Tessa Sinclair
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Hi there, I'm glad you're here. You're smart, high-achieving, and inspired, but struggle to get motivated and put your ideas into action. Your life checks the boxes, yet you have a hard time more often than you like to admit - especially in comparison with the suffering of others. You want your work to be fulfilling, not just a means to an end; and you're looking for satisfying, balanced relationships with coworkers, partners, family and friends.
You're not alone!

Erin Gienger
Marriage and Family Therapist, Pre-licensed AMFT
I provide a safe space for clients to process whatever emotions or responses they may be experiencing. I have over 3,500 hours of experience doing therapy with various types of clients. I recently graduated from an MFT program and have enjoyed interacting with a new set of clients. I am particularly interested in working with clients who have had trauma, abuse, or difficulty with life transitions. I make myself available to give clients the ability to process their lives in a new way. If you believe I could be a good fit for you as your therapist, please get in touch with me.

Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anxious, addicted, depressed people make decisions in life based on their feelings and they get worse, spiraling downward in emotional chaos and relational isolation. I help Marriages develop the emotional intelligence, relational intelligence, healthy communication, and constructive conflict resolution skills so the couple can rebuild intimacy and thrive!

Olajumoke Adeyemi
Therapist, Nurse Psychotherapist APRN PMHNP-BC
Therapy with me is a collaborative, down-to-earth, and supportive experience. I create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can be yourself—messy thoughts, complex feelings, and all.
In our sessions, you can expect:
A calm and grounded environment where you can speak freely and feel emotionally safe.
Thoughtful conversations that explore your concerns, patterns, relationships, and goals.
Gentle challenges to help you reflect and grow, while always honoring your pace.
Practical tools and insights—whether it's managing anxiety, improving relationships, or building confidence.
A flexible approach—some days we process deep emotions, other days we focus on coping strategies or medication support (if applicable).
We may laugh, sit in silence, cry, or celebrate small wins. Every session is tailored to where you are that day—because this is your space, and your healing.

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.

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.
