Object Relations
Paul Sather
Psychologist, PhD
I work with people to help them be the best version of their Self. Whether we are working on anxiety, depression, relationship problems, addiction, spiritual issues, grief or trauma, etc, We usually begin with the initial phase of getting through the issue that got them through the door of my office. After that we work on the underlying issues that contributed to the struggles they are having. I focus on developing the skills of emotional management so that a person's emotions are coloring their life rather than running their life. We look at habitual patterns of interpreting their circumstances and familiar bodily states that are keeping them stuck. We concentrate on getting control of the things they can control and letting go of those they cannot control. We also address the habits of their internal critic and the ways they respond to those judgements with the goal of developing a peaceful life that is resilient to the difficulties that may come in the future.

Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that meaningful change begins with understanding—of ourselves, our patterns, and the biological and emotional systems that shape how we experience the world. I work with individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of concerns, integrating clinical experience, psychological insight, and education about how the brain and nervous system function under stress, trauma, and emotional strain.
Throughout my career in community mental health, private practice, medical settings, and teaching, I have worked with people facing complex emotional and relational challenges. These experiences have shaped a practical, compassionate, and direct style that focuses on helping clients understand why they feel and react the way they do, while developing concrete skills for change. I believe therapy is not only about symptom relief but about increasing self-awareness, emotional regulation, and the ability to navigate life with greater clarity and intention.
My work often includes helping clients understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and physiological responses. By learning how to regulate the nervous system and tolerate uncertainty, individuals can respond more thoughtfully rather than react automatically. I aim to create a collaborative and respectful therapeutic environment where clients feel safe to explore difficult experiences, retell their stories when needed, and move toward a stronger sense of stability and self-understanding.
Therapy is a process of growth, accountability, and compassion. Whether someone is navigating anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions, my goal is to help them build insight, resilience, and a more grounded sense of who they are and how they want to live.

Sarah Fandel
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LMHC, LCPC
Are you looking to better manage stress? To improve your self-esteem, relationships, or emotion regulation? To heal from trauma or loss? To move away from avoidance, people pleasing, perfectionism or other habits that hold you back? Whether you seek to work on a specific goal or to focus more generally on self-exploration and growth, I am happy you are considering working with me. I am confident that we all possess a deep capacity for healing, resiliency, and connection. I strive to continually learn from and integrate multi-faceted modalities and theories of counseling to provide therapy that aligns with your individual needs and goals.
I work with clients affected by depression; anxiety; systems of oppression, any form of trauma or abuse; life transition difficulties; emotion dysregulation; attachment and relationship concerns; disordered eating patterns, body image issues; obsessive compulsive tendencies; phobias; gender dysphoria; and identity concerns.

Beck Gardner
Pre-Licensed Professional, M.A.
I work alongside my clients to help them feel curious and gain understanding about the things they struggle with and themselves as people. My hope is that our collaborative effort to understand all of you will allow you to find solutions to the challenges you face in your own unique way. I know this can be a intimidating task; I try hard to help you feel supported in it, so you have the space to be curious about parts of yourself that might be hard to face alone.
