Natalie A Shafer
Counselor/Therapist, MA, NCC, LPC
At the core of my work is the belief that past and present relationships play a powerful role in shaping who we are. Therapy offers a unique opportunity to experience a different kind of relationship: one grounded in empathy, curiosity, and respect, where meaningful growth can begin.

Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
I have a passion for helping clients reduce anxiety, stress, confusion, sadness, and pain - so that they can live more fulfilling, authentic, and happy lives. Many of my clients have stated that coming to therapy has helped to catapult them out of their stagnation - enabling them to reach their full potential. For clients who have had difficulty finding a therapist who can understand their complex and intersecting identities, I can be a breath of fresh air. I work with folks ages 15 and up.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
I believe that psychotherapy offers you an opportunity to examine your life story and in the process, gain new perspective and insight to re-write it and create a new narrative. While you may come to therapy with a problem to explore and address, I will also help you identify your personal character strengths and ways to nurture them, in order to support your personal growth and achieve your goals. I am a warm and supportive psychotherapist with an eclectic therapuetic approach, using both Western evidence based interventions as well as Eastern treatment approaches to help promote your healing and growth. I believe that collaboration, openness, curiosity and humor are key ingredients to a successful therapeutic experience. Psychotherapy is an adventure and I look forward to walking by your side on your chosen journey.

Join the Rebellion (JTR23 Inc)
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, stress, or uncertainty about the future start to take over. I specialize in helping men, young professionals, and veterans navigate the complex challenges of modern life—including identity, purpose, relationships, and emotional regulation.
I am Damon Neely, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and I provide online therapy for adults across multiple states who are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, and life transitions. My practice focuses particularly on men’s mental health, helping clients address issues such as perfectionism, low self-worth, anger, relationship conflict, and the pressures associated with modern masculinity.
Many of my clients are men who appear successful on the outside but internally feel stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about their direction in life. Therapy provides a confidential and non-judgmental space where we can explore the deeper patterns that influence your thoughts, emotions, and behavior.
As a veteran therapist, I also enjoy working with military members and veterans navigating the transition from service to civilian life. These experiences often involve identity shifts, relationship adjustments, and the search for renewed purpose.
My approach to therapy is integrative and evidence-based, drawing from several therapeutic models including:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Existential Therapy
Person-Centered Therapy
Psychodynamic Therapy
Solution-Focused Therapy
Family Systems Theory
While techniques are helpful, the most important factor in therapy is the therapeutic relationship. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, challenged in a healthy way, and empowered to develop greater self-awareness.
In our work together we may explore topics such as:
• Anxiety and chronic stress
• Depression and emotional numbness
• Identity and life purpose
• Masculinity and role expectations
• Anger management and emotional regulation
• Relationship and communication issues
• Fatherhood and family dynamics
• Self-worth and confidence
• Personal meaning and life direction
My work is heavily influenced by existential psychology, which focuses on helping individuals create meaning, develop authenticity, and align their lives with their deepest values.
Many clients come to therapy believing something is “wrong” with them. Often the real issue is that they have never had the space to examine their experiences, beliefs, and emotions in a supportive environment.
Therapy can help you gain clarity, challenge limiting narratives, and develop the insight necessary to create meaningful change.
If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next step, therapy can help you reconnect with your values, purpose, and direction.
