Kelsi McMartin
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
In my practice I work with both adults and children but find I work especially well with children who are creative, unique or sensitive and need some support managing emotions, and feeling good about themselves. I also enjoy working with women and men in transition, or who are feeling stuck.

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)?

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.

Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Beginning March of 2025 I will exclusively be providing online therapy (tele-health) using video technology. Over the past 30 years I have specialized in helping marginalized people heal, evolve, and find their tribe. I’ve spent deep and significant time with: LGBTQIA+, polyamory, sexual kink and sex therapy, and existential depth therapy. I am solution focused, very practical and direct, while also providing deep empathy and understanding. I prefer massive behavior change and strategies over digging into our deep, dark, past issues — we can always figure out the reason for our struggles later.

Laura Fleming
Pre-Licensed Professional, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
I bring both professional training and real-life experience into my work as a therapist. I’m a mom, a military spouse, and someone who understands anxiety—including postpartum anxiety—not just clinically, but personally. I’ve spent years working with children with special needs and their families, which has deeply shaped how I view emotional health, caregiving, and resilience.
I believe therapy works best when evidence-based tools are paired with compassion, emotional depth, and practicality. My goal is to help you understand the root of what you’re experiencing—not just manage surface level symptoms—so visible, lasting change can happen. I’m especially passionate about working with parents and caregivers, because when adults take care of themselves and their relationships, the impact on children is beautiful and significant. If you’re looking for therapy that feels genuine, collaborative, and grounded in real life, I’d love to connect.

Adela Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
I’m a couples therapist working online across California and Oregon. Many couples come to me feeling stuck, unseen, or like they’re speaking different languages. Sometimes there’s neurodivergence (ADHD, autism), past trauma, or years of miscommunication that usual advice doesn’t touch. My style is direct, compassionate, and real—I bring humor, honesty, and respect into sessions while helping you uncover the patterns beneath conflict. I specialize in helping partners reconnect, improve intimacy, and rebuild trust. You don’t have to be perfect or throw away your life together to reclaim closeness and resilience. If you’re ready to move past surface fixes and find a deeper way forward, I’d love to support you in creating a relationship that feels like “us” again.

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.

Lauren Consul
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CST, JD
Repeating the same argument on loop isn’t good foreplay. Neither is dodging intimacy, silently stewing in betrayal, or feeling totally lost when it comes to your sexuality. If your relationship feels more like a roommate situation, if your sex life is collecting dust, or if trust has been shattered and you're wondering, now what? You're exactly where you need to be. You don’t have to stay stuck. You can heal. You can feel turned on by your partner and by your life. Let’s get you there.
