Nick Sotor
Psychologist, PsyD
Sculpting meaning from our lives can be challenging especially during difficult times. I am a licensed clinical Psychologist who provides evidence-based therapies including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy, and am a Linehan Board Certified clinician with an expertise in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I have an expertise treating a wide range of mental disorders with a specific focus on problems of emotional dysregulation including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and personality disorders.
I strive to understand individuals within the larger context of their lives rather than focusing on simplistic diagnoses or labels. This stance allows me to practice psychotherapy in a genuine, relational, and compassionate way while at the same time while remaining firmly rooted in theory and providing treatments that have been shown to work.
My style is direct, thoughtful, and often irreverent. I value a strong therapeutic relationship and aim to be honest and open in treatment to encourage direct communication and help co-create a therapeutic space that feels validating, safe, and helpful.

Kathy Pflederer
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor, B.S.Nursing, MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling,
I believe therapy is a place where you can slow down, feel truly heard, and begin making sense of the patterns, experiences, and emotions that may be keeping you stuck. My approach is warm, compassionate, and practical, and I draw from evidence-based approaches while honoring each person’s values, faith, and unique story. Together, we’ll work toward greater self-understanding, healthier relationships, and a life that feels more aligned with who you want to be.

Natalie A Shafer
Counselor/Therapist, MA, NCC, LPC
At the core of my work is the belief that past and present relationships play a powerful role in shaping who we are. Therapy offers a unique opportunity to experience a different kind of relationship: one grounded in empathy, curiosity, and respect, where meaningful growth can begin.

Dr. Monika Sharma
Psychologist, PsyD
I specialize in helping clients through burnout, disconnection, and feelings of anxiety, apathy, and "not enough." This often happens when we're trying to do all the things for all the people (at work and/or at home) while slowly abandoning ourselves. Burnout is often felt in midlife but can hit us at any age because, let's face it, life seems to feel more and more demanding.
I also help clients with ADHD and executive functioning. This may look like procrastination, perfectionism, distraction, overwhelm, difficulty setting goals and organizing tasks, challenges with time management, and avoidance.
Finally, I'm a single mom by choice and know how daunting this option can feel like for single women considering this for themselves. I can be a partner and help you navigate the exploration process, the trying journey, and the living-it experience as a solo parent by choice. You don't have to do this alone.

Mary Vanderplow
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I have the expertise to help clients find their way to a life that doesn't revolve around food, weight, and appearance. There is a path to recovery for every individual and I take the time to get to know each and every client and give them the personal care they need and deserve. It is important to me that my clients don't feel like a number, that each client feels seen, heard, and validated through the therapeutic process.

Angela Nguyen
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I received my M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy at Regis University in Denver, and my B.S. in Psychology at Portland State University. I thrive off of working with couples specifically, but I also have experience working with trauma, mental health disorders (e.g. Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder), and adolescents. The work I've had the privilege to be a part of and witness stunning growth is exactly the reason why I've chosen this field. It's honestly quite beautiful watching people blossom into their most secure, loving selves. I'd like to help contribute in that evolution, but also bear witness to your story as well.
