Claire Karakey
Therapist, LPC, MC
I'm not good enough, I can't stand this, I can't trust anyone, I should have known better! Do you ever notice yourself living with similar shame? Truth is, most of us do and as we get older, it is hard to understand that we are still operating in our relationships, jobs and daily lives with these messages. Our goal in therapy is to provide an efficient treatment plan to help clear out some of these false and dysfunctional messages and help you start seeing you're worth.
We work with people from different walks of life and we're committed to providing a compassionate and creative approach to therapy. We enjoy working with children and adults individually as well as within group, family and couple settings. My specialities lie in treating anxiety (performance anxiety, OCD, PTSD) as well as depression, life transitions, chronic pain/illness, grief/loss, and more. We have extensive training in shame and trauma and understand how these impact people's ability to function in their day-to-day lives.
We offer a strength based, client-centered approach to therapy. Every person's story is special and deserves an individualized approach. In therapy our therapists utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Family Systems work.
It takes great courage to find hope. We believe in holding space for clients, hearing your stories and working together to help you live your best life. You are not alone in your journey. You will be met with enthusiasm, support, kindness and an open mind in every session.

Suzanne Sanders

I work to approach therapy based on being collaborative and established in openness, trust, honesty and humor. I believe that our work has roots in the relationship and we build together and should build upon your strengths and uniqueness. I find it a privilege for me to be invited to work with my clients as they go through transitions and challenges. I am very passionate about providing a safe, compassionate and non-judgmental space where you can feel supported and understood. My aim is to help you feel empowered, live authentically and freely, thrive in your relationships with yourself and others, and experience healing and change.
I have experience in working with adults and teens struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and loss. Each client receives a unique approach specific to their situation and needs. My therapeutic approach is to integrate a variety of modalities to help you connect with your healthiest self, I utilize evidence-based, trauma-informed, approaches with clients.

Samantha Kingma
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Feeling like you can never catch up, even though you never sit down? Lying awake at night thinking through all the things you said that day that were ‘awkward’ or ‘wrong’? Running late to everything even though you try your absolute best to be on time? Maybe something just feels off, but you can’t quite put your finger on what it is - maybe you even say to yourself “this shouldn’t be this big of a deal”. And yet something is still keeping you stuck. Anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, and burnout can significantly impact the way your brain handles the stresses of day-to-day life. But there is hope – you don’t have to stay stuck. It is possible to feel like yourself again, and I'd love to talk to you about how you can get there. I provide specialized support for individuals and couples dealing with anxiety, OCD, trauma, and relationship difficulties. I will work with you to find the patterns in your life that may be causing problems and then collaborate with you to find new options and restorative solutions. You don’t have to walk through this difficulty alone, and I’d be honored to support you as you move toward healing. Visit my website or fill out the contact form to schedule a free phone consultation, and we can chat about what you’re looking for and whether I might be the right fit for you.

Morgan Liptak
Marriage and Family Therapist, MAS-MFT, LAMFT
I am passionate about helping individuals and couples in the millennial and young adult age-range and who are navigating relational difficulties, life transitions, identity shifts, anxiety & depression. While my passion for mental health started long ago, I have slowly found myself drawn to this specific age group and the unique set of challenges they are facing. Having faced many of these challenges myself, I get what it’s like to walk in your shoes and hope to offer guidance and support in your journey towards healing.
I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I use Relationship (Re)Programming, an attachment-based approach, to provide couples counseling. I am also a Prepare/Enrich facilitator for premarital counseling.

Michael Klinkner
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Making changes can be very difficult. I believe that therapy is about finding the inner strengths inside of yourself that can allow you to become the person you want to be. Whether you are healing from wounds from your past or looking to write a new future, change is possible. No two people go through this process in the same way, everyone's journey is very unique.
I have been working with children, teens and adults with a variety of issues for over 20 years. I have in depth experience with anxiety, trauma and depression along with the ways that those issues can affect the members of their family. I have worked in residential treatment, behavioral health hospitals and outpatient settings.
In the beginning, starting to change can seem overwhelming and maybe even impossible. I use approaches that embrace the idea that everyone is different and everyone can just with the right approach to the problem.

Jeni Gutke
Licensed Professional Counselor, MC, LPC
Everyone needs a place for advocacy and validation of feelings to be able to untangle and articulate those things which are not working in our lives. In addition to advocacy, you will also receive a safe space to unburden and have support and encouragement to not only illuminate your gifts and talents, but also to help differentiate emotions which are no longer serving you and empower goals for future Fulfillment. That starts with self compassion and being in the present and allowing space to leave each session feeling lighter with coping skills that can reduce heightened emotions and help direct back to self energy. With a background in teaching both elementary and high school and working in nonprofit organizations , seeing the need we all have for advocacy and compassion has greatly influenced my belief in the human spirit and our ability to heal. Why not live the life we have imagined and make it the best it can be?
