Matthew Heintz
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Life can be overwhelming can't it? Feelings of anxiety, self criticism and low or no motivation don't come from no where. I work with clients to create a space where they can be themselves and understand how to work with these overwhelming feelings. It is important to me to know the people I work with as more than their symptoms, I want to know what you value, who you care for and what you just find nifty. I won't act as just a therapist in our work. We are allowed to joke, cry, and talk about how cute your pets are, it's all a part of the process.

Angie Yemma
Therapist, LCAT, BCDMT
From the outside, it may look like you’re doing everything right. You work hard, care deeply, show up for others, and hold yourself to high standards. You notice the details, strive to do your best, and rarely settle for “good enough.” These qualities can be powerful strengths—but they can also leave you exhausted when the pressure to get it right starts taking over.
Maybe you overthink decisions, replay conversations, worry about disappointing people, or constantly wonder if you’re doing enough. Maybe you’ve accomplished a lot but still feel like you should be doing more.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and there’s nothing wrong with you.
I specialize in working with perfectionist and high-achieving teens and young adults who are navigating anxiety, self-doubt, overthinking, people-pleasing, academic pressure, and the expectations they place on themselves. I don’t believe perfectionism is something you need to get rid of. I see it as a superpower.
Therapy is an opportunity to understand your perfectionism, recognize the strengths underneath it, and learn how to use those strengths in ways that support the life you actually want. Together, we’ll build self-trust, confidence, flexibility, and self-compassion—without asking you to become less ambitious or care less.
As a therapist and dance/movement therapist, I believe your body has important information that your mind may be overlooking. My approach is warm, collaborative, creative, and practical, combining talk therapy with mindfulness and body-based techniques.
Therapy with me isn’t about becoming a different person. It’s about feeling more comfortable being the person you already are.
You don’t have to choose between being successful and feeling good. You can keep your drive, your high standards, and the parts of perfectionism that make you who you are—while creating more space for confidence, connection, flexibility, and joy.

Colette Pauta
Counselor/Therapist
If you're looking for someone who will truly listen and help you feel heard and seen, my goal is to offer a space where you don't have to filter or perform. I take a warm, relational, and collaborative approach to therapy, meeting you where you're at with curiosity and care. I believe that humor has a place in healing, and when used thoughtfully, it can make difficult conversations feel less intimidating and more human. My work is trauma-informed and grounded in understanding how your experiences, relationships, and environment shape the challenging you're facing. Together, we'll explore patterns, build insight, and develop practical tools that feel relevant to your everyday life. Therapy with me is not about having all the answers, it's about creating space to slow down, reflect, and move forward with greater clarity and self-trust. Whether you're thinking about therapy for the first time, or have been in the counseling space before, I welcome the opportunity to get to know who you are at your core.

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.

Also, as a therapist, I always try to find potential avenues for growth, whether it's getting a certification in cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy, I believe that growing my skillset and sharing it with you is essential. I also encourage you to think deeply about your life and to take actions to create changes that you want to see.

Resouling Therapy
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LPC
I (Mike) help clients put words to their inner experiences in ways that allow them to connect more deeply with themselves, leading to greater healing and freedom. Many clients share their surprise at how accurately I reflect what they are trying to express, and they often describe feeling seen and understood in our sessions. I work primarily with men, helping them identify and make sense of their emotions so they can express themselves more fully and experience more satisfying relationships.
The therapists on our team work from this same foundation. Through close, ongoing supervision, I emphasize attunement, emotional accuracy, and a steady, non-judgmental presence, so clients can expect thoughtful, relational therapy that values understanding before problem-solving.
