If you are looking for a therapist to work alongside of you, as you heal from trauma, address areas you are unhappy with, or to simply grow into healthier and happier habits, I would love to work with you!

Jason Hutchings
Psychologist, PsyD
My initial interest in psychotherapy was sparked by studies in history, music, visual art, and the major world religions. These seemingly disparate interests helped me understand individual narratives in the context of our larger collective history. We all have a sense of who we are and how the world works based on years of lived experience. By deepening the understanding of our personal narrative we prepare the way for a sense of meaning and purpose that can impact our lives and those around us in profound ways.

Allyse Teltser
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Some people come to therapy carrying years of pain they have never had the words for. Others come in the middle of a crisis, trying to hold themselves or their family together. Wherever you are starting from, this is a place where you do not have to minimize what you are going through or rush toward being okay.
I work with preteens, teens, adults, and families facing some of the hardest things a person can face — trauma, intense emotions, self-harm, depression, and the kind of suffering that does not show up neatly on the outside. My approach is direct, warm, and grounded in treatments that actually work. I will not shy away from the hard stuff, and I will not ask you to be further along than you are.
If you are ready to start, or just ready to ask a question, reach out for a free 15-minute consultation.

Kate Winderman
Psychologist, Ph.D., LP
From the outside, people might think you have it all together. But on the inside, it's a different story. Maybe you feel like your mind is a never ending loop of obsessive and anxious thoughts. Perhaps you feel completely stuck and a romantic relationship that is no longer serving you in its current state, and don't know how to fix it. Maybe you have noticed something isn't working well in your sex life, but feel too ashamed or embarrassed to know how to address it. Maybe you're a queer person, and need an affirming space to process your experience. Perhaps your history of trauma is holding you back from the life you want to live. Or maybe you just feel completely overwhelmed with all the responsibilities you carry, and just need a safe place to set down some of your mental load.
My hope is that if any of these resonate with you, you will reach out. Together, we can explore the issues that are currently bothering you by unpacking things at your own pace. Therapy with a non-judgmental, safe, and validating therapist can be a huge help in tackling life's difficulties. Your most authentic self is welcome here.

You DESERVE to be your best and full self and I believe I can help bring that to your life. Reach out and we can chat about your concerns and get started!
