Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Hello there! Are you on the lookout for a caring and supportive counselor who truly listens and understands? Someone who can tailor a treatment plan to suit your unique needs? Whether you're aiming to improve your emotional well-being, overcome past challenges, or find balance in your life, you've come to the right place. I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families navigate through tough times, whether it's anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, low self-esteem, or struggles with addiction. I also take pride in connecting people, especially during times of isolation or significant life changes.
When you work with me, it's like embarking on a journey together. We start by understanding your situation through an assessment and then craft a treatment plan that's just for you. And don't worry about fitting sessions into your schedule—I offer flexible appointment options, including evenings.
My goal is simple: to ease your distress, enhance your well-being, and help you build stronger connections and a more fulfilling life. I'm genuinely passionate about mental and emotional health and find joy in helping you recognize your strengths and believe in yourself. While I only provide telehealth services, rest assured that your comfort, privacy, and safety are my top priorities.
Feel free to reach out by sending me a message. I look forward to getting to know you and join you on your journey toward positive growth and change!

Dr. Jake Johnson
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
My name is Jake Johnson and I am the founder of Bristlecone Therapy. I've been practicing marriage and family therapy (MFT) for over 15 years. I also work as a professor of MFT at Wheaton College, where I have taught for over a decade. In more recent years I've become a certified life coach, and I am currently the president-elect of the International Family Therapy Association.
On a personal note, I've been married for 15 years. I have four boys, ages 13 to 6. I love to travel, hike in the mountains and read fiction. I have done a whole bunch of my own therapy, spiritual direction, and personal and group retreats (as I deeply believe that if I am not healthy, then I certainly can't help my clients to be).

Orli Firestein
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Are you struggling to connect with others or feel alone? Perhaps this leads to frustration or alienation. Or maybe you find yourself frequently putting others' needs above your own, to the point where you feel run-down and emotionally exhausted. You may be facing a major life change or decision, either for yourself or for your family. In these situations, it can be challenging to tap into your own thoughts or cope with overwhelming emotions. It can be hard to know where to start, but you don't have to do it on your own!

Together, we will work to make intentional and sustainable changes.
