Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
The life you always wanted, the life you always envisioned, it is disintegrating before your eyes. Divorce, while it is sometimes swift, is often more of a death by a thousand cuts, and in that slow death, it can be difficult to reconcile the cause and effect, and grieve and rage in appropriate amounts. How to heal, how to move on, how to be ready for what is next? Divorce brings so many challenges, mundane, practical, esoteric, spiritual, and emotional. Therapy can help.

David Andreone
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MFT
Acceptance of the dissolution of a marriage is step #1 to starting a new (and almost always a better) life and relationship. I've been married for many years (and I was also divorced once!) -- let's get through this hard time together.

Drew Carr
Psychologist, Ph.D.
You had a good day. Work went well; you exercised; maybe even spent time with people you care about. Then you got home, noticed everything you had not done, opened your phone “for a minute,” and disappeared into comparison, research, or another plan to improve your life. By bedtime, the day no longer felt like enough. I work with thoughtful, driven folks, often ADHD or ADHD-ish, who look capable from the outside but feel restless, scattered, disconnected, or chronically behind. You may be successful and self-aware, yet exhausted from constantly trying to fix yourself.
My approach is practical and collaborative, grounded in contextual behavioral science. We look beneath procrastination, distraction, burnout, and indecision to understand how these patterns developed and what keeps them going. Therapy is not another performance test. It is a place to rebuild self-trust and act from what matters—not shame, fear, or proving.
I do not offer a final formula for what your life should be. I can help you slow the machinery down, recognize the rules that have been running you, and take the next honest step without abandoning yourself. If you have built a life that should feel meaningful but doesn't feel like home, contact me to see whether we're a good fit.
