Shelly Melroe
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Get in touch to schedule a free intro conversation!
I've had a wide range of work and life experiences before coming into therapy. I bring all of that to serve your need. I've stopped fragmenting myself into what I'm 'supposed to be' to do any particular job in favor of being all of me so I can support you being all of you - not treating you like a machine that needs to be fixed or optimized. Whatever you are experiencing developed naturally from life lived AND you can develop right on through to something more true to you.
Please contact me to set up a complimentary introductory session so you can get a feel for what it's like working with me. I look forward to hearing from you!

Asher Lipner
Psychologist, Ph.D., SRT
I believe good therapy is more than symptom management. It’s about helping people understand themselves more honestly, develop greater emotional awareness, and build a life that feels more grounded, connected, and authentic.
Many of the people I work with feel stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand — anxiety, shame, compulsive behaviors, emotional disconnection, relationship struggles, or cycles of secrecy and self-criticism. Often, these struggles are not simply about “bad habits” or lack of willpower, but about deeper emotional and relational dynamics that have never been fully understood or addressed.
My style is warm, direct, thoughtful, and engaged. I aim to create a space where people can speak openly about subjects that are difficult to discuss elsewhere, without feeling judged, dismissed, or reduced to a diagnosis. I believe meaningful therapy requires both compassion and honesty: the ability to understand pain without losing sight of accountability, growth, and change.
I have particular experience helping individuals and couples struggling with compulsive sexual behavior, pornography addiction, betrayal trauma, intimacy difficulties, anxiety, shame, and trauma-related issues. I also work extensively with clients from religious and culturally sensitive communities, where these struggles often carry additional layers of secrecy, fear, and isolation.
Therapy can help people move from surviving on autopilot toward living with greater clarity, presence, integrity, and connection — both to themselves and to the people they care about most.

Dr. Bridget Williams
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Here you are struggling and searching for help but overwhelmed with all the options. Let's start with a conversation. I am a licensed psychologist who works with adults (+18) virtually in all PSYPACT states. I am trained as a generalist, with a focus in trauma, women's issues, and perinatal mental health. Together we will explore aspects of your life - the thoughts, beliefs, and feelings - that are creating conflict and challenges. My goal in therapy is to facilitate a trusting atmosphere to empower, inspire, and challenge. Therapy is work. It is about identifying and unpacking beliefs about yourself, others, and the world that cause distress or no longer serve you. I bring a compassionate and curious approach to my work and support individuals as they give voice to their experiences.
Outside of my therapy practice, I am a distance runner, mom, and avid reader. I enjoy spending time in nature, going on adventures with my partner and children, and creating moments of joy in the kitchen either cooking or baking.

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.
