Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In the intricate tapestry of our lives, the pursuit of happiness, safety, and love is a universal quest. Yet, for many, the journey toward emotional wellness is fraught with challenges beyond their control. Trauma, familial history, and the burdens of life can cast shadows that obscure life's inherent beauty. I believe that each individual deserves to uncover, rediscover, and reclaim life's joy and purpose.
As a compassionate and dedicated psychoanalytical therapist, I aim to guide you through this transformative process with warmth and understanding. Through welcoming and conversational counseling services, I aim to create a space where you can explore the intricate connections between your mind, body, and spirit. This holistic approach seeks to assist you in reconnecting with your higher purpose, allowing you to navigate life unburdened by emotional pain.

Amanda Etienne
Psychologist, Psy.D
If you're a woman who's spent years doing everything "right," (achieving, handling, holding it together...) you may have noticed that success didn't fill the gap you thought it would. I work with capable, high-achieving women who are realizing they want more than functioning: they want to actually know themselves, and to let the people in their life know them too.
Many of my clients grew up being told they were "too sensitive" or "too much." I believe sensitivity isn't the problem to manage away - it's a strength that got mislabeled, and often the very thing that makes deep connection possible. Together, we slow down enough to build a real relationship with yourself, not just a polished explanation of yourself.
I offer virtual therapy across Colorado, Washington, and all PSYPACT states, specializing in anxiety, perfectionism, and relational and sexual trauma. If you're ready to stop managing your sensitivity and start using it, I'd love to talk.

Dr. Sarah Pouliot
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Psychotherapy is most effective when two people (therapist and client) work together to develop a type of therapeutic relationship that not only seeks to make sense of unfolding dynamics but also provides a safe place from which to explore both the known and unknown. In other words, psychotherapy or counseling should offer a meaningful experience, offering new ways of being, relating, and experiencing. Lasting change becomes possible when we are able to find and apply new ways of thinking and feeling about ourselves and others - new ways of relating or responding to the world in which we live and engage.

Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
You're good at what you do. You're that friend or family member that people reach out to for advice. You are the one that keeps things running for everyone else. And yet, you are reaching burnout, putting up with an inner critic that constantly questions whether everything you do is enough. If you are looking to build a more sustainable relationship with your work, connect with me. I support high-achieving professionals navigating imposter syndrome, burnout, and work/life balance.
Many of my clients are first-generation professionals, or professionals at multilateral development orgs (e.g., the World Bank, IDB, IMF) and the government, facing career disruption. I work with late-diagnosed ADHD, autistic, and OCD adults exhausted from masking and ready to understand themselves without pathologizing who they are.
I believe clear goals and measurable progress are a form of respect for your time and your struggle. That's why I offer structure and a goal-oriented framework through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches, delivered entirely through secure video sessions. As an immigrant and first-generation professional myself, I offer a space to build genuine self-understanding, practical skills, and the confidence to advocate for yourself, in English or Spanish, wherever you are.

Wayne G. Siegel, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, Clinical Psychology
I have over 34 years of experience working as a clinical psychologist. The bulk of my career was spent at the Minneapolis VA Health Care System, where I provided comprehensive, evidence-based psychological assessment and intervention for a range of mental health difficulties, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, substance use, sleep, chronic pain, personality disorders, and psychosis. In addition to my clinical work, I served as the overall Director of Training for the APA-accredited doctoral internship and postdoctoral residency training programs. Throughout my tenure in this position, I have had the honor of providing clinical supervision and mentorship to over 300 psychology interns and postdoctoral residents.
Since retiring from my position at the VA, I have continued to…
- Maintain a private practice providing individual psychotherapy and psychological assessment
- Serve in several volunteer leadership roles involved in the national management and coordination of psychology training and education and the overall profession of psychology
- Serve on the Minnesota Board of Law Examiners
- Serve as an adjunct professor at the University of Minnesota's Clinical Psychology Doctoral Program
- Teach graduate-level courses at local psychology doctoral programs
On a more personal note, I have a passion for travel and the thrill of discovering new culinary adventures and restaurants. Cooking, art, and photography are creative outlets that I cherish, along with a love for nature and outdoor activities. My commitment to health and an active lifestyle is evident in my lifelong engagement with endurance sports, including marathon running, cycling, ironman triathlons, and hiking. These activities not only challenge me physically but also provide a strong sense of accomplishment and joy.
My practice is anchored in the belief that my clients are more than just their symptoms or diagnoses. I collaborate closely with them to thoroughly understand their unique struggles and customize a treatment approach that utilizes proven methods to address their specific needs. My objective is to apply my years of knowledge and expertise to every individual I assist.
I have extensive experience working with adults from diverse ethnic, racial, gender, sexual, and religious backgrounds. Additionally, I have developed specialized skills to address the unique challenges faced by healthcare professionals.
