Matthew Syzdek
Psychologist, PhD, LP, MBA
If you feel on edge, anxious, irritable, or just can't relax, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again. Dr Syzdek treats anxiety and related conditions typically using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and exposure therapies. These approaches combine mindfulness, acceptance, and cognitive strategies to help you live your life again and find relief from the the struggle.

Joanne A. Petursson
Psychologist, PsyD
I have an extensive history of working with substance use issues from a harm reduction stance. This means that I meet the client where they are at to help them explore how they would like to change their substance use; whether they want to reduce use or become abstinent. I endeavor to help them achieve the goals that work best for them.

Marc Feinberg
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, CBC
"When the Son sets you free you will be free indeed". Addiction isn’t a sign of weakness — it’s a cry for healing. Behind every destructive habit lies a story of pain, shame, and unmet need. Recovery begins when you stop running from your truth and start facing it with love. Freedom isn’t found in fighting harder — it’s found in forgiving deeper, believing again, and rebuilding from within. You are not your past, your cravings, or your mistakes. You are the courage to begin again. Healing is possible — and your comeback story is waiting to be written.

Russell Beebe
Life Coach, Counselor, LCMHC, CSAT,
Our recovery coaching program supports men struggling with addictive behaviors, including compulsive sexual behavior and related dependency patterns. While many addiction models focus primarily on substances, we work specifically with behavioral addictions that follow similar neurological and psychological reinforcement cycles. This structured coaching approach emphasizes accountability, clear boundaries, and practical recovery tools designed to interrupt compulsive patterns and build long-term stability.
