Quinton Clawson

Maya Angelou said, "there is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you". I seek to help my clients share their stories in a comfortable, non-judgmental, and safe environment so that they can process their experiences and find a path to a brighter future.

Kathryn Pavcik

I work with young adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of their next steps. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, trauma, stress, or self-doubt, impacting their confidence and daily life. If you’re navigating major life transitions, relationship challenges, or just feeling lost, I provide a supportive space to explore these struggles. Together, we’ll identify what’s holding you back, develop coping strategies, and help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Katie Pollak

Pregnancy through the early years are a unique time. You may feel shame or guilt that things are not as perfect as you hoped they would be. At least 1 in 7 parents struggle with depression, anxiety or PTSD. You are not alone in this; You are not to blame; and with the right help, you will be well. Your little one may be struggling too, due to stress, like a NICU stay, divorce, or adoption. It's never too early to get help. As an infant mental health therapist, I work with you to support them.

Emily Morgan

Are you an adult who hasn't fully gotten over how you were treated as a child? Do you struggle with anxiety or PTSD symptoms? Do you keep repeating the same negative relationship patterns or have negative beliefs about your worth? Are you overcome with sadness about the childhood you should have had? Have you experienced emotional neglect and/or feel that you weren't emotionally cared for as a child? If any of these resonate with you, I can help.

Nickeisha Clarke

In my practice, I am dedicated to creating a supportive and transformative space for individuals who are grappling with the dual challenges of anxiety and depression. I work with clients who may be using maladaptive behaviors as a coping mechanism to deal with their inner turmoil. If you find yourself turning to habits that provide short-term relief but know deep down they contribute to a cycle of distress, I am here to guide you towards healthier strategies for managing your emotions.

Jodene Jensen

I treat a wide range of patients. The most personally rewarding part of every position I’ve had is getting to know people, talking with them, learning what makes them unique, and constantly rediscovering all the ways we are all the same. Medication management is an art and a science. There usually are many different acceptable treatment paths, and I enjoy getting to know my patients and figuring out what will work best for each particular person, given their preferences and personalities.

Ali Siewert

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

Brian Wilson

I provide individual psychotherapy for a broad range of adult mental health problems including depression, anxiety, work stress and relationship concerns. In addition, I have interests in trauma and PTSD, geriatric mental health, caregiver support, coping with chronic medical illnesses and insomnia. Couple's therapy is provided on a limited basis.

Dr. Yanet Vanegas

Are you a parent frustrated with behavioral challenges? Have you researched ways to “get your kids to listen” but found limited results? Does your child suffer from crippling anxiety, or are you pregnant, postpartum, and feeling lost, sad, anxious, or overwhelmed? These challenges are treatable. I help families find solutions, develop plans, and implement effective strategies. Using evidence-based methods, I resolve conflicts, improve behavior, and enhance family functioning.

Alex Kawliche

My counseling service is not just about addressing mental health concerns; it's about providing comprehensive support and life coaching. I understand that life presents a myriad of challenges, and I'm here to help you navigate them. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, coping skills, relationship issues, spirituality, grief, life transitions, addiction, men's issues, infertility, or seeking life coaching—I'm here for you.

Andrew Bekemeyer

I am excited to work with clients from diverse backgrounds and with various presenting concerns. This includes but is not limited to: anxiety, stress, depression, anger, and self-esteem. Additionally, I am a strong advocate for those battling issues with addiction, both substance and behavioral. Addiction, nor any other issue, should not be treated with a one-size-fits-all approach. Ideally we would collaborate together in identifying, prioritizing, and reaching your goals.

Kate Albarella

Do you struggle with your relationship with food and/or your body? Do you feel like you're in a constant state of restriction, binge eating, or compensatory behaviors? Or are you a parent or loved one of someone struggling with their own eating issues? Do you feel lost in how to support them? I'm here to help you navigate food and body image in a society that is obsessed with diet culture and thin bodies.

Gabrielle Layton

Are you ready to make that next step towards healing? Are you struggling within your relationship? Are you noticing that your trauma is impacting you the more you try to forget? I’m eager to help you find peace not only without yourself, but in your relationships and help you attain the skills you want in order to meet your goals!

Kara Anderson

My ideal client believes in growth and is motivated to effect desired change as a unified and committed team. My clients are my equal and I approach therapy as a collaborative process. Diversity is hallmark to my practice and I welcome differences across all realms. My clients immensely inspire me on a daily basis and remind me of my greater purpose outside of my own microcosm. It is always with utmost respect, humility and honor that I serve them.

Dr. Mariah Plociniak

You might be struggling with something concrete—a challenge in your relationships or a professional hurdle. You might be facing a big decision. Or you simply might know something feels off but are unable to place a finger on what is going on. No matter the issue, I am here to walk you through the process.

Megan Santiago

Trauma, anxiety & depression from relationship difficulties leave us feeling burnt out, struggling to set boundaries & feeling guilty for other people's emotional distress. You're done feeling like you're losing yourself in relationships, neglecting self-care, and maybe even people-pleasing to avoid abandonment or rejection. Remembering when you didn't feel driven by this may be difficult. You're ready to become more secure, meet your own needs & let go of being responsible for others' feelings.

Shamika Gaskin

I work with clients from all walks of life. Military, active and veterans, children starting at age 8, teenagers, young adults and adults. I am also LGBTQIA affirming. I have experience working with Autism Disorder, Depression, Anxiety and ADHD.

Maggie Englund

I offer telehealth counseling services to diverse client populations experiencing a host of challenges. One of the primary populations I treat is young adults experiencing difficulty with major life transitions, relationships, and future-planning concerns. Additionally, I have enjoyed my work treating couples, especially those with a history of substance abuse in one or more partners. I'm proud to offer an inclusive space for clients regardless of identity or background.

Rebecca White

Do you always feel like you keep messing up? Keep making the same mistakes over and over again? Are wondering why you just can't get it right? I'm here to tell you you're not hopeless. You can do things differently to get what you want. But you can't keep doing the same thing and hope for things to change. Here's the truth: chances are you haven't learned the skills you need to have a fulfilling relationship where you feel heard and understood.

Katie Adams

You’ve gone to therapy before, but nothing seems to stick. The things you’ve always done to cope aren’t working, but you can’t break free from those patterns no matter how hard you try. You have a hard time setting boundaries, advocating for yourself, and making the changes you want. You’re having memory issues and shutting down. You feel helpless, broken, and unacceptable. Your inner critic is loud and tough. You’re on edge all the time and exhausted. It's like you've been shattered to pieces.
