Dr. Dawnn R. Meiers
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Currently accepting clients! My approach is grounded in 25+yrs of experience as a psychotherapist and community educator. I’m passionate about helping people grow through the tough stuff – and also thrive during messy or dark life seasons, with interventions drawn from the research-supported "third wave" of cognitive-behavioral therapy, which includes mindfulness and acceptance approaches, in addition to existential therapy, positive psychology, and nature prescriptions. Expect invitations for behavioral "experiments," culturally-relevant self-help resources, and client-centered compassionate care. Schedule a free 15 minute consultation to discuss your needs today.

Dr. Alisha Desai
Psychologist, PhD
I am a firm believer that we are all capable of change. At the same time, I understand how difficult and scary change can be - even if it's what we want most. My goal is to help others build the confidence to see themselves fully and move through life based on their own inner compass.
My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I aim to create a space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing, without judgment, while developing concrete tools to navigate challenges, build resilience, and live a life that feels more meaningful and aligned with your values.

Michael Brustein
Psychologist, Psy.D
Often, perfectionistic and high-striving individuals are both curious about therapy and ambivalent about seeking it. They may feel excited by the possibility of understanding themselves more deeply, while also unsettled by the idea of asking for help with one’s own mind. For people who are used to being competent, self-reliant, and in control, therapy can feel exposing at first.
Michael helps clients understand this hesitation not as resistance, but as part of the work itself: the wish to grow alongside the fear of needing anything at all. Many clients become more comfortable once they see that therapy is not simply about “talking about feelings,” but about learning to observe the mind with more honesty and precision.
Therapy becomes a disciplined space for reflection, which itself can be a powerful tool for developing emotional clarity, self-awareness, and greater freedom in how one responds to pressure, relationships, and oneself. Michael is also attentive to the ways thoughtful, high-striving people can use insight, analysis, mindfulness, or even spiritual ideas to move around painful emotional material rather than through it. When this pattern is noticed early, it can be addressed directly and compassionately, helping therapy remain grounded, emotionally honest, and clinically useful.

Colby Schepps
Psychologist, Psy.D.
There is no better time than this current moment to lean in and learn more about what is standing between you and where you want to be. It may be a past trauma, recent lack of motivation, relationship conflict, work stress, or more than likely, its some combination of things that are keeping you stuck. You probably have the knowledge and skills to know what you could do, and need some help figuring out how to actually do it. Therapy is an experience where you can get clear on what you want and how you want to live, and start taking meaningful and measurable steps in that direction with someone you trust walking alongside you. I would love to be a part of that process with you.
I work to help you learn about what you are already doing well, because you absolutely are already doing many things well, and use those skills and strengths to improve in other areas. Using your values as a roadmap, we will identify goals and practice skills to move in your chosen direction. Learning in a nonjudgmental, compassionate, light-hearted environment will allow you to utilize the knowledge and skills independently and across many domains of life.
I have been providing therapy for more than a decade, spending most of my early career treating Veterans and Active Duty Service Members in a VA setting. Now, I work with adults of all backgrounds and identities to clarify their values, live more consistently with those values, and live the lives they really want to live. Client-therapist match is so important to effective therapeutic work, so I encourage you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation call so that you can feel sure about taking this next step. I hope that you do and I look forward to meeting you.
