Kelley Hopkins-Alvarez
Licensed Professional Counselor, Couples & Sex Therapy, Discernment Counselor, Healing Separation, Co-Parenting, Non-Adversarial Divorce Support
My clients are couples and co-parents that are dealing with communication issues. I offer them a peaceful and private setting where we develop actionable small steps that they feel they can take to improve how they respond to the negative communication cycles and triggers they are experiencing. I help each of them to take ownership of changes that they each can make rather then blame their partner or co-parent.
Please see my Services, Qualifications and Testimonials page on kelleyhopkinsalvarez.com to learn more.
I also incorporate stress-reduction, mindfulness strategies in my work with you. I have trained with mindfulness masters Pema Chodron, Kristen Neff and Christopher Germer. Mindfulness helps you to regulate your emotions and lower your stress response, all which helps you to manage conflict and make better decisions in your relationship.I believe that when you continue to incorporate positive aspects into your life that you both can begin to "rewire" the ways in which you think and behave with each other.
At times, it's necessary to some take some time to slow down and just take a breath, in doing so, blood pressure and heart rate lowers and you have more power to think clearly.
My office is also very relaxing, which fosters a therapeutic feel, allowing you, the clients, to become more at ease to share what's most important to you.

I look forward to speaking with you to discuss what your needs are and how we can work collaboratively to develop a plan that works for you.

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.

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.
