Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
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.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Deborah Hahn
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I work with adults who want more than short-term coping strategies—they want to understand themselves more deeply and live with greater clarity, intention, and alignment. Many of the people I see are thoughtful and capable but feel stuck in repeating patterns, carrying unresolved trauma, or navigating complicated relational dynamics that are difficult to untangle alone.
My approach to therapy is both relational and active. Together we explore the connections between past experiences, present stressors, and the ways your nervous system and relationships have adapted over time. I integrate practical tools with deeper insight work so therapy becomes a place not only to talk, but to make meaningful change.
I have particular interest in working with complex trauma, narcissistic abuse, religious or spiritual harm, and the unique challenges faced by helping professionals and leaders who are used to supporting others but rarely have space to process their own experiences.
For clients who find movement helpful in the healing process, I also offer walk-and-talk sessions as an option alongside traditional office or telehealth therapy.
Whether you are seeking clarity after a difficult relationship, healing from trauma, navigating questions of identity or faith, or simply trying to understand why certain patterns keep repeating, therapy can be a place to move forward with greater confidence and direction.
