Riley Brennan
Marriage and Family Therapist, ALMFT
I am not afraid of your big feelings, intense conflict, or choices you aren't proud of. I hold space for what the rest of the world tries to keep in the closet. I provide an authentic, nonjudgmental space to explore how ingrained patterns have influenced your life and how you can move forward to live the life you want.

Jordan Specht
Marriage and Family Therapist, Intern in Couple and Family Therapy
Are you looking for help navigating relationship issues or sexual dissatisfaction? Do you need a space to safely process the trauma or deconstruct the unhelpful beliefs that hinder you from becoming your most authentic self? The world can feel heavy, and I am here to help you carry that weight. As a systemic therapist, I support my clients in identifying and healing unhealed wounds, understanding how intrapersonal and interpersonal dynamics interact, and fostering lifestyles that feel authentic rather than predetermined. All behavior makes sense in context, and I am happy to work alongside you to identify that context to facilitate not only your healing, but your thriving.

Sarah Farris
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, LPC
I am trained in evidence-based practices for the treatment of OCD, anxiety, panic and phobias, trichotillomania and skin picking (BFRBs), and athlete mental health. I provide a non-judgmental environment where you can address feelings of uncertainty, learn and implement new skills, and make meaningful changes in your life. Together, we will examine the challenges you are facing, set clear goals, and develop a plan to minimize the impact of stress and anxiety on your daily functioning. Building trust is fundamental to the therapeutic relationship, and I strive to meet individuals where they are at the start of therapy. My approach is goal-oriented, supportive, and collaborative.

Maggie Reynolds
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, EMDR Certified, NCC
With 15 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, I genuinely love being part of the moment when things start to shift, when you feel more grounded, more open, and more like yourself again. My goal is to create a space where you can show up as your whole self, and I’ll do the same. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who have already done therapy and want something that helps them break through old patterns and grow in a new direction.

Edward Alderson Rockwell Behavioral Health
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC
Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next step? Do you want to make a change but do not know where to start?
Maybe you’re carrying stress, frustration, anxiety, depression, or a sense that something in your life just isn’t lining up the way you hoped. Those feelings are completely human—and they’re also signs that you’re ready for support. You don’t have to sort them out alone. I specialize in supporting clients dealing with mood & anxiety disorders, couples therapy, including emotional, physical, and sexual intimacy issues, ADHD, and men's mental health issues. I also work closely with LGBTQ clients.
