Helen Star, MFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT, SEP
My approach to therapy is primarily somatic and mindfulness based in nature, meaning we focus on the way your body feels when you get stressed or have unintended responses. I am interested in helping you to learn how to soothe those bodily reactions whether they are rooted deep in the past from traumas long ago or from current life challenges or from specific traumatic incidences. I support each individual in a manner that is unique to our relationship, be it using cognitive behavioral therapy, somatic therapy, expressive arts or utilizing transpersonal images and symbols.

Peggy Barrett
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, OTR/L
The best gifts you can give, are deeper relationships with yourself and others. When depression, anxiety, trauma or grief interfere with your life, your relationships may suffer internally and externally. If your life seems chaotic or lacks meaning it can be daunting to deal with these on your own. Together we can deal with these challenges. The courage to ask for help and enter into a therapeutic relationship is a powerful first step. It empowers you to discover your essence and begin to find meaning and purpose in your life. It takes courage to ask for help. These are challenging times with this pandemic. I want to create a safe haven for you to express your desires and needs.
I have worked over 30 years in health care with adults who are physically and mentally challenged. I have facilitated groups using SoulCollage® and journaling to help people connect with deeper parts of themselves. My professional and life experiences have allowed me to understand and nurture those gifts that lie deep within each of us. It is these gifts which define your essence and provide meaning to your life.

Kim Gengler
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Do you often feel “unworthy,” “not good enough” or like “there’s something wrong with me?” Are you stuck in self defeat? If this sounds familiar, I’m here to help. I support people who want to live bigger and brighter, but have struggled with self-esteem, sexual assault/abuse, PTSD, and body-image issues. By showing you how to bring compassion to these issues, and the overwhelm they cause, I can help you learn to love yourself and others for a more satisfying life.
