My clients present with a range of needs. I work with adults and couples on issues relating to anxiety, depression, trauma, ptsd, sex addiction, and self-esteem. I am LGBTQ affirming and have experience working with clients from many diverse backgrounds and relationship styles.

Jon Soileau

I believe relational psychotherapy helps to restore hope and connection, even during seasons of immense pain and suffering. Having a place where you can be heard and feel known is essential while working through heavy feelings, emotions, and thoughts and processing difficult experiences. As therapy deepens, individuals I work with gain insight into presenting symptoms and patterns of behavior that initially brought them to see me.

Jon Soileau

Knowing that we can be loved exactly as we are gives us the best opportunity to grow into the healthiest people. I believe therapeutic relationships can help ease worries and struggles and restore hope, even during seasons of immense pain and suffering. Having a place where you can be heard and feel understood is essential to your healing. As our therapeutic relationship deepens, individuals gain insight into what initially brought them to see me.

Katie Ballard

I work with a lot of folks who have noticed that something in their lives isn’t working. Whether it’s transitions in or out of relationships, desiring parenthood, entering parenthood and feeling over (or under) whelmed, or simply needing a way to process the scary fast paced changes happening in our country currently - you deserve a space to process.

Marrissa Rhodes

My clients are thoughtful, driven individuals who appear successful to others but often feel stuck in recurring patterns of anxiety, self-doubt, or relationship struggles. They’ve often tried other therapies but sense there’s something deeper at play. Whether they’re professionals, entrepreneurs, creatives, or deep thinkers, they seek more than symptom management—they want true insight and transformation. Together, we explore unconscious patterns, creating lasting change from the inside out.

Bobbi-Jean Barker

I specialize in supporting individuals, couples, and groups navigating trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, relational and attachment challenges, and the ongoing journey of building and strengthening the self. I believe in creating a safe, compassionate space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered in their healing and growth.

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.

Rachel Jaggard

My passion is working with folks who are struggling with: Compulsory Heterosexuality, Asexuality/Aromanticism, Navigating Polyamory/CNM/Open Relationships, and Doomerism/Nihilism/Climate Anxiety.

Sally Williams

Perhaps with today’s latest challenges you feel out of balance, stuck in some places, and in need of a fresh approach that honors your strengths and personal values. My clients have led remarkable lives, often with a lot of success, but also a lot of stress. The successes may make it difficult to reach out for support. They may have developed substance use issues or other coping skills that are no longer helpful.

Erik Johnston

Alongside you, I commit to building a space that can be durable enough to hold against the most violent storms of anxiety, depression and loss, yet, remain tender enough to hold the realities of a wounded heart, a confused mind and a tender voice. I believe education and understanding are important keys to navigating yourself and those with whom you are in relationship. A genuine understanding of your life through narratives, themes, diagrams and pictures can be the key to a therapeutic process.

Carla Edwards-Burke

I love working with clients who have chosen alternative lifestyles, disenfranchised individuals, and those who face the stigma of being different! Facing stigma, prejudice, and judgemental ideologies can be traumatic. Getting the help you need, from a Psychologist with 25 years of experience working thru these issues will be a comforting and enlightening journey. I also specialize in trauma recovery and Adult Children of Narcissistic Parents. I am a PsyPact Psychologist and able to practice in

Melanie Collins

Often, my clients find themselves in circumstances or environments in which they do not feel understood or seen. The sometimes think no one will ever really 'get' them. This could be because of a lifestyle, religion, or just generally who they feel they are as a person. Many have been afraid to reach out previously. They hope to someday find that one place or person who won't judge them, but rather sit with them through the muck. You've found it. Welcome home.

Vanessa Knight

My heart work is helping people feel secure, especially humans with complex trauma. I help those experiencing relational difficulties & those who experience pain from losses, betrayal, and religious trauma. Working primarily with married/unmarried couples of all types, adult individuals, & families, I’m a Certified Emotion-Focused Therapist, an AEDP clinician, a Certified Facilitator with the Fair Play Institute (domestic equity in households). My clients appreciate compassionate directness.

Barbara Beck

Always second guessing your comments and over explaining is exhausting. Not knowing what to expect you walk on eggshells questioning what will happen next? Narcissistic-like behaviors include swinging from being caring and attentive to being irritated, demanding and manipulative. We continue to tell ourselves they will change, as we have invested so much time and energy into the relationship. Now, walking away does not seem like an option or maybe you are "done".

Katrena Armstrong

I support all couples, adult individuals, and families. My purpose is to provide a safe space for the mental, emotional, and spiritual healing from life's challenges. I strive to get to the root of the presenting issue. Whether you struggle with relationship issues, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, self-esteem, or any other issue, you should know that there is hope for a better tomorrow. This healing process is all about YOU discovering and presenting to the world your best self.

Cameron Lamb

I welcome people of all races, ethnicities, gender, and sexual orientations. People have worked with me to explore things like depression, anxiety, gender identity, grief/loss, life transitions, recovering from infidelity, and more. I specialize in working with trans, nonbinary, and queer-identified clients. I provide knowledgeable support through social and medical transition and provide HRT/surgery letters. I enjoy supporting and educating partners and family members through therapy as well.

Josh Johns

You're tired. Tired of struggling with the relentless difficulties life sends your way, weighed down by the echoes of past pain and trauma. Tired of feeling like you're drowning in a sea of uncertainty, struggling to keep your head above water. Tired of the endless cycle of relationship struggles, where compassion and understanding break down and intimacy feels like a fairy tale. Part of you knows that you can’t do it alone anymore. It is a difficult, vulnerable, and brave thing to seek support.

Jeremy Didier

Adults with ADHD are often overlooked, under diagnosed or misdiagnosed altogether. Most of my clients find me when their kids are diagnosed with ADHD, and they start to wonder.... What a relief it can be to have an explanation for all the things you may have struggled with in your lifetime!

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.

Chuck Whittington

Maybe you’ve tried everything. You’ve spent the last of your energy and hope. It feels like depression and anxiety are winning. Or drugs or alcohol are taking over. It’s a scary place to be. And can feel lonely. But you don’t have to be alone. I work with clients in this scary place and am unafraid to step into these challenges with you. You already have the strength and courage to do this. I can help you find your own way to make different choices for yourself and make your situation better.
