Meandering to Change, LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Hello! I see therapy as a casual conversation with a purpose. That purpose is to create an opportunity for you to explore your experiences, better understand yourself, and discover possibilities for change.
For more than 21 years, I have had the privilege of supporting people through challenges of all shapes and sizes. Some have names such as anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship difficulties. Others are simply parts of life that have become difficult, confusing, overwhelming, or no longer feel right. I don’t believe a problem needs to fit neatly into a diagnosis to deserve attention.
I believe each person comes to therapy with their own story, strengths, experiences, and understanding of the world. You are the expert on the life you’ve lived. I bring my clinical experience, curiosity, creativity, and a willingness to explore that life alongside you.
Change doesn’t always happen in a straight line. Sometimes we know exactly where we want to go, and sometimes figuring out the destination is part of the journey. Wherever you are when we meet, that’s where we’ll begin.

Nancy Hayes-Gary, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, MD , Psy.D.
I have been a psychologist in trauma work for many years, thus I can tailor my approach to meet your needs. Different ages and developmental stages throughout the life span require differing approaches. People generally wait to start therapy until their symptoms are really bothersome. I am currently accepting new patients, with no waiting list.

Marina Goldenberg
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC
Becoming a parent—or hoping to become one—can bring unexpected stress, grief, anxiety, and relationship strain. I support women, new mothers, and their partners navigating fertility struggles, loss, postpartum mood and anxiety challenges, and major life transitions. I also work with young adults in school and early career. My work is grounded in empathy and compassion, creating a nonjudgmental space where individuals and couples can feel seen, supported, and empowered to move forward together.

James C. Carpenter, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, PhD (Clinical Psychology, Ohio State U), Board Certified in Clinical Psychology (ABPP), PSYPACT
My clinical experience is wide and deep. I estimate I have conducted about 90,000 hours of psychotherapy sessions, including many hours training and supervising other therapists. This experience covers many modes: individual therapy, as well as family, couple and group therapy. My basic orientation is existential and psychodynamic, but I have added much training and experience in other approaches on top of that over the years. I am Board Certified in Clinical Psychology, ABPP, have served 2 terms as a board director and secretary for the American Academy of Psychotherapy, and previously trained young clinical psychologists and psychiatric residents at the University of North Carolina. We keep learning more about how to be effective therapists, and I have aggressively added to my clinical wisdom. I stand ready to work to understand you deeply, and help you profoundly, whatever your current dilemmas.
