Vida Mendez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW, EMDR II
I didn’t become a therapist to sit quietly and nod. I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up honestly and do meaningful work, not perform or filter yourself.
My perspective was shaped by years working closely with people navigating difficult and high-stakes situations. That experience taught me that people’s reactions, patterns, and defenses make sense when you understand what they’ve been through.
I value authenticity, honesty, and being fully present in my work. I show up as a real person, and you can expect directness, respect, and genuine engagement.
I also place a high value on continuing to learn and deepen my understanding of trauma and human behavior. This commitment helps me better understand my clients and support meaningful, lasting change.

Lance Kair
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, LPC
Lance Kair is a licensed therapist specializing in anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, life transitions, men's mental health, emotional regulation, and personal growth. He works with adults who are seeking more than symptom relief, helping them understand the underlying patterns that contribute to stress, depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, low self-esteem, and feelings of being stuck or disconnected.
He developed the YAM Approach (TM), a framework that helps clients develop greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and personal agency. Lance believes that lasting change occurs when individuals learn to understand what is actually happening, their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and nervous system responses, interactions, rather than simply trying to manage or suppress them.
Drawing from Somatic Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and trauma-informed care, Lance helps clients heal from past experiences, improve relationships, overcome self-defeating patterns, and build a stronger connection to their authentic selves. His work is especially effective for individuals struggling with anxiety, childhood trauma, relationship challenges, burnout, chronic stress, and questions of identity, purpose, and meaning.
Lance creates a compassionate, direct, and collaborative therapeutic environment where clients can safely explore difficult experiences while developing practical skills for everyday life. He views therapy as a process of empowerment, helping people move beyond survival mode and toward a life characterized by clarity, confidence, emotional flexibility, and meaningful connection.
Whether working with trauma, anxiety, relationship difficulties, or personal transformation, Lance's goal is to help clients cultivate lasting change by strengthening their ability to respond to life with intention, authenticity, and a deep sense of personal agency.

Kate Leak, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PMH-C, EMDR certified
When tough stuff happens, it makes it difficult to trust the internal answers you already have, and it makes it easy to second-guess yourself. By resolving past traumas, which can be one-time or several events, it makes the path forward feel more clear.
To help make sense of the difficult, challenging, and horrible things that happen to people, I specialize in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), with additional training in attachment, cPTSD, perinatal trauma, postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, and depression and anxiety.
