Debra Nelson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I understand that your life is complex and there are various demands and expectations at different life stages that can be impacted by situational and mental health struggles. It's important to be mindful of the interaction between those demands and your stage of life.
My experiences are diverse. I have worked for over twenty years with individuals, couples, and groups across the lifespan and socioeconomic spectrum by providing a range of clinical services including assessment, consultation, and psychotherapy. I know how challenging asking for help can be and I strive to work collaboratively with clients, both validating your feelings and experiences while helping you to uncover patterns and obstacles that are holding you back from reaching your goals.
I seek to provide treatment in an integrative way, utilizing Solution-Focused, Interpersonal, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Using these modalities we will focus not just on difficulties, but on areas of strength and positive coping mechanisms. As part of my work, I am always happy to collaborate with medical doctors, attorneys, in-home therapeutic teams, and school systems to ensure that all providers working with you or your family are in sync with the goals you are striving to achieve.

Know Thyself Healing & Therapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, LPCC, LGSW
Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, family changes, or emotional struggles that leave them feeling stuck or unsure of themselves. If you’ve been carrying these challenges on your own, you’re not alone.
As both a therapist and the founder of Know Thyself Healing & Therapy, I believe healing happens in safe, honest, and supportive relationships. My own journey—through adoption, trauma, parenting a child with mental health challenges, divorce, remarriage, and spiritual growth—deeply informs the way I show up for clients with compassion, understanding, and respect.
While I work directly with many clients, I also lead a team of dedicated clinicians who share this same commitment. Together, we create a space where you can feel truly seen, build insight, and develop the skills needed to move forward. Whether you work with me or another member of our team, our goal is the same: to help you reconnect with your strengths and create meaningful, lasting change.

Ema Thoen
Psychologist, Student Intern, LPCC candidate
Hi! I’m Ema (pronounced like Emma) (she/they) - and I'm so glad you’re here.
Have you ever felt like you don’t quite belong in life? Do feelings of being overwhelmed, anxious, ungrounded, or unmotivated sometimes take over? These are all normal human emotions, and I am dedicated to understanding the “why” behind them. I believe those uncomfortable feelings and moments are here to communicate important messages to us.
Having an affinity for the unconventional, I value the unique strengths and differences that shape who we are. As a late-diagnosed neurodivergent human and someone who developed an invisible physical disability later in life, I understand the challenges of navigating a world not designed with differences in mind. My background as a maker and creator—rooted in multidisciplinary fine arts, teaching, and supporting non-profit communities—informs how I foster a safe, creative, and inspiring space for therapy. I aim to build a genuine, collaborative partnership where you feel understood, empowered, and curious to explore new ways of being. I approach this work with compassion and an integrative mindset, celebrating your individuality while supporting resilience in the face of life’s challenges. I have a heartfelt interest in working with late-diagnosed neurodivergent individuals, as well as those experiencing anxiety, panic, depression, and life transitions.
With a deep commitment to disability advocacy, accessibility, inclusion, and safety, these values guide the foundations of my practice. For transparency, I am accompanied by my mobility assistance service dog during in-person sessions, as part of my own accessibility needs.
I am currently under the supervision of Taylor Ryan (Baez), working towards my LPCC licensure. I would love to meet you for a 15-minute consultation!

Peter Hoistad
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, LADC
I have experience working with a very diverse set of individuals over the course of my career in the mental health field. Most individuals I work with struggle with issues that are considered dual diagnosis, or individuals that struggle with both mental health and substance use issues. I have experience working with all different ages, ethnicities, sexual orientation, mental health issues, and substance use preferences. I also come from a lens of years of lived experiences and being able to offer a lens of "coming out the other side." I provide an empathetic atmosphere that is goal orientated, and comes from an unbiased lens.
