Everything - from working with teenagers who learn where to go with their lives to elderly adults who are just getting depressed because their spouses or many of their friends are gone, from those why are just trying to figure out what their gender identity is to those who deal with their gender dysphoria or a stigma surrounding it for many years, and from marital counselling to the parenting issues... and also many other things our providers specialize in. We work as a team of psychiatric and psychological providers, constantly discuss cases among our team to get other providers' input, and this system works very well for our patients.

Tracey Pearson-Heaney
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, LCPC
I am a calm, compassionate therapist. Over the past 12 years I have developed an understanding that being a therapist means much more than providing clients with the newest therapeutic approach. Therapy is the art of combining the intricate knowledge of a mental health diagnosis with the ability to guide clients toward a better understanding of themselves and their relationships. As a therapist my goal is to encourage clients to let go of what isn't working and adopt new skills that can improve the clients overall quality of life.

Alicia Polk
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, BC-TMH, CCTP-II
One of my greatest joys is to see my people growing, healing, and living their lives more fully. My people know better than anyone else what is right for them, which means it is crucial for me to work collaboratively with them. A core belief of mine is that healing from trauma should not require people to relive their traumas; I do not focus on trauma details in my work with people. I am neurodivergent (ADHD), have a neurodiverse family (ADHD, autism) and I welcome working with people who are also neurodivergent. Additionally, I am an ally of the LGBTQ community and have a child who is trans. In a world that so often feels unsafe and uncaring, I strive to provide a place of safety where people are heard, seen, and accepted.

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.
