Dr. Vanessa Bell
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., Psy.D., LMFT
Navigating life’s complexities or relationship strain can often feel overwhelming. We all carry experiences from our past that shape how we relate to ourselves and others today. My goal in therapy is to help you gain deeper self-awareness, break free from self-defeating patterns, and build meaningful, supportive relationships. Together, we will create a safe, confidential environment to foster deep emotional healing and personal growth.

Roderic Burks - Integrative Mental Health
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, MS HSc, MA, LMHC, LPC
I believe therapy is a space for deep, meaningful change—not just symptom relief. My work is grounded in a parts-based practice, depth psychology, and a trauma-informed lens, helping clients explore the aspects of themselves shaped by past experiences, relationships, and unconscious patterns. I approach this process with curiosity, compassion, and respect for your unique story.
I specialize in working with trauma recovery, mood disorders, depression, anxiety, codependency, and relationship issues. I view these challenges not simply as problems to eliminate, but as signals pointing toward deeper patterns that deserve attention and care. Together, we create a space where all parts of you are welcome—especially those that have been overworked, hidden, or misunderstood.
My goal is to help you develop greater self-awareness, inner balance, and a more authentic relationship with yourself and others.

Eve Angela Fritsch
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A.
I have always been fascinated by the human mind and why people think, feel, and behave the way they do. I love helping people better understand themselves and make sense of their experiences.
I work with people struggling with anxiety, trauma, anxious attachment, identity concerns, relationship challenges, narcissistic abuse recovery, and borderline personality disorder. I also support family memebers and loved ones affected by BPD.
I believe therapy should be a place where you feel understood, challenged, and supported. My goal is to help you gain insight, ;earn practical skills, and make changes that improve your relationships, your confidence, and your overall life.

Erin Powers
Counselor/Therapist, APCC 9590
I believe that we all have the capacity to heal. I take a trauma-informed, body-based, and spiritually grounded approach to working with clients. I have experience working with clients (primarily women) from a variety of backgrounds, including those experiencing anxiety and co-occurring health issues impacting mental health. I enjoy incorporating mindfulness, expressive arts, and other holistic modalities into my sessions and will provide you with resources to utilize in your everyday life. As Carl Jung states, "I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become".

Psychoanalytic
Celeste Tomasulo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I offer trauma-informed virtual therapy intensives for adults who need more flexibility, depth, or support than traditional weekly therapy can provide. Intensives give us dedicated time to move beyond surface-level coping and work more deeply with trauma, emotional patterns, relationship wounds, or experiences that feel stuck. You’ll leave with greater understanding of your patterns, practical tools for regulation, and a clearer path forward.
Intensives are designed around your needs and capacity, with accommodations for chronic illness, fluctuating energy, sensory needs, and other factors that can make conventional therapy difficult. My approach integrates somatic, trauma-focused, and parts-based therapies, with the flexibility to take breaks, move, change positions, or adjust the pace as needed—all from the comfort of your own environment.
