Marge Michaelson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, ACSW, DSW
Do you feel discouraged or are you dealing with worry, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and/or loneliness? Your struggles with self-esteem, trauma, or parenting may be preventing the quality of life you seek. You have the possibility to find solutions and relief.
We all have difficult moments in our lives. Any issue you have is not too large or small to unravel with guidance. You can address issues creating isolation, distraction, or unhappiness. Can you envision yourself opening doors to increased comfort? The sense of wanting change can lead to solutions.
Over the last 30 years, I have provided help in evaluating clients' struggles. My goal is to provide a respectful and safe place where we can work to set goals. There are specific techniques to develop understanding and possible new ways for coping. Each person's struggle is unique. I have supervised interns and worked in both nonprofit and private practice. My clients benefit from my work with a National/International Professional Affiliation

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.
