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.

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.

Sue De Santo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Have you ever felt like you were busy doing all the things you thought would bring you a happy life, yet felt alone and disconnected from yourself and others? These feelings are often when people turn to alcohol, drugs, food, shopping or relationships to try to create those feelings of happiness, contentment and joy. It can work for a short time however the key to moving forward is to understand the reasons we seek out these distractions. When we strengthen the relationship with ourselves, the outer world becomes much more balanced and fulfilling. In our work together, you’ll gain tools to care for your nervous system, set healthier boundaries, and create a more positive and sustainable way of living.

Relationships and Anxiety Specialist Cecilia Davis
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC
I'm passionate about helping women heal from childhood wounds and relational trauma. Most of my clients are in their mid 20's, 30's and 40's, feeling anxious and lost in relationships that don't feel fulfilling. Whether its romantic relationships, career and social relationships, or family of origin relationships, they feel like they are doing so much, giving so much but still don’t feel like any of it is enough. I see them struggle as they feel stuck feeling unfulfilled, anxious and overwhelmed, often in cycles of perfectionism, validation seeking, or people pleasing behaviors.
I therapy, I help women gain insight into the different parts within themselves (IFS) and guide them toward awareness of narratives that keep them stuck (Narrative Therapy). I facilitate the process of rewriting these narratives and develop once that lead to healing and empowerment. I help women become more attuned to their emotions (Somatic therapy and Mindfulness), their needs and their values (ACT) so that they can move through life feeling proud of themselves and the life they're living. Through this process, I’ve seen countless women become more calm and confident and start relationships that feel healthy and fulfilling.
