Joy Serednesky

It can be hard to cope sometimes in this ever-changing world...Do you want more out of life? Do you want more than what a life coach or an accountability coach can offer? Your treatment should NOT feel like a fast-food drive thru. My specialty is working with neurodivergent clients with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, and/or clients that may process information or their emotions differently.

Whether you feel controlled by your past trauma, you’re struggling to find your place as a teen, or you’re trying to manage the pressures of mastering this whole successful adulting thing, I’m here for you. I’ve worked with clients at their very lowest in psychiatric hospital settings, in homes and communities, schools, and outpatient therapy settings. This wide array of experiences has really taught me so much about the complexities of the human condition in all of its messy and gritty glory.

Jessica "Jess" Jamison

Feeling disconnected? Not where you thought you would be at this point in your life, right? You might just be waking up in the morning, and have an “off” feeling. Or, maybe it’s the end of the day, and you don’t feel as accomplished as you usually do. Life is a series of events that we, as people, seek to be connected to. Sometimes, it just doesn’t click. So, what do you do? Where do you go from here? That's where I come in. Schedule a free consult with me, and we can figure out a plan for you!

Taylor Barragan

Are you looking to get to the root of it, and understand symptoms better? I know what it's like to have a lot of tools, but still be confused how to use them. I also know what it's like to feel like you don't have any tools to begin with. I promise you, thats not the case - you have innate tools that have helped you get here, today. I look forward to helping you put the pieces together and live a more resilient, satisfying life.

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.

Ben Hearn

I work best with clients who have a desire to learn about and explore their relationship with themselves, others, and the world around them to move towards a more integrated and holistic way of being.

I enjoy helping my clients to become more curious, resilient, insightful, and courageous.
