Rizaldy R Ferrer
Psychologist, PHD
I’m a clinical psychologist who believes therapy works best when it feels thoughtful, collaborative, and genuinely human. I work with adults who may be navigating stress, life transitions, relationship difficulties, emotional patterns, questions of identity or direction, or simply a sense that something in their lives is no longer working as well as they would like.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based psychology, but I do not believe therapy should feel mechanical or overly clinical. I try to understand each person in the context of their experiences, relationships, values, and the ways they have learned to cope with life. Together, we look not only at what is difficult, but also at the patterns underneath those difficulties and the possibilities for responding differently.
I often help clients develop greater self-awareness, tolerate discomfort more effectively, challenge rigid or unhelpful ways of thinking, and make gradual changes that are realistic and sustainable. At the same time, I believe therapy is not simply about fixing problems. It can also be about understanding yourself more deeply, becoming more intentional in how you live, and creating a life that feels more aligned with what matters to you.
My practice is provided entirely through online therapy, allowing me to work with clients from the privacy and convenience of their own space. I currently provide teletherapy to clients in states where I am licensed or authorized to practice through PSYPACT.

James C. Carpenter, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, PhD (Clinical Psychology, Ohio State U), Board Certified in Clinical Psychology (ABPP), PSYPACT
My clinical experience is wide and deep. I estimate I have conducted about 90,000 hours of psychotherapy sessions, including many hours training and supervising other therapists. This experience covers many modes: individual therapy, as well as family, couple and group therapy. My basic orientation is existential and psychodynamic, but I have added much training and experience in other approaches on top of that over the years. I am Board Certified in Clinical Psychology, ABPP, have served 2 terms as a board director and secretary for the American Academy of Psychotherapy, and previously trained young clinical psychologists and psychiatric residents at the University of North Carolina. We keep learning more about how to be effective therapists, and I have aggressively added to my clinical wisdom. I stand ready to work to understand you deeply, and help you profoundly, whatever your current dilemmas.

Kirk Shelton
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I approach therapy as a practical and relational process rather than a set of techniques. People usually come in when long-standing ways of coping no longer fit their current life, even if those strategies once made sense. My work focuses on understanding how those patterns developed, how they continue to function, and how they can be reorganized in ways that support greater flexibility and self-direction. Change matters to me as it shows up in how a person lives, relates, and responds outside the therapy space.
