Somatic Therapy
Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
In searching for a therapist, you are taking the first step in what could be the most important journey of your life. It is definitely possible to make important, lasting improvements in your life and levels of happiness, satisfaction, and success. Therapy is often an effective way to attain these goals. With almost 40 years of experience working as a counselor and then a psychologist, I am well-qualified to help you identify what is standing in the way of increased life satisfaction, and help you effectively work towards your goals. People often get stuck in old patterns that make them unhappy, want to change them, but don't know how. I work together with my clients to understand how old patterns in thought, feeling, and behavior got established, and then explore how best to change those patterns. I enjoy doing longer term, deeper work with clients, to create significant, meaningful, and lasting change. I often employ a holistic approach, exploring personal history, thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationship history and issues, as well as issues including medical history, self-care habits, and experiences of spirituality. I view the therapy relationship as a partnership, respecting the pace and timing that the client requires.

McKenzie Wilkins- Authentic Self Therapy, PLLC

Are you looking to access your Authentic Self?
Has trauma, depression and/or anxiety impacted who you want to be or how you show up?
As a Polyvagal-Informed Therapist (I trained with Dr. Stephen Porges and Deb Dana), I can help you understand your nervous system and how it shapes your emotions, relationships, and daily life. Together, we’ll gently build tools that support regulation, resilience, and connection, so you can feel more at home in your body and reconnect with your authentic self.

Somatic Therapy
Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I believe every human being has inherent value, yet so many of us carry deep shame from past experiences that tell us otherwise—messages like “I’m bad,” “I’m too much,” “I’m unlovable,” or “If I show myself, I’ll be rejected.” These beliefs can quietly shape how we see ourselves, our relationships, and what we think is possible. In therapy, I work to help uncover and soften these old burdens so they no longer hold you back. My style is warm, collaborative, and deeply respectful of the courage it takes to show up. Together, we’ll build a space where you can feel seen in your wholeness, reconnect with your own inner wisdom, and move toward a life that feels freer and more grounded.

Creating lasting change is hard but you don't have to figure it out alone. After our first session, we will have a clear plan for our work together and identify practical ways to start moving forward. I bring nearly 10 years of mental health experience to our work together and am always engaged in ongoing continuing education. Whether you're looking for individual or couple's therapy, there are options to improve your situation and meet your needs.

Paulina Mendez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSWA, LCASA
Working with me means entering a space where you don’t have to hold everything together. I bring warmth, clarity, and steady guidance to our work, helping you slow down, listen to what your body has been carrying, and make sense of your experience. Together, we create room for both practical change and deeper alignment, so growth feels grounded, intentional, and sustainable.
