Dr. Ruth Viehoff
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP
Hello, I'm Dr. Ruth Viehoff, and it's a pleasure to virtually meet you! My practice is geared towards gen Z and millennial clients who struggle with anxiety, worry, perfectionism, and ADHD. My clients are often college students, graduate students, or are early in their careers as high-powered professionals. I have experience working with physicians and other medical professionals, engineers, high-stress business professionals, and lawyers. Often my clients over-schedule, over-optimize, and feel like they are working so hard to keep things in order in their lives. To other people, it may appear that you have it all together, but they don't see your internal struggle, your sense of overwhelm, and your hope that you will finally get a grasp on things tomorrow. Often my clients rely on achievement and external forms of validation and praise to feel like they are doing enough. They struggle to internally approve of themselves and their efforts. In therapy, I help my clients to cultivate self-compassion, re-evaluate and replace unhealthy personal standards, and increase attention to their own internal wants, needs, and opinions. Therapy is an opportunity to cultivate your own internal sense of knowing and increase your sense of agency in your own life. Reach out to me today to book a free consultation call!

Zachariah Crooks @ Inner Harmony
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CGT, ACHT
Do you feel caught in anxiety, painful relationship patterns, or the habit of putting everyone else's needs ahead of your own? I help adults explore how past experiences affect their lives today and work toward stronger boundaries, greater self-trust, and more fulfilling relationships. My style is warm and direct, combining supportive listening with gentle challenge. Together, we choose approaches that fit your goals, including holistic counseling, Gestalt therapy, and optional heart-centered hypnotherapy, to explore both what helps you cope now and the deeper patterns you want to change. Contact me to discuss what you are looking for and whether we may be a good fit.

Amber Behrouzvaziri, Trauma, Attachment & Couples Therapist
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
You long for connection and intimacy, yet find yourself pulling back out of fear of losing yourself, being hurt, or repeating past painful relationship experiences. You want companionship that enhances your life and honors who you are, not relationships that require self-betrayal, overfunctioning, or twisting yourself into a pretzel to keep the peace.
I work with clients who are navigating the tension between closeness and independence. Together, we explore how to remain grounded in yourself while opening to meaningful connection. My approach supports you in gently examining the protective patterns that once helped you survive but may now be limiting intimacy, so you can relate from a place of greater self-trust, discernment, and emotional clarity.
As an attachment-based therapist, I help clients understand how early experiences and past relationships continue to shape how they show up in romantic connections today. I also integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed parts work and EMDR to support clients in processing relational trauma and strengthening their capacity to lean into connection while also knowing when it is wise to set boundaries or step away.

Stacy Lepley
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CBC
Choosing to step into therapy is a profound act of courage. If you are arriving here feeling fractured, exhausted by systemic pressures, or disconnected from your own sense of peace, I want to welcome you just as you are. I believe that therapy is an equal, sacred partnership built on radical warmth, deep safety, and authentic human connection. You are the ultimate expert on your own life history; my role is to walk beside you as a grounded, down-to-earth ally, providing the space and the tools you need to find your footing and heal.
My worldview as a counselor is shaped by a deep understanding of the delicate bridge between mind and body. True emotional wellness cannot exist in isolation. You are a whole person whose nervous system, thoughts, and daily stress levels are intimately tied to your unique biology, your past experiences, and the heavy social and economic realities you navigate every day. Because of this, I look at your story through a highly integrative lens. I don't believe in rigid, cold clinical boxes or passive, distant head-nodding. Instead, I bring my full, authentic self to our sessions, blending a gentle clinical perspective with an open heart and an interactive, highly collaborative style.
In our work together, we will move at a pace that feels entirely safe for you. Because everyone processes life and pain differently, I love using creative, visual, and somatic frameworks to help bring what is happening internally into the light, transforming overwhelming or abstract emotions into tangible, manageable steps. Together, we will gently explore the root causes of what is keeping you stuck, soothe your nervous system from old trauma or chronic burnout, and unpack the real-world burdens that demanding environments place on your mind. There is no judgment here—only a dedicated, compassionate space where you can quiet the noise of the world, honor your lived experience, and reclaim your personal agency to build a life of lasting peace and clarity.

Dr. Madelyn Satz
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Life is challenging. All of us will deal with difficulty at some point in our lives, and many of us will face repeated struggles. We have a hand in some of these troubles and others we have no control over. But we always have control over how we interpret events, how we relate to them, how we make sense of them, and what we do as a result. There is validity in whatever way we view our situation, but as a starting place, not the only place, and we can move through and beyond into a clearing of many more and better possibilities.
I have many tools and techniques and strategies to shift perspective from deeply painful to healing and expansion. Despite how vulnerable we are in life, there is also a great deal of thriving that is available to us - when we know how to harness it.
