Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Lisa Andresen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Getting sick of what's bothering you? Are your thoughts feeling tough to control? Been challenging to unwind, enjoy yourself, or get a good night's sleep? Feeling emotionally lonely, frustrated with family, or disappointed with your friends?
You may be successful professionally and still experience dips in your self-esteem, mood, and energy. Imposter syndrome goes hand in hand with perfectionism, procrastination, and productivity. The irony is you may be working harder than most people around you, and yet feel worse about yourself than they do.
You don't have to keep living like this. Therapy can help you understand how your mind works and optimize accordingly. For example, you can catch self-defeating negative thoughts and reframe them to be more helpful for you through CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy).
You have the right to feel better too.

Luke R. Allen
Psychologist, PhD
I operate from an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) approach. A core idea in ACT is that trying too hard to get rid of or control our emotions tends to backfire. Instead of trying to get rid of unwanted thoughts and feelings, I want to help you learn to respond differently to the unwanted thoughts and feelings so that you can keep your focus on living a fulfilling life based on what’s important to you. We will work together to set meaningful goals to address your concerns–whether they relate to life transitions, depression, anxiety, body image, grief/loss, job or academic stress, or gender and sexuality.

Judith Nitchie
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT36770
Chronic illness and loss can be overwhelming. It's not only adjustment to physical changes and abilities, but the emotional challenges can seem insurmountable. I have been there!
You don't have to do this by yourself.
My passion and my work are to help you find your way back to a sense of value and engagement with your life regardless of your challenges.

Quinn Knox
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, Trauma-Informed
Therapy has not only changed but also saved my life. I have always been interested in psychology due to being an adoptee and growing up in a blended family of various cultures and ethnicities. My struggles with addiction and the unpredictable ebbs and flows of being in the entertainment industry was the tipping point that drove me to do some major introspection and ultimately paved the way for me to become a therapist. Seeking personal therapy helped me work through childhood and sexual trauma, depression, anxiety, impulsive behaviors, and feelings of low self-worth and my goal is support others who struggle with similar issues.
For a long time, I was desperate to work on myself so I could be “good enough” to find the right partner. However, I realized that I needed to become the person of my dreams, rather than relying on another person to complete me. My hope for my clients is to help you love yourself, and get connected with supportive communities and personal interests.
