Shaelyn Cataldo
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, PMH-C, EMDRIA Certified Therapist™
I believe our symptoms and struggles often make sense when we understand what we have lived through. Anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm, and relationship patterns may have developed as ways of adapting, protecting ourselves, or staying connected. My role is to help you understand these patterns with curiosity and compassion rather than criticism.
I offer a warm, relational, honest, and sometimes direct therapeutic space. Together, we explore how past experiences, attachment wounds, and complex trauma may continue to shape your nervous system, relationships, and sense of self. Insight matters, but our work does not stop there. We also create opportunities to experience and respond to yourself differently.
As a Certified EMDR Therapist, I integrate attachment-focused EMDR, somatic therapy, IFS-informed parts work, and expressive approaches to support deeper, embodied change. The goal is not to become someone new, but to strengthen self-trust, reconnect with your needs and inner voice, and feel more at home in yourself.

Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that meaningful change begins with understanding—of ourselves, our patterns, and the biological and emotional systems that shape how we experience the world. I work with individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of concerns, integrating clinical experience, psychological insight, and education about how the brain and nervous system function under stress, trauma, and emotional strain.
Throughout my career in community mental health, private practice, medical settings, and teaching, I have worked with people facing complex emotional and relational challenges. These experiences have shaped a practical, compassionate, and direct style that focuses on helping clients understand why they feel and react the way they do, while developing concrete skills for change. I believe therapy is not only about symptom relief but about increasing self-awareness, emotional regulation, and the ability to navigate life with greater clarity and intention.
My work often includes helping clients understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and physiological responses. By learning how to regulate the nervous system and tolerate uncertainty, individuals can respond more thoughtfully rather than react automatically. I aim to create a collaborative and respectful therapeutic environment where clients feel safe to explore difficult experiences, retell their stories when needed, and move toward a stronger sense of stability and self-understanding.
Therapy is a process of growth, accountability, and compassion. Whether someone is navigating anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions, my goal is to help them build insight, resilience, and a more grounded sense of who they are and how they want to live.

Jonah Taylor
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
What makes my practice unique is its integrative depth. I specialize in helping both individuals and couples understand the 'why' behind their patterns. Often, the very skills that serve people well professionally—like logic and control—become sources of frustration in their intimate lives, leading to communication breakdown, emotional withdrawal, or a loss of sexual connection. By blending the emotional science of EFT for couples, the deep insight of Psychodynamic Therapy for individuals, and specialized training in Sex Therapy, we work together to build the flexibility and vulnerability needed for true intimacy.

Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
I'm Dr. Anna Smith (she/her), a Licensed Psychologist and Certified Sex Therapist. I offer online sex therapy, couples therapy, & relationship counseling across the US in 40+ states — for people who want deeper intimacy, more honest communication, & relationships that feel good.
What makes my practice different is that it’s built entirely around deep relational and sexual intimacy—nothing else. With over a decade focused exclusively on couples and sex therapy, AASECT certification, and advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy and trauma-informed care, I’m not a generalist who happens to see couples; this is the work I love.
Clients tell me they finally feel seen, supported, and gently challenged in the exact ways they need. If you care deeply about your relationship (or your relationship with yourself) but feel stuck, exhausted by the same patterns, or unsure how to talk about sex without shame, I’d be honored to help. You deserve a therapist who specializes in exactly what you’re struggling with—and who can help you create the safety, closeness, and pleasure you’ve been longing for. Let’s talk.
**Note: I'm a private-pay clinician and don't bill insurance directly or accept insurance. Sessions are $225, and I'm happy to provide a superbill you can submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
