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.

Life can be full of difficult moments, unexpected transitions, and painful relationships. They may leave you feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or as though you’ve lost who you are. You may be finding yourself resorting back to old patterns during times of stress, even if those patterns no longer serve you well. Although you may be feeling stuck, you’re sure that you want things to change. Together, we can walk through your experiences side by side. You deserve a space in which you feel heard and supported, and where we can work towards gaining a deeper understanding of yourself, your experiences, and your relationships.
Clients come to me seeking a therapist who is warm, understanding, and accepting. I always strive to meet you where you are - to follow your pace, to assist you in identifying and navigating the places you feel stuck, and to collaborate with you on moving toward the goals that are important to you.
As a licensed clinical psychologist with extensive experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults, I tailor my approach to fit your current needs, as well as your unique strengths and concerns. You don't have to keep going through this alone. Contact me for a free 15-minute consultation to determine if we could be a good fit.

Psychodynamic
Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I believe every human being has inherent value, yet so many of us carry deep shame from past experiences that tell us otherwise—messages like “I’m bad,” “I’m too much,” “I’m unlovable,” or “If I show myself, I’ll be rejected.” These beliefs can quietly shape how we see ourselves, our relationships, and what we think is possible. In therapy, I work to help uncover and soften these old burdens so they no longer hold you back. My style is warm, collaborative, and deeply respectful of the courage it takes to show up. Together, we’ll build a space where you can feel seen in your wholeness, reconnect with your own inner wisdom, and move toward a life that feels freer and more grounded.

Center for Authentic Life & Relationship, LLC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LPC, LMFT, CPCS, CSAT-S, CAADC, EMDR, CSTOP-Candidate
Recovering from PTSD and trauma can feel intimidating, especially when painful memories of abuse begin to surface. My role as a therapist is to provide a safe, steady, and compassionate space where you can begin to process what happened and discover that healing is possible. We can also work together to build healthier coping skills that support recovery and help reduce reliance on addictive behaviors. You do not have to face this alone—take the first step toward healing today.

Alex Stachowski
Counselor/Therapist, APC, NCC, MA
You may look like you have everything together on the outside, but internally feel overwhelmed, disconnected, emotionally exhausted, or unsure of yourself. Maybe your mind never seems to slow down. You’re struggling to feel understood, questioning your relationships or direction in life, or simply tired of pushing through instead of genuinely enjoying the life you’re living.
I work with teens, young adults, and couples who want more than a quick fix. My approach combines practical tools for navigating the challenges you’re facing today with deeper exploration of the patterns, emotions, relationships, and experiences that may be keeping you stuck.
My style is warm, conversational, and collaborative, but I also believe compassion and gentle challenge can exist together. I won’t simply sit back and agree with everything you say. Together, we’ll approach your experiences with curiosity and compassion while honestly exploring whether your current patterns and choices are moving you toward—or away from—the life and relationships you want.
At the heart of my work is the belief that meaningful change is not about eliminating every difficult thought or emotion. It’s about better understanding yourself, strengthening your relationships, and learning to move toward what matters most, even when life feels uncertain or difficult.
Whether you’re a teen struggling to feel understood, a young adult navigating anxiety, relationships, identity, or life direction, or a couple longing to reconnect, you don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out. Therapy can be a place to slow down, gain clarity, and begin creating meaningful change.
