Jasmine Wilson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
Hi, I’m Jasmine.
Maybe you’ve become so good at holding everything together that you hardly notice how much you’re carrying anymore. You may be someone others experience as dependable, thoughtful, and capable, while underneath, you’re managing anxiety, overwhelm, self-doubt, or the pressure of trying to keep everything going.
You might find yourself overthinking decisions, putting pressure on yourself to get things right, worrying about disappointing people, or realizing that you’re much better at recognizing what everyone else needs than knowing what you need yourself. Even when you understand some of these patterns, it can be difficult to step outside of them when they’ve become such familiar ways of moving through the world.
I work with adults who are used to carrying a lot and are beginning to recognize that they don’t want to keep doing it in the same way. My approach is warm, collaborative, somatic, and depth-oriented, which means we’ll make space for what’s happening in your life while also getting curious about the patterns underneath it and what you notice in your body, emotions, and relationships.
Together, we can slow things down enough for you to become more familiar with what you feel, need, and want, while building greater trust in yourself and more choice in how you respond when familiar patterns show up.

Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, Nationally Registered Health Service Provider
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families to create meaningful, measurable change in how they feel, function, and relate to others.

I work with a wide range of concerns—including anxiety, low mood, loss, self-doubt, and life transitions—and have particular expertise in performance psychology, public speaking anxiety, panic attacks, fear of flying, and questions of purpose or meaning. If you’re unsure whether therapy is the right next step, I also offer a one-time consultation assessment to help clarify what may be contributing to your current stress and identify effective pathways forward, whether through therapy or other strategies.

Karen Petren
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I became a therapist because I believe that each of one of us can live more fully and with more happiness and depth. It takes work and a positive connection with someone who cares and reminds you of what your inner voice is telling you. “We’re in this together,” is something I truly live by as a therapist. Hold on, the ride might get a little bumpy, but it will be so worth the effort!
