Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
In searching for a therapist, you are taking the first step in what could be the most important journey of your life. It is definitely possible to make important, lasting improvements in your life and levels of happiness, satisfaction, and success. Therapy is often an effective way to attain these goals. With almost 40 years of experience working as a counselor and then a psychologist, I am well-qualified to help you identify what is standing in the way of increased life satisfaction, and help you effectively work towards your goals. People often get stuck in old patterns that make them unhappy, want to change them, but don't know how. I work together with my clients to understand how old patterns in thought, feeling, and behavior got established, and then explore how best to change those patterns. I enjoy doing longer term, deeper work with clients, to create significant, meaningful, and lasting change. I often employ a holistic approach, exploring personal history, thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationship history and issues, as well as issues including medical history, self-care habits, and experiences of spirituality. I view the therapy relationship as a partnership, respecting the pace and timing that the client requires.

As a psychologist, I find joy and fulfillment getting to help people become the best versions of themselves. Whether it is working through conflicts in intimate relationships/families, religious trauma, eating/body image concerns, or exploring gender, neurodiversity, sexuality, or other areas of identity, I offer clients the unique experience of being seen, heard, and affirmed. Working from a place of collaboration and creativity, we will tailor your therapy experience to be one that meets or even exceeds your goals for self-improvement and inspires hope and growth in your personal life.

Dr. Susan L. Waldo
Psychologist, PhD
Practicing as a psychologist over the last 30 years has been one of the greatest joys of my life. I have been privileged to be invited into the lives of individuals and couples who are suffering and help them find their way to peaceful, fulfilling lives and relationships. Having walked the road from abuse, suffering, tragedy, and mental health disorders to healing myself, I feel especially equipped to help others do the same. Knowing that healing oneself and one’s relationships is possible from personal experience, I am passionate about paying forward the lessons and wisdom I was given.

I am a PA Licensed Psychologist, Nationally Certified School Psychologist, and Board Certified Behavior Analyst with over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and families. I also work with adults with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and Autism.
I customize therapy sessions for individual and family needs. My specialty areas include Autism, ADHD (including executive function training), anxiety disorders, and depression.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Clients work best with someone they trust and feel comfortable with. One of the most consistent pieces of feedback I get is how easy it is to talk with me and they appreciate that I'm "real". I believe that a pinch of empathy and a dash of compassion makes the perfect recipe to provide you an accurate reflection needed to do meaningful therapy work.
