Sue De Santo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I offer online therapy for adults in many seasons of life, from young adults in their 20s to older adults in their 80s, who want to improve their relationship with themselves and with others. Through telehealth, I support clients navigating a wide range of issues and major life transitions—such as new marriages, becoming a parent or grandparent, adjusting to an empty nest, retirement, or moving into community living—so they feel less alone, more grounded, and better equipped to meet these changes with clarity and care.

Dr. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
Adolescents and adults navigating their faith and sexuality (LGBTQ+ affirming), anxiety, depression, interpersonal challenges, grief, trauma, pregnancy/postpartum, family of origin concerns, identity development, and general life stressors and transitions would particular enjoy working with me. Multicultural couples and families navigating culture clashes, estrangement, faith transitions, and sexual and intergenerational trauma, especially for BIPOC populations, are treatment specialties. Psychedelic psychotherapy preparation and integration are also available with referrals to clinics and others who can provide medication administration. Psychological assessment to clarify diagnoses such as autism, bipolar disorder, ADHD, etc., Independent Medical Evaluations (IME), worker’s compensation, preemployment for first responders, and fitness-for-duty-evaluations are also offered. Approaching patients with cultural humility is a core value at Malak Psychology honoring who you are, your ancestors, and the indigenous land we occupy.
Grounded in decolonizing mental health, liberation, and feminist psychologies, my practice employs multimodal approaches, including dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, cognitive processing therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, somatic experiencing, emotionally focused couples therapy, Gottman, family systems, psychoanalysis, and more.
Empowering you to forge your unique path, I serve as a guide with an emphasis on agency and self-determination. Collaborative wellness plans allow participants to decide the depth of exploration into subjects. I ensure evidence-based, collaborative, and individualized care by incorporating peer-reviewed research and indigenous knowledge systems.

XaHara A. MeGod
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, R-DMT, CPT
A sacred space to heal the parts of you that words alone may not fully reach. Many people carry stress, trauma, and emotional pain not only in the mind, but within the nervous system and body itself. These experiences can quietly shape relationships, self-worth, emotional reactions, and the ability to feel safe, connected, or fully present in life. I offer compassionate, trauma-informed support for individuals and couples (including LGBTQIA+ and polyamorous partners) seeking deeper healing and meaningful change.
As a somatic therapist, I integrate body-based therapy, mindfulness, and counseling into a holistic healing approach that serves your nervous system to help you process and reconnect your mind, body, and spirit. You will feel more grounded and empowered.
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when you’ve been carrying things on your own for a long time. Our work together will move at a pace that feels supportive, collaborative, and safe while honoring both your lived experience and your body’s natural wisdom for healing.
