Nathan Ely, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MDiv, LMFT
I first got my start in ministry working as a worship leader and musician, and later in the private and public schools as a teacher. These experiences opened my eyes to the need for people of all ages to find healing through difficult experiences. My therapy career began in the private practice setting and then I worked at a clinic as a child and family therapist for several years before starting my own practice. My specialization and training is in working with couples, kids and families and individuals. Currently, I'm an EMDR certified therapist which is one of the best evidence based trauma recovery models for those wanting to move through painful experiences and find healing from trauma. My goal is to walk with you on the healing journey and help you understand how to have a healthier relationship with yourself and others.

Thanks for taking time to find care for yourself. You deserve to have wellness and care and to have a therapist who wants to see you thrive. Most of my clients come to me seeking help with stress, anxiety, and the various stages of motherhood. I love and have a wealth of experience working with individuals and families and building relationships.

Christopher Schamber
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
My discipline is focused around understanding human behavior and how we come to be who we are. Our experiences feed and deplete our soul, then inform how we respond to ourselves and others. Those events get seared into our brain and set the stage for what we do next. All of our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected, feeding into one another.
I often work with creative and ambitious people living with sadness or anxiety. Thinking big and taking on complex projects is the life blood and identity for many creative people. While others might look on from the outside and comment on how exciting it looks, these endeavors often lend themselves to problems like imposter syndrome, fear of failure, and existential questions.
But you are not your productivity. Through my collaborative approach, we will use therapy to explore your ideas, thoughts, and emotions. Let’s work together to find the you that you want to be, and figure out how to lead a purposeful and fulfilled life in this world.

SHANNON KLOSAK
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LAADC-CA, M-RAS, NCPM, DV VICTIM ADVOCATE
Hello, I'm Shannon.
In addition to being a Mental Health Provider, I am also a Nationally Certified Professional Mediator (NCPM).
Being a Nationally Certified Professional Mediator, has helped me a great deal as a mental health provider.
I am able to break down the layers of a situation or conflict with the goal of a positive outcome for everyone involved.
Four things I want you to know before you begin therapy with me:
1. I want treatment to work just as much as you do......
2. I am not judging you, and need to hear all of your truth(s) in order to best support you. You can't heal what you won't reveal........
3. I will not fight you for your healing....
What that means is: I will not work harder than you do. However, I will be right there beside you as we navigate your Mental Health journey together.....
4. If you don't connect with me, that's okay. Don't be afraid to try someone new, and keep trying until you find the right fit.....
I look forward to working with you!
