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.

Michaela Decker
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT
If you are here, it’s probably because something’s just not right - you're feeling anxious, depressed or having problems with relationships, school, or work. If you are feeling stuck or disconnected from your relationship with others or yourself, you are in the right place to begin healing.
I provide support, accountability, and specific tools to navigate difficult situations. I am passionate about helping teens and adults manage difficult emotions, process relationship stressors, and overcome trauma. I have current availability for in person or online therapy and would love to chat with you to see if working together feels like it could be a good fit.

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.

Patricia Fahmy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
You understand why you struggle in relationships, yet the same patterns keep showing up. You may overthink, seek reassurance, struggle with trust, avoid vulnerability, shut down during conflict, or feel caught between wanting closeness and fearing it. Often, these patterns are rooted in trauma, attachment wounds, and earlier relationship experiences that continue to shape how you connect with others. I help individuals and couples heal these underlying patterns, strengthen emotional regulation, and build healthier, more secure relationships through a holistic approach that integrates EMDR, somatic therapy, attachment work, and mindfulness.

Colin Pickles
Psychologist, PsyD
I specialize in the treatment of relationship concerns, communication issues, anxiety, and depression, and the LGBTQ+ community. My goal is not just to help you feel better, but to better understand how your history and internal narratives guide your feelings and behavior. In doing so, we can find ways to adjust these narratives and can wind down sessions with applied idea to practice so that you leave with a sense of direction and confidence.

Camille Larsen
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LAC
Making the decision to start, or re-start, therapy is a big step towards treating yourself with care and respect. If you're ready to invest in yourself, I can bring a wealth of internal resources to help you. I engage in the therapy process and actively guide you in sessions to help advance every opportunity for change that we encounter. Together, we'll keep your goals close as we work to shift the internal blocks that keep you from what you want most.
In addition to being a Licensed Professional Counselor, I am also a Licensed Addiction Counselor, having treated addiction for over a decade in residential, group, and private, individual settings. My work is discrete and non-shaming. If you need completing DUI therapy requirements, contact me about the program I use that satisfies most state's requirements.
