Internal Family Systems
Sarah Epstein
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Sarah is now accepting new virtual and in-person clients for February 2023!
My clients are caregivers who feel anxious, depressed, and utterly burned-out from giving so much of themselves. They often identify as the peacemakers in their families and friend groups. Many lived through childhoods where they were the "mature" child and were expected to be low maintenance. Many of my clients struggle chronically with family relationships. Many struggle to identify and go after what they want professionally and personally. They may struggle to separate their wisehs from what is expected of them or will make them look impressive.
My clients also come in as families wanting to work through long-standing conflict and issues that keep them interacting in predictable, patterned ways.
Finally, I treat trauma and emotional distress using EMDR therapy.

Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
I specialize in EMDR therapy to help individuals heal from trauma and narcissistic abuse, and to return to a place of self-love and emotional balance. Experiences of childhood physical, emotional or sexual abuse can remain stuck in the body, as can instances of narcissistic abuse. These have the potential to contribute to symptoms of depression, anxiety, and hypervigilance as well as problems successfully navigating relationships and managing daily living. I utilize EMDR therapy to change the way these negative memories are stored in the brain, and help you achieve a place of resolution and peace. As a neuropsychologist, I can help you condition your thoughts and rewire your brain for happiness and success.

Erica Brown
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
You put a lot energy into trying to please others and make sure their needs are met. You silence your own needs and find it difficult to say no or set boundaries. You find yourself overwhelmed with supporting everyone else and maybe lose your cool from time to time when you don't receive the support you need. The guilt and shame you experience from these minor (or major) blowups pushes you back into silence and you're caught in a vicious cycle. You feel invisible, alone, and disconnected from those around you. You're ready to make a change, to figure out how to use your voice, you're just not sure how or where to start. Reach out to schedule a free consultation and let me help you take the next step.

Cara Waters
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCDC-I
Are you tired of unhealthy relationships? Do you struggle to accept yourself? My vision is to help LGBTQ+ grow in ways they never imagined possible. I provide individual and couple counseling to those dealing with trauma, addiction and codependence. I especially enjoy working with couples. I serve the LGBTQ+ community, and I am proud to be part of that community as well. I am very passionate about helping my clients become authentically themselves in every way. I provide support for LGBTQ+ clients who are navigating negative experiences, sexuality/gender issues, trauma, relationship issues and spiritual/religious abuse. I take what I have learned through experience and education and assist my clients in the areas that create stress, anxiety and depression.
