Luke R. Allen
Psychologist, PhD
I operate from an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) approach. A core idea in ACT is that trying too hard to get rid of or control our emotions tends to backfire. Instead of trying to get rid of unwanted thoughts and feelings, I want to help you learn to respond differently to the unwanted thoughts and feelings so that you can keep your focus on living a fulfilling life based on what’s important to you. We will work together to set meaningful goals to address your concerns–whether they relate to life transitions, depression, anxiety, body image, grief/loss, job or academic stress, or gender and sexuality.

Dr. Sheena Sikorski
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
Do you constantly feel like you're never good enough? Do you feel like you compare yourself to other people and think they're so much better looking or smarter than you? Do you feel like you have to wear a mask and pretend you're someone you're not just to get people to like you, not leave you, or reject you? If you said 'yes' to any or all of these questions, you've come to the right place. These are common signs of perfectionism and people-pleasing, my specialty! If you're ready to roll up your sleeves and put in the work to find and use your voice to share your opinions and needs, feel safe being vulnerable to deepen your emotional connections, and learn how to compassionately hold yourself accountable when you make a mistake, this CAN be your reality with the scientifically based tools you'll learn working with me as your guide. To learn more about working together, reach out by sending me a message through my profile on here. I'm excited to hear from you!

Ashley Vroegindewey
Pre-Licensed Professional, LPCC
It's important to not feel judged when talking about the things that are causing us stress, depression, anxiety or pain in our lives. It's also important that we are supported in a compassionate manner. These are a few of the things that you can expect when in session with me; a compassionate, nonjudgemental and supportive ear. You can also expect goals and sessions tailored to your individual needs. I do not believe that one form of treatment works for everyone, which is why I practice an integrative approach that utilizes many different tools and techniques in order to tailor your treatment specifically to you.
There does not have to be something "wrong" with you in order to seek services. Some people come to me because they are worried all the time about things they do not need to worry about, some come because they are bad at focusing, some come because they are feeling down or hopeless, some come because they have decided to address a trauma they experienced, and some come because they are stressed over life changes. There is no right or wrong reason or time to come see me. I am ready to provide you the support you need now and in the future.
