Sarah Sternlieb
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Do you feel like you’re stuck in the past, reliving what happened no matter how hard you try to move on? Do you have panic attacks, nightmares, or feel like your body is always on high alert? Experiences from childhood can continue to shape how you connect with others, see yourself, and move through the world.
I offer trauma therapy for adults who are ready to stop feeling trapped by what they’ve been through. Using EMDR and other mind-body approaches, we’ll work together to calm your nervous system, shift painful patterns, and help your brain process what’s been holding you back. You don’t have to tell your whole story for healing to happen.
Let’s take the first step toward something better. Book your free consultation today to get started.

Ilyssa Swartout
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I’m Dr. Ilyssa Swartout, a licensed psychologist dedicated to helping adults and couples heal from past wounds and create meaningful change. My approach blends warmth, presence, and evidence-based therapy to help you move beyond old patterns and reconnect with your sense of worth and wholeness.
My background includes over 20 years of mentorship with James Bugental, Ph.D., founder of Humanistic Psychotherapy, and advanced training in EMDR, Brainspotting, Gestalt Therapy, and Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy (DNMS). These approaches support healing from trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties by addressing both emotional and body-based experiences.
As an EMDR Consultant and Certified In-Depth Therapist, I guide clients and other professionals toward lasting transformation and self-understanding.
Therapy is a courageous step toward healing and growth. Together, we’ll create a safe and supportive space for you to explore, recover, and thrive.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I believe every human being has inherent value, yet so many of us carry deep shame from past experiences that tell us otherwise—messages like “I’m bad,” “I’m too much,” “I’m unlovable,” or “If I show myself, I’ll be rejected.” These beliefs can quietly shape how we see ourselves, our relationships, and what we think is possible. In therapy, I work to help uncover and soften these old burdens so they no longer hold you back. My style is warm, collaborative, and deeply respectful of the courage it takes to show up. Together, we’ll build a space where you can feel seen in your wholeness, reconnect with your own inner wisdom, and move toward a life that feels freer and more grounded.

Iris Bowen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MBA
My orientation to therapy is grounded in liberatory, strengths-based, and relational frameworks. My goal is to partner with you against that which is preventing you from creating a meaningful, value-aligned life: A life full of vitality, where you maintain a balanced connection to both your inner world and your community. I consider the material conditions (social, political, economic) around you when offering coping strategies, and aim to support your healing while holding space for any active harms or atrocities you may be experiencing (direct and indirect).
