Ashley Higgins
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I am offering evidence-based online therapy for individuals in recovery from eating disorders, disordered eating, body dysmorphia, or body image challenges. I work with individuals in all stages of their recovery process- from those first exploring whether they might have an eating disorder to those who feel established in their recovery. I'm a licensed psychologist with over 10 years of experience. In addition to my niche of working patients with eating disorders, I have expertise in the treatment of PTSD/trauma, anxiety, and depression. I work with teens and adults. Since eating disorders tend to affect the whole family, I also work with spouses, partners and family members. Whether you've been in therapy before, or are taking the very first step towards recovery, I would love to hear from you! If you are unsure about therapy or whether we are the right fit, I'd be happy to schedule a free, 15-minute phone consultation.

John P Rogers
Marriage and Family Therapist, AAMFT Approved Supervisor
Providing online mental health therapy that is person-centered and solution-focused means creating a safe, empathetic virtual space where clients feel genuinely heard, valued, and understood. Grounded in the principles of Person-Centered Therapy, the therapist prioritizes unconditional positive regard, authenticity, and deep listening, empowering clients to explore their experiences at their own pace. At the same time, drawing from Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, sessions emphasize strengths, existing resources, and practical steps toward meaningful change. Through collaborative goal-setting and focused conversations about what is already working, online therapy becomes both supportive and forward-moving, helping clients build resilience and confidence in their ability to create positive outcomes.

Shareece Cannonier
Psychologist, PsyD
Are you feeling overwhelmed and emotional on the inside? You work hard to create the life you want, but you feel like it might fall apart at any moment. Do others view you as the strong friend or family member who saves the day, but there is rarely anyone who consistently shows up for you? You wonder if you’re a people pleaser, too hard on yourself, and why others don’t respect your boundaries. Is there past trauma that could be affecting your current relationships that you need to process? Unmanaged anxiety, depression, or unhealed trauma can leave you feeling dissatisfied with life.

Dr Todd Giardina
Psychologist, PhD, Counseling Psychology
COVID showed us that telepsychology is feasible and effective! However, I do not accept new patients (especially in other counties or states) if the clinical need exceeds my comfort level (e.g., suicidal ideation, severe depression, etc).

Dr. Olivia Blandford
Psychologist, Ph.D.
The COVID crisis struck near the end of my formal training, which afforded me the opportunity to extensively train in the delivery of quality therapy using virtual technologies. I am proud to have built a practice from the ground up in which I am equally comfortable and effective in person and on video, and I have worked with clients from every corner of the country. Whether you are down the street or hundreds of miles away, trust that you will feel the same warmth, connection, and attention from me over video as you would face-to-face.

Carrie Marchant LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I have worked primarily with youth and their families for well over 20 years, helping them learn emotion control, effective communication skills, and conflict resolution, and how to deal with other problematic issues as a criminologist. Families oftentimes find themselves needing more help than ever when dealing with youth who are in their turbulent teenage years. My specialty has been with youth of all ages, but especially teens, and their families. My real goal as a therapist is to help bring peace and hope to families who have experienced trauma and feel hopeless.
My interest in becoming a therapist was peaked because I had a tremendously positive experience with teachers, counselors, and others in the people-helping industry who made a vast difference in my life as an adolescent. I also had an incredibly therapeutic experience that impacted who I am today. I understand it takes courage to open your wounds and share your trauma with a stranger. I am a therapist with whom you will feel safe and comfortable because I am empathetic, compassionate, warm, and nonjudgmental.
