Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
If you’re here, there’s a good chance you’ve been holding it all together for way too long—and it’s starting to show. You might look high-functioning on the outside, but inside? You’re anxious, exhausted, and stuck in your own head. Maybe you can’t sleep. Maybe your boundaries have disappeared. Maybe you’ve hit that point where “fine” just doesn’t cut it anymore.
I’m Dr. Gayle MacBride, a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of experience—and I specialize in working with people like you: smart, capable, driven... and quietly running on empty. My clients don’t need another therapist who just nods and takes notes. They want straight talk, usable tools, and therapy that actually leads somewhere.
That’s why my approach starts with clarity and direction. Together, we define your goals (aka deliverables), then get to work using evidence-based therapies like CBT, CBT-I for insomnia, Prolonged Exposure and CPT for trauma, and the Gottman Method or Discernment Counseling for relationship issues.
I offer telehealth therapy through my private practice, so you can access meaningful support with flexibility and convenience—without giving up the personal connection.
If you’re ready to stop white-knuckling your way through life and start making real, lasting change, I’m here. Let’s define your deliverables and get to work.

Sara Smith
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
“The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago, the second-best time is today!” It is both a passion and a privilege to be invited into people's lives and relationships, and to help them become better versions of themselves and better connected to themselves and those they love. I work with couples who feel disconnected in their relationships to help them find their way back to each other. I also help individuals who are in a difficult season of life find their way back to themselves.

Katherine Jones
Counselor/Therapist, ND, MA, LPC
As a Millennial or Gen Z woman, you may be grappling with questions about your identity and the meaning of life. Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or navigating through major life changes such as graduating from college, starting a new job, or embarking on a new relationship. You may have also received a recent ADHD diagnosis, and it turns out that all those years of suffering from irritability, poor concentration, low self-esteem, and indecision weren't just depression. Whether anxiety, life transitions, ADHD, depression, or all of the above are getting in the way of you feeling healthy, empowered, and resilient, therapy can help you live a more balanced life.

Cara Deininger
Psychologist, PhD
I specialize in women's mental health, including trauma, relationship issues, and perinatal mental health. Women are often expected to juggle countless responsibilities—careers, relationships, family, and societal expectations. The pressure to meet these demands can take a toll, leading to anxiety, depression, chronic stress, or a sense of losing oneself. I am passionate about supporting women who feel overwhelmed by societal expectations or major life changes, helping them regain a sense of balance, confidence, and self-compassion. I enjoy working with those seeking deeper self-understanding and lasting change, especially individuals who want to break longstanding relational patterns and build healthier, more fulfilling connections.
My approach is compassionate, nonjudgmental, and tailored to your unique needs. Together, we can work toward a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and fulfilling. Please do not hesitate to reach out for a free 15 minute consultation to discuss your therapy needs and goals.

Mike Kosim
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I have a really special place in my heart for couples. I know what it's like to reach for your partner and feel like they're not there. So many couples get hurt because they get triggered in their conversations and misunderstand the intent the other has for them. I help couples really slow down the conversation so that each of you can talk about the hurt, fear, or sadnesswhere you're stuck instead of attacking or running away from the disagreement.
When couples I work with are able to identify the emotional patterns that hijack their relationship and start to do things a different way, they start feeling like they're on the same page and change their relationship into one that spirals upward instead of down.

Matthew Syzdek
Psychologist, PhD, LP, MBA
If you feel burned out, unfulfilled in relationships, stuck in life, anxious, or down, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again.
