Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
I specialize in working with clients from the ages of 14 to adulthood, who are inquisitive, self-aware, and deeply motivated to understand themselves better, improve their relationships, move into a place of self-respect/love, and develop adaptive ways of coping, communicating, and problem-solving. I have worked for many years with children, teens, adults, and families dealing with trauma and change and searching for authenticity, often in a world that values the superficial. Therapy is a process of seeking meaning, managing change, letting go of what no longer makes sense for who we are and what we want, healing, and growing.
I am most suited to help clients dealing with loss, prior childhood trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, identity (in all its manifestations), divorce, self-esteem, grief, and emotional regulation. The goals are different for everyone, yet I believe that we all want to feel more balanced, more joyful, and more healthfully connected with others.
As a psychologist with 25 years of post-doctoral experience, I’ve been exposed to various modalities, settings, and clients dealing with differing issues, life changes, and developmental expectations. I’ve also found that my professional practice has evolved as I’ve matured, raised children, and survived losses and challenges. We are in this together.

Dr. Sheena Sikorski
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
Do you constantly feel like you're never good enough? Do you feel like you compare yourself to other people and think they're so much better looking or smarter than you? Do you feel like you have to wear a mask and pretend you're someone you're not just to get people to like you, not leave you, or reject you? If you said 'yes' to any or all of these questions, you've come to the right place. These are common signs of perfectionism and people-pleasing, my specialty! If you're ready to roll up your sleeves and put in the work to find and use your voice to share your opinions and needs, feel safe being vulnerable to deepen your emotional connections, and learn how to compassionately hold yourself accountable when you make a mistake, this CAN be your reality with the scientifically based tools you'll learn working with me as your guide. To learn more about working together, reach out by sending me a message through my profile on here. I'm excited to hear from you!

Courtney Chaney
Counselor/Therapist, MS, NCC, APC
In this big world that we live in, we often find ourselves surrounded by people, but walking entirely alone. They don’t understand us and when we stop to think about it, we realize that we don’t really understand ourselves. The pain, fear, and other struggles become who you think you are, losing the true sense of the person you were meant to be. You’ve tried changing your personality or appearance to find the love and acceptance you crave, but it’s only left you feeling empty. Life keeps passing by, time keeps ticking and the pain becomes too much to handle and the feeling of being “stuck” has settled in.
Through our work together, you will find empowerment to face your struggles, strength to have ultimate freedom over your life and learn practical tools to apply to everyday life. My therapeutic approach is based on building a strong, healthy relationship with you and walking side by side through your journey of self-acceptance and healing.
You don’t have to do this alone. I can help you experience self-acceptance, worth beyond measure and ultimate freedom from self-judgment. I know seeking counseling can be hard, but help is within your reach. Together, we can walk through this journey to make meaningful and positive changes in your life.
