Psychodynamic 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.

Psychodynamic Therapy
Emma Scott
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHC
As your therapist, my job is to guide you to deeper, often unexpressed versions of yourself. Through deliberate self-examination, we will help you know yourself more completely so you can understand the obstacles that are getting in the way of you making the changes you desire. The goal of treatment is always to feel more alive, more connected, and to have more agency over your thoughts and emotions so you can make more intentional and conscious choices about the things that matter most to you. If you are feeling lost, anxious, or find yourself stuck in painful patterns that feel impossible to break free from, talking will help. We will slowly unveil the root cause of your undesirable feelings and repetitions, allowing you to make more sense of your experiences.

Psychodynamic 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.
