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.

Lisa Cleary
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your thoughts, or struggling in your relationships, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but feel anxious, drained, or disconnected underneath.
I help adults build healthier boundaries, strengthen their sense of self-worth, and work through the patterns that keep them feeling stuck. My approach goes beyond surface-level coping, offering a space where you can gain clarity, feel understood, and create meaningful, lasting change.
If you're ready to feel more confident in yourself and your relationships, I’d be honored to support you.

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.

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.
