Alexis Smith
Pre-Licensed Professional, MHC-LP
What makes my practice unique is the way I integrate evidence-based care with a deeply collaborative, person-centered approach. I believe meaningful change happens when clients feel safe enough to be fully themselves, understood without judgment, and supported in a way that honors their autonomy, values, and lived experience.
I work from a place of curiosity, respect, and cultural sensitivity. I always meeting clients where they are and moving at a pace that feels safe and sustainable. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model, I tailor therapy using various modalities to fit each person’s needs, goals, and emotional experiences.
Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or unsure how to navigate what they are going through. My role is not to “fix” you, but to help you better understand yourself, your patterns, and your emotional world so that you can begin responding to life with more clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.
I also prioritize accessibility and convenience by offering fully virtual therapy, allowing you to access care from the comfort and privacy of your own space. With flexible scheduling, therapy can be integrated into your life in a way that feels realistic and supportive rather than overwhelming.
If you are looking for a therapeutic space where you can slow down, feel understood, and begin creating meaningful change that aligns with who you are and what matters to you, I would be honored to work with you.

Skye D Ross, EMDR Therapist for High Achieving Women
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C, MPH, EMDR-Certified Therapist & Consultant In Training
If you're a top-performing woman who is juggling the dream of "having it all" with the reality of "doing it all," welcome. One thing about me is that I keep it real in therapy: The reality of being a woman in healthcare and a therapist is that we may know all things we should be doing, and we also know how hard it can be to do those things. We'll build insight and work through the challenges that come up along the way. My specialties are supporting women through the burnout of being a parent and high-achieving professional, vicarious trauma, and workplace trauma.

Truth Berenson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I offer counseling and coaching for individuals of all genders, sexualities, racial identities, and family formations. My work is rooted in developing a strong therapeutic relationship. Within the counselor-client connection, clients are invited to explore relational dynamics and to safely become more honest with themselves and others. Through collaboration, I support clients to clearly identify boundaries, honor desires, and expand their capacity to tap into innate resources. My approach is informed by psychodynamic theory, spiritual and archetypal counseling, parts work, creative arts therapy, and goal-oriented coaching in addition to somatic interventions. These coupled with a client-centered and anti-oppressive lens facilitate changes that are both radical and sustainable.
Areas of specialty include: partnership and family conflict, self doubt, guilt & shame, eating disorders & body image, gender, sexuality, LGBTQIA+ experiences, transitioning, PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, addiction, attachment, polyamory, family dynamics, interpersonal and communal conflict, spiritual growth, strengthening intuition, political identity, financial stability, transitions, and creative blocks.
My therapeutic style is intuitive, fierce, and nurturing. With passion and humor, I approach each person with deep respect for the grace and grit of human experience and an abiding trust in each individual's capacity for growth and resilience.
I also support couples struggling to navigate both the inevitable and unexpected challenges of partnership. Every partnership has unique strengths and challenges and even the strongest relationships sometimes need help weathering life's hardships, be they related to health concerns, finances, sexuality and intimacy, children, work stress, extended family, etc.
Couples counseling can help partners improve communication, develop a deeper understanding of each other's experiences, increase awareness of intentions and impact, and relate to each other with compassion and curiosity rather than judgment.
I support couples to make collaborative decisions and move through conflict with courage, honesty, and mutual respect.
Partners learn communication and deescalation skills, develop resiliency, and grow as individuals and partners. Together we can identify and heal attachment wounds, explore power dynamics, and build trust.
