Jennifer L Abel
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have spent decades devoted to specializing in the treatment of anxiety. Worried? I am an expert at treating generalized anxiety disorder (GAD; the worry disorder). I'm also great at treating panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), insomnia, phobias, work stress, performance anxiety, depression and social anxiety. But you can talk to me about anything. For a sample of what I do, check me out on YouTube.

Dr. Cayla Leung
Psychologist, PsyD
I aim to provide a safe and affirming space for clients to explore their relationship with themselves and others. I believe that excellent therapy starts with building a strong relationship so that you can feel supported in sitting in the discomfort of change; my biggest aim is to collaborate with you on constructing that relationship together.

Alicia Polk
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, BC-TMH, CCTP-II
You are doing hard and scary work as you search for a therapist. You want to find the right therapist for you and that is why I offer a free, no-obligation consultation where you can ask your questions and get an idea of what I'm like. As a neurodivergent person (ADHD) with a family that is entirely neurodivergent (half have ADHD, half are autistic), I enjoy working with neurodivergent clients. I am certified in treating both autism and ADHD. I also am certified in treating complex trauma and specialize in working with clients with Dissociative Identity Disorder and OSDD. In all cases, I like to focus on your strengths and I will work with you to find the skills and techniques that are the right solutions for your particular needs. I like to provide a lot of education along the way, so that you can understand what is happening, why it's happening, and so you can make informed decisions about your treatment. I am non-confrontational and like to partner with you to work toward your goals. Just like you are unique, my approach to treating you will be individualized. My approach is both attachment-informed and trauma-informed and evidence-based. Although we're often talking about difficult or painful topics, we can often find humorous moments and share a laugh that lightens the load. You can learn a lot more about me and my approach at my website.

Rachael Keyser, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
I believe that healing happens in the context of connection, understanding, and support. My practice is built on the foundation of meeting you where you are, without judgment, and helping you navigate life’s challenges with compassion and evidence-based care. As a licensed psychologist, I take a holistic approach, considering not just your symptoms but your relationships, environment, and overall well-being. Whether you’re an individual seeking clarity or a couple working through difficulties, I create a safe and affirming space where real change can happen.
Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about uncovering the strengths you already have and learning how to use them in ways that feel right for you. If you’re ready to start that journey, I would love to help. Contact me today, and let’s take the next step together.

Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
My approach to therapy is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of increasing self-awareness and coping skills to help promote the kind of changes that you would like to see. I believe that the quality of the therapist/client relationship is paramount to effective therapy. Because of this, I highly encourage you to choose a therapist that feels like a "good fit" for you. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about your background and reasons for seeking therapy, answer any questions you may have, and then plan together from there. Starting therapy can feel daunting or overwhelming for many people, so it is important that we work at a pace that feels comfortable to you.
