Kathleen Cramer, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., PSYPACT member
My approach to therapy is eclectic and tailored to each patient’s individual needs with a strong emphasis on techniques from Cognitive Behavior Therapy. Therapy is conducted with patients struggling with various diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder, physical limitations, etc. However, you do not need to have a “problem” or “disorder” to benefit from individual therapy. For example, psychologists can help people make important decisions and learn how to manage their lives more productively. Just as you visit physicians for preventive care, you can meet with a psychologist to address issues before they become problematic. This proactive approach encourages the development of psychological health. People are in good psychological health when they make good decisions, manage stress well, communicate effectively, have healthy relationships, and take good care of themselves emotionally and physically.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I believe every human being has inherent value, yet so many of us carry deep shame from past experiences that tell us otherwise—messages like “I’m bad,” “I’m too much,” “I’m unlovable,” or “If I show myself, I’ll be rejected.” These beliefs can quietly shape how we see ourselves, our relationships, and what we think is possible. In therapy, I work to help uncover and soften these old burdens so they no longer hold you back. My style is warm, collaborative, and deeply respectful of the courage it takes to show up. Together, we’ll build a space where you can feel seen in your wholeness, reconnect with your own inner wisdom, and move toward a life that feels freer and more grounded.

Carolyne Mburu-Gerena
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC
My approach to mental health care is collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in the belief that each person’s story matters. I work with teens and adults who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, and life transitions. My goal is to create a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward meaningful change.
In our work together, I combine psychiatric medication management with brief therapeutic support. This allows us to address symptoms while also exploring practical strategies that improve daily functioning, resilience, and overall wellbeing. I believe mental health is influenced by many factors, including stress, sleep, lifestyle, and physical health. I take a whole-person approach when developing treatment plans.
Seeking help can be a big step, and my role is to walk alongside you in that process. Together, we focus on identifying what is getting in the way of the life you want to live and creating a path forward that feels realistic and sustainable.
My goal is not only to help reduce symptoms but to support you in building a life that feels balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with your values.

Dr. Janelle Louis
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, ND, PMHNP-BC
Are you or your child struggling with anxiety, mood swings, depression, or lingering effects of past trauma—even though you’ve tried traditional treatment and it just hasn’t been enough? I'm Dr. Janelle Louis, and I use a unique combination of holistic interventions, medication management, and psychotherapy to help children and adults with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, or a history of traumatic experiences find lasting emotional wellness. As both a licensed naturopathic doctor (Vermont) and a psychiatric nurse practitioner (Arizona, Washington state), I bring a unique, integrative perspective to psychiatric and medical healthcare. My background includes experience supporting individuals with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, hormonal mental health disorders, autoimmune and metabolic conditions that affect mental health, and trauma-related concerns. With a foundation in holistic, root-cause medicine and hands-on experience in emergency and inpatient behavioral health settings, I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric and medical care that respects my patients’ values, while addressing the full complexity of their needs. I blend evidence-based therapy—including CBT and trauma-informed approaches—with thoughtful medication management and holistic interventions to help children, teens, and adults live their healthiest and best lives.

Jasmin Corral
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
"Someone is going through worse" or "I am usually there for everyone else, I can handle this on my own" are just some of the statements made by clients that I have seen in session. Too often do we invalidate and undermine what we are going through in life. Sometimes this is learned and sometimes this is a belief we have come to know based on our experiences. It is my job to help clients identify the "why's" "how's" and beliefs that we hold so deeply that may ultimately be holding us back from the freedom we desperately want in life, from stable relationships, a calm nervous system or simply to reach our goals without traumatic experiences getting in the way. If this resonates with you, book an appointment with me and let's figure it out together!

Lupe Macias-Hidalgo
Counselor/Therapist, License Associate Counselor, (LAC)
As a bilingual therapist, I am committed to creating a safe, affirming space where clients can explore their identities, heal from past experiences, and reconnect with their sense of worth. I believe healing begins in spaces where we feel seen, heard, and validated. My work is grounded in trauma‑informed care, cultural humility, and a deep respect for each person’s lived story. I support clients in navigating identity development, family dynamics, neurodivergence, and gender‑affirming journeys with compassion and steadiness. My intention is to meet clients exactly where they are and walk alongside them as they build clarity, confidence, and emotional resilience.
