Dr. Wayne Bullock
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd
Life is filled with challenges. We all approach these challenges in characteristic ways that are shaped by the life we have lived up until that moment. We learn how to respond to challenges based on what has been helpful in the past. As we grow and move through life, these ways of coping can become less advantageous. Sometimes we get stuck in our responses to stress, and this can exacerbate negative feelings. I can help you learn to notice these patterns, the ways they have helped, and the ways in which they no longer serve you. Together, we will work to create more options for you to respond to the challenges of life.

Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
In searching for a therapist, you are taking the first step in what could be the most important journey of your life. It is definitely possible to make important, lasting improvements in your life and levels of happiness, satisfaction, and success. Therapy is often an effective way to attain these goals. With almost 40 years of experience working as a counselor and then a psychologist, I am well-qualified to help you identify what is standing in the way of increased life satisfaction, and help you effectively work towards your goals. People often get stuck in old patterns that make them unhappy, want to change them, but don't know how. I work together with my clients to understand how old patterns in thought, feeling, and behavior got established, and then explore how best to change those patterns. I enjoy doing longer term, deeper work with clients, to create significant, meaningful, and lasting change. I often employ a holistic approach, exploring personal history, thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationship history and issues, as well as issues including medical history, self-care habits, and experiences of spirituality. I view the therapy relationship as a partnership, respecting the pace and timing that the client requires.

As a psychologist, I find joy and fulfillment getting to help people become the best versions of themselves. Whether it is working through conflicts in intimate relationships/families, religious trauma, eating/body image concerns, or exploring gender, neurodiversity, sexuality, or other areas of identity, I offer clients the unique experience of being seen, heard, and affirmed. Working from a place of collaboration and creativity, we will tailor your therapy experience to be one that meets or even exceeds your goals for self-improvement and inspires hope and growth in your personal life.

Richard Scott, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Life can be challenging. We don’t always find ourselves where we want to be or as happy as we would like. When that happens, therapy is an incredible tool to reflect on where you are and where you want to be. It is an honor and privilege to help my clients deal with their current circumstances and build healthier, happier lives. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if I can help you.
