Dr. Julie Rashkis
Psychologist, Psy.D., MSCP
As a clinical psychologist and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, I’m passionate about helping people feel seen and supported during midlife—a time of both challenge and transformation. Over the past 20 years, I’ve worked with individuals and couples facing changes in mood, identity, health, and relationships. My approach integrates evidence-based psychological care with the latest research in perimenopause and menopause, helping clients make sense of what’s happening in their minds and bodies. My goal is to create a space where midlife becomes not just something to manage—but a stage of renewal, clarity, and growth.

David B. Biggs
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Hello and thank you for checking out my profile. I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist with more than 25 years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked in clinical, residential, and private practice settings, and have received training in multiple evidence based therapeutic modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy. Choosing the right therapist from a website can be difficult, which is why I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation so you can get a sense of whether I'm a good fit for your needs. If I'm not, I will make every effort to refer you to a therapist that is. If we do choose to work together, I will work hard to build an authentic, trusting relationship with you, so together we can uncover your inner resources to overcome the challenges you’re facing, and attain the personal growth you're committed to accomplishing.

Kristin Miyoko Papa
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
It's hard for you to put yourself first or even ask for help. You've been struggling with anxiety or burnout for a while and you know something needs to change, but you tend to take care of everyone else before yourself. You're usually the first to jump into help others and are the go-to person for your family, friends, or coworkers so prioritizing your own mental health almost feels selfish since you think you "don't have it that bad". But now you're ready to take the step to reconnect with your own needs, make yourself a priority, and clarify your core values so they can be your road map towards the life you want.
I specialize in anxiety and helping people who are tired of putting themselves last & want stop feeling guilty about prioritizing their own well-being. I help my clients align their lives with their values & empower them to make sustainable changes. I work with people who want to learn tools to feel more grounded & to show up as the person you want to be.
