Sonya Som
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, LPCC, EMDR, Hypnotherapist
If you need a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, non-judgmental space to process, learn, explore, grow, and ultimately succeed, you’ve come to the right place.
I use an integrative approach that incorporates elements of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) & trauma-informed practices.
My clients have described me as accepting, curious, collaborative, funny, insightful, and wise. And most of all, caring.
I care about you, the stage of life you’re in, the hurt you’ve felt, the joys you’ve shared, and the goals you have. I am not only here for you, I am here with you.
You matter, so let’s work to move meaningfully through life, with acceptance, awareness, compassion, and empathy

Barton Shulman
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC (multiple states), CCMHC, BC-TMH
People come to me because they're navigating difficulties with life changes, depression, anxiety—any of a million ways that distress manifests itself in our lives. If I had to say I have a specialty, it's seeing you for the unique person that you are, and meeting you where you are in your struggle. I work with my clients to help discover what issues are causing difficulty or suffering and then to identify the strengths that people have inside of them to help address those challenges.
I see my work as walking a path with you. It’s not my job to tell you which path to take or point you to a different path. My job is to walk alongside of you and point out some of the things you're not noticing. I accompany you down your path instead of telling you where to go.
It's really common for people to think nobody sees them—nobody gets them—and that's my work. To set a safe place for you to be fully you, and to have somebody who sees you. Sees your doubts, your fears, all the things that you feel are flaws, and accepts you for all of that. I truly believe that at our core we're all trying to grow toward our truest self, and my job isn't to tell you what that true self is. It's really to just provide you a space to grow into that, and get out of your way, and support you and help you do it.

My goal when I began my EMDR training was not just to be an EMDR therapist, but to be a GREAT EMDR therapist. I attend any new training I am able to. I know that my work is my marketing. I want to help people heal and continue to live life fully. I view working through issues as a natural life process. I am blessed to be living my life purpose.

Ryan Ramsey
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
“In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities; in the expert’s mind there are few.” This Zen Buddhist quote guides my way of being a therapist. I strive to keep a “beginner’s mind”: to stay curious, open, and humble. To not assume things, or forget the uniqueness of every person and situation I encounter as a therapist. My aim is to stay present to what is happening, not to “fix” you or tell you how to live, but to use my awareness to help you find your own answers and to define your own path.
We’re just going to talk. To slow down, be present, and to notice thoughts, emotions, and patterns. We’ll be real and we’ll be honest. You can express yourself without pressure and without fear of judgement here.
The next step is to just reach out: call, email, or visit my website to book an initial consultation. I look forward to talking with you.
