Amber Pfeiffer
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, ARNP, PMHNP-BC
I work with my clients to develop self-compassion, increased self-esteem, resilience to stress, encouragement during times of high stress or low motivation, better time-management, & adaptation to transitions such as starting college or a new nursing job. I find clients have excellent progress applying the practice of mind-body skills & guided imagery, especially when processing trauma, grief, or exploring attachment patterns developed in childhood.
I believe there is a place for medications, and they help many people, I also understand that many people do not benefit from medications. I can help clients reduce their alcohol intake and safely taper off of benzodiazepines and other medications.
By taking a proactive, individualized approach to your care, we can work together to develop a plan tailored to your personal goals. Clients tell me they "feel much better" after our sessions, that I am "very responsive", & they like my "vibe".

Emem Itiat
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
I believe in the power of healing through promoting self-awareness, autonomy and empowerment, and also in people's strength to move towards change. Though suffering is a part of life, something that all humans share, working to manifest helpful and sustainable coping mechanisms, and skills that will work to serve you long term makes a difference in the quality of life a person experiences. I work from a Health at Every Size (HAES) and humanist framework, observing individuals as a whole, and when it comes to the war against body discrimination and terrorism, I believe in working to enhance radical acceptance through promoting self-contentment, end weight discrimination by identifying the underlying and overlying systems of oppression, dismantling those systems, and working against the cultural obsession with diet culture, and the pursuit of thinness and perfection. I believe in concepts such as radical self-love, self-trust, self-awareness, radical-acceptance, freedom, agency, self-compassion, and self-actualization to help guide individuals to fulfill their potential and maximize their wellbeing.

Nefertiti Nowell
Therapist, Dr.
While a person can feel better after a good talk with a friend or relative, for moderate or severe emotional distress, this relief is only temporary. Talking with a trained listener helps alleviate emotional distress for good. The clinicians in our practice are trained and ready to help you.
