Mark Sharp

Are you unhappy with the state of your relationship? Do you feel like you walk on eggshells and a battle could break out at any time? Or do you feel lonely and like your partner is just a roommate? Relationships are not easy and our intimate relationships can be the most difficult ones to manage. Fortunately, it is possible to restore a powerful connection and develop communication that makes you grow stronger rather than pushing you apart. I look forward to helping you rebuild your relationship

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.

Lori Bolnick

My clients prefer telehealth services. Whether they feel more comfortable accessing therapy from home or have difficulty attending "in person" sessions because of chronic and acute health issues, my schedule allows for weekly appointments with little to no wait time. I always keep my caseload small to accommodate my clients needs, so they feel like they can access support whenever they need it. My PsyPact APIT allows me to provide support whether you are at home, away at college, or traveling.

Suzy Puican

Trauma can create a ripple effect on your life, spreading from what may logically 'just be a memory' to widespread impacts; hypervigilance , negative self beliefs, frequent anxiety or panic attacks, etc. I seek to provide a comfortable landing space to process through hard memories and begin the healing process. My ideal client is open (even hoping?) to use their imagination in the therapy space!

Joy Walsh

It always amazes me the complete turn around clients can do with the tools they already have, they just needed to discover, reorganize or sharpen a few things. Clients who typically seek me out are looking for a therapist who specializes in trauma, perinatal or postpartum issues, women's issues, anxiety or who can help support them in a significant life transition. I am excited to offer you a space to heal, learn and feel you are not alone.

Erin Runt

I push people to connect more deeply with one another, and to understand more about what they need and desire from each other. Clients tell me that my ability to hold space for each of their perspectives and “translate” their experiences to one another helps them overcome the barriers they feel in communication. I am most successful with clients who want to increase their understanding of their situation, who are willing to change and grow, and who are open to being accountable.

Katie Gilly

Do you feel like your relationship has lost the connection that it once had? Have you found yourself struggling to be heard, understood and accepted by others? Do you find yourself in arguments with your partner that feel like the same one over and over again? If you have answered yes to any of these questions then you are not alone. I work with many clients who find themselves feeling stuck in life and their relationships without knowing what to do next.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or misunderstood? If so, I would love to offer you a comfortable (virtual) space in which to get support. I enjoy working with people who are exploring neurodivergence (particularly autism and ADHD), gender identity, sexual orientation, or body image. I also connect well with people who are experiencing major life changes, chronic health conditions, or who are struggling with relationships and boundaries.
