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.

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.

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!

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.
