Welcome, I'm Teri. I understand that life has its ups and downs, and I am here to support you in your current season of life transitions and challenges.

Peggy Barrett
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, OTR/L
The best gifts you can give, are deeper relationships with yourself and others. When depression, anxiety, trauma or grief interfere with your life, your relationships may suffer internally and externally. If your life seems chaotic or lacks meaning it can be daunting to deal with these on your own. Together we can deal with these challenges. The courage to ask for help and enter into a therapeutic relationship is a powerful first step. It empowers you to discover your essence and begin to find meaning and purpose in your life. It takes courage to ask for help. These are challenging times with this pandemic. I want to create a safe haven for you to express your desires and needs.
I have worked over 30 years in health care with adults who are physically and mentally challenged. I have facilitated groups using SoulCollage® and journaling to help people connect with deeper parts of themselves. My professional and life experiences have allowed me to understand and nurture those gifts that lie deep within each of us. It is these gifts which define your essence and provide meaning to your life.

Molly Schmidt
Therapist
I am passionate about helping people step more into their true essence. I help adults navigate the mountains and valleys of life by exploring what brings them into a state of aliveness. We explore past traumas and limiting beliefs by inviting all the inner ‘parts’ to come forward and be heard. Through exploring one’s mental, emotional, and spiritual world, we work to bring greater awareness to what is holding them back from living their most authentic and fulfilling life.
I lead with compassion, authenticity, and curiosity in session. My approach weaves together these healing modalities to effectively address the mind, body, and soul. Healing is complex and non-linear, which is why I bring patience, acceptance and curiosity to sessions as we traverse these landscapes together. I believe we are always moving towards greater wholeness and we all already hold the wisdom within that is needed for change. Sometimes we just need the presence of a compassionate witness to undertake the journey.
