Ann Marie Dobosz

Yes, the state of the world right now is overwhelming. But to be honest, you've felt this way a long time: anxious, uncertain, despairing. Do you respond by trying to do everything perfectly, plan five steps ahead, never make any mistakes? Do you have a persistent feeling of "not good enough" that follows you from work to relationships to family? Is your mind often racing with thoughts about what you could have done better or how you disappointed someone?

My style is individualized to each person and their specific needs. I believe it is a team effort, and the best results come from having someone who is walking beside you through the process.

I offer a safe and welcoming space where clients can feel heard and understood. I have experience working with children and teens who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, ADHD, trauma, or difficulties in family dynamics.

Beth Thomas

Are you a new mom, dad, or partner, struggling with anxiety/depression or scary thoughts? Perhaps you have just been given a new diagnosis and are struggling to come to terms with it? Or maybe you are a caregiver or the loved one who is sick or dying. My clients are looking for a deeply compassionate person to help them learn new ways to cope with life's big curveballs.

Samantha Micael

I specialize in working with folks who are feeling disconnected from the life they’ve created. You may be feeling burnt out, with little time for self-care because you're so busy being there for others. This stress is impacting your self-confidence, and is causing you to be your own worst critic. It's interfering with your ability to communicate about your struggles because you've convinced yourself no one will understand you. If this is feeling all too real, then it's the right time to connect!

Meghan Foucher

You love your partner and used to enjoy your time together. Now you find yourselves in the same arguments repeatedly. You feel like you can't do anything right despite trying hard to be a good partner. Your efforts go unnoticed, and intimacy has become difficult, leaving you frustrated and reluctant to try. Conversations end in conflict, creating distance and loneliness. Both of you are tired of arguing and walking on eggshells, feeling stuck and alone.

My clients face unique stressors tied to their professions, and I am committed to providing a compassionate, informed space to help them navigate the challenges that come with service.

Donovan Beattie

I enjoy working with individuals aged 15 and older, especially those from the LGBTQ+ community and those navigating challenges like eating disorders. I believe everyone deserves to be heard, and my goal is to provide support, be a resource, and help clients navigate life in a positive way. My focus is on my clients’ well-being, whatever that may look like for them, and I aim to ensure they leave feeling just a little better than when they first arrived.

Kate St. Onge

Whether you’ve been in therapy before or it’s your first time, taking the steps to get started is the hardest part. Daily life can be challenging and stressful. Managing daily responsibilities, work, significant others/family/friends; on top of stress of anxiety, that sometimes comes out of no where, depression and/or relationship issues can feel impossible. Learning to balance it all seems out of reach, but it doesn't have to. I look forward to helping you take your life back.

Jeannie Plugis

I work with young adults and adults who are experiencing stress and anxiety.

Then you can more easily make choices that are consistent with your personal values and goals.
