Kristen Tarquin
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
People seek therapy for many different reasons. Often it begins with a sense that something feels harder than it should, or that stress and pressure have started to build in ways that are difficult to manage alone.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or stretched too thin, therapy can provide a steady hand to guide you and a grounded space to move forward with clarity and confidence.

Beth Janis
Psychologist, Ph.D.
**My practice is currently at full capacity. If you'd like to connect to discuss possibly being added to my waitlist, please feel free to reach out.**
Life can be full of difficult moments, unexpected transitions, and painful relationships. They may leave you feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or as though you’ve lost who you are. You may be finding yourself resorting back to old patterns during times of stress, even if those patterns no longer serve you well. Although you may be feeling stuck, you’re sure that you want things to change. Together, we can walk through your experiences side by side. You deserve a space in which you feel heard and supported, and where we can work towards gaining a deeper understanding of yourself, your experiences, and your relationships.
Clients come to me seeking a therapist who is warm, understanding, and accepting. I always strive to meet you where you are - to follow your pace, to assist you in identifying and navigating the places you feel stuck, and to collaborate with you on moving toward the goals that are important to you.
As a licensed clinical psychologist with extensive experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults, I tailor my approach to fit your current needs, as well as your unique strengths and concerns. You don't have to keep going through this alone. Contact me for a free 15-minute consultation to determine if we could be a good fit.

Centers for Counseling and Wellness, Int'l
Psychologist, PhD
I started CCW International because I knew there was a gap. Women were struggling in silence. Veterans were coming home carrying weight that no one around them could quite understand. And the mental health world was not always showing up for them the way they deserved.
I have been in both worlds. As a U.S. Army veteran and a licensed psychologist, I know what it feels like to be strong for everyone else while quietly wondering who is going to be strong for you. That lived experience shaped everything about how we show up for our clients.
At CCW International, we do not just treat symptoms. We see the whole person. We ask about your story. We honor your service, your sacrifices, and your resilience. And we walk with you as you find your way back to yourself.
Our team is made up of clinicians who genuinely care, who bring both clinical expertise and human warmth to every session. We specialize in trauma recovery, resilience-building, and evidence-based care designed specifically for women, veterans, and military families.
If you have been waiting for a sign that it is okay to ask for help, this is it. We are here. And we are ready when you are.

Eileen Griffin
Psychologist, PsyD
Welcome! I work with adults who are ready to look beneath the surface and understand what’s really driving their struggles. I’m particularly drawn to the complicated places where old experiences show up in current relationships, self-doubt, anxiety, grief, or the ways we protect ourselves.
I believe therapy should be a place where you can be honest without having to perform, explain everything perfectly, or make your pain more palatable. We’ll take your experience seriously while also being willing to question the stories you’ve been carrying about yourself.
The work can be challenging. It can also be surprisingly relieving to finally have somewhere to put all of it.

Aysha Wells
Counselor/Therapist, LGPC
I believe therapy begins with feeling seen, heard, and accepted. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative, creating a space where you can be your authentic self without judgment. I believe deeply in the connection between mental, emotional, and physical well-being, and I incorporate CBT, mindfulness, self-compassion, and values-based work to help clients better understand themselves and navigate anxiety, depression, relationships, and life transitions. My hope is to help you build a healthier relationship with yourself, practice greater self-compassion, and feel more confident moving toward a life that feels meaningful and aligned with who you are.

Tam Nguyen-Louie
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I take a multicultural approach to resolving past, present, and family of origin issues impacting you. I focus on adults struggling with depression, anxiety, OCD, and trauma. I am passionate about treating the whole individual, not just your "symptoms" by incorporating culture, identity, upbringing, and other past experiences. I work to treat the root causes of your distress, not just apply a bandaid.

Nancy Hayes-Gary, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, MD , Psy.D.
I have been a psychologist in trauma work for many years, thus I can tailor my approach to meet your needs. Different ages and developmental stages throughout the life span require differing approaches. People generally wait to start therapy until their symptoms are really bothersome. I am currently accepting new patients, with no waiting list.
