New Foundation Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Dealing with trauma and past hurts, struggling with work, relationships, or addiction, managing depression & anxiety or to better understand one's gender identity or sexuality - it isn't easy to address any of these things. We see therapy as a safe, judgment-free, shame-free, and confidential space, where you are free to vent, confide, cry, discuss, imagine, find strength, and be empowered. Most importantly, therapy is a place for hope to come alive, to learn new coping skills, to achieve personal growth, and to discover you are strong, valuable, and greater than any struggle you might have. Transformation is possible!
We realize meeting with a clinician can be anxiety-provoking and can even feel stressful. It does not need to be. We understand how finances, relationships, children, family, & work can create anxiety, worries, stress and even anger. You don't need to live being "weighed down" by these things - therapy can help lessen your burden! You are worth it!

Greta Carlson, Psy.D., ABPP
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Welcome! I'm a clinical psychologist with nearly a decade of clinical experience working with children, adolescents, and adults of all ages. I see children, adolescents, and young adults aged 5 and up with depression, chronic PTSD and dissociation, anxiety, OCD, and ADHD. My clients present with a range of concerns, including anxiety, ruminative thoughts, shame feelings, and perfectionism. Having had extensive experience in both psychodynamic psychotherapy and Trauma Focused-CBT, I take an integrative approach when working with clients-I collaborate with you and your child to tailor your goals and address needs for treatment.
While we would tailor treatment to further draw out and address your goals, I work to help you get to know yourself-to name and regulate a range of feelings, identify negative beliefs about yourself, others, or the world, and find healthier ways to cope with strong feelings. I also consider how your past history is relevant to your present relationships.
The decision to seek therapy is such a courageous one. I think, oftentimes, we can tell ourselves that we can "think through" or "solve problems" entirely on our own-it's so difficult to reach out for support! I work at a pace that feels manageable for you or your child, focusing on creating a warm and collaborative alliance for therapy and assessment.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with young adults and adults who feel overwhelmed, overextended, and stuck in patterns they can’t think their way out of. Often, they’re still keeping life moving on the outside. Many of my clients are high‑functioning and responsible, while privately feeling depleted, anxious, or shut down. Therapy offers a place to slow down, notice what’s happening in your body and mind, and begin shifting toward a life that feels more like your own, including how you relate to yourself and others. My style is clear, thoughtful, and deeply attuned.

Averill Hovey
Art Therapist, MA, MA, LPC-S, ATR-BC, EMDR
I believe therapy is most meaningful when you feel genuinely seen, understood, and able to show up as yourself. My approach is warm, collaborative, creative, and grounded in the belief that there is no single way to heal or create change.
I work with adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, relationships, life transitions, and the many complicated seasons of being human. As a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor, Board Certified Art Therapist, and EMDR therapist, I draw from talk therapy, art and expressive approaches, EMDR, and other experiential methods. You never need to consider yourself “artistic” to benefit from creative work, and we will always shape therapy around what feels useful and authentic to you.
I see my role not as someone who has all the answers, but as someone who can help you slow things down, notice patterns, understand yourself more deeply, and discover possibilities that may be difficult to see when you are in the middle of things. Therapy can hold both seriousness and humor, reflection and action, vulnerability and strength.
Above all, I hope to create a space where you can be curious about yourself without judgment and where the work feels human, connected, and uniquely yours.
