Sarah J Thompson
Counselor/Therapist, MEd, LPC
Have you ever seen the image of a client laying on the couch while the therapist asks in a quiet and serious tone: tell me how that makes you feel...I can assure you that is not me! Although we will dive into your feelings and emotions, I do not fit the caricature of a therapist.
I am in the business of assisting to heal relationships - with yourself or loved ones - from the inside out. Together we will lay out the "puzzle pieces" of your life and look at the entire picture together. One by one, I will help you put the entire puzzle together.

Mike Garrison
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC
I wasn't always a therapist - I have worked in the Fortune 500 and have also owned my own small business. In fact, I have nearly three decades of practical experience and hard-earned insights that I bring to every conversation. You’ll experience a fresh perspective through real-world conversation, appropriate challenging, positivity, and gentle humor.

Megan Ramos
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPC
Hi, I'm so glad to meet you. I am dedicated to helping individuals come home to their nature. There is so much to turn towards in ourselves, especially in the wild times we find ourselves in now. Often, it's this turning towards ourselves, and a letting go that gives way to our body's natural wisdom to show us the way to our wholeness. I look forward to meeting you in the process.

Heidi Lindeman Self Grounded Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, M.Div., M.A., LPC
You're a spiritual human looking to end the loneliness that has been growing since the pandemic began. In your loneliness there's no one there to help you with the intense feelings you experience. You often worry about the future. You question if you will ever be able to have a happy life. You have been doing everything "right" and yet you feel lost, lonely and sad. When your feelings are intense all you want is a friend to listen to you, validate you, tell you it's all gonna be okay. When you've shared your authentic feelings in the past it's a crap shoot if someone will be able to hear you. You've often felt like you are too much and you shouldn't feel so many things or there's something wrong with you for having so many feelings. You're aware that logically feelings are important and you're not wrong for having them. But the feeling that you are bad and not worthy are hard to shake. The feelings you've had all your life have intensified with COVID and there's less support now. You feel alone in everything going on. You have a deep desire to authentically belong but just aren't sure how you can maintain relationships if you are your true self. In therapy we work together to gain a deep understanding of your emotions and where they came from. Then we notice what's yours and what's someone else's. Through deeply understanding yourself you begin to feel cared for, supported, loved and feel deeper that you do matter. Together we work to help you feel confident and grounded in yourself so you can more easily navigate relationships. I'm going to let you in on a little secret, when you turn inward and care for the lonely part of yourself you will find your external relationship become better (and if they don't you have more clarity on what you can or will not accept in a relationship and can set purposeful and clear boundaries without necessarily having to cut whole people out of your life). Together we can help you create an authentic life of belonging. Take your first step on your journey now by going to my website and clicking the "schedule a free 20 min consultation" button to have a chat with me. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

New Foundation Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Dealing with trauma and past hurts, struggling with work, relationships, or addiction, managing depression & anxiety or to better understand one's gender identity or sexuality - it isn't easy to address any of these things. We see therapy as a safe, judgment-free, shame-free, and confidential space, where you are free to vent, confide, cry, discuss, imagine, find strength, and be empowered. Most importantly, therapy is a place for hope to come alive, to learn new coping skills, to achieve personal growth, and to discover you are strong, valuable, and greater than any struggle you might have. Transformation is possible!
We realize meeting with a clinician can be anxiety-provoking and can even feel stressful. It does not need to be. We understand how finances, relationships, children, family, & work can create anxiety, worries, stress and even anger. You don't need to live being "weighed down" by these things - therapy can help lessen your burden! You are worth it!

Susan Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
I work with adults from every walk of life and in diverse circumstances. What nearly all have in common is that they tell me that things don’t feel manageable anymore. Life has gotten out of hand, and feelings like anxiety, self-doubt, depression, and disappointment seem to be taking over – if they haven’t already. Some might think they are “going crazy!” Others feel selfish because they crave self-care and a break from never being enough.
My job (and privilege) is to come alongside you to provide support, feedback, and help you better understand things and make plans to improve things. Sometimes, I will validate feelings that you’ve discounted or point out challenges you’ve grown so accustomed to that you brush them aside, even though they are part of what trips you up. Together, we’ll gain perspectives and insights about how to make things better.
In session, we will review the week for clues about what to focus on. We will talk about how things went and how they could have turned out better. I’ll ask many questions, listen a lot, and work with you to identify options for improving life. You’ll tear up sometimes, but you’ll be surprised how often we chuckle.

Iam Jophiel, MPS, LCSW, SEP, CCTP-II
Therapist, @ Rubie Red Slippers
As a Liberation Therapist, helping you in achieving the freedom to be fully accepting of yourSelf is my passion. I combine cognitive, somatic & energy-based services, to provide a balanced therapeutic approach to assisting you with mental, emotional and physical challenges that can present as anxiety, fear-based thinking, over-analyzing, self-criticalness, depression, codependency, low self-esteem and other trauma-based symptoms.
At times, the process of slowing down can feel scary, but as you learn to identify beliefs & narratives that no longer serve you; compassionately recondition your mind; and tenderly care for your body you will notice a change. You can know your authentic Self and experience embodied healing.
The healing journey is a soul driven (mind, body and spirit) heart-centered process that continually invites you to know yourself as magical, allowing, resilient, fertile, integrative, safe and loved.
