Dr. Jacob Lebar
Psychologist, PhD, JD
Figuring out how to create meaningful change in your life can feel overwhelming, especially if you aren't sure where to start. I work with and for adults to manage the daily realities of anxiety, OCD, panic, and comorbid depression. My practice is explicitly neurodiversity-affirming; I dedicate a significant portion of my work to helping adults unpack the impact of living with overlooked ADHD or Autism into adulthood. Additionally, my background as a former lawyer gives me a grounded, firsthand perspective on the unique stressors faced by individuals in highly technical, high-pressure professional fields. If you are ready to explore what therapy can do for you, we may be a great fit.

Jill Verofsky
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S., L.P.C., N.C.C.
Let’s be honest: if reading self-help books, taking deep breaths, or telling yourself "it is what it is" was going to fix things, you’d be cured by now.
I offer evidence-based mental health care with zero fluff, zero clinical gaslighting, and absolutely no nod-and-smile clichés. I combine serious expertise with a very necessary sense of humor because working on your mental health is hard enough—it shouldn't feel like a punishment.
My job isn’t to stare at you silently and ask "how does that make you feel?" endlessly. My job is to listen, call out the chaotic brain loops keeping you stuck, and give you actual, concrete tools to navigate real life. I bring the clinical framework; you bring your actual self, minus the pressure to pretend you have everything under control.
Healing takes work, but it doesn't have to be miserable. We'll tackle the heavy, complicated stuff head-on, but we’ll also laugh when life is absurd.

Psychologist, PsyD
Have you noticed that anxious thoughts and uncomfortable emotions have become dominating forces in your life, often leading to avoidance, escape or other ineffective behaviors? Your experience with anxiety is preventing you from showing up for yourself and others in ways that you would like. I want to help you learn techniques that will allow you to develop the courage to stand up to your anxiety so that you can live more in accordance with your values.

Alisia Ives at Status Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
What you want to achieve is our goal. I am attentive and straightforward, as well as caring. In twenty years of practice, I am grateful that many clients have told me that our work together was really helpful. Some return as needed, often for a shorter period when something new comes up they want help to handle.
When we meet, you will tell me a bit about your life, what is causing dis-ease in your life, and how you want your life to be. We will brainstorm together about how you can begin working toward that goal. This means regardless of which treatment modality (therapy style) is used, I am aware and attending to your vocalized goals, your patterns of behavior, your feelings in relationships - including the one with yourself - and much more.
It is true that we are affected by our experiences and upbringing and that may or may not be affecting you in the present. There is much that goes into satisfying daily life: self-discipline, self-awareness, boundaries, how you talk to yourself and others, your relationships, money and work.
I am happy to talk with you on the phone for a few minutes. The cost of an appointment is listed with payment. If you would like to come in and financial circumstances are such that the regular cost makes therapy out of reach, I take on some clients at a lower rate. Please don't hesitate to ask if you are in need this way.
