Taking the step to seek support is a courageous move, and I want to applaud you for it. I know everyone has a different story, and I'm here to honor and respect yours. As your therapist, my focus is on creating a collaborative and caring space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions. In our sessions, we can delve into your experiences, tackle obstacles, discover fresh perspectives, and uncover the strengths within you. Being a black woman, I recognize the significance of your identity and am dedicated to honoring each person’s story.

Andre Lloyd
Counselor/Therapist, LCSW, MSW, CCATP, CTMH
I find a great importance in connecting with individuals who feel disconnected, ashamed, marginalized, or stigmatized. It is my responsibility to offer a safe, nonjudgmental, and open atmosphere for expression. We often feel certain subjects/experiences are not to be acknowledged or discussed. I welcome those challenging subjects/experiences to be expressed at my practice.

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.

Robert Lewis Bozard
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, PhD, MDiv, LCMHC, LPC
Helping Men is the specialized focus of my practice, and I also see couples. Anxiety, relationships, sexual issues, depression, life transitions, porn/gaming/sexual addictions, young adults, anger, and infidelity are some of the concerns I frequently help clients to navigate. Men can sometimes feel awkward about seeking help, or feel that therapy isn't for them. I provide a nonjudgmental space to talk things out and work toward a better experience of life. I previously practiced in university-affiliated counseling centers and continue to enjoy working with students and young adults. For couples I practice the highly-researched Gottman Method, a proven approach to improving relationship quality and satisfaction.

Molly Halbrooks
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT
Good therapy is a partnership between you and your therapist. I often work with those who have previously been in therapy and have felt stuck; my approach is active and helps you move beyond cognitive understanding to actually feeling better. You are a unique individual with unique life experiences and I meet you right where you are and work with you to determine how to move forward as your healthiest, most fulfilled self.
