Lisa Chester-Schyman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
What makes my practice unique is the presence, depth and care I bring to each session. I will meet you where you are and offer a compassionate space to explore the layers that exist beneath grief, loss, life transitions and trauma. My work is grounded in genuine connection and deep listening and I will offer a reflection of what I am hearing you say. This helps clients move toward healing and self-understanding at their own pace. If you are in need of someone to walk beside you I invite you to reach out. You're not alone.

Christina Shonkwiler
Hypnotherapist, MA, CHT
I work with therapists, coaches, artists, moms... people who feel like they're giving themselves away, depleted from always taking care of others: especially if this began in your own childhood family due to mental illness or trauma.
Together, we'll take a compassionate look at what brings a sense of ease and allows you to open up, allowing energy to flow towards your own stabilization and well-being.

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!

Empowered Wellbeing, Trauma/Complex Trauma (CPTSD), Dissociation and Addiction Recovery Care
Life Coach, view my credentials online at: www.recoveringfromwithin.com/credentialslongform
We started our practice supporting Adult Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse to recover from the effects of their abuse and complex grief, and continue to center that care. Our practice includes support for trauma, complex trauma, dissociation, associated and co-occurring health and chronic health needs, anxiety, depression, addiction, personality disorders. We also offer integrative mental health care for mold toxin and some other environmental toxin exposure, and some TBI and PCS symptoms, as well as support for folks with chronic health related mental health needs that intersect with the above traumas. We offer intersectional care that is decolonizing, supports those impacted by systemic abuse, and supports affirming neurodiversity. We integrate TIST-- Trauma Informed Stabilization Therapy, DBR -- Deep Brain Reorienting to recover from Shock, IFS-- Internal Family Systems Work, PVT-- Polyvagal Theory, AT -- Attachment Theory, Nonviolent Communication, Inner Child Work, IPNB -- Interpersonal Neurobiology, Bonnie Badenoch's IPNB and dyad work, Memory Reconsolidation, Coherence/Existential Level of Care, BrainSpotting, DARE Attachment Model, CranioSacral (for mind, gut, and acute trauma recovery), Mediation/Relational/Partners/Couples Support, Functional Mental Health Care via Psychiatry Redefined Training and BioIndividual Nutrition, Integrative and CAM Health Care (herbalism, homeopathy, remote Traditional Chinese Medicine and other CAM Care), Student-Directed Learning Pedagogies (from Education), compassionate Parenting and inner Re-parenting, ... and a strong Intersectional and Social Justice Framework to support clients to recover from the debilitating effects of traumas and myriad effects of traumas, facilitate clients being centered in their own sense of self, develop healthier boundaries, cultivate self awareness (mindfulness), understand and parse power structures for healthy discernment ... and move towards more fulfilling self actualization that is compassionate, inclusive and also eco-relationally congruent.
We are a POC/GM Practice with a decolonizing orientation and Intersectional framework. Red lines are red lines -- we don't support abuses of power systemically and culturally. We are supportive of indigenous peoples and other systemically marginalized peoples, and their rights to safety, parity, sovereignty and dignity. If you are interested in support, we'd love to work with you!
Our focus has been on supporting adult survivors of childhood sexual trauma and torture, folks recovering from narcissistic trauma, folks recovering from oppressive hegemonic systemic trauma and/or folks recovering from these traumas along with recovering from toxic mold exposure.
We do work with individuals with other needs who are active and engaged bystanders and activists advocating alongside the most systemically oppressed for systemic change for the greater good of the whole global community, prioritizing care for the most marginalized. We also support those who are actively stopping and recovering from committing moral injury and boundary transgressions and willingly doing the work to repair and become bystanders with their privilege rather than violent enactors. This is a no mass media and state propaganda zone.
If you are interested in support, please ask! We'd love to work with you.

Tracy Sachs
Therapist, MA, AMFT
This human life can be full of great sorrow. It can also offer exquisite beauty and joy but it’s hard to access life’s sweetness when you feel lost, stuck, and hopeless. While deeply uncomfortable, our challenges can be invitations to awaken into a more openhearted, fulfilling, and purposeful life. I can support and guide you through distressing feelings like fear, inadequacy and shame, relationship challenges, and times of great loss and uncertainty. Ultimately, I aim to empower you to discover and claim your unique becoming and develop the capacity to be present for both the grief and wondrous awe of being alive.

Somatic Therapy
Jessi Blank
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Seeking out professional support can feel hard, awkward, and even subtly intimidating. As a therapist, I dedicate my job to make sure all of my clients feel safe in the space that is created between us, allowing them to name and explore the various emotional pains that may have left them feeling stuck, derailed, angry, or even hopefuless. My therapy style is a mixture of soft tenderness that helps my clients feel seen and cared for, intentional questions of curiousity that helps my clients to expand their thinking and meaning making, while also, when appropriate, to subtly challenge any false beliefs or perceptions that may be playing into the role that may be keeping them adrift.
