Dr. Thomas Ballas
Psychologist, PhD; PSYPACT
I’m Dr. Thomas Ballas, a licensed clinical psychologist with specialized expertise in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), trauma, and perfectionism. My professional background includes hospital settings, private practice, and serving as a medical officer within the U.S. Army, where I gained invaluable experience addressing diverse mental health challenges. These experiences have shaped my commitment to offering compassionate, individualized care that empowers clients to overcome obstacles and create meaningful, lasting change.
I use evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), tailoring each method to your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll work to improve your emotional well-being, break free from unhelpful patterns, and guide you toward a more fulfilling, balanced life.

James Parker
Psychologist, PhD
I view therapy as a collaborative interaction in service of understanding the best forms of quality human relating. My approach to therapy is primarily guided by Coherence Therapy. Coherence Therapy is an approach to treatment that is different from many others in that - instead of focusing on what is "negative" or "wrong" and trying to change or alter it - the purpose is to genuinely understand a person's symptoms; to curiously explore why maintaining certain patterns of thinking and behavior is emotionally necessary, even when a person is feeling stuck because of those patterns. Understanding the symptom leads to identifying the underlying emotional reasons of why we do things and addresses the cause of feeling stuck, not just the symptom, which leads to meaningful and lasting changes.

Johanna Wood, Leap Counseling and Consultation
Psychologist, PhD, LP
I specialize in exposure-based therapies for OCD and anxiety disorders. My clients typically have tried therapy before, but have not seen much improvement. They continue living in fear, anxiety, and guilt, as their lives continue getting smaller and smaller. This is because OCD and most anxiety disorders require specialized treatment. Coping skills are great, but they can only get you so far. The good news is, there are science-backed treatments for OCD and for anxiety that actually work. If you're ready to stop coping and start living, take a leap of faith and reach out.
My style is structured and balances use of the latest science with compassion and understanding. My goal is to make you feel heard, and feel challenged. I serve adults with primary issues of OCD and anxiety, and I also address co-occurring depression, insomnia, body-focused repetitive behaviors, and trauma, using cognitive-behavioral therapies. I address all forms of OCD and anxiety, but I have a special interest in scrupulosity (religious- and moral-based) OCD. I love helping people stop letting their OCD hijack their sources of meaning and get back to having faith in faith again.

Rachael Keyser, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
I believe that healing happens in the context of connection, understanding, and support. My practice is built on the foundation of meeting you where you are, without judgment, and helping you navigate life’s challenges with compassion and evidence-based care. As a licensed psychologist, I take a holistic approach, considering not just your symptoms but your relationships, environment, and overall well-being. Whether you’re an individual seeking clarity or a couple working through difficulties, I create a safe and affirming space where real change can happen.
Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about uncovering the strengths you already have and learning how to use them in ways that feel right for you. If you’re ready to start that journey, I would love to help. Contact me today, and let’s take the next step together.

Dr. Andrew Bingman
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, PsyD
Many people struggle with the belief that they are not good enough, and they subsequently suppress parts of themselves that they fear will alienate them from others. My primary task as a therapist is to create a safe and validating environment in which you can feel free to be your whole self, without fear of rejection or judgment. My goal is to recognize, understand, and honor each part of you, especially the parts that feel most vulnerable.
