Therapy Specialties

We provide compassionate, evidence-based support for women navigating the emotional and psychological impact of hormonal, reproductive, and life-stage changes. Women’s mental health is deeply interconnected with physical health, hormones, relationships, identity, stress, and life transitions, and our clinicians are passionate about supporting women through every phase of life.

We offer support for concerns related to PCOS, now more accurately referred to as PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome), PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder), menopause, fertility and reproductive stress, pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, and perinatal mental health. These experiences can contribute to anxiety, depression, irritability, emotional overwhelm, grief, burnout, body image concerns, trauma responses, relationship strain, and difficulties with self-esteem or identity.

PMOS/PCOS is a complex hormonal and metabolic condition that can impact mood, energy, self-image, sleep, fertility, and emotional regulation. Many women with PMOS experience anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and feelings of shame or frustration related to symptoms such as weight changes, acne, fatigue, fertility difficulties, or feeling misunderstood by medical providers. The newer terminology reflects a growing understanding that the condition affects far more than the ovaries alone.

PMDD is a severe hormone-related mood disorder that can cause intense emotional distress, mood swings, hopelessness, irritability, panic, and depressive symptoms during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. Menopause and perimenopause can bring significant emotional and cognitive changes, including anxiety, depression, sleep disruption, brain fog, irritability, and changes in identity or relationships.

We also provide support for pregnancy, postpartum, and perinatal concerns, including postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth trauma, intrusive thoughts, identity changes, grief, parenting stress, and the emotional adjustment to pregnancy and early parenthood. Our goal is to create a supportive, affirming space where women feel understood, empowered, and cared for during vulnerable and transformative periods of life.

Relationships can be one of the most meaningful parts of our lives, but they can also become a source of stress, loneliness, conflict, or disconnection. Our couples counseling services are designed to help partners better understand one another, improve communication, rebuild trust, and create healthier, more sustainable relationships.

We work with couples navigating a wide range of concerns, including communication difficulties, recurring conflict, emotional disconnection, infidelity recovery, betrayal trauma, divorce or separation planning, co-parenting challenges, parenting disagreements, intimacy concerns, issues with extended family or in-laws, life transitions, and the impact of mental health or neurodivergence on relationships. We welcome couples in all stages of their relationship, including dating, engaged, married, separated, blended families, and long-term partnerships.

We also offer specialized support for mixed-neurotype couples, including relationships where one or both partners are autistic, ADHD, or otherwise neurodivergent. Mixed-neurotype relationships often have unique strengths, including creativity, deep loyalty, honesty, passion, and different ways of thinking that can complement one another beautifully. However, they can also experience unique stressors related to communication differences, sensory needs, emotional processing, executive functioning, routines, conflict repair, or feeling misunderstood by one another.

Our clinicians provide affirming, specialized intervention informed by both professional expertise and lived understanding of neurodivergent relationships. We are passionate about helping couples move away from shame, blame, and chronic conflict toward greater empathy, collaboration, emotional safety, and connection. We proudly support queer couples and relationships of all structures and identities.

We provide affirming, neurodiversity-informed therapy for autistic, ADHD, and otherwise neurodivergent individuals seeking support in navigating life in a world that is often not built with their needs in mind. Many neurodivergent people spend years feeling misunderstood, “too much,” chronically overwhelmed, burned out, anxious, disconnected from themselves, or exhausted from trying to fit into neurotypical expectations. Our goal is to provide a space where you do not have to perform, mask, or explain yourself in order to be understood and supported.

Our clinicians understand the unique strengths and challenges that can come with neurodivergence, including sensory sensitivities, executive functioning difficulties, emotional regulation struggles, rejection sensitivity, social exhaustion, autistic burnout, identity exploration, masking, relationship challenges, and chronic feelings of shame or inadequacy. We also support clients navigating late diagnosis, grief related to missed support, workplace or school accommodations, trauma related to being misunderstood, and the process of learning how to live more authentically.

