Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
Have you made time and space for you today? Most of us haven't—and therapy isn't the only way to do it. Consider Holistic Life Coaching instead. As a certified professional coach, I am here to encourage you to take a breath, take a beat to consider who you are, where you are, and if you are feeling satisfaction in your own success. If you aren't, I invite you to have a conversation with yourself about what can be done differently—allow me to moderate that conversation. Together we can help you live into your own definition of success and begin to feel it deeply. To breathe it in and live.

Dr. John Monopoli
Psychologist, PhD
If you’re feeling stuck, isolated, irritable, frustrated, doing things you don't want to, and seeking change -- let's talk. I see clients for individual therapy, and work primarily with millennials and Gen Z'ers who are experiencing anxiety, depression, and/or ADHD. Many of my clients are early or mid-career professionals balancing work and family demands, dealing with relationship stress, and working through challenging family dynamics. My specialties go along with associated challenges in this group: establishing healthy boundaries, listening to your instincts, and taking care of your self. I also have specific training working with social anxiety and ADHD.

Dr. Kristyn Neckles
Psychologist, Psy.D.
You may be successful, capable, and accustomed to handling a lot, yet still find yourself feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious, or simply tired of holding everything together. Perhaps you are navigating burnout, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, a major life transition, or the pressure of being the person others consistently depend on.
I work with adults and couples who want more than a place to simply talk. Together, we make sense of the patterns keeping you stuck, strengthen the tools you already possess, and develop practical strategies for meaningful and lasting change. My approach is warm, collaborative, culturally responsive, and gently direct, with therapy tailored to your experiences, values, relationships, and goals.
You do not have to wait until life is falling apart to seek support. Therapy can also be a space to pause, gain clarity, strengthen your relationships, reconnect with yourself, and decide how you want to move forward. My goal is to help you move beyond simply managing life toward living with greater intention, connection, and resilience.

Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness
Psychologist, PhD, JD
At the Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness, we believe everyone can benefit from therapy. From the time we’re young, we’re taught how to take care of our physical health and our bodies, but we’re not generally taught how to manage our thoughts and emotions so we can take care of our mental wellbeing. Many people never seek psychological help, and others may only seek it when they are experiencing a crisis. We aim to change this. We believe that investing in your psychological health is essential to overall wellbeing, no matter your life circumstances. Life is challenging, and everyone can use support. We believe in providing care across the spectrum of psychological health, and in fostering mental and emotional wellbeing in addition to treating mental illness. We believe strongly in providing only evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapies: therapy that has proven to be effective through copious research studies. We also employ only doctoral-level clinicians who are highly trained experts in providing these evidence-based services.

Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
You deserve a space where you don’t have to explain or shrink who you are. I work from a queer-affirming, trans-affirming, and trauma-informed lens to support individuals navigating identity, transition, relationships, and major life changes. Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from their authenticity, or unsure of the next step. Together we create space to slow down, explore, and reconnect with yourself.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in empowerment. Whether you're questioning, in transition, or working through old patterns, I’m here to support you in building a life that feels aligned with your truth. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you feel seen, grounded, and understood.

Robin Kaye Stilwell
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., L.M.F.T.
With many years of experience, I bring an eclectic, interactive approach to therapy. We each see the world through our unique lens, as well as how we see ourselves in relationships; all influenced by the larger systems we are part of. These different perspectives are honored. My style is to create a relaxed atmosphere , and our work is guided by our conversation. I listen for underlying patterns of behavior. This shapes my perceptions as to what interventions will be most beneficial. .
