Tandra Froehlich Childress
Marriage and Family Therapist, ATR, LMFT
Every person has the potential and inner knowledge to overcome hardship. It is my passion to help others create connections that facilitate that ability to heal. I provide a safe holding space where people can explore what is blocking them from enjoying their lives to the fullest. Life is going to present challenges, there is no getting around that. What we do now and how we move forward is what matters. I welcome you to come explore your negative beliefs and strengthen new positive adaptive beliefs that allow you to thrive in your daily life.

Vanessa Wolter Holistic Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I specialize in holistically treating social anxiety, low self esteem, depression, general anxiety, grief, and existential issues such as finding purpose and meaning. My mission is to help clients transform pain into an opportunity for self-discovery, healing and empowerment, to ultimately reclaim their voice, purpose, and self-worth. I compassionately welcome individuals who feel silenced, disconnected from loved ones, overwhelmed, lost, or that they "don't belong," as well as people who have experienced bullying, emotional or physical abuse, or struggle with negative body image and/or a harsh inner critic.

Lisa Andresen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Getting sick of what's bothering you? Are your thoughts feeling tough to control? Been challenging to unwind, enjoy yourself, or get a good night's sleep? Feeling emotionally lonely, frustrated with family, or disappointed with your friends?
You may be successful professionally and still experience dips in your self-esteem, mood, and energy. Imposter syndrome goes hand in hand with perfectionism, procrastination, and productivity. The irony is you may be working harder than most people around you, and yet feel worse about yourself than they do.
You don't have to keep living like this. Therapy can help you understand how your mind works and optimize accordingly. For example, you can catch self-defeating negative thoughts and reframe them to be more helpful for you through CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy).
You have the right to feel better too.

Molly Schmidt
Therapist
I am passionate about helping people step more into their true essence. I help adults navigate the mountains and valleys of life by exploring what brings them into a state of aliveness. We explore past traumas and limiting beliefs by inviting all the inner ‘parts’ to come forward and be heard. Through exploring one’s mental, emotional, and spiritual world, we work to bring greater awareness to what is holding them back from living their most authentic and fulfilling life.
I lead with compassion, authenticity, and curiosity in session. My approach weaves together these healing modalities to effectively address the mind, body, and soul. Healing is complex and non-linear, which is why I bring patience, acceptance and curiosity to sessions as we traverse these landscapes together. I believe we are always moving towards greater wholeness and we all already hold the wisdom within that is needed for change. Sometimes we just need the presence of a compassionate witness to undertake the journey.

Maureen Backman
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, MA, MS
I’m a therapist because I believe in the healing strength of being with: Being with our feelings, our present moment experience, and each other. So often, we walk through life feeling alone and disconnected. Therapy is a place for you to unfold and expand into a life that feels more authentic and spacious, a place for you to experience connection and transformation.
Clients who work with me often describe me as warm, thoughtful, and creative. In addition to what you might think of when hear the words “talk therapy,” I also incorporate art, movement, and mindfulness into our sessions. I view my clients and myself as co-collaborators in the therapy process, and work with you to create a space that feels supportive and safe. I take a non-pathologizing approach, honoring the strategies that got you to this moment, and supporting you as you unfold into your authentic self.

Vanessa Ffrench
Pre-Licensed Professional, Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (103346), Certified Yoga & Meditation Instructor
I am a somatic psychotherapist and approach therapy holistically, focusing on the mind-body-spirit. My background and training is in early childhood development, mindfulness and meditation practices, and somatic psychology. I believe in processing and healing past wounds, while also working with the body and what is coming up in the present moment using body-oriented techniques and mindfulness. I also use ancient yogic practices and approach healing considering your subtle body energy system if you are interested (e.g. chakra health, breathing techniques, movement, etc).

Patty Murray
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
First and foremost, I have a deep appreciation for peoples ability to feel both profound sadness/anger, happiness/love and everywhere in-between. I believe that the more we can understand and give non-judgmental attention to our pain or the parts of ourselves that suffer, the more opportunity there is to heal -- grow a deepened connection to self, others, and have an overall sense of "okayness" or even aliveness.

I specialize in helping trauma survivors, especially survivors of childhood and/or adult sexual trauma, reclaim the life they were meant to live. If you're struggling with symptoms related to trauma, such as being easily triggered, anxiety or depression, dissociation (feeling spaced out, numb, unable to ground, or connect to your body's sensations) trouble sleeping, nightmares, or flashbacks and more, you're in the right place (for an extensive list of trauma symptoms check out my post https://www.healingsexualtrauma.com/post/what-are-trauma-symptoms).
