Confluence Mind and Motion
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.

Dr. Heather Sheets
Psychologist, PsyD
I work with adults navigating life transitions, anxiety, relationship issues and challenges. I also have a special focus on men’s mental health, including the unique emotional struggles that come with divorce, separation, and relationship transitions. My therapeutic approach is strength-based and grounded in cognitive behavioral, interpersonal psychotherapy, and narrative psychology. Successful therapy uncovers inner strengths that may have been quieted or overlooked — transforming emotional pain into resilience, insight, and growth. Together, we work to build not just relief from distress, but renewed clarity and strength.

Practical Psychology, Inc.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I believe that change is possible, even when life feels overwhelming. As someone whose mind tends to move fast, dig deep, and resist “fitting in,” I’ve learned firsthand how isolation, frustration, and burnout can grow from being misunderstood.
In my practice, I offer a place of understanding, clarity, and transformation. I help clients map how their unique thinking, energy, and attention patterns affect relationships, work, and daily life. Together, we create strategies and habits that align with who you are—so that your strengths become the foundation for growth, not sources of struggle.
I provide this support virtually across 44 states—and I’m committed to meeting you exactly where you are, and helping you move toward what’s next.

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.

Peter D. Ruffini, Sex & Porn Addiction Expert
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdS, MA, LPC, LPCMH, ACS, EMDRPT-II, CSAT-C
As an award-winning psychotherapist, I specialize in high-impact individual therapy for capable men. With over 15 years of experience and advanced trauma training, I’m known for my work in pornography addiction, sex addiction, and men’s mental health. My practice is frequently sought out by other therapists who refer men facing issues requiring specialized treatment—such as sex and porn addiction, trauma, anger, infidelity, and anxiety. I have also been featured in media speaking about these topics.
As a clinical supervisor, I train other therapists in gold-standard, evidence-based treatments. I provide expert, structured, results-oriented therapy for men who want real change—not generic talk therapy or surface-level coping. Clients reach out when they want depth, direction, and results so if you’re here, you’ve already taken the first step toward real change.
