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.

Phoenix Center for Experiential Trauma Therapy
Treatment Center, DSW, LCSW, BCD, CGP, FAAETS, TEP
We are a trauma therapy practice specializing in alternatives to traditional talk therapy for PTSD, grief/loss, and addiction. We offer various different treatments including EMDR, IFS, psychodrama, gestalt, expressive arts therapies, and more. The Phoenix Center for Experiential Trauma Therapy is named after the legendary figure of the phoenix that dies and is reborn from its own ashes – it is a symbol of transformation and resilience. The phenomenon of growing after experiencing trauma has been labeled “Post-Traumatic Growth”. While we cannot change the past, we can change how past experiences live within us.
We also offer low-cost options with our graduate interns.

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.

Jess Williams
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSS, LCSW
When you're living your life just a little bit differently from other people, it can feel like the world just wasn't made for you - and it sucks. Whether it's how or who you love, how your brain works, the way you seem to worry about absolutely everything, or the decisions you make about what your life to look like, it can feel super isolating and discouraging to not feel seen and understood by those around you. When I work with clients, that is my main goal - to help them feel seen, understood, and accepted for who they are. Sure, we will work on your anxiety, I'll give you new techniques to try and different ways to think about the world around you, and we'll explore practical advice for things like workplace stress, relationship issues, and family drama, but I also want to help you like YOU more than you ever have before. It might sound cliche (in fact, I know it does), but developing the ability to back yourself, accept your emotions without judgement, and make decisions that feel truly right to you can make all the difference in the world.
Starting therapy can be anxiety-provoking at times, which is why I offer free consultations to all prospective clients. You can book a free 20 minute phone call directly on my website, and I'll reach out to you right away to confirm. We can chat about what you're looking for support with AND make sure everything feels like a good fit before scheduling an intake. I can't wait to connect with you!

Linda Michlin Ludwig
Psychologist, Ph.D.
My training (Yale University Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology; four-year postdoctoral Certificate in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy) is broad and varied. I currently practice individual therapy and group therapy, both online. My approach to working with you will depend to a great degree on what you are seeking. Some people benefit from brief treatment; others seek and benefit from a deeper and longer exploration. I believe the combination of individual and group therapy can be particularly beneficial for many people. My work is guided as much by my own years of personal therapy and psychoanalysis as by my formal education.
