Psychoanalytic
Mishel Cowart
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA
I believe that life’s most difficult moments are often the catalysts for our greatest growth. As a practicing psychotherapist with 20 years of experience, my mission is to provide you with a safe, inclusive, and deeply collaborative space to explore the roots of your challenges and discover a more purposeful way of living.
My approach is holistic, focusing on the integration of your mind, body, and inner self. I understand that healing is not one-size-fits-all, so I draw from specialized modalities—including Jungian Psychology, Depth Psychology, and EMDR—to tailor our work to your unique goals. Whether we are utilizing dream work, creative arts, or exploring the neurobiology of your attachment patterns and relationships, my aim is the same: to help you release old, limiting patterns so you can cultivate a more meaningful life.
I have the privilege of working with individuals from all spiritual and religious backgrounds, as well as those who are defining their own personal paths. My role is to serve as a partner on your journey, offering specialized, guidance-oriented support to help you achieve deeper satisfaction in your career, your relationships, and your physical intimacy.
If you are ready to build a stronger sense of self and move toward a life of greater fulfillment, I invite you to contact me for a free 15-minute consultation. I look forward to connecting with you and exploring how we might work together.

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.

Psychoanalytic
Reid Kessler
Psychologist, PsyD
I’m a psychologist who works with adults, teens, and couples, and I aim to offer therapy that feels grounded, thoughtful, and genuinely human. My style is relational and psychodynamic, which means we pay attention not only to symptoms, but also to the deeper patterns underneath them—how you’ve learned to cope, how relationships have shaped you, and what might be keeping you stuck.
Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure why the same struggles keep repeating. Together, we’ll slow things down and make sense of what you’re going through, with curiosity and compassion. I try to create a space that feels safe and steady, but also honest and growth-oriented—where you can be fully yourself and gradually build more freedom in how you live and relate.
Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, or challenges at home or school, therapy can help you feel more clear, confident, and connected. I’d be honored to work with you.

Samantha Schaefer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like life hasn’t turned out the way you thought it would? Maybe you’re in the middle of a big transition—becoming a parent, navigating a breakup, adjusting to a new role, or simply realizing that what used to work…doesn’t anymore. Change can stir up anxiety, self-doubt, and even grief for the versions of ourselves we’ve outgrown. You might find yourself questioning who you are or what comes next. These moments can feel isolating, but they’re also an invitation to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and begin again—with support along the way.
