Dr. Bruce Pace
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Online ADHD eval for adults, Neurofeedback for anxiety, sleep, and performance enhancement, and Couples Counseling.
If you want your life to change in a meaningful way, but you need help determining and taking the individual steps required to meet your goals, therapy is an excellent choice. We focus on how your actions impact your circumstances, and how you can change your behavior to change the life you’re living. If that sounds like what you’re looking for, we are likely a good fit.
Neurofeedback, ADHD evals for adults, Couples Counseling, and Individual Counseling
We will collaborate to set goals and track improvements as they occur. I believe we all have brand new opportunities to make new choices in each moment that will improve our lives. The power to change is not dependent on our past choices but on how we decide to live in this moment.
I work with individuals, couples, and families. I give a lot of advice and see myself as an educator who can use my knowledge to equip you with helpful tools.
I am trained in the Gottman method and believe that conflict between partners is inevitable and that improving the frequency and quality of positive interactions is vital to long-term stability of the relationship. I diagnose ADHD and report to your Medical Doctor.
I believe in the goodness of children, and that setting them up for good choices is something that rests largely in the family environment.

Jenna Sackman - Online/Virtual Therapy
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LPC
I specialize in working with individuals (children, teens and adults) and couples, and I am incredibly passionate about the work I do and the people with whom I have the honor to work. My areas of expertise are anxiety / stress, relationship challenges, conflict resolution, intrusive negative thoughts and patterns, loss/grief and depression.
Most clients and couples choose to work with me because they are looking for nontraditional therapy that provides them with concrete skills to improve their everyday lives and/or address specific concerns. Holistic and integrative in my approach, I believe that there is no "one size fits all" in therapy. Therefore, I uniquely tailor therapy sessions to meet each client's needs and goals. With extensive experience and training in results oriented and solutions focused cognitive therapies, positive psychology, mindfulness, Buddhist Psychology, Gottman Method for Couples, meditation, and yoga, I offer creative approaches that result in meaningful change and growth.
Above all, I am committed to creating therapeutic relationships that are built on trust, respect, transparency, empathy, honesty, and equality, and I always counsel from a nonjudgmental place of understanding and compassion.
I am happy to offer a free 15 minute phone consultation to see how I can best support you! Why wait tomorrow when you can start today? Please reach out to schedule your free consultation on my calendar: https://calendly.com/jenna-sackman/phone-consultation

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
I have been a therapist for many years and in many settings. In describing my practice to prospective clients, I like them to know that we work in three intersecting and overlapping domains-present, past and process. In the present, we focus on how you are able to care for yourself and for others, cultivate relationships with self and other in ways that are enriching and not depleting. Using the past, we can come to understand how you show up in relationships, as informed by patterns laid out in your family of origin but in the hopes that you can come to understand and then do differently if you want, rather than acting from a place of default and habit. And finally, we can use process therapies such as EMDR and Deep Brain Reorienting, to help you truly process and move past your past experiences and help you to shed the weight of past trauma. I use a pragmatic and interactive style to collaborate with clients to assist them in choosing the therapeutic path that fits best for them. Therapy is about healing and I value using trusted and effective approaches to help you reach your goals in therapy in a timely way that allows you to move on from our relationship into living your life fully and completely. I offer a free, 30-minute initial consult call so we can connect and see how we might be a good fit. Email me to schedule that today!

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.
