You're ready to change. You're ready to put in the time and effort to change. You're ready for a no nonsense, practical, straightforward approach to what's troubling you. You want a therapist who has a flexible schedule and will work with you in person, online, by phone, text and email for as long or short a time as you need. You want a therapist who walks the talk and has experienced his own profound personal growth. You want a therapist who is kind, compassionate and has heard it all.

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.

Stephanie Townsend

We can often find ourselves feeling as though others just don't "get it." We can get caught up in the "why" when bad things happen to us. Do people often call you strong or resilient? Were you an "old spirit" as a kid or wise beyond your years? Trauma is unfair, it steals, breaks, and leaves a trail of hurt. Trauma can change us to our core and it's absolutely worth talking about. You deserve to feel the release of past horrible events following you around.
