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.

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?

Ema Grant
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS LPC
So, you're looking to start therapy? You've probably held it all together for a long time, and finally reached a breaking point. Maybe you're struggling to perform at work, your relationships are really tense, friendships feel empty and shallow, or you're not able to enjoy the things you used to. It’s time to deal with that. You don't have to be miserable, and you don't have to keep hitting dead-ends trying to get what you want. Therapy can help you figure out what's not working, and learn what actually does work. You can have fulfilling relationships and a sense of meaning and purpose, you just have to be willing to show up.

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.

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.

Kelsi McMartin
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
My clients often say.. "you nailed it!" when I offer my sense of things. Maybe its my 20 plus years in the field, maybe its pattern recognition, or maybe its intuition... hard to say. I have a way of getting to the heart of things with my clients. In these days of so much outside noise, it can be hard to tune in to what's really important, what's really needed. I help my clients connect with this and with the unlived parts of themselves.

Julia Poole
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C, ADHD-CCSP,
I’m Julia, a therapist who specializes in helping women who feel like they’re always trying to catch up. I often work with exhausted parents, burned out professionals (and fellow therapists!) who manage a lot for other people but have a hard time finding time for themselves.
Sure, maybe you’re getting through the day, but it takes more effort than anyone realizes and usually leaves you absolutely exhausted. Your mind is full of things to remember, decisions to make, and people who need you. I can help you uncover what's going on and together we can create strategies and systems that actually make life easier. Sometimes that means finding practical ways to handle daily life and sometimes it means looking at the impossible expectations and standards you've been setting for yourself. The great part is, you don’t need all the answers to start therapy. Recognizing that you no longer want to feel like you're barely keeping your head above water is enough. We will figure out all the other stuff together.
To get started, visit my website to schedule a free 15-min phone consultation. I'm happy to answer any questions you have about therapy and if it feels like a good fit, we can schedule an appointment. I look forward to connecting with you!
