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.

Dr. Brittany Mathews
Psychologist, PhD, LP, APIT
Evidence-Based Psychology Services for Children, Teens, and Young Adults with Anxiety and Depression.
As a licensed psychologist, I am dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based therapy to adolescents struggling with anxiety and depression. I am passionate about helping young people navigate the complexities of their emotions, build resilience, and develop a sense of agency in their lives. Through a thoughtful combination of research-backed therapeutic strategies and mindfulness techniques, I empower adolescents and young adults to create meaningful change in their mental health.
With a strong commitment to evidence-based practices, my goal is to not only alleviate the symptoms of anxiety and depression but also to help adolescents gain lasting skills for emotional and psychological well-being. By combining modern therapeutic techniques with mindfulness and compassion, I help my clients find relief from their symptoms, build resilience, and develop the confidence to face life's challenges.

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.

Paul W Anderson, PhD
Psychologist, Licensed counseling psychologist, Licensed Addictions counselor, PsyPact
I meet clients with compassion and a skilled, experienced intellect focused on helping you find lasting solutions quickly. I provide a safe and understanding space free of judgement. I won't waste your time or money, but I also want to take the time in the first sessions to get to know you and your situation well enough so that when we begin to apply solutions, they are strategic, effective and bring you lasting relief from your pain and concerns.
I enjoy doing counseling. I've been in private practice as a licensed doctoral psychologist for many years. I also understand the therapy process from having used counseling for myself. Give me a call and let see if I am a good fit for you and the situation you want help with.
