Sheryl Boyle
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A., LPC, CART, EMDR Certified Therapist, BSP Certified Therapist, BSP Consultant-in-Training, ICBCH Certified Professional Hypnotist, PPNE
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor who has worked therapeutically with clients in institutional and outpatient settings, and in private practice with individuals, couples, and families. My passion is to help people become empowered to embrace themselves and their strengths by helping release their distressing feelings and pain while simultaneously learning healthier coping skills to help you move towards improved day-to-day functioning. I now work exclusively in private practice and specialize in working with pre-adolescents, adolescents, and adults. There is nothing more sacred than watching a person blossom into who they are meant to be as they release the shackles of their disturbances and traumas. Just imagine how freeing it will be to feel happy, joyous, and free!

Ben Dickstein
Psychologist, PhD
I love helping my clients address issues with sleep, anxiety, mood, and past traumatic experiences. For me, helping others as a psychologist is a true passion. When appropriate, I use evidence-based therapy, which has clinical research supporting its effectiveness. I routinely offer couples and grief counseling. I've been told by my clients that I clearly take my job seriously and prepare well for sessions, always eager to bring them the relief that they're seeking in a thoughtful and targeted way. I don't stretch treatment out any longer than needed. As far as my unique characteristics as a therapist, I believe that humor plays an important role in treatment, and that therapists who are willing to be self-disclosing and genuine develop stronger, more meaningful connections with their clients. I see therapy as a very personal process -- far more so than other types of health visits -- and that forming a real relationship is a key component of mental health treatment. I find that one definite benefit of such a relationship is that I'm able to offer my clients truthful, direct feedback, as they always know that any challenging remarks are coming from a caring and compassionate place. Along these lines, I belief that it's a therapist's job to routinely encourage their clients to push beyond their comfort zones and make bold changes.

Brian Jones
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MEd, LMHC, LPC
Did you grow up in high-demand religion, such as a small fundamentalist church or an extremely conservative denomination? Has this affected your life in more ways than one, even if you're now an atheist adult? Maybe you still struggle to trust people, or feel like you fit in, or have strained family and romantic relationships.
I've been there, and I can help. Not all therapists understand what religious trauma is like, especially "lower-case 't' trauma" when you can't point to one single explanation for why church was harmful to you. A lot of religious trauma therapists are also Christian; this doesn't mean that they're bad at what they do, but you might feel the need to work with someone from a more agnostic or skeptical worldview.
