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.

Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
Do you constantly feel like you're never good enough? Do you feel like you compare yourself to other people and think they're so much better looking or smarter than you? Do you feel like you have to wear a mask and pretend you're someone you're not just to get people to like you, not leave you, or reject you? If you said 'yes' to any or all of these questions, you've come to the right place. These are common signs of perfectionism and people-pleasing, my specialty! If you're ready to roll up your sleeves and put in the work to find and use your voice to share your opinions and needs, feel safe being vulnerable so you can deepen your emotional connections, and learn how to compassionately hold yourself accountable when you make a mistake, this can be your reality with the scientifically based tools you'll learn with me as your guide. I'd love to hear from you- reach out by sending me a message through my profile on here so we can talk about next steps for working together.

Kate Winderman
Psychologist, Ph.D., LP
From the outside, people might think you have it all together. But on the inside, it's a different story. Maybe you feel like your mind is a never ending loop of obsessive and anxious thoughts. Perhaps you feel completely stuck and a romantic relationship that is no longer serving you in its current state, and don't know how to fix it. Maybe you have noticed something isn't working well in your sex life, but feel too ashamed or embarrassed to know how to address it. Maybe you're a queer person, and need an affirming space to process your experience. Perhaps your history of trauma is holding you back from the life you want to live. Or maybe you just feel completely overwhelmed with all the responsibilities you carry, and just need a safe place to set down some of your mental load.
My hope is that if any of these resonate with you, you will reach out. Together, we can explore the issues that are currently bothering you by unpacking things at your own pace. Therapy with a non-judgmental, safe, and validating therapist can be a huge help in tackling life's difficulties. Your most authentic self is welcome here.

Karen Hammack
Psychologist, Ph.D.
With over 17 years of experience, I offer treatment that focuses on building empathy, understanding, and acceptance, whether towards yourself, your children, or your partner. I am trained to work across the lifespan, including adults (from young to older), using evidence based therapeutic practices. In this way, we create space for healing, understanding, and for brainstorming solutions. I use evidence based therapies (Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy for couples) to nurture healing and growth. This includes treatment for depression, anxiety, and trauma. Specialty areas include women's and maternal mental health across the lifespan, issues in fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, loss, as well as menopause, mid-life, or empty nest issues. I also frequently work with those with chronic or terminal medical conditions.
