Sarah Koerner
Psychologist, PsyD
I am a psychologist who has been working with clients since 2007. We all have times in life where we feel stuck and the way we've always done things isn't working for us anymore. Sometimes those stuck points look like feeling irritated, numb, scared, sad, or not able to turn off our thoughts. I create a supportive space to explore what’s working, and what's not working, in my clients' lives. Sessions with me feel like a real conversation with clinical info and suggestions peppered in. I believe humor and joy are often useful to help shift perspective. My goal is for clients to learn how to live in the present so that they can engage more fully in their lives.

Tara McGrath
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
My clients are typically LGBTQIA+ professionals in their 30s and 40s who are struggling with some aspects of relationships or dating, and with their own self-worth, often because of a conservative, religious upbringing. I help people learn to manage anxiety and improve their relationships with others, and we go beyond just scratching the surface. Some of my clients are in the process of coming out for the first time. Many are experiencing the aftermath of religious harm or religious trauma. Many are trans folks in the process of their transition.
