Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
In searching for a therapist, you are taking the first step in what could be the most important journey of your life. It is definitely possible to make important, lasting improvements in your life and levels of happiness, satisfaction, and success. Therapy is often an effective way to attain these goals. With almost 40 years of experience working as a counselor and then a psychologist, I am well-qualified to help you identify what is standing in the way of increased life satisfaction, and help you effectively work towards your goals. People often get stuck in old patterns that make them unhappy, want to change them, but don't know how. I work together with my clients to understand how old patterns in thought, feeling, and behavior got established, and then explore how best to change those patterns. I enjoy doing longer term, deeper work with clients, to create significant, meaningful, and lasting change. I often employ a holistic approach, exploring personal history, thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationship history and issues, as well as issues including medical history, self-care habits, and experiences of spirituality. I view the therapy relationship as a partnership, respecting the pace and timing that the client requires.

Jo Anna Sena
Marriage and Family Therapist, LAC
Everyone needs care and support. I believe treatment is more successful when there is an openness and a willingness to work together and collaborate. You do not have to know where to begin but if we work together we can help you reach deeper levels of understanding and healing. Whether it is struggling with the stresses of life or life transitions I want you to feel supported and empowered to be bold in living your best life.
I find effective practices that include focusing on the whole person, being present with you and helping you connect to your mind, body and emotions. Though I can assist you in a variety of ways, I find methods such as Gestalt and mindfulness based to be very useful in helping you better connect to yourself and make sense of what you are experiencing.
Life is full of challenges and part of what makes life beautiful is our ability to see beyond the challenges and find the skills to make the human experience worthwhile. I would love to connect with you. I honor the sacred space you invite me into and I hope to build a collaborative partnership with you in a way that you feel the most supported.

Suzanne Sanders
Counselor/Therapist, LAC
I work to approach therapy based on being collaborative and established in openness, trust, honesty and humor. I believe that our work has roots in the relationship and we build together and should build upon your strengths and uniqueness. I find it a privilege for me to be invited to work with my clients as they go through transitions and challenges. I am very passionate about providing a safe, compassionate and non-judgmental space where you can feel supported and understood. My aim is to help you feel empowered, live authentically and freely, thrive in your relationships with yourself and others, and experience healing and change.
I have experience in working with adults and teens struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and loss. Each client receives a unique approach specific to their situation and needs. My therapeutic approach is to integrate a variety of modalities to help you connect with your healthiest self, I utilize evidence-based, trauma-informed, approaches with clients.
Healing can be uncomfortable and challenging, and it is my hope to co-create a space where you can begin to create meaningful and lasting change. Healing hearts, transforming minds, finding balance.
