Hello, I am a Christian therapist. I love the call God has placed on my life to serve others. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and family issues.

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.

Dr. Katerina Nair
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
I believe therapy starts with having a safe place where you can be heard, understood, and accepted without judgment; a place where you can explore your experience, understand yourself more deeply, and begin to heal. I work with people navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, and anything else that may be causing distress, and I’m especially interested in how our past experiences and attachment patterns influence the way we relate to ourselves and the people around us. I believe the relationship we build in therapy can become a place when you feel safe exploring difficult things and work toward greater self-understanding and self-compassion.

Dr. Laura Testiler
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
Is parenthood turning out to be a lot harder than you expected? Pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood can bring anxiety, depression, irritability, overwhelm, and relationship stress that can feel isolating and difficult to explain. I’m a licensed psychologist and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Specialist (PMH-C) who helps new and expecting parents navigate these challenges with warmth, understanding, and practical support.
Whether you’re struggling with persistent worry, low mood, irritability, intrusive thoughts, anger and rage, changes in your relationship, or uncertainty about who you are in this new chapter, therapy can offer a private space to slow down and make sense of what you’re experiencing.
My approach is warm and collaborative, combining evidence-based strategies with a genuine understanding of the complexities of the transition to parenthood. If you'd like to learn more, please take a moment to check out my website. You can also call or email me to schedule a free 20-minute phone or video consultation. I’d love to see if we’re a good fit!
