Kelli Hall
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I offer virtual therapy for individuals who find themselves over-accommodating, over-functioning, or struggling to set boundaries in relationships. If you’ve ever felt responsible for other people’s feelings, guilty saying “no,” or stuck in patterns that leave you feeling drained—this work is for you.
My practice is fully private pay (effective July 1, 2026), and I partner with Thrizer to support clients who would like to utilize out-of-network (OON) benefits.
All sessions are conducted via a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform. I offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation to ensure we’re a good fit and that virtual therapy meets your needs before getting started.

Chris Scarberry
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Research demonstrates that virtual therapy is just as effective as in-person. I have had a great deal of success with seeing clients virtually and it adds a level of convenience to the process as well. I am always happy to meet with someone virtually whether it is exclusively virtual or a mixture of virtual and in-person. I am typically able to change from one format to the other if someone decides the day of that they want to switch from in-person to virtual or vice versa.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
I became a psychoanalytical therapist because I believe in the transformative power of self-awareness and understanding. The profound impact of exploring the depths of the unconscious mind and uncovering the roots of one's thoughts and behaviors can lead to lasting change and emotional well-being. I chose psychoanalysis as my therapeutic approach because it provides a unique framework for delving into the complexities of the human psyche, offering individuals a profound opportunity for self-discovery and healing.
Psychoanalysis, with its emphasis on the unconscious mind, allows me to work with patients in a way that goes beyond surface-level symptoms, addressing the underlying causes of emotional struggles. I am passionate about providing a space where individuals can explore their thoughts, feelings, and past experiences in a deep and meaningful way, fostering insight and facilitating personal growth.

Brooke Maffia Wang
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, MA
My role is to listen with you as you discern your own internal wisdom and path. My lifelong work of spiritual formation and soul care is informed by Internal Family Systems and supports a contemplative evocative compassionate listening stance. I practice as a "Spiritual Director," however that label can be misleading and better described as a Spiritual Companion who walks with you along your journey.

Sarah Eisenhauer Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHC, LCPC, LPC, AADC
I'm an experienced therapist who is very passionate about working with women who are ready for something deeper than coping strategies — women who are willing to examine themselves honestly and are committed to meaningful, lasting change.
This work often focuses on life transitions, anxiety, identity evolution (self discovery and uncovering true self), enduring relationship patterns and trauma from invalidating relationships (complex or developmental trauma), and the deeper dynamics that shape fulfillment. Often, this manifests as persistent anxiety, restlessness, irritability, loneliness, or a subtle but steady feeling that something is missing- that life should feel more meaningful than it does.
I offer a warm, authentic, collaborative, and attuned space where you don’t have to hold it all together. In our work, we slow down to explore early relational templates, unconscious beliefs, and protective strategies that once served you but may now limit intimacy and growth.
In addition to talk therapy, I also offer ketamine assisted therapy Integration as appropriate, which may be a useful adjunct to deep, transformational work.
