Regina Lazarovich
Psychologist, PhD
If you’re tired of fear, anxiety, and insecurity running your life, I can help you take charge! I can help with anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, OCD, ADHD, skin picking, hair pulling, binge eating, emotional eating, negative body image, and perfectionism.
I create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can be yourself. My style is attentive, compassionate, and encouraging. Together, we'll understand how fear and self-judgment are getting in the way of the life you want. I'll equip you with tools to change unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior. As a result of our work together, you'll cultivate more peace, confidence, and joy.
I’ve helped hundreds of clients over the past fifteen years. I'm skilled in several evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT), Comprehensive Behavioral Treatment (ComB), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC), Health at Every Size (HAES), and Intuitive Eating. I’ll tailor these approaches to your unique circumstances and needs. Together, we’ll set goals, and I will create a treatment plan to help you reach them. I'll help you take small steps to make positive changes in your life and support you every step of the way!
Meeting with a new therapist can feel scary and vulnerable. That's why I offer a free 20-minute consultation to help you get a sense of my approach and to ensure that I'm the right fit for you. Visit my website to learn more: www.CompassCBT.com

Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Where within you does conflict persist?
Is it in the body, a swirling energy the surges without explanation, keeping you spinning in thought circles and struggling to sleep or relax (ANXIETY)?
Is it in the heart, the whistling emptiness of grief, or the stabbing pain of ruptured relationships, and lost connections (DEPRESSION)?
Is it in the head, thoughts that won’t stop reciting their well worn verses of what-ifs and should-haves (OCD/ADHD)?
Is it in the spirit, an anguish of being, the unknown outnumbering the known to a paralyzing degree, questions of WHY swirling intangible as mist, existential questions, the ground beneath our feet uneven and unsteady (BELIEF/MEANING)?
Is it in all of the above, and in your dreams as well, impacting ability to connect with others, to be still with yourself, to be intimate, to give and receive love, to accept what was, embrace what will be, and surrender to the now (TRAUMA)?

Taylor Swing
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
In my practice, I work to support individuals struggling with anxiety, body image, disordered eating, relationships, feeling connected to themselves or others, and those feeling stuck in the same patterns to learn skills and feel secure in their lives. My style is warm, authentic, and collaborative with a bit of humor.
I believe we all have the ability to heal and feel secure in our lives and seeking a therapist you connect with is an important step on your path. Reach out to learn more about how I can help.

Patty Murray
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
First and foremost, I have a deep appreciation for peoples ability to feel both profound sadness/anger, happiness/love and everywhere in-between. I believe that the more we can understand and give non-judgmental attention to our pain or the parts of ourselves that suffer, the more opportunity there is to heal -- grow a deepened connection to self, others, and have an overall sense of "okayness" or even aliveness.
