Paul T. Haefner, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
I came to this work by two roads that turned out to be one. I trained as a clinical psychologist with a physics degree behind me and a lifelong love of horses beside me and for more than 30 years I've helped people change in ways that last.
When I founded Riding Far, I expected to coach elite competitors chasing a mental edge. Instead, the people who walked through my door were often carrying something heavier: fear after a bad fall, the ache of an injury, the sting of a relationship — human or equine — that had gone wrong. That taught me what my work is really about. Not fixing people, but helping them feel safe enough to be fully themselves again, and to stay connected while they do it.
Whether you sit across from me by video or beside me at the office, my promise is the same: I'll meet you where you are, take your story seriously, and help you find your way forward with honesty, warmth, and courage.

Andrea Meier, LLC | Holistic Wellness Collective
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S., LPC, LAC
Welcome! My passion is supporting and guiding individuals, couples and families overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, addictions and relational challenges so that they can heal from what is keeping them stuck, find calm and peace in the present and build confidence in the future. I specialize in offering holistic, integrative and evidence-based approaches, including EMDR, IFS, CBT, Somatic, KAP and Gottman. My clients find that they feel comfortable, trusting and relaxed with me allowing them to work more deeply. I'm a real person with personal and professional expertise that brings compassion, flexibility and humor, when appropriate.
With 25 years of experience, I have found personalized, integrative approaches to be most effective, helping clients get unstuck from points they've hit in months or years of previous talk therapy or self-help. I bring this expertise to my holistic wellness collective where our holistic therapists specialize in targeting anxiety, trauma and relationships.
I would be happy to chat to learn more about your personal goals. I encourage you to trust yourself as you explore who feels like a good fit. If you are interested in working with me or a therapist at the Collective (varying rates by therapist and approach), please reach out to set up a free consultation. We would be thrilled to welcome you!

Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
I specialize in working with clients from the ages of 14 to adulthood, who are inquisitive, self-aware, and deeply motivated to understand themselves better, improve their relationships, move into a place of self-respect/love, and develop adaptive ways of coping, communicating, and problem-solving. I have worked for many years with children, teens, adults, and families dealing with trauma and change and searching for authenticity, often in a world that values the superficial. Therapy is a process of seeking meaning, managing change, letting go of what no longer makes sense for who we are and what we want, healing, and growing.
I am most suited to help clients dealing with loss, prior childhood trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, identity (in all its manifestations), divorce, self-esteem, grief, and emotional regulation. The goals are different for everyone, yet I believe that we all want to feel more balanced, more joyful, and more healthfully connected with others.
As a psychologist with 25 years of post-doctoral experience, I’ve been exposed to various modalities, settings, and clients dealing with differing issues, life changes, and developmental expectations. I’ve also found that my professional practice has evolved as I’ve matured, raised children, and survived losses and challenges. We are in this together.

Dr. Trey Cole
Psychologist, Psy.D., ABPP, DAAETS
Therapy, at its best, is a space where you can slow down, turn inward, and begin to understand yourself more fully. My role is to walk alongside you in that process — with honesty, care, and deep respect for your experience.
I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My approach draws from CBT, ACT, trauma-focused therapy, and existential therapy, always tailored to what feels most useful for you. But more than any particular method, I believe healing happens through genuine connection — when you feel truly seen and understood.
Together, we'll explore the patterns, emotions, and beliefs that shape how you move through the world. We'll build practical tools where you need them, and make space for the deeper questions when those matter more. My hope is that our work helps you relate to yourself with greater compassion, and to your life with greater clarity and intention.
