Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
We often seek therapy because we are hurting and unhappy in our relationships with others and ourselves. Anxiety, sadness, restlessness, and loneliness are often the clues that we feel off-track. Whether you are new to it, or have been in it before, therapy presents the opportunity to invite a professional fellow human into your journey of meaningful living.
I provide evidence-based treatment for anxiety, relational, and trauma-related concerns for neurotypical and neurodivergent adults. I also work with individuals seeking to explore and understand their experiences of gender and sexuality. Our work begins with clarifying the nature of and sources of your concerns, setting a path forward, and working together to help you implement and maintain the changes you seek.

STW Counseling PLLC
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor
As someone in long term recovery, I try hard not to tell clients what to do. I believe clients have the answers to their issues and it's my job to help each client get to the answers they are seeking. I do not have a "one size fits all' philosophy and will use whatever therapy seems appropriate based upon the client's needs. I am very person centered which mean that if the client wishes to discuss the weather for an hour we will talk about the weather! I want to work on what the client wants to work on not what I want the client to work on.

Philip Gnilka
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, CPC, LPC, LCPC, CCMHC, NCC
Many of my clients beat themselves up after challenging days, have increased anxiety, and a lingering sense of self-criticism over minor mistakes. They constantly replay alternative scenarios which end up becoming an incessant loop, persisting for days or even weeks. Frustration grows as they struggle to shake off this self-critical mindset, fostering thoughts of inadequacy and impostor syndrome. Worries about disappointing others both professionally and personally contributes to exhaustion daily. Despite attempts by friends and family to offer support, the feeling of being truly understood remains elusive, deepening the overall sense of fatigue.
If you aspire to regain a sense of engagement in your life, pursue excellence in your career and personal life, experience love and support, and better manage stress and anxiety, these goals can be well within reach.
I collaborate with my clients in helping understand the driving forces behind their pursuit of achievement and instilling hope in the possibility of change. Together, we craft solutions that sustain high performance while transforming the self-critical inner dialogue into one of support. I assist my clients learn a set of tools designed to temper self-criticism and manage anxiety, paving the way to a more calmer and focused life.
If maintaining peak performance while navigating heightened anxiety and silencing that inner critic resonate with you, reach out for a complementary 15 minute session. Prior to transitioning into private practice, I spent over a decade as a tenured professor. Throughout this time, my research delved into perfectionism, anxiety, and stress management. I am enthusiastic about helping clients learn the knowledge and insights gained from this experience to guide you toward a more fulfilling, balanced life.
