Karen Hartfield, MA, LMHC, Fearless Heart Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Sandplay Therapist with STA
It is my desire to provide a place of safety and acceptance in which people may explore their feelings, process current and past experiences, and come to a better understanding of themselves. It is my goal to provide adolescents and adults with whatever assistance I can in their journeys to recognize and claim their own inner strength.

Dr. Sheena Sikorski
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
Do you constantly feel like you're never good enough? Do you feel like you compare yourself to other people and think they're so much better looking or smarter than you? Do you feel like you have to wear a mask and pretend you're someone you're not just to get people to like you, not leave you, or reject you? If you said 'yes' to any or all of these questions, you've come to the right place. These are common signs of perfectionism and people-pleasing, my specialty! If you're ready to roll up your sleeves and put in the work to find and use your voice to share your opinions and needs, feel safe being vulnerable so you can deepen your emotional connections, and learn how to compassionately hold yourself accountable when you make a mistake, this can be your reality with the scientifically based tools you'll learn with me as your guide. I'd love to hear from you- reach out by sending me a message through my profile on here so we can talk about next steps for working together.

Becca Edwards
Therapist, LMSW, Ed.S., M.ed
I became a therapist because I believe people deserve a space where they can feel truly seen, understood, and accepted for who they are. I care deeply about creating therapy that is compassionate, inclusive, and anti-oppressive—because I believe our identities, relationships, communities, and lived experiences all matter in the therapy room. My goal is to meet you where you are, without judgment or assumptions, and work alongside you to better understand yourself, heal, and create meaningful change. I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, betrayal trauma, relationships, ADHD, and life transitions, and I strive to make therapy a space where you can show up as your whole self.

Emily Hurlin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LISW, LCSW
Most couples who reach out to me have already tried talking it through, sometimes for years, and they're worn out from having the same fight in slightly different words. I work differently. Drawing on PACT, Somatic Experiencing, and EMDR, I help partners notice what's happening in their bodies and nervous systems when things go sideways, so change sticks where insight alone hasn't. I work with betrayal, gridlocked conflict, intimacy struggles, blended families, and couples preparing for marriage. If you're ready for something more than communication tips, I'd be glad to hear from you.

Dr. Madelyn Satz
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Life is challenging. All of us will deal with difficulty at some point in our lives, and many of us will face repeated struggles. We have a hand in some of these troubles and others we have no control over. But we always have control over how we interpret events, how we relate to them, how we make sense of them, and what we do as a result. There is validity in whatever way we view our situation, but as a starting place, not the only place, and we can move through and beyond into a clearing of many more and better possibilities.
I have many tools and techniques and strategies to shift perspective from deeply painful to healing and expansion. Despite how vulnerable we are in life, there is also a great deal of thriving that is available to us - when we know how to harness it.
