Hannah Hayden with Sapphire Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I believe therapy is most effective when people feel genuinely seen, understood, and accepted. My approach blends evidence-based interventions with authenticity, curiosity, and a deep respect for each person's unique story. Rather than focusing solely on symptom reduction, I help clients better understand themselves, challenge the patterns that keep them stuck, and create meaningful, lasting change. Whether I'm working with clients, supervising clinicians, or speaking to other mental health professionals, my goal is the same: to foster authentic human connection as the foundation for healing.

Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Many of the women I work with are capable, caring, and used to holding everything together, even when it comes at the cost of their own bandwidth. From the outside, life may look steady, but internally there can be tension, exhaustion, or a quiet sense of disconnection. I offer trauma informed, relational therapy for women who are ready to understand themselves more deeply and find a way of living that feels more sustainable. My work is grounded in attachment and nervous system awareness, and I approach therapy as a collaborative process rooted in genuine conversation rather than quick fixes. If you are looking for a space where you can show up honestly and feel met as a whole person, I invite you to connect for a consultation.

Colby Schepps
Psychologist, Psy.D.
There is no better time than this current moment to lean in and learn more about what is standing between you and where you want to be. It may be a past trauma, recent lack of motivation, relationship conflict, work stress, or more than likely, its some combination of things that are keeping you stuck. You probably have the knowledge and skills to know what you could do, and need some help figuring out how to actually do it. Therapy is an experience where you can get clear on what you want and how you want to live, and start taking meaningful and measurable steps in that direction with someone you trust walking alongside you. I would love to be a part of that process with you.
I work to help you learn about what you are already doing well, because you absolutely are already doing many things well, and use those skills and strengths to improve in other areas. Using your values as a roadmap, we will identify goals and practice skills to move in your chosen direction. Learning in a nonjudgmental, compassionate, light-hearted environment will allow you to utilize the knowledge and skills independently and across many domains of life.
I have been providing therapy for more than a decade, spending most of my early career treating Veterans and Active Duty Service Members in a VA setting. Now, I work with adults of all backgrounds and identities to clarify their values, live more consistently with those values, and live the lives they really want to live. Client-therapist match is so important to effective therapeutic work, so I encourage you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation call so that you can feel sure about taking this next step. I hope that you do and I look forward to meeting you.

Paul T. Haefner, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
I came to this work by two roads that turned out to be one. I trained as a clinical psychologist with a physics degree behind me and a lifelong love of horses beside me and for more than 30 years I've helped people change in ways that last.
When I founded Riding Far, I expected to coach elite competitors chasing a mental edge. Instead, the people who walked through my door were often carrying something heavier: fear after a bad fall, the ache of an injury, the sting of a relationship — human or equine — that had gone wrong. That taught me what my work is really about. Not fixing people, but helping them feel safe enough to be fully themselves again, and to stay connected while they do it.
Whether you sit across from me by video or beside me at the office, my promise is the same: I'll meet you where you are, take your story seriously, and help you find your way forward with honesty, warmth, and courage.
