Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Are you in need of a supportive and empathetic listener, who can provide feedback and
guidance and will tailor treatment to fit your individual needs? I work with individuals,
couples, and families. I see clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, or low self-
esteem and many other issues. I also have experience working with people who have
various addiction problems and their families. Some of the issues that people that come to
see me are struggling with are relationship problems, communication difficulties,
loneliness, life transitions, and work-life balance.
Do you want to feel happier and more confident because you have been struggling with
negative emotions and low self-worth?
Do you want to cope with your loss or trauma because you have been feeling
overwhelmed and stuck in the past?
Do you want to communicate better and resolve conflicts with others in your life?
Are you struggling with marriage problems and not sure what to do to make your marriage
last?
We will first complete an assessment and then we will work collaboratively to produce a
treatment plan based on your specific individual needs. I see individuals, couples, and
families. I have day and evening appointment hours.
I use various approaches to treatment including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT),
Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive
Therapy (MBCT), Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
(ACT), and Narrative therapy. For couples therapy, I apply principles from the Gottman
method, emotionally focused couples therapy and narrative therapy.
I look forward to working with you to reduce distress and increase well-being, to improve
relationships and social skills, and to find meaning and purpose in your life. I am
passionate about all matters pertaining to mental and emotional health and well-being. I
enjoy helping my clients to be able to identify their own strengths and to start believing in
their capabilities to achieve their goals and realize their dreams. I feel that, often, the
necessary ingredient for this to happen is simply having someone believe in you and to
walk side-by-side in the journey.
I provide teletherapy services using secure video teleconferencing for the comfort,
convenience, added privacy and safety of my clients.

If you're motivated for change but need support finding your path, I'm here.

Dan Walinsky
Psychologist, PhD
Online therapy is such a wonderful opportunity to do deep and powerful therapeutic work in a way that is both convenient and secure. I want all my clients, online and in person, to feel the same warmth and compassion as we work through situations and experiences. In much of the same way that we do in person, my online work is based around building a supportive therapeutic relationship. In therapy, potential for healing and growth occurs through through the relationship that we build together. I really enjoy working with clients who are trying to figure out how to manage or explore the difficult feelings – sometimes anxiety and depression - that can emerge during self-exploration, identity development, life changes, working on relationship issues among monogamous and poly/ENM/CNM people, career or work shifts, LGBTQIA+ clients, and so much more. Work with me often involves exploring patterns, looking at the imprints of families of origin, and addressing ways in which those long past experiences come up in the present.

With technology, you can experience all the benefits of in-person therapy on secure, easy-to-use, high-quality internet platforms. Online sessions allow you to do therapy in the comfort of your own home or allow you flexibility in environments that best suit you. It can be especially helpful to those who find it challenging to travel to an office for appointments due to location, work, children at home, lifestyle, or other practical or personal reasons.
While there are multiple ways that counseling can take place online, I work primarily with face-to-face video conferencing via Zoom and, on occasion, telephone sessions.
I always hold my sessions in a quiet and confidential space, giving you the same confidentiality & professionalism that you experience within an office setting.
Most, if not all, of my clients, find virtual sessions to be highly effective and convenient. They allow for the comfort and safety of therapy in your own space, and no travel time is often less vulnerable than needing to go to an office. Research of multiple studies finds that online therapy is equally effective as in-person for most cases. That being said I always advocate for what works best for each individual and it is wonderful to have choices to find your best path whichever that may be.
If you are not super-computer savvy or are anxious about how to use technology, I will work to make it as seamless as possible. I have chosen a platform that is easy to use and I am happy to assist you with any questions or concerns.
A common concern I hear from clients regarding online therapy is finding a quiet and/or confidential space when you’re homebound with children and/or family members or roommates. Be sure and scope this out in advance so you are guaranteed quiet and privacy during your session.
Since it is so convenient many times people forget to allow themselves a few minutes to "switch hats" and allow themselves a few breaths and get settled into being present and in the head/body space for your session.
Headphones or Airpods can often make audio clearer or ensure more privacy but are not necessary.
Given that video sessions can be conducted on your smartphone, clients have found it helpful to go to a park, sit in their car in the driveway, and/or walk around your neighborhood. Get creative and support yourself. Find a private space that allows you to receive support no matter where you are.
You are welcome to have pets join your space if you find that comforting, and supporting, and you may see my fellow feline/canine therapists join in one of our sessions on my end.

Nefertiti Nowell
Therapist, Dr.
Seeking help is a powerful step to improving your quality of life. Talking to someone about whatever your concerns are is something that almost anyone can benefit from, but many people are afraid to reach out. If you are considering therapy or coaching, I applaud you, and I really do want to help you find what you need to feel POWERFUL and help you develop the tools to have peace in your life.
I enjoy working with diverse clients, and have treated patients on the inpatient as well as outpatient basis. I began providing therapy in 1996, and have worked full time in several local hospitals before deciding to work full time in outpatient private practice. Though I work with many populations, I enjoy helping individuals with issues of trauma as well as working with couples. I work with all age ranges and have helped clients with a range of diagnosis. I use a variety of techniques, including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. I am also a Certified Hypnotist and a trained mediator.
