Zachariah Crooks @ Inner Harmony
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CGT, ACHT
Do you feel caught in anxiety, painful relationship patterns, or the habit of putting everyone else's needs ahead of your own? I help adults explore how past experiences affect their lives today and work toward stronger boundaries, greater self-trust, and more fulfilling relationships. My style is warm and direct, combining supportive listening with gentle challenge. Together, we choose approaches that fit your goals, including holistic counseling, Gestalt therapy, and optional heart-centered hypnotherapy, to explore both what helps you cope now and the deeper patterns you want to change. Contact me to discuss what you are looking for and whether we may be a good fit.

Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
Fear, anxiety, anger, shame, guilt, sadness; we are taught to repress these uncomfortable emotions and mask our pain. When these BIG emotions are shoved down for so long, they try to get our attention in various ways. We push back harder. They often manifest as maladaptive behaviors, habits, addictions, and even chronic physical and psychological conditions. We may overeat, overwork, over-promise, people-please, self-sabotage, be unable to focus, thrill-seek, put ourselves in danger, act out, procrastinate, deplete our own resources, and more. The majority of this type of unwanted behavior and thinking often can be traced back to some form of trauma, abuse, abandonment, or neglect. My hypnotherapy sessions help to process the emotions in a safe and loving way, and facilitate healing; so you feel safe in your own mind and comfortable in your own skin. We simultaneously work on reframing the debilitating thoughts and behaviors with healthy and supportive new ones that support your new goals. It is in this way we let go of the old stories and rewrite the future of our dreams.

Gestalt
Individual and Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
As a therapist who has been practicing for over 20 years, I have developed a well-honed approach, style, skillset, and flow, which helps to make your experience personalized, efficient, responsive, and often highly effective. I possess the intellect and experience to meet you where you are. I intentionally keep my practice small so that I can respond quickly to your needs. Most people do not reach out to therapists because they want to start therapy in 3 months; they probably needed to start yesterday! I can usually get you started within the week and offer flexible scheduling and evening appointments if necessary.

Donna M Torbico - HEAL & GROW for ACoAs
Counselor/Therapist, Recovery Therapist in Private Practice 40 years
FREE INTRO Session - to see if we're a good fit. My main focus is working with ACAs - adults who were raised in an alcoholic / narcissistic family. The long-term goal is to uncover your True Self, develop a Loving Parent voice, heal the Wounded Child, & encourage the Healthy Child to shine.
Together we identify the harsh beliefs you absorbed from your family, school & religion, and work on transforming them into positive do-able ‘rules’ to live by.
EXP: “I know what I know”, “I have a right to my needs”, “”There’s no such thing as perfect”…..
I also provide a safe place for you to experience painful or joyful emotions you weren't allowed to feel growing up. ACA Recovery work is about facing the reality of early damage, and working to overcome the after-effects.
“Trying to flourish in an atmosphere of criticism is like trying to get sober in a bar.”
