Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
I have been a therapist for many years and in many settings. In describing my practice to prospective clients, I like them to know that we work in three intersecting and overlapping domains-present, past and process. In the present, we focus on how you are able to care for yourself and for others, cultivate relationships with self and other in ways that are enriching and not depleting. Using the past, we can come to understand how you show up in relationships, as informed by patterns laid out in your family of origin but in the hopes that you can come to understand and then do differently if you want, rather than acting from a place of default and habit. And finally, we can use process therapies such as EMDR and Deep Brain Reorienting, to help you truly process and move past your past experiences and help you to shed the weight of past trauma. I use a pragmatic and interactive style to collaborate with clients to assist them in choosing the therapeutic path that fits best for them. Therapy is about healing and I value using trusted and effective approaches to help you reach your goals in therapy in a timely way that allows you to move on from our relationship into living your life fully and completely. I offer a free, 30-minute initial consult call so we can connect and see how we might be a good fit. Email me to schedule that today!

Brad Croyle
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
We all experience problems in life. Therapy can help address your issues to create a happier, meaningful and fulfilling life. People seek therapy for many reasons including depression, anxiety, past trauma, overwhelming emotions, difficult life transitions, feeling stuck, relationship, and family issues, and other mental health issues. We can work to resolve issues, reduce stress, and move on. No issue is too small or too big. Therapy offers the opportunity to learn about oneself, access your inner strength and lead the fulfilling life that you want. We can work to meet your needs in a warm, supportive and caring environment.
During our sessions we will explore current and past problems to find the source of what is keeping you stuck or unhappy. Together we will break unhealthy patterns and resolve underlying issues that are keeping you from living your best life. I will be your guide making sure that you are on your path to restore your joy and go where you want to go in life.
I use EMDR and Holistic methods to build hope, resilience, and insight. I help clients explore their struggles, recognize their strengths and increase self-awareness in a safe, non-judgmental and supportive space. I believe that we can resolve your problems and re-define who you are today. You can move beyond your past and can get your life back.

Are you a high achiever who often feels overwhelmed and frustrated? Do you struggle with managing your time effectively and find yourself procrastinating? Even though it may seem like you have everything under control, inside, you're hard on yourself and feel disappointed. You might lack confidence and frequently second-guess your decisions. I work with high achievers and professionals who want to set better boundaries, build confidence, and elevate their careers to the next level.

James Parker
Psychologist, PhD
I view therapy as a collaborative interaction in service of understanding the best forms of quality human relating. My approach to therapy is primarily guided by Coherence Therapy. Coherence Therapy is an approach to treatment that is different from many others in that - instead of focusing on what is "negative" or "wrong" and trying to change or alter it - the purpose is to genuinely understand a person's symptoms; to curiously explore why maintaining certain patterns of thinking and behavior is emotionally necessary, even when a person is feeling stuck because of those patterns. Understanding the symptom leads to identifying the underlying emotional reasons of why we do things and addresses the cause of feeling stuck, not just the symptom, which leads to meaningful and lasting changes.
