Roderic Burks - Integrative Mental Health
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, MS HSc, MA, LMHC, LPC
I believe therapy is a space for deep, meaningful change—not just symptom relief. My work is grounded in a parts-based practice, depth psychology, and a trauma-informed lens, helping clients explore the aspects of themselves shaped by past experiences, relationships, and unconscious patterns. I approach this process with curiosity, compassion, and respect for your unique story.
I specialize in working with trauma recovery, mood disorders, depression, anxiety, codependency, and relationship issues. I view these challenges not simply as problems to eliminate, but as signals pointing toward deeper patterns that deserve attention and care. Together, we create a space where all parts of you are welcome—especially those that have been overworked, hidden, or misunderstood.
My goal is to help you develop greater self-awareness, inner balance, and a more authentic relationship with yourself and others.

Real Therapists Group
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LAC
I'm Jason Polk, LCSW, LAC — a licensed clinical social worker, couples therapist, and addiction counselor with over a decade of experience helping individuals and couples build more connected, resilient lives. My journey into this work began in my own relationships, including a painful divorce that showed me firsthand how easy it is to get stuck in patterns of disconnection and misunderstanding. Those experiences didn’t just shape my career — they fuel it.
I’m trained in Relational Life Therapy (RLT), Level II PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy), Clini-Coach® methods, and other relational frameworks that help people understand not just what is hurting but also why—and how to move toward trust, safety, and genuine connection.
I work with couples and individuals facing communication challenges, trust injuries, life transitions, the impact of addiction on relationships, and daily stresses that quietly weaken closeness. I believe therapy should be honest, grounded, and compassionate — a space where insight leads to real-world change.

Melaney Flaniken
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, B.S., Integrative Health Studies M.S., Clinical Mental Health Counseling
My counseling is rooted in trauma-informed care, existential exploration, and evidence-based practices like CBT and ERP. Whether you’re facing anxiety, navigating a life transition, or simply longing for more meaning and connection, we’ll work together to create a space where your voice matters and your goals guide the way.
You won’t get a one-size-fits-all approach here. Instead, you’ll be met exactly where you are—with compassion, curiosity, and a belief in your capacity to grow and heal.
If you're ready to explore your story, shift what’s no longer working, and step into a more empowered version of yourself, I invite you to reach out. Your healing starts with a single conversation—and I’m here when you’re ready.

Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
I have a passion for helping clients reduce anxiety, stress, confusion, sadness, and pain - so that they can live more fulfilling, authentic, and happy lives. Many of my clients have stated that coming to therapy has helped to catapult them out of their stagnation - enabling them to reach their full potential. For clients who have had difficulty finding a therapist who can understand their complex and intersecting identities, I can be a breath of fresh air. I work with folks ages 15 and up.

Vincent Espinoza
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
My therapy practice is focused on YOU, first and foremost! I believe we are all unique and a culmination of our values, desires, experiences and our untapped potential. My mission as a mental health clinician is to help my clients learn how to talk about sex in a healthy, unapologetic, sex-positive way and to confront and address past trauma so they can move into the present and enjoy a fulfilling life.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I believe every human being has inherent value, yet so many of us carry deep shame from past experiences that tell us otherwise—messages like “I’m bad,” “I’m too much,” “I’m unlovable,” or “If I show myself, I’ll be rejected.” These beliefs can quietly shape how we see ourselves, our relationships, and what we think is possible. In therapy, I work to help uncover and soften these old burdens so they no longer hold you back. My style is warm, collaborative, and deeply respectful of the courage it takes to show up. Together, we’ll build a space where you can feel seen in your wholeness, reconnect with your own inner wisdom, and move toward a life that feels freer and more grounded.
