Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I'm Dr. Cynthia, a licensed psychologist with over 25 years of experience, specializing in narcissistic abuse recovery for mothers. I coined the term Narcissistic Burnout™ to describe what happens when you've spent years managing someone else's chaos at the expense of your own mental health, your children's mental health, your parenting, and your sense of self.
This isn't standard talk therapy. I work with moms navigating high-conflict divorce, coercive control, post-separation abuse, and the specific hell of trying to parallel parent with a narcissist. I understand what it's like to sit across from a family court system that doesn't get it and to need someone in your corner who does.
You'll stop questioning your reality and heal from gaslighting. You'll learn to protect yourself and your children without losing yourself in the process. Together we will work towards moving from surviving to thriving.
I offer telehealth across PSYPACT states. If you're ready to move from crisis mode to clarity, reach out today.

Ellyn Kravette
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LSW, CADC, CEAP
Hello and Welcome.. I am a PsychoSpiritual Counselor which means that I think that what you believe about who you are and what you are capable of is very important in your finding a path to work through situations and live your life in an optimal way. SPIRITUALITY is about being connected…about caring ..about not abusing or being abused. Mental health involves learning to be honest with ourselves and others. I have had training in pastoral counseling as well as a master's degree in social work. I am supportive of people who may or may not be religiously affiliated ..who are interested in becoming more in harmony with themselves and others. My style is interactive.

Asher Lipner
Psychologist, Ph.D., SRT
I believe good therapy is more than symptom management. It’s about helping people understand themselves more honestly, develop greater emotional awareness, and build a life that feels more grounded, connected, and authentic.
Many of the people I work with feel stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand — anxiety, shame, compulsive behaviors, emotional disconnection, relationship struggles, or cycles of secrecy and self-criticism. Often, these struggles are not simply about “bad habits” or lack of willpower, but about deeper emotional and relational dynamics that have never been fully understood or addressed.
My style is warm, direct, thoughtful, and engaged. I aim to create a space where people can speak openly about subjects that are difficult to discuss elsewhere, without feeling judged, dismissed, or reduced to a diagnosis. I believe meaningful therapy requires both compassion and honesty: the ability to understand pain without losing sight of accountability, growth, and change.
I have particular experience helping individuals and couples struggling with compulsive sexual behavior, pornography addiction, betrayal trauma, intimacy difficulties, anxiety, shame, and trauma-related issues. I also work extensively with clients from religious and culturally sensitive communities, where these struggles often carry additional layers of secrecy, fear, and isolation.
Therapy can help people move from surviving on autopilot toward living with greater clarity, presence, integrity, and connection — both to themselves and to the people they care about most.

Kristina Peck
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Let’s be honest—life is hard. Messy, beautiful, overwhelming, and at times downright ridiculous. If you’re struggling (like most of us are at some point), you deserve a space that feels safe, supportive, and—believe it or not—a little bit lighter.
I’m a seasoned therapist who brings clinical expertise and a human touch. That means evidence-based approaches grounded in years of experience, paired with humor, compassion, and real talk. I believe in validating your experience while gently helping you shift what’s not working.
Therapy with me isn’t about judgment—it’s about connection. I create a space where you can exhale, show up exactly as you are, and start untangling what’s holding you back. I normalize the human condition because, well, we’re all just trying to get through this thing called life. Let’s do it together—with insight, laughter, and a whole lot of heart.

Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
My approach to therapy is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of increasing self-awareness and coping skills to help promote the kind of changes that you would like to see. I believe that the quality of the therapist/client relationship is paramount to effective therapy. Because of this, I highly encourage you to choose a therapist that feels like a "good fit" for you. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about your background and reasons for seeking therapy, answer any questions you may have, and then plan together from there. Starting therapy can feel daunting or overwhelming for many people, so it is important that we work at a pace that feels comfortable to you.
