Shelley Klammer
Counselor/Therapist, MTC, REACE, FOT, CHyp
Do you consider yourself spiritual, empathic, intuitive, creative, deep-thinking, or highly sensitive (HSP)? Do you sometimes struggle with emotional overwhelm, anxiety or depression? If you sense you have wounded inner child defense patterns from the past that block you from moving forward into the authentic self-expression of your needs and aspirations, I invite you into a therapy space where your originality, inner imagery, thoughts, and feelings can lead you towards greater wholeness, strength, and maturity.

Colette Pauta
Counselor/Therapist
If you're looking for someone who will truly listen and help you feel heard and seen, my goal is to offer a space where you don't have to filter or perform. I take a warm, relational, and collaborative approach to therapy, meeting you where you're at with curiosity and care. I believe that humor has a place in healing, and when used thoughtfully, it can make difficult conversations feel less intimidating and more human. My work is trauma-informed and grounded in understanding how your experiences, relationships, and environment shape the challenging you're facing. Together, we'll explore patterns, build insight, and develop practical tools that feel relevant to your everyday life. Therapy with me is not about having all the answers, it's about creating space to slow down, reflect, and move forward with greater clarity and self-trust. Whether you're thinking about therapy for the first time, or have been in the counseling space before, I welcome the opportunity to get to know who you are at your core.

Barry Herbach
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
You don’t have to stay stuck in old pain. I help people move through trauma, anxiety, and grief using EMDR therapy — a powerful, effective method that goes deeper than talk alone.
Most of my clients show up strong for others but feel overwhelmed inside. They’ve tried to “just move on” — but it’s not that simple. EMDR helps your nervous system finally let go.
I’ve been doing this work for nearly 30 years, and I bring a steady, compassionate presence to every session. We go at your pace. You don’t have to relive everything — but you don’t have to carry it alone either.

Tracy Feldman-Ashdale
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
One of my greatest strengths is my ability to help clients create change in a way that feels realistic, compassionate, and sustainable. I combine accountability with warmth and support, helping women move beyond all-or-nothing thinking and develop habits that fit their real lives.
I also bring a highly personalized approach to each session. I understand that every woman’s relationship with health, stress, and self-care, and relationships is different, which is why I focus on helping clients build self-awareness, confidence, consistency, and trust in themselves—not just temporary motivation.
Clients often appreciate my ability to balance emotional insight with practical strategies, creating sessions that feel both supportive and empowering.
