Brainspotting
Bamboo Center for Grief, Growth, & Well-being
Psychologist, PsyD
Hi! My name is Anna Darbonne (pronounced Dahr-bon, like a bonfire), I'm a Clinical Psychologist, author, entrepreneur, and mama.
I help high achieving, self-reflective clients to cope with life transitions, feel great about themselves and their lives, and to transform grief or challenging experiences into meaningful personal growth opportunities.
I am a firm believer in the healing power of laughter and play, that the best way to care for others is to prioritize caring for ourselves, that relationships don't end at death, and that ice cream is one of the best inventions ever!

Kate Kittredge
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C, LP
You don’t have to navigate life’s hardest seasons alone. I believe therapy is a place where you can take off the mask, exhale, and be met with empathy, curiosity, and respect. My role is to walk beside you—helping you find meaning, healing, and a renewed sense of connection to yourself and the people you love.
My approach is humanistic and person-centered, grounded in the belief that you are the expert on your own life. I blend evidence-based and experiential methods, drawing from somatic and brain-based modalities such as Brainspotting to support both emotional and physiological healing. Our work together unfolds at your pace, guided by what feels most important and authentic to you.
I specialize in supporting individuals through the perinatal period—including pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, pregnancy or birth trauma, loss, and the complex emotions that accompany the journey of building a family. I also work with those experiencing anxiety, burnout, grief, or major life transitions, helping clients reconnect with their sense of stability and self-trust.
In therapy, we’ll explore not only the stories you tell yourself but also how those stories live in your body. Together, we’ll learn to listen to what your nervous system is communicating, create space for what’s been held too tightly, and build new ways of coping and thriving.
My goal is to help you feel more at home within yourself—to find a sense of balance, clarity, and self-compassion, even when life feels uncertain. Healing isn’t about erasing pain; it’s about creating room for hope and meaning to grow beside it.
If you’re ready to begin—or even if you’re not sure where to start—I’ll meet you right where you are. You deserve support that honors your whole self.

Dr Janice Caudill - Intensive Recovery Healing
Psychologist, PhD, CSAT-S, CCPS-S, CPTT-S, IAT, SEP
I’ve spent a lot of time developing expertise in the issues I work with; however, I rely equally on my heart and gut sense in working with each client uniquely. I have a straightforward, common-sense style and know the value of elbow grease in making life changes. Trauma in all its forms is the thread that connects the different life problems I specialize in working with. I don’t believe in having only one tool in my toolbox, any more than I believe in having only one trauma treatment available to help you. Let’s figure out what tools work best for you, whether that be EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Brain Spotting, Deep Brain Reorienting, or the Safe and Sound Protocol. We currently have openings for intensives, men's and women's groups, and online workshops.

Paula Kirsch
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST
Some things are hard to say out loud. Maybe you've never quite found the words, or the right person to say them to. Maybe you've been carrying questions about your body, your desire, your relationship, or who you are, quietly and for a long time.
You don't have to do that here.
I'm Paula Kirsch, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Sex Therapist, and I work with women navigating sexual health concerns, LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, and people in ENM and kink-engaged relationships. Not as a specialty I added on, but as the heart of my practice. I understand your world, your language, and the particular weight of the things you may have never said to anyone.
Whatever you bring into this space, I'm not going to flinch, rush you, or hand you a formula. We'll sit with it together and figure out where to go from there. That's the work, and I genuinely love doing it. Book your Free Consultation on my website.
