Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
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.

Vibrant Heart Counseling, Devan Pope
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, LCMHC
Maybe you're exhausted from managing anxiety that never seems to quiet down. Perhaps old wounds keep showing up in your relationships, and you're tired of feeling controlled by your past. You might be questioning who you really are underneath the expectations others placed on you—or grieving a faith that once gave you structure but now feels suffocating. Whatever you're carrying, you don't have to figure it out alone. At Vibrant Heart, I offer a warm, judgment-free space where you can finally exhale, explore what's true for you, and begin building a life that actually feels like yours. Reach out when you're ready.

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Robyn Harris
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Feeling stuck in cycles of anxiety, intrusive thoughts, second-guessing, and endless “what if” spirals—or burned out from the stress of high expectations and carrying the mental load—can be overwhelming and exhausting. On the outside, you probably look like you’ve got everything together, but on the inside, you may feel like a mess. Whether you’re a new parent, recently graduated from college, going through a relationship change, or simply feeling stuck, I use evidence-based therapy, including CBT, ERP, and mindfulness, to help you reclaim your life, reconnect with your values, and build skills for long-term well-being.

Brittany Washington
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFTA
What makes my practice, Metamorphosis Counseling and Wellness Collective PLLC, truly special is the heart, advocacy, and lived experience I bring into every session. As a passionate epilepsy advocate and someone who deeply understands the challenges of living with epilepsy, PNES, and Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), I offer a safe and empowering space for those navigating the emotional toll of chronic illness. My approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on helping you rebuild self-esteem, strengthen relationships, and re-author your story with compassion and clarity. If you're looking for a therapist who truly sees you, honors your journey, and advocates for your healing, I would be honored to walk that path with you.
