Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Kimberlee Zetocha Halverson
Psychologist, Ph.D, LP
I help people create more balance in their lives by learning when to pause, be present, and step out of the constant pressure of “what’s next.” Many individuals find themselves shaped by old patterns or past experiences that make it hard to move forward. My approach focuses on helping you ride the waves of life with greater resilience—navigating the unpredictable storms rather than feeling anchored in them. While we can’t prepare for every unexpected moment, we can build the tools and skills to manage whatever comes our way. Tides shift, storms pass, and calmer waters are possible.
I don’t believe in a one‑size‑fits‑all approach. I tailor treatment to your preferences, goals, schedule, and life circumstances. I also offer structured, evidence‑based therapies when a more guided path is helpful. With over 15 years of experience supporting individuals with a wide range of concerns, I bring both flexibility and clinical depth to the work we do together.
For more information, please visit my website. You’ll find a secure, private patient portal with built‑in video sessions, scheduling, communication, and payment options—all in one encrypted, easy‑to‑use platform, including a mobile app for added convenience.

Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Dr. Brittany Jacobson
Psychologist, PhD, CST
I specialize in trauma therapy, PTSD, relationship issues, sexual concerns, body image, self-esteem, stress, and nervous system dysregulation. Many of the clients I work with feel stuck in patterns that affect their relationships, self-worth, or ability to feel grounded in their body and daily life. My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and holistic, blending talk therapy with emotional processing and mind-body awareness to support meaningful and sustainable change.
In our work together, I focus on creating a safe and collaborative space where we can slow down and understand the deeper roots of what you’re experiencing. This often includes exploring how past experiences, stress responses, and relationship patterns are affecting you now. I will help you in healing the past and reducing worry about the future, so you can find more joy and peace in the present moment. Sessions will go at your pace and be personalized to your needs, with an emphasis on building self-trust, emotional regulation, and greater ease in your life. I'm always happy to talk more about how my approach can help with your specific concerns. Feel free to contact me to schedule a free 15 minute consultation!

Motivational Interviewing (MI)
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.