Many of our clinicians personally identify as neurodivergent themselves and bring both lived and professional experience into their work. We believe that authenticity, safety, humor, flexibility, and genuine human connection matter deeply in therapy. Our clinicians will bring their authentic selves into the therapy space in order to support your comfort in doing the same.

Whether you are hoping to better understand yourself, reduce burnout, improve executive functioning skills, process the impact of masking, build healthier relationships, unmask more safely, or simply exist in a space where you feel understood, we are here to support you with compassion and respect.

Parenting can be deeply meaningful, rewarding, and joyful, but it can also be exhausting, overwhelming, isolating, and emotionally complex. We provide compassionate therapeutic support for parents navigating the many challenges that can arise throughout parenthood, including stress, burnout, identity changes, emotional overwhelm, relationship strain, grief, anxiety, guilt, and difficulties balancing caregiving with personal needs and responsibilities.

We support parents through a wide range of concerns, including parenting stress, behavioral challenges, co-parenting difficulties, family conflict, emotional regulation, caregiver burnout, postpartum adjustment, supporting children with mental health needs, and navigating major family transitions. We also provide specialized support for parents of disabled, medically complex, neurodivergent, or high-support-needs children, recognizing the unique emotional, practical, relational, and systemic stressors that can accompany caregiving.

Many parents experience chronic stress related to advocacy, navigating school systems or medical systems, sensory overwhelm within the home, loss of personal identity, fears about their child’s future, or feelings of guilt, grief, resentment, or isolation that they may feel unable to talk about openly. Our clinicians provide a nonjudgmental and affirming space where parents can process difficult emotions honestly while receiving validation, practical support, and compassionate care.

Using a holistic and trauma-informed approach, we help parents strengthen self-care, improve emotional regulation, navigate relationship and family dynamics, and reconnect with their own needs and values while caring for others. Our goal is to help parents feel more supported, empowered, emotionally grounded, and less alone in the challenges they are carrying.

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) combines the therapeutic benefits of ketamine treatment with the support and guidance of psychotherapy to help clients process emotions, experiences, trauma, and patterns in a deeper and often more accessible way. KAP is designed to support not only symptom relief, but meaningful emotional insight, healing, and lasting personal growth.

Ketamine can help temporarily increase neuroplasticity and reduce the intensity of rigid thought patterns, emotional numbness, depression, trauma responses, or chronic hopelessness. During this process, many clients find themselves more emotionally open, reflective, connected, or able to approach difficult experiences from a different perspective. KAP helps clients safely explore and integrate these experiences with the support of a trained therapist before, during, and after ketamine sessions.

KAP may be helpful for individuals experiencing depression, PTSD and trauma-related concerns, anxiety, burnout, grief, chronic stress, emotional disconnection, existential distress, or difficulty accessing emotions in traditional therapy. Our clinicians approach this work with warmth, curiosity, compassion, and deep respect for the vulnerability involved in psychedelic-assisted treatment.

Therapy within KAP often includes preparation sessions, support during ketamine experiences when appropriate, and integration work afterward to help clients better understand and apply insights from treatment to their daily lives, relationships, and healing process. We believe integration and emotional safety are essential parts of meaningful psychedelic-assisted care

Religious trauma can have a profound and lasting impact on a person’s emotional well-being, identity, relationships, self-worth, and sense of safety in the world. Many individuals who have experienced harmful religious environments struggle with chronic shame, fear, anxiety, perfectionism, hypervigilance, guilt, difficulty trusting themselves, or feeling disconnected from their own needs, identity, or intuition. Others may experience grief, anger, confusion, or loneliness as they navigate changes in belief systems, loss of community, or the process of rebuilding life outside of high-control or spiritually harmful environments.

