Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Chris Arger
Psychologist, PhD
I take a compassionate non-judgmental approach to therapy, focusing on personalization and helping you find a sense of vitality in your life. When tailoring therapy to your individual needs, I begin by learning about your unique story and understanding your circumstances—emotional, physical, and relational factors. I might use a combination of approaches, depending on your preferences and goals. This integrative approach may draw from various schools of thought—cognitive behavioral, experiential, mindfulness, etc.

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.

Matthew Brace
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Wouldn’t it be helpful if the communication in your relationship created closeness rather than distance? You care deeply about your partner but are feeling stuck on how to change. We are often trying to figure out how to improve our relationships as we go, and certainly get frustrated when attempts fall short. This frustration can lead to wondering how your relationship got to a point where feeling disconnected is common. There are reasons for these issues, and we will uncover them and implement solutions throughout our sessions together.

Existential Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW, MBA, CH
My clients typically experience some level of dissatisfaction in their lives that may manifest as anxiety, depression, anger, despair, shame, or frustration. These feelings are indicators of something deeper at work that needs attending in an environment that is safe and caring, with dignity and respect, and with competence. I look forward to hearing from you and supporting you in working through your concerns.

Amy Guido
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Being in relationship with others can uncover areas of strength as well as struggle. If you grew up in a family that didn't do much self reflection, perspective taking, emotion coaching or repair making, you may feel at a bit of a loss with how to navigate relationship struggles in helpful ways.
Perhaps you've vented to friends and family to reduce the tension of the latest disagreement. For most of us though, that doesn't get us the perspective and skills necessary to get unstuck or moving forward more productively. I help people through targeted feedback and support to gain greater relational satisfaction and results. Even if your partner or child won't attend, sometimes the power of one can make a huge difference.
Perhaps today is a good day to take a risk and reach out to see if the change you seek is more attainable than you think. I bring a wholistic, curious, light-hearted, real and down to earth approach that takes into account your unique needs and goals.
If you're ready to try something new and would like support please reach out for help. While I don't accept insurance, I do have current openings. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Samantha Kingma
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Overthinking, overanalyzing, ruminating, future-tripping, or analysis paralysis—whatever you call it, it can really keep you stuck. If you've been lying awake at night thinking through all the things you said today (or last year), if you've made 8 different to-do lists for the same task, or if you're always running late because it's difficult to organize your thoughts, let's chat. Anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, and burnout can significantly impact the way your brain handles the stress of day-to-day life. But there is hope – you don’t have to stay stuck. I'd love to talk to you about how you can begin to feel like yourself again. 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.
