Licensed Clinical Social Worker
At Confluence Mind and Motion, we help clients reconnect with the parts of themselves that feel distant, overwhelmed, or forgotten. We believe meaningful change happens when people feel emotionally safe and supported—both within their relationships and within themselves. Our work is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy and attachment science, guiding clients as they rebuild confidence, heal from disconnection, and rediscover their internal sources of strength. Whether someone is navigating anxiety, trauma, identity challenges, or the pressures of athletic performance, we offer a steady and collaborative space to explore what’s getting in the way and what’s possible next. Many people come to us feeling stuck, frustrated, or unsure how to return to the version of themselves they know they can be. Together, we work to uncover clarity, resilience, and renewed direction—so you can move forward with purpose and self-trust.

I work with clients to better understand their thoughts, emotions, and patterns of behavior and to create meaningful changes in their lives.

HUGH R STEWART III
Hypnotherapist, Ph.D., ACHt.
I primarily help 30-65yos in the sex positive and alternative lifestyle communities who are open minded, eager for change, personal growth, and are willing & empowered to take different action in their lives. They may feel or experience being stuck, sexless, depressed, anxious, guilt, shame, scared, unwanted, invisible, misunderstood, and/or confused. Their challenge is to let go of, surrender, and transform their self sabotaging patterns and behaviors that are negatively impacting their relationships, self esteem, and happiness in their lives. In order transform one’s experience it is crucial to learn healthy responsible communication skills, taking risk, emotional release work, letting go of expectations and beliefs that no longer serve you, and being present and mindful. As a result of me being a trusted compassionate yet assertive psychotherapist/coach, I will help guide them around the obstacles on their paths to the life and self they so desire and yearn for! They will learn the delicate balance between creating their goals and action plan & then letting go of being attached to the outcome while trusting their higher power to send them this or something better!

Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that meaningful change begins with understanding—of ourselves, our patterns, and the biological and emotional systems that shape how we experience the world. I work with individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of concerns, integrating clinical experience, psychological insight, and education about how the brain and nervous system function under stress, trauma, and emotional strain.
Throughout my career in community mental health, private practice, medical settings, and teaching, I have worked with people facing complex emotional and relational challenges. These experiences have shaped a practical, compassionate, and direct style that focuses on helping clients understand why they feel and react the way they do, while developing concrete skills for change. I believe therapy is not only about symptom relief but about increasing self-awareness, emotional regulation, and the ability to navigate life with greater clarity and intention.
My work often includes helping clients understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and physiological responses. By learning how to regulate the nervous system and tolerate uncertainty, individuals can respond more thoughtfully rather than react automatically. I aim to create a collaborative and respectful therapeutic environment where clients feel safe to explore difficult experiences, retell their stories when needed, and move toward a stronger sense of stability and self-understanding.
Therapy is a process of growth, accountability, and compassion. Whether someone is navigating anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions, my goal is to help them build insight, resilience, and a more grounded sense of who they are and how they want to live.

Ashlyn Parks
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC., MT-BC.
As a therapist, I firmly believe that this entire process is individualized. While I pull from evidence-based techniques and theory, I also recognize that none of them will fit everyone. My work is grounded on the values of authenticity, curiosity, human connection, and unconditional positive regard. I also value transparency, and believe that being open about being neurodivergent further strengthens the work. I received my Kink Informed Clinician certification about two years ago, and have had the privilege to work with many people who engage in kink or consensual non-monogamy.