Our clinicians provide compassionate, affirming support for individuals healing from religious trauma and spiritual abuse. We understand that religious trauma can stem from many experiences, including purity culture, fear-based teachings, spiritual manipulation, rejection related to identity or sexuality, authoritarian control, suppression of emotional needs, or environments that discouraged autonomy, questioning, or authenticity. Even in situations where faith communities also provided love or belonging, harmful teachings and experiences can leave lasting emotional wounds that deserve care and validation.

Healing from religious trauma is often not simply about changing beliefs, but about rebuilding trust in yourself, processing grief and anger, developing emotional safety, reconnecting with your identity, and learning how to exist more authentically outside of fear and shame. Therapy can provide a supportive space to explore difficult experiences without judgment, pressure, or agenda.

Our clinicians are honored to support clients as they process religious trauma, deconstruct harmful beliefs, rebuild self-trust, and move toward healing in a way that feels authentic and empowering to them.

Living with chronic illness can be emotionally exhausting, isolating, and overwhelming. Many individuals coping with chronic pain, autoimmune disorders, POTS, EDS, kidney disease, chronic fatigue, gastrointestinal conditions, neurological symptoms, or other long-term health concerns experience not only physical suffering, but also significant emotional and psychological stress. Constantly feeling sick, navigating uncertainty about your body, managing symptoms that disrupt daily life, and trying to maintain relationships, work, and responsibilities while unwell can take a profound toll on mental health.

Many people living with chronic illness experience anxiety, depression, grief, burnout, hopelessness, irritability, trauma responses, identity changes, social isolation, or feelings of guilt and shame related to their limitations or symptoms. Chronic illness can impact nearly every part of life, including relationships, self-esteem, independence, finances, sleep, career goals, and the ability to participate fully in activities that once felt meaningful or easy.

We also recognize the painful reality that many chronically ill individuals have experienced dismissal, bias, minimization, or invalidation from medical providers, loved ones, workplaces, or systems of care. Being repeatedly told that symptoms are “just anxiety,” feeling unheard by providers, struggling to obtain diagnoses or accommodations, or feeling forced to constantly justify your illness can create deep emotional wounds and ongoing medical trauma. Many clients come to therapy carrying not only the burden of illness itself, but also the impact of not being believed or supported.

Our clinicians provide compassionate, affirming mental health support for individuals navigating chronic illness and disability. We strive to create a space where your experiences are taken seriously and where you can process the emotional impact of living in a body that may feel unpredictable, painful, or exhausted. Therapy can help support emotional regulation, grief processing, self-compassion, relationship challenges, identity shifts, coping skills, boundary setting, and rebuilding a sense of meaning and stability while living with chronic health concerns.

We are proud to provide queer-affirming, inclusive mental health care for LGBTQIA+ individuals, couples, and relationships of all identities and structures. Our clinicians are committed to creating a supportive and emotionally safe environment where clients can explore identity, relationships, self-expression, and mental health without fear of judgment, shame, or the need to educate their therapist about their lived experience.

We support individuals navigating questions related to sexuality, gender identity, gender expression, coming out, identity exploration, transition-related concerns, family or community rejection, religious trauma, relationship challenges, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, trauma, and the emotional impact of existing in systems that may not always feel affirming or safe. We recognize that queer and trans individuals often face unique stressors related to discrimination, minority stress, masking, safety concerns, and chronic invalidation, and we approach this work with compassion, humility, and respect.

Whether you are exploring your identity, seeking a therapist who will fully affirm and respect who you are, or looking for support within your relationships and community, we are honored to provide care that centers authenticity, dignity, and belonging.

Anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns can affect every part of life, including relationships, work, sleep, motivation, self-esteem, physical health, and the ability to feel present or connected to daily life. Whether symptoms have been present for years or have emerged more recently due to stress, trauma, burnout, grief, life transitions, or changes in health or relationships, our clinicians are here to provide compassionate and individualized support.

