Tiffany Taylor
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCMHC, NCC, CCMHC
I love working with people who want someone direct, are motivated to work both in and out of sessions, and have been trying their best to do it all themselves but can't anymore. I enjoy supporting people who have attempted to leave a touch childhood behind but is finding that all of that old pain is affecting their relationships, work, the way they feel about themselves, or are suddenly afraid and anxious when they used to feel like they could take on anything. I love helping you find your way to feeling confident again, or maybe for the first time.

Lindsey Luedtke
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
As a Certified Internal Family Systems Therapist (IFS), I help clients shift the relationship they have to their inner world and their lived experience. We can permanently shift symptoms of depression, anxiety, C-PTSD, attachment, anger, and grief that block your experience of joy and pleasure by getting to know yourself in a new way and increasing more compassion for what has happened or is happening to you. I also enjoy working with therapists who are interested in learning the IFS model by working with their own system.

Dr. Heather Sheets
Psychologist, PsyD
I work with adults navigating life transitions, anxiety, relationship issues and challenges. I also have a special focus on men’s mental health, including the unique emotional struggles that come with divorce, separation, and relationship transitions. My therapeutic approach is strength-based and grounded in cognitive behavioral, interpersonal psychotherapy, and narrative psychology. Successful therapy uncovers inner strengths that may have been quieted or overlooked — transforming emotional pain into resilience, insight, and growth. Together, we work to build not just relief from distress, but renewed clarity and strength.

Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
Fear, anxiety, anger, shame, guilt, sadness; we are taught to repress these uncomfortable emotions and mask our pain. When these BIG emotions are shoved down for so long, they try to get our attention in various ways. We push back harder. They often manifest as maladaptive behaviors, habits, addictions, and even chronic physical and psychological conditions. We may overeat, overwork, over-promise, people-please, self-sabotage, be unable to focus, thrill-seek, put ourselves in danger, act out, procrastinate, deplete our own resources, and more. The majority of this type of unwanted behavior and thinking often can be traced back to some form of trauma, abuse, abandonment, or neglect. My hypnotherapy sessions help to process the emotions in a safe and loving way, and facilitate healing; so you feel safe in your own mind and comfortable in your own skin. We simultaneously work on reframing the debilitating thoughts and behaviors with healthy and supportive new ones that support your new goals. It is in this way we let go of the old stories and rewrite the future of our dreams.
