Danny Boylan
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
My work as a therapist begins with creating a space that feels genuinely safe, private, and respectful — a place where you don’t have to censor yourself or worry about being judged. I place a strong emphasis on building a trusting, collaborative relationship, because feeling understood and accepted is often a powerful catalyst for meaningful change in itself.
I aim to meet clients exactly where they are, taking time to understand their unique experiences while supporting them in moving toward the changes they want to make in their lives. My primary therapeutic approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on how shifts in thoughts, perceptions, and behaviors can lead to meaningful changes in emotional well-being.
In addition to being a Licensed Professional Counselor, I am also a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor and a National Certified Counselor. My professional background and personal interests have shaped my focus on working with anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, relationship challenges, career and life transitions, existential questions, and a general sense of feeling stuck or dissatisfied.
I am LGBTQ+ affirming and offer secular therapy, welcoming clients who prefer an approach grounded in psychology rather than religious or spiritual frameworks. I provide HIPAA-compliant video therapy and am often able to help clients get started without a long wait. Choosing a therapist is an important decision, so I offer a free 15-minute consultation to help you determine whether working together feels like a good fit.

Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
My approach to therapy is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of increasing self-awareness and coping skills to help promote the kind of changes that you would like to see. I believe that the quality of the therapist/client relationship is paramount to effective therapy. Because of this, I highly encourage you to choose a therapist that feels like a "good fit" for you. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about your background and reasons for seeking therapy, answer any questions you may have, and then plan together from there. Starting therapy can feel daunting or overwhelming for many people, so it is important that we work at a pace that feels comfortable to you.

Matt Vaughn
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, LMHC
I keep therapy pretty down to earth, even though I have a solid theoretical training behind me. I use humor a lot because I genuinely believe that if you're laughing, you're learning. I can help you understand where your struggles come from, and I'll give you real steps you can take to reach your goals.
I'm confident I can help you work through whatever you're dealing with right now.
