Jess Williams
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSS, LCSW
When you're living your life just a little bit differently from other people, it can feel like the world just wasn't made for you - and it sucks. Whether it's how or who you love, how your brain works, the way you seem to worry about absolutely everything, or the decisions you make about what your life to look like, it can feel super isolating and discouraging to not feel seen and understood by those around you. When I work with clients, that is my main goal - to help them feel seen, understood, and accepted for who they are. Sure, we will work on your anxiety, I'll give you new techniques to try and different ways to think about the world around you, and we'll explore practical advice for things like workplace stress, relationship issues, and family drama, but I also want to help you like YOU more than you ever have before. It might sound cliche (in fact, I know it does), but developing the ability to back yourself, accept your emotions without judgement, and make decisions that feel truly right to you can make all the difference in the world.
Starting therapy can be anxiety-provoking at times, which is why I offer free consultations to all prospective clients. You can book a free 20 minute phone call directly on my website, and I'll reach out to you right away to confirm. We can chat about what you're looking for support with AND make sure everything feels like a good fit before scheduling an intake. I can't wait to connect with you!

Aligned Counseling LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCMH, LPC-MHSP
I believe that we are more than what we struggle with. In today's world women are often held to, or holding themselves to, a high standard. We strive to "do it all" and aim for perfection. We are often left feeling tired, anxious, and overwhelmed. You may be juggling a high stakes job, a new medical diagnosis, or simply trying to keep everything together. It is my honor to work with you to help you better understand your needs, your expectations, and your wants - essentially, to find the you that's underneath all of the stressors.

Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
We often seek therapy because we are hurting and unhappy in our relationships with others and ourselves. Anxiety, sadness, restlessness, and loneliness are often the clues that we feel off-track. Whether you are new to it, or have been in it before, therapy presents the opportunity to invite a professional fellow human into your journey of meaningful living.
I provide evidence-based treatment for anxiety, relational, and trauma-related concerns for neurotypical and neurodivergent adults. I also work with individuals seeking to explore and understand their experiences of gender and sexuality. Our work begins with clarifying the nature of and sources of your concerns, setting a path forward, and working together to help you implement and maintain the changes you seek.

Johanna Wood, Leap Counseling and Consultation
Psychologist, PhD, LP
I specialize in exposure-based therapies for OCD and anxiety disorders. My clients typically have tried therapy before, but have not seen much improvement. They continue living in fear, anxiety, and guilt, as their lives continue getting smaller and smaller. This is because OCD and most anxiety disorders require specialized treatment. Coping skills are great, but they can only get you so far. The good news is, there are science-backed treatments for OCD and for anxiety that actually work. If you're ready to stop coping and start living, take a leap of faith and reach out.
My style is structured and balances use of the latest science with compassion and understanding. My goal is to make you feel heard, and feel challenged. I serve adults with primary issues of OCD and anxiety, and I also address co-occurring depression, insomnia, body-focused repetitive behaviors, and trauma, using cognitive-behavioral therapies. I address all forms of OCD and anxiety, but I have a special interest in scrupulosity (religious- and moral-based) OCD. I love helping people stop letting their OCD hijack their sources of meaning and get back to having faith in faith again.
