Asher Lipner
Psychologist, Ph.D., SRT
I believe good therapy is more than symptom management. It’s about helping people understand themselves more honestly, develop greater emotional awareness, and build a life that feels more grounded, connected, and authentic.
Many of the people I work with feel stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand — anxiety, shame, compulsive behaviors, emotional disconnection, relationship struggles, or cycles of secrecy and self-criticism. Often, these struggles are not simply about “bad habits” or lack of willpower, but about deeper emotional and relational dynamics that have never been fully understood or addressed.
My style is warm, direct, thoughtful, and engaged. I aim to create a space where people can speak openly about subjects that are difficult to discuss elsewhere, without feeling judged, dismissed, or reduced to a diagnosis. I believe meaningful therapy requires both compassion and honesty: the ability to understand pain without losing sight of accountability, growth, and change.
I have particular experience helping individuals and couples struggling with compulsive sexual behavior, pornography addiction, betrayal trauma, intimacy difficulties, anxiety, shame, and trauma-related issues. I also work extensively with clients from religious and culturally sensitive communities, where these struggles often carry additional layers of secrecy, fear, and isolation.
Therapy can help people move from surviving on autopilot toward living with greater clarity, presence, integrity, and connection — both to themselves and to the people they care about most.

Emily Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MDiv, PhD, LMFT-S
For over two decades, I have been a student and a steward of the human story. My journey into the healing arts began at the intersection of the soul and the system—first through a Master of Divinity, then a Master of Arts in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling, and ultimately a PhD in Child and Family Studies. These chapters of my education taught me a singular truth: we do not live in isolation. We are deeply rooted in our attachments, our spiritualities, and the complex social constructs of power and equity that shape our everyday lives.
As a therapist, supervisor, and professor, I lead with courageous dialogue and radical curiosity. Whether I am working with a couple navigating the fallout of infidelity, an individual deconstructing a lifetime of spiritual trauma, or a queer youth seeking an affirming mirror, my goal is to create a space that is as respectful as it is transformative.
I am deeply committed to evidence-based, depth-oriented work. By integrating Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), EMDR, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help clients move beyond surface-level symptoms to address the relational and neurological roots of their distress.
One of the greatest honors of my life is serving as a "healer for the healers." I believe that therapists and pastors deserve the same sanctuary they provide for others—a place where they can lay down the mantle of leadership and find their own path to restoration.
When I am not in the therapy room or the classroom, I am often finding my own balance: lifting weights, enjoying live music with my wife, or finding a moment of quiet with a book and my Goldendoodle, Comet.
"The healing space that is generated between therapist and client... it is one of the greatest honors of my life. It never ceases to amaze me."

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.

Alan Jacobson, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, Nationally Registered Health Service Provider
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families to create meaningful, measurable change in how they feel, function, and relate to others. My approach is evidence-based, empathic, and solution-focused, with therapy centered on helping you achieve clear goals so that progress is noticeable in daily life. I work with a wide range of concerns—including anxiety, low mood, loss, self-doubt, and life transitions—and have particular expertise in performance psychology, public speaking anxiety, panic attacks, fear of flying, and questions of purpose or meaning. If you’re unsure whether therapy is the right next step, I also offer a one-time consultation assessment to help clarify what may be contributing to your current stress and identify effective pathways forward, whether through therapy or other strategies.