Many people experiencing anxiety describe feeling constantly overwhelmed, restless, exhausted, on edge, trapped in overthinking, or unable to fully relax. Others may struggle with panic attacks, racing thoughts, perfectionism, irritability, difficulty concentrating, social anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or chronic fear about the future. Depression and mood concerns can show up as hopelessness, emotional numbness, low motivation, burnout, disconnection, sadness, guilt, anger, difficulty enjoying life, changes in sleep or appetite, or feeling like you are simply trying to survive each day.

We support clients experiencing a wide range of concerns, including generalized anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, major depression, persistent depressive symptoms, mood instability, emotional dysregulation, adjustment difficulties, grief, and the emotional impact of trauma or life changes. Our clinicians understand that symptoms often develop for important reasons and are not signs of weakness or failure.

Therapy can help clients better understand themselves, process difficult emotions and experiences, improve coping skills, strengthen relationships and boundaries, reduce shame, increase emotional regulation, and begin reconnecting with a greater sense of stability, meaning, and hope. We strive to create a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel supported as whole people, not simply as diagnoses.

Major life transitions can be exciting, meaningful, disorienting, painful, or all of those things at once. Even positive changes can create stress, grief, uncertainty, identity shifts, and emotional overwhelm. Our clinicians provide compassionate support for individuals navigating the emotional impact of change and adjustment throughout all stages of life.

We support clients through a wide range of life transitions, including career changes, burnout, divorce or relationship changes, becoming a parent, children leaving home, moving, starting or leaving school, medical diagnoses, changes in identity or belief systems, grief and loss, retirement, caregiving responsibilities, friendship changes, and periods of uncertainty about the future or sense of self. Many individuals going through transitions experience anxiety, sadness, emotional exhaustion, fear, loneliness, loss of confidence, or feeling disconnected from the version of themselves they once knew.

Life transitions can challenge routines, relationships, priorities, and coping skills, especially when multiple stressors occur at once. Sometimes people feel pressure to “adjust better” or move on quickly, while internally struggling with grief, overwhelm, or confusion. Therapy can provide a supportive space to slow down, process emotions honestly, strengthen coping skills, reconnect with personal values, and navigate change with greater clarity and self-compassion.

Our clinicians strive to provide care that is collaborative, warm, and grounded in the understanding that periods of transition are often vulnerable and transformative parts of being human. Whether you are grieving what has changed, trying to figure out what comes next, or learning how to adapt to a new phase of life, we are here to support you.

While many individuals benefit from ongoing psychotherapy, others are seeking a focused, goal-oriented approach that facilitates meaningful change over a defined period of time. Short-Term Intensive Therapy is designed to provide an in-depth therapeutic experience over approximately 5–12 sessions, helping clients move beyond longstanding emotional barriers, reconnect with their core sense of Self, and develop greater clarity, flexibility, and direction in their lives. This service can be paired with your ongoing therapy, or can exist as a standalone healing opportunity.

Treatment is individualized and integrative, drawing primarily from Internal Family Systems (IFS) while incorporating experiential and evidence-informed interventions such as expressive arts, movement-based processing, depth hypnosis, mindfulness, and other therapeutic modalities as clinically indicated. Rather than focusing solely on symptom reduction, this approach emphasizes understanding and transforming the underlying emotional, cognitive, and relational patterns that contribute to psychological distress. Clients are supported in developing increased self-awareness, self-leadership, emotional integration, and lasting internal change.

This service is particularly well suited for individuals recovering from childhood abuse, complex developmental trauma, PTSD, chronic fears of burdening others, difficulties asserting needs or taking up interpersonal space, unresolved or anticipatory grief, identity development, major life transitions, and complex personal or professional decision-making. It may also be appropriate for individuals who feel emotionally "stuck" despite previous therapeutic work and are seeking a deeper, more experiential approach to healing.

Treatment is typically completed within 10 sessions. Insurance-based sessions are conducted in standard 55-minute appointments. Self-pay clients participate in extended sessions (up to 3 hours at a time), allowing additional time for experiential interventions, deeper therapeutic processing, and integration.
