Kayla Grzech

My clients come to me feeling stuck, overwhelmed or lost. They feel like something is wrong with them. They want to figure out how to function better and feel like they belong in the world and in their relationships (with partners, family, friends, colleagues). They experience anxiety, people-pleasing, and intense feelings of responsibility. Some suffer from Eldest Daughter syndrome. Many have experienced religious trauma/spiritual wounds that complicate their sense of self and ability to trust.

Hannah Smith

We don’t live in a society that lets you be who you are. We edit conversations, hold back, and close off because we fear rejection. The stakes are high, and we suffer in silence to avoid abandonment. Imagine being truly yourself, fearlessly and unapologetically. You know who you are and are open to future growth, free to pursue your joy. Though every day isn't perfect, you feel in control and ready for anything. This future is closer than it seems, and I want to help you get there!

Scott Fischer

Mostly male identified adults 20's and up. People who are looking to dive deeply into their habitual thoughts in order to understand themselves more fully and therefore show up more fully and authentically in the world. Are you unsure of how to grow out of patterns of stagnancy with your partner, parents, friends, siblings or children? This can feel so impossible and permanent and yet I've found that lending space to these issues can be incredibly useful and transformative

This isn’t surface-level therapy. If you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and start making real change, you’re in the right place. You don’t need to be an artist — just willing to explore. Art taps into the parts of your brain where insight, healing, and momentum live. Clients often find clarity, emotional relief, and self-trust faster by going deeper — creatively, safely, and with support.

Jonny Pack

I work with adults to help resolve traumatic events. I also work with children and families. In child therapy, I work with them individually as well as including family sessions as part of the process. I enjoy helping people of all walks of life find purpose and meaning in their experiences.

Monroe Spivey

We might be a good fit for working together if you're: An empath, wanderer, seeker, an artist, adventurer, existentialist -- one walking the road less traveled. People I've been of support to include: Those seeking to heal attachment wounds as they watch them arise in relationship; Digital nomads & adventurers needing virtual support; People navigating mid-life crisis or spiritual emergency; Those seeking to liberate themselves from the chains of trauma, consciously crafting a new future!

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.

Breese Annable

Are you exhausted from the relentless cycle of anxiety, shame, and guilt? Tired of obsessing over food and your body? Unsure what "healthy" even looks like anymore? It doesn’t have to stay this way. Imagine having more energy because your mind isn’t caught up in endless rumination and comparisons. What if your body felt like an ally instead of something to battle? What if you could meet yourself with acceptance and compassion? Imagine eating with freedom, ease, and genuine satisfaction.

Holly Henry

I work with individuals and couples. I support folks who are recovering from trauma (including relational, institutional, spiritual and religious trauma), repairing attachment wounds, navigating relationships, and experiencing anxiety, depression, and grief. Therapy will look different for everyone. My goal in our work together is to centralize your individual goals, stay guided by your values, empower your agency, and collaborate in defining what the therapeutic process is for you.

Kristin Mignogna

Asking for help and letting someone in can be difficult and even intimidating. You may be looking for someone who can help you reach your mental health goals while also meeting you where you are in your life & mental health journey. I aim to create a space of comfort, safety, & trust in which clients can heal, progress, & develop self-compassion. I work with adults of all ages, across various cultures, ethnicities, religions, romantic/sexual relationship styles, and sexual & gender identities.

Tori Essex

Feeling overwhelmed, like you can’t slow down, or maybe ‘stuck’? You’re not alone. Finding the right therapeutic support for you is a great next step. I’m here to help you to reconnect with yourself, & rediscover your unique ways of moving through the world. I utilize trauma-informed practices (actually!), somatic awareness, mindfulness, and creative expression to create a collaborative space where you feel seen, respected, and empowered to grow.

Carlyle Stewart

You advocate for others. Who advocates for you? Equality, racial justice, the environment, peacemaking -- if you are working for any of these and you want more peace and understanding for yourself, then I want to help. I want to help you have peace with yourself and harmony and influence with others in your life, including family, friends, lovers, difficult comrades, and even those who might seem like adversaries.

Tricia Osterberger

I am here to help people struggling with navigating a world that feels like it's not built for them. Whether it's working through gender/sexuality issues, trauma, or figuring out how to be in the world without drugs and alcohol, I work with folks to strengthen their own inner wisdom in order to walk through the world whole and confident with a sense of belonging.

Sarah J. Thompson

When it comes to clientele, I enjoy working with, and most drawn to, those who are at a crossroads in life and are wanting to make a change. I best serve clients and couples who are looking for a trauma-informed, sex positive and affirming therapist who is open to all orientations and identities. I am currently licensed in Colorado, North Carolina and South Carolina!

Lela Saffle

Do you have a heaviness that won't lift? No matter what you do, you can't get it (life, work, relationships, your faith, fill in the blank!) right and you're lost and frustrated. Anxious and depressed. You can't get things to budge even a little and mostly it just hurts. I get it - you're stuck and you can't find your way out. That's where I come in. I am here to help you find your path to peace, find your footing and move towards the life you want, the person you want to be.

Lauren Green

I will work with clients through most issues. However, a client might be an especially good fit for me if they are navigating religious trauma, sexual trauma, LGBTQ+ issues, polyamory/non-monogamy, life transitions, or mood disorders.

Anna Dittenhauser

You deserve someone who sees YOU, empathizes with your experiences, and works collaboratively to help you overcome your emotional burdens. I specialize in working with the “roadblocks” to wellness, typically resulting from experiences of traumatic stress. Those "stuck" emotions, thoughts, feelings, sensations are engrained in our system, prompting maladaptive responses that interfere with our day-to-day experiences and overall quality of life.

Ken O’Hearn

Ideal client is the one who thinks there is no hope and that they cannot rise above their trauma. I appreciate the challenge because it makes their victory that much sweeter. To watch a client have a breakthrough is rewarding to the say the least. Watching the entire family heal is one of the best things that could happen and to see relationships mend is truly something I cannot express in words.
