James Parker
Psychologist, PhD
I view therapy as a collaborative interaction in service of understanding the best forms of quality human relating. My approach to therapy is primarily guided by Coherence Therapy. Coherence Therapy is an approach to treatment that is different from many others in that - instead of focusing on what is "negative" or "wrong" and trying to change or alter it - the purpose is to genuinely understand a person's symptoms; to curiously explore why maintaining certain patterns of thinking and behavior is emotionally necessary, even when a person is feeling stuck because of those patterns. Understanding the symptom leads to identifying the underlying emotional reasons of why we do things and addresses the cause of feeling stuck, not just the symptom, which leads to meaningful and lasting changes.

Linda Michlin Ludwig
Psychologist, Ph.D.
My training (Yale University Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology; four-year postdoctoral Certificate in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy) is broad and varied. I currently practice individual therapy and group therapy, both online. My approach to working with you will depend to a great degree on what you are seeking. Some people benefit from brief treatment; others seek and benefit from a deeper and longer exploration. I believe the combination of individual and group therapy can be particularly beneficial for many people. My work is guided as much by my own years of personal therapy and psychoanalysis as by my formal education.

Meredith Luttrell
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCPC, Clinical Supervisor
I believe that real change begins the moment someone feels truly seen — not managed, not minimized, but genuinely understood. My approach is collaborative and deeply human. I bring both clinical precision and warmth to every session, because I think the best therapy holds space for both the hard truths and the hope that something different is possible.
When you work with me, I want you to feel accepted exactly as you are — not as a diagnosis, not as a set of symptoms, but as a whole person navigating something really difficult. My clients often describe feeling like they can finally exhale — like they've found a space where nothing they say will be met with judgment, and where someone is genuinely in their corner. I work hard to understand not just what you're going through, but what makes you you.
And while I hold space for wherever you are right now, I also hold hope — sometimes on your behalf, before you're able to hold it yourself. I believe every person who walks through my door is deserving of healing, connection, and a life that feels livable. My job is to help you believe that too, and to walk alongside you as you build it.

Camille Larsen
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LAC
If you are ready to get to, and resolve core, underlying issues, I may be a great fit. I bring a wealth of internal resources to help you. I engage in the therapy process and actively guide you in sessions to help advance every opportunity for change that we encounter. Together, we'll keep your goals close as we work to shift the internal blocks that keep you from what you want most.
In addition to being a Licensed Professional Counselor, I am also a Licensed Addiction Counselor, having treated addiction for over a decade in residential, group, and private, individual settings. My work is discrete and non-shaming. If you need completing DUI therapy requirements, contact me about the program I use that satisfies most state's requirements.
