I am a legally-blind counselor who listens carefully to client's needs to determine what works and what may not be effective. A collaborative approach is used to meet your needs.

Juliette Grantham
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Through depth therapy, I create space for self-discovery, integration, and healing that moves beyond coping and surface-level solutions to address the root sources of anxiety, depression, and persistent difficulties. Psychoanalytic work can help you understand unconscious patterns, inner conflicts, and how life experiences influence your sense of self, perspective, and ways of being. Exploration is deep, wide-ranging, and open-ended, extending across all aspects and times of life. It proceeds from the idea that our symptoms and struggles stem from an unconscious logic, which we can learn to listen to and gradually untie — freeing ourselves to live in new ways that feel more aligned, resonant, and vital.

Rachel Miller
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a PhD and the founder of Hold the Vision Therapy. I’m a direct, engaged therapist so if you’re looking for someone who will actively work with you to understand and shift the patterns that are getting in the way of your relationships or personal growth, we’ll likely be a good fit.

Emily Blitz
Psychologist, PsyD
Welcome! For me, this work is deeply relational in nature, as I find a steady, trusting relationship to be central for deeper exploration. Together, we can attend to both immediate concerns and deeper themes such as emotional experiences, attachment styles, and family-of-origin dynamics. I offer a warm, steady presence alongside attuned and practical feedback, supporting meaningful insight that can lead to lasting change. Online therapy offers us a wonderful opportunity to engage in this work from the comfort of your own space, while also offering flexibility when needed. Moves, new jobs, or growing families - our work can remain an anchor through the change. If you'd like to discuss working together, please reach out for a free consultation.
