Melissa Moreland

If you identify as an empath, a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), a Highly Intuitive Person (HIP), or curious about connecting to a holistic approach. I understand the unique challenges you face.

Abbey Monsalud

I'm a decolonial art therapist who loves to work with creative adults who are navigating identity, neurodivergence, and relationship issues.

Noopur Shah

My clients are vibrant folks; queer and trans kids/adults of color.

Jordan Dobrowski

Have you felt let down by treatments that miss the mark or providers who just don’t get it? Are you tired of leaving parts of yourself at the door—your LGBTQ identity, neurodivergence, chronic illness, or cultural experiences? Jordan offers a compassionate, biopsychosocial-spiritual approach, inviting you to show up as your full, authentic self. You are worthy of care. You are welcome here.

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.

Winnie Landon

I know from experience how important it is to create a safe, empowering and affirming therapy space, that will foster trust and allow us to acknowledge the nuances and beauties of your intersecting identities and unique inner self. I enjoy working with adults 18+ from diverse backgrounds and am committed to understanding your unique experience.

Sophia Jelsma

Are you a young person struggling to make decisions for yourself? Do you feel lost? Does the thought of adulthood overwhelm you? To unburden yourself of this pressure, it may help to talk to someone. Therapy is a space for you to open up without the fear of shame or rejection. I operate my practice based on three tenets: 1) I will listen to you 2) I will provide you with evidence-based tools for life 3) I will ask for your feedback. Together, we will look for ways to best cope with adult stress.

Craig Mead

People typically come to therapy to improve themselves, their relationships, or both. I can help you work through and understand the mental and emotional root causes of your thoughts, feelings, fears, and anxieties. Sometimes, we must reexamine long-held beliefs to see if they still serve us. I can help you understand yourself and others better, deconstruct stressors, and build resilience in the face of difficulty. We'll harvest the past for wisdom but keep a moving forward future orientation.

Lara Wolff

I enjoy working with creatives, spiritual seekers and the spiritually-wounded, those struggling with grief and loss, other therapists, people coping with C-PTSD, and those who simply want to become more of who they are meant to be. My clients tend to be open to approaching therapy more experientially and are interested in doing depth work vs. single-issue work.

Amy Markley

When your relationship is suffering, you're suffering. Sometimes, incredibly so. Maybe the person you used to feel so close to now seems more like a distant stranger. Maybe a betrayal has left you outraged and alone. Maybe all the fighting and miscommunication makes you wonder at times what you ever saw in your partner at all. My clients are couples, individuals and families who want to love each other more fully and strengthen their bonds.

Jennifer Bradtke

The to-do list is never-ending and what’s done never feels quite enough. You are diligent about keeping on top of things and it’s gotten you pretty far. But, you find yourself asking “I’m running myself ragged for this?” Well, you are not alone. My clients are busy, professionals who feel stressed, anxious, and struggle with imposter syndrome. They seem put together on the outside but struggle with burnout and feeling like they are one step away from catastrophe.

Sam Abboud

Is your life feeling like an unsolvable puzzle? Are you struggling to find the answers you're looking for? Whether I’m working with individuals or couples, I bring a disarming, yet firm, grounded presence to support you through challenges with relationships and attachment, men’s mental health, mixed-race identity, life transitions, anxiety, and depression. From the start, we will work at your pace to understand your lived experience and identify the core issues getting in your way.

Lee Rotem

I aim to help you to figure out the source of your anxiety, depression and recognize the barriers to the actions you wish to take in your life, and remove them. In my therapy space, you will find lightness and humor that can allow you to feel comfortable, and dig into everything that is weighing on you in life. I utilize a warm and collaborative therapy space, which is the best foundation for self-reflection and for finding courage to make changes, while feeling supported and seen.

Mia Dal Santo

Are you someone who is looking for help or support in your non-traditional relationship structure or sexuality? Are you struggling to feel seen or heard in these identities? As a relational therapist, I recognize that our connections with others are the basis of both the greatest struggles and the greatest rewards we can know. I desire to work with people who are seeking to flesh out their sense of identity and strengths, and through doing so, relate to others more authentically and skillfully.

Stef Stone

I specialize in working with members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community who are looking to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships. Many of my clients come to therapy to process grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, impulse control, gender identity, sexuality, and sexual health.

Sylvester Merritt

My emphases are addressing mental health of marginalized groups, and understanding how culture should be respected and acknowledged in the therapeutic space. As I continue to work on obtaining my doctorate in psychology, my interventions and approach to treatment informs me how to customize the therapeutic space for each client and praise our differences while promoting inner healing. Creating emotional space and showing the power of it helps my clients narrate their lives once more.

Alexis Jenkins

Let's go on a journey of exploration together, where we can discover ways to create comfort, find stillness, overcome challenges, and develop a deeper understanding of ourselves and others. My practice focuses on working with those who may be navigating anxiety, OCD, depression, relationship issues, codependency, or self-esteem concerns. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed or stuck, I’m here to help you uncover insights and develop strategies that align with your goals.

Sarah Malavenda

In my work with individuals, I support those looking to address anxiety, stress management, trauma, gender, sexuality, and sex. As someone who lives with a chronic illness, I also personally understand the complexities of navigating the healthcare system. In my work with couples, I work with folks looking for support with relationship issues within monogamous and consensually non-monogamous relationships. I’m also passionate about meeting the unique needs of neurodiverse and LGBTQ+ couples.

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.

Charlie Blim

I provide counseling to adults and adolescents, helping them navigate issues like anxiety, depression, self-esteem, body image, and sexuality or gender identity development. With a deep passion for and experience working with diverse communities—including the queer community, neurodivergent individuals, and those in non-monogamous/kink communities—I strive to create an inclusive space where all feel welcomed and understood.
