Rachel Costella
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Those I work with are typically able to "get by" in their day-to-day but are lacking a sense of completeness. I approach my work through an Existential-Humanistic lens, which focuses on bringing light to your inner experience with the intention of improving your sense of agency, deepening your relationships, and living a life that is more aligned with what you're desiring.

Elena Duong
Psychologist, Psy.D.
You might be here because you’ve been called “too sensitive,” feel easily overwhelmed, or aren’t sure where you fit—especially as someone who is queer and/or asexual. You’re seeking connection with people who “get it” and a therapist who doesn’t need you to explain your culture, sensitivity, or identity just to be understood.
As a Highly Sensitive therapist, I enjoy working with asexual, gray‑ace, demisexual, questioning folks, and sensitive introverts. My style is warm, collaborative, and validating. In our work, we’ll create a gentler space, where your boundaries are honored, your quirks are welcomed, and you’re treated as enough exactly as you are.

Suzanna Freerksen
Psychiatrist, MD
As a psychiatrist I am comfortable with prescribing medications as well as therapy. My psychiatry practice is focused on you and how you can best achieve your goals, whether that is medication, psychotherapy, lifestyle changes, or a combination of all three. Let's work together to help you get 'unstuck'.
In session we will talk about thoughts and feelings in addition to medication. I am experienced in CBT and group therapy, as well as the medical treatment of nightmares and bipolar disorder. I am also trained in EMDR and DBT, as well as ketamine assisted psychotherapy (KAP). I am knowledgeable about medicines and illness with breastfeeding, and pregnancy.

Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Where within you does conflict persist?
Is it in the body, a swirling energy the surges without explanation, keeping you spinning in thought circles and struggling to sleep or relax (ANXIETY)?
Is it in the heart, the whistling emptiness of grief, or the stabbing pain of ruptured relationships, and lost connections (DEPRESSION)?
Is it in the head, thoughts that won’t stop reciting their well worn verses of what-ifs and should-haves (OCD/ADHD)?
Is it in the spirit, an anguish of being, the unknown outnumbering the known to a paralyzing degree, questions of WHY swirling intangible as mist, existential questions, the ground beneath our feet uneven and unsteady (BELIEF/MEANING)?
Is it in all of the above, and in your dreams as well, impacting ability to connect with others, to be still with yourself, to be intimate, to give and receive love, to accept what was, embrace what will be, and surrender to the now (TRAUMA)?
