Together, we can work towards the ideal life you envision for yourself. Our histories of trauma, suicidal thoughts, OCD, eating disorders, or other do not have to be the blueprint for how you move forward. Together we will identify what you would like to be set free from and what the best options are for you.

It is my greatest honor to build genuine connections with clients while witnessing them grow right out of therapy! I’m a bit of an odd duck - energetic, sincere and known to enjoy a good laugh in session. To amplify the impacts of traditional therapy methods (primarily CBT), I enjoy helping clients blend their unique talents, interests and spirituality into our work together. The types of spiritual beliefs/practices I'm most familiar with include Mysticism, Nonduality and Christianity. Going through or been through a spiritual (re)awakening? I've got you!! I am also passionate about supporting clients' creativity to reach goals more efficiently and increase overall long-term wellbeing. *Side note: I do not offer testing for ADHD, autism, or bipolar disorders.

Let's be honest... Motherhood is incredible, but it's also overwhelming. Somewhere between the school drop-offs, endless to-do lists, work deadlines, laundry piles, mental checklists, and trying to remember the last time you drank your coffee while it was still hot, it's easy to lose yourself. Maybe you've been telling yourself, "I should be able to handle this." Maybe you feel guilty for needing a break. Maybe you're anxious all the time, snapping at the people you love most, or lying awake at night replaying every conversation and worrying about tomorrow. If any of that sounds familiar, you're in the right place. I'm Cassidy, a therapist who works with millennial moms who are tired of living in survival mode. Our generation is doing something really hard. We're trying to parent differently than we were raised. We're breaking cycles, healing old wounds, managing careers, showing up for our families, and somehow still feeling like we're never doing enough. That's exhausting. I specialize in helping women navigate anxiety, burnout, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the invisible mental load that so often comes with motherhood. I also have specialized training in addiction and recovery, which means I understand the complex ways substance use can impact individuals, marriages, and families. Whether you're healing from growing up around addiction, supporting a loved one in recovery, questioning your own relationship with alcohol, or simply trying to break unhealthy family patterns, you don't have to face it alone.

I believe that every person possesses the inner strength and resources needed to find happiness and healing. As a transgender woman, I understand both the internal and external forces that can stir self-doubt, amplify fear, and lead to deep feelings of loneliness and uncertainty.

Science consistently shows that those who seek support often find meaningful relief and lasting change. I bring to my practice a mindfulness-based approach grounded in compassion, presence, and affirmation. My work is especially focused on serving the LGBTQAI+ community, though I warmly welcome anyone seeking an empathic, nonjudgmental partner in their journey toward a more fulfilling life.

My academic and clinical experiences have always been deeply interconnected, and both continue to inform my commitment to human dignity, resilience, and transformation.

Hi, I’m Emy Carlson.

I spent over 20 years in providing parent education in the various school settings.

Life can become complicated when the strategies that once worked stop working. Whether you're navigating a recent ADHD or AuDHD diagnosis, struggling with burnout, anxiety, depression, or major life changes, it can feel like you're trying to solve a puzzle without all the pieces. As someone who was diagnosed later in life, I understand both the relief and the disruption that can come from finally having an explanation for lifelong challenges. That experience has shaped my approach to therapy and deepened my appreciation for the resilience people develop while trying to navigate a world that wasn't designed with their needs in mind. My work is grounded in the belief that every person has a unique nervous system, unique strengths, and unique challenges. Rather than treating a label, I focus on understanding you as a whole person. I draw from established therapy approaches, neuroscience, and our growing understanding of the connection between the brain and body. I also believe that therapy doesn't have to feel cold or clinical. Humor, relatable analogies, and practical tools are often part of our conversations. I work primarily with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or exhausted from constantly trying to keep up. Many are navigating neurodivergence, life transitions, relationship challenges, or the loss of skills that can accompany chronic stress and burnout. I also provide an affirming space for clients in kink, polyamorous, and other consensual nontraditional relationships. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, reduce overwhelm, build sustainable strategies, and create a life that feels more authentic and manageable. You don't need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We can work through it together, one step at a time.

Hello! I'm Shante, and I believe everyone experiences seasons in life when they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about their next steps. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change. I take a person-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, meeting you where you are while helping you build on your strengths, develop practical coping skills, and move toward the life you want. I enjoy working with adults from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship and family challenges, self-esteem concerns, and stress.

I provide individual therapy and am dedicated to working with young children, women who experience domestic/intimate partner violence, and adults, as well as individuals who experience mental health and substance use issues. Therapy is one of the first and most significant steps a person can take to start making positive changes in their life. I work with my clients to provide a safe and open space to explore current challenges and their impact on daily life. I value the importance of a therapeutic relationship and focus on building a personable rapport with my clients to establish trust and acceptance. I utilize various therapeutic modalities, including a holistic and culturally responsive approach, strength-based and client-centered methods, solution-focused therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). These modalities allow me to customize my approach to meet each client’s unique needs and goals. I am deeply committed to serving individuals from diverse populations. I understand that change is hard, scary, and can sometimes create other challenges in life. I provide patient and understanding support to help you work through those challenges and progress toward becoming your best self.

Hi! I’m Janie, an LICSW who is fluent in both English and Hmong. With over eight years of clinical experience across community-based practice, crisis intervention, and outpatient clinical settings, I bring both depth and range to the work I do with clients. My work is especially meaningful with immigrant and refugee populations, where I draw on my cultural background, language access, and clinical training to meet clients where they truly are. My experience spans some of the most complex and high-stakes corners of clinical practice, which means I don’t shy away from hard things. Whether you’re navigating trauma, life transitions, family dynamics, or the particular weight of carrying two cultures at once, I offer a space that is grounded, thoughtful, and deeply human. At the same time, the best description of me is, I am a chameleon. I adapt myself as a clinician to your needs, in order to truly meet you where you are at. Therapy with me is a safe space for you to explore and dive into the stress that is affecting you, and my goal is to help create the mold you need for the goals you have. I believe that healing is a journey towards serenity — not perfection, not a fixed endpoint or destination, but a more intentional, peaceful relationship with your own life. If you are ready to start your healing journey, I am willing to help be your navigator.
