Merrisa Dawn Santos

Adept at working with patients from various cultural backgrounds and sexual orientations. My holistic approach focuses on the mind, body, and spirit to promote mental health and well-being. I believe in working within a multicultural lens and am committed to providing compassionate, collaborative counseling services and therapeutic approaches across the entire human landscape. I'm a critical thinker who utilizes mind-mapping techniques to help people achieve healthier and more balanced life.

Katelyn Kennon

I view the main vehicle for healing as connection: with me, with yourself, with your body, with others in your life, with your environment, and with broader structures and movements. If you're seeking to meet or become reacquainted with all parts of yourself without shame, I would be honored to serve as a supportive guide along the way. We will use therapy as a place to explore what possibilities open up for you when you feel your most connected, authentic, agentic, and free.

Allyson Stephens

I like working with clients who want to heal through trauma that they have experienced. I work with clients who have C-PTSD, anxiety, depression, dissociation, emotion dysregulation issues, low self-esteem, and limited emotional expression. I like to help clients develop emotional awareness, skills, and information on what can help you move forward on symptoms you are experiencing.

Benjamin Lyons

Most of my clients have known something is off for a long time. Perhaps it's a persistent challenge to finish projects, a tendency to double-book yourself, or an inability to read a room. Maybe it's the sense that you're working a lot harder than the people around you to make the same progress. What recent research tells us is that ADHD and Autism are up to 300% more common than previously believed. That means a lot of people have been missed, esp. women, AFAB, trans, NB, and POC folx.

Scottie Eskelund

I mostly work with trans and polyamorous folks who are wanting to grow and improve their lives. You are good, and I believe that fear often clouds one’s goodness. So often blocks to wellness can be found in the parts of ourselves that we believe we must hide, shame, or disregard. Through shadow work and exploring the narratives that we live by, I work with my client's to reclaim their power and find wholeness.

Ashley Wilkins

Have you lost someone, experienced a significant change in your life, or find yourself feeling overwhelmed by what life has thrown at you? I’m here to support you in finding your new normal and help you feel less alone. As your therapist, I will work together with you to help you get from where you are to where you want to be. I specialize in issues of grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, sexual abuse, parenting, and overall life transitions.

Aderonke Oshibajo, DNP, PMHNP-BC

Thank you for considering me as your partner in health. In my practice, I strive to foster a nurturing environment where mutual understanding is the cornerstone of our partnership. I am deeply committed to a holistic care philosophy that acknowledges and respects the intricate tapestry of physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual aspects that make you unique.

Allyson Stephens

I love working with: Kids and teens working through anxiety, depression, dysregulated emotions, trauma, understanding family dynamics, self-harm, and low self-esteem symptoms. Young adults and adults working through PTSD symptoms, anxiety, depression, generational trauma, working through chronic somatic systems, identifying boundaries, life transitions, building self-esteem, and working on healing self.

Heather Beller

Folks tend to seek me out once feelings of fear, overwhelm, and exhaustion hit a breaking point. You may feel tension in your body right now. You may feel worn out, body and soul. Maybe you feel numb. You may be adjusting to life changes and feeling in over your head. Perhaps you've experienced an event you think you should be over by now, but you're not. I know you're here because you need support and a new perspective, and I believe I can help you create and enact a plan to feel better.

Bernadette Kelly

I specialize in supporting people with marginalized sexualities and relationships, including kink/BDSM, polyamory, ethical non-monogamy, and general concerns with sex / sexual desire. I understand how strong the shame can be here; my main priority is making sure you feel deeply heard, understood, and accepted. Not just by me, but by all parts of yourself as well. My hope is to help clients fully integrate these parts, even (and especially) the hidden ones.

Paige Harper

I enjoy working with clients on relationship issues, anxiety, adjustment, trauma, and with members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I welcome the opportunity to work with individuals, teens, couples, families, and children. My history working in community health settings with children experiencing behavioral issues and developmental disorders continues to inform my practice as a clinician. I have worked closely with families undergoing lifestyle transitions and young adults entering college.

Samire Qosaj

Are you an immigrant or a first-generation American navigating the intricate intersection of culture, religion, and identity? I am a first generation Muslim American. Albanian is my first language, and I am happy to work with clients in Albanian. English is my second language. I have tackled my own issues around identity with religion and the western world, and continue to do so as I navigate my own intersectionality.

Osvaldo Alcaraz

Maybe you’ve been exploring your queerness, questioning whether you might be neurodivergent, or facing internal conflict between how you identify and its intersectionality with your familial, cultural, and/or religious values. Perhaps you’ve experienced religious trauma and are looking to incorporate religion back into your life. No matter what you find yourself navigating, I’m here, I’m queer, and I’m glad you found me.

Amy Springer Robinson

Maybe you have been living with depression and anxiety or feeling outcasted in life for as long as you can remember. Perhaps you're an adult who was recently given or self-diagnosed as neurodivergent. You could be an individual or couple seeking out new ways to build and maintain healthy intimacy or looking to explore your varying personal and sexual identities. No matter what brings you to therapy, I firmly believe that human connection is at the center of each of our lived experiences.

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.

Rowan Tree Counseling

Our clients present with a variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, disordered eating, body image concerns, OCD, relationship challenges, navigating life transitions, immigration/first generation experiences, identity exploration, and issues related to neurodivergence. We specialize in working with individuals who are seeking a greater sense of alignment with themselves and those who are looking for support as they find their own way.

Holly Miller

I work with both individuals and couples, and have experience working with those who may be struggling with issues related to sexuality and identity. I strive to create a safe and empathetic environment in which to explore and be curious about your unique experience.

India Flinchum

I work well with adults and adolescents (specifically women) experiencing challenges with anxiety, self-esteem, mood, and identity. I am passionate about supporting you in discovering and deepening your "sense of Self". We humans are complex, multifaceted creatures— often holding conflicting feelings and aspirations at once. Together, we'll untangle the web of your varied human experiences, to make sense of the "you" at the core.

Micah Holst

My past experience with clients includes anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, self-esteem, polyamory relationships, life transitions, and identity exploration. I have worked primarily with clients experiencing marginalization from multiple identities they hold.

Sam Lenzi

I am very passionate about working with clients at the intersection of BIPOC and Queer Identities. I am familiar with issues that impact College Students, Cancer Patients, Caregivers, and people with Eating Disorders. I enjoy working with adults 18-45 who are struggling Grief, Anxiety, and Trauma. Most of my clients will at some point hear me talk about defining one’s values, how to be more self-compassionate, and the benefits of mindfulness. We will hopefully laugh a lot as well!
