self awareness and attain a better understanding
