Samantha Kingma
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Have you noticed that you haven’t been feeling quite like yourself? Like something feels off, but you’re not exactly sure why? No matter how hard you work, you always feel behind and can't seem to ever catch up on your to-do list. Maybe you keep thinking that you "should" be doing better and you "shouldn't" be struggling this way. You want to be present, calm, and confident, but you aren’t sure how to get there. It is possible for you to feel like yourself again and I'd love to talk to you about how you can get there.
I help teens, adults, and couples who are feeling stuck and disconnected to find freedom and relief. I'll collaborate with you to notice the themes and patterns occurring in your life that might be causing problems and then work alongside you to find new options and solutions to address those patterns.
Whether you are experiencing anxiety, dealing with past trauma, relationship difficulties, or just think it might be helpful to talk to someone about how you are feeling, I’d love to talk with you about how I can help. Visit my website to schedule a free phone consultation, and we can chat about whether I might be the right therapist for you.

Ciera Coyan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I work with clients who have difficult relationships with their body. We work on unlearning the overwhelming message that their body needs to be or look a certain way in order to be acceptable. We unpack the onslaught of harmful body messages they've likely experienced in their life. We work towards body neutrality and a better appreciation for the joy and pleasure their body can experience, instead of what it looks like.

Josh Spell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
Body image does not only include how we perceive our body, but also how we feel, think and experience our body. I believe that learning to identify the systems that impress a certain belief about how one sees their body, building body trust and tolerance for emotions and learning to interrupt automatic beliefs about one's body can help bring someone closer to true embodiment and ease.

Shira Collings
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I believe that we are all victims of our culture's harmful messages about body size, shape and appearance. Rather than being taught to appreciate all our bodies do for us and trust our bodies' signals, so many of us have been taught to control our bodies and deprive our bodies of nourishment, joy, and rest. I am passionate about supporting people in unlearning these harmful messages and building a healthier, more compassionate relationship with their bodies.
