Amy Look
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Exhausted by overthinking, people-pleasing, and holding yourself to impossible standards? From the outside, it looks like you’ve got it all together - you're thoughtful, capable, and high-achieving. But inside, you feel uncertain, overwhelmed, and stuck. If this resonates, I can help! I specialize in skills-focused therapy for adults who want real change, not just support. Our work together will empower you toward a life that's defined by your values, not your critical inner voice. I’ll use evidence-based strategies to teach you how to calm your mind, cope with stress, build confidence, and strengthen relationships. Call or send me a message to discuss more about what it would be like to work together.

After teaching in the classroom for several years, I completed my graduate degree programming in both Clinical & Counseling Psychology in 2005 (graduating in 2006), with a special concentration in Addictions Counseling. I went on to obtain additional, advanced degrees and training in Education, Special Services, Behavior Analysis (Behavioral Health, Acceptance and Commitment Training, Addiction, Applied Animal Behavior, Autism, Behavior Analysis and Technology, Behavior Analysis and the Arts, Behavior Analysis for Sustainable Societies, Behavior Analysis in Health, Sports, and Fitness, Behavior Analysis in Military and Veterans' Issues, Behavioral Development, Behavioral Gerontology, Behavioral Medicine, Behavioral Approaches for Social Responsibility, Clinical Applications, Trauma, Crime, Delinquency, and Forensic Behavior Analysis, Culture and Diversity, Dissemination of Behavior Analysis, Ethics and Behavior Analysis, Experimental Analysis of Human Behavior, Gambling, History of Behavior Analysis, Mental Health, Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Intervention, Neuroscience, Open Educational Resources, Organizational Behavior Management / Industrial Psychology, Pediatric Feeding Disorders, Positive Behavior Supports, including School-Wide Positive Behavioral Supports, Functional Analysis and Functional Behavioral Assessment, Verbal Behavior, Practitioner Issues in Behavior Analysis, Rehabilitation and Independent Living, Sexual Behavior: Research and Practice, Speech Pathology (Techniques and Approaches when working with analysts and clinicians in co-treat models), The Standard Celeration Society, Teaching Behavior Analysis, Supervision, Theoretical, Philosophical, and Conceptual Issues, and the list goes on. I have also completed advanced Practitioner training in a number of alternative medicine/ healing modalities. I have worked with clients at all stages of life, both internationally, and nationally, across the continuum of traditionally defined mental-behavioral health care & educational settings (including higher education), as well as other settings (community based, center-based, prisons, juvenile detention centers, homes, courts, etc.). At the present time, I am accepting clients on a case-by-case basis at my local, part-time, private practice online, only. My concentration and focus has shifted considerably in terms of the scope of services I am currently providing, privately. If you are looking for other services, in the public sectors, I would continue to recommend you search / use alternate designated contacts via the certification, licensing boards, and other directories/ forums which include currently available providers and groups. I will continue to look forward to working with each and everyone of my clients on an individualized/ personalized basis. The focus of my private practice will continue to work together to integrate practices from a variety of professional discipline areas with which I worked for 20 + years, formally and professionally in the public and private sectors, in addition to the additional learning acquisition I was able to achieve through recent, personal relevatory experiences with the sincere goal of helping others lead a more balanced life.

Dr. Madelyn Satz
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Life is challenging. All of us will deal with difficulty at some point in our lives, and many of us will face repeated struggles. We have a hand in some of these troubles and others we have no control over. But we always have control over how we interpret events, how we relate to them, how we make sense of them, and what we do as a result. There is validity in whatever way we view our situation, but as a starting place, not the only place, and we can move through and beyond into a clearing of many more and better possibilities.
I have many tools and techniques and strategies to shift perspective from deeply painful to healing and expansion. Despite how vulnerable we are in life, there is also a great deal of thriving that is available to us - when we know how to harness it.

CHRISTIE BAUR PSYCHOTHERAPY
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
Are you an ambitious, high-achieving teen or adult who can’t seem to quiet the relentless inner battles? You push yourself and show up for everyone, but still find yourself caught in spirals of self-doubt and the nagging sense that you’re never quite good enough. The racing thoughts and constant pressure to hold it all together are exhausting, and you’re tired of anxiety stealing yet another moment of your life?
I get it—I’ve been there.
If you’re ready to slow your thoughts, feel grounded and confident, and finally quiet the noise, I’m here to help you get there.
My goal is to provide a protected, collaborative space—one where you can exhale, explore, and work through things at a pace that feels right for you. You can bring your whole self—your challenges, questions, and hopes—and know you’ll be met with curiosity, compassion, and respect. Therapy with me isn’t about judgment or “fixing” anyone—you don’t need to be fixed—it’s about building insight, practical tools, and confidence so you can live a fuller, freer life. Together, we’ll navigate anxiety, self-doubt, life transitions, and more, using evidence-based strategies with empathy and support—so you can feel empowered, resilient, and connected to yourself.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
I have been a therapist for many years and in many settings. In describing my practice to prospective clients, I like them to know that we work in three intersecting and overlapping domains-present, past and process. In the present, we focus on how you are able to care for yourself and for others, cultivate relationships with self and other in ways that are enriching and not depleting. Using the past, we can come to understand how you show up in relationships, as informed by patterns laid out in your family of origin but in the hopes that you can come to understand and then do differently if you want, rather than acting from a place of default and habit. And finally, we can use process therapies such as EMDR and Deep Brain Reorienting, to help you truly process and move past your past experiences and help you to shed the weight of past trauma. I use a pragmatic and interactive style to collaborate with clients to assist them in choosing the therapeutic path that fits best for them. Therapy is about healing and I value using trusted and effective approaches to help you reach your goals in therapy in a timely way that allows you to move on from our relationship into living your life fully and completely. I offer a free, 30-minute initial consult call so we can connect and see how we might be a good fit. Email me to schedule that today!
