Johanna Isaacs
Psychologist, Psy.D., PsyPACT Participant
Do you find yourself gripped by worry and struggling to get enough things done in a day, no matter what you do? You may be fed up with your endless to-do list that never gets done, feeling guilty that you are not good enough. You might not even remember a time things didn't feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you're ready for some relief. You're ready to make choices in your life that line up with what is important to you. You're ready to learn new skills to feel calm everyday. Most of all, you're ready to embrace who you are and enjoy your life.

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.

Molly Rosenstein
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
The decision to pursue therapy can be a difficult one and I honor that decision by creating a warm, comfortable, and non-judgmental environment where clients can feel safe to explore their experiences, emotions, and behavioral patterns. I prioritize working at a pace that feels comfortable for each individual client as I understand that being vulnerable, self-reflecting and revisiting difficult experiences can be new and overwhelming.
Chronic life stressors and sudden changes can make it challenging to access one’s innate strengths and abilities. I see myself as a guide, helping clients reveal and strengthen their natural abilities as well as develop new skills so that they can flourish and create more meaningful, satisfying and unburdened lives.

Ashika Dickerson
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC
At On Mental Health Matters, I believe that exceptional mental health care is built on trust, compassion, and individualized treatment. My goal is to create a welcoming, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to take meaningful steps toward lasting emotional wellness.
I'm passionate about caring for the whole person, and I understand how daunting seeking mental healthcare can be. With more than 25 years of healthcare experience and advanced training as a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide evidence-based medication management and supportive psychotherapy tailored to your unique needs. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, I take the time to understand your story, identify the root causes of your symptoms, and develop a treatment plan that aligns with your goals, values, and lifestyle.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, a trauma survivor, and someone with a chronic pain disorder; I approach the work that I do from a place of empathy and personal understanding. I have an intense passion for understanding personal identity and the way race, culture, class, and sexuality come together to form what we believe about ourselves and what we feel we can accomplish in our lives. Anxiety and trauma can live in our bodies - together we will create a relationship that fosters dynamic and lasting growth, tapping into undiscovered reserves of resiliency that will help navigate the past and prepare for a more hopeful future.

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.

Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
You're good at what you do. You're that friend or family member that people reach out to for advice. You are the one that keeps things running for everyone else. And yet, you are reaching burnout, putting up with an inner critic that constantly questions whether everything you do is enough. If you are looking to build a more sustainable relationship with your work, connect with me. I support high-achieving professionals navigating imposter syndrome, burnout, and work/life balance.
Many of my clients are first-generation professionals, or professionals at multilateral development orgs (e.g., the World Bank, IDB, IMF) and the government, facing career disruption. I work with late-diagnosed ADHD, autistic, and OCD adults exhausted from masking and ready to understand themselves without pathologizing who they are.
I believe clear goals and measurable progress are a form of respect for your time and your struggle. That's why I offer structure and a goal-oriented framework through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches, delivered entirely through secure video sessions. As an immigrant and first-generation professional myself, I offer a space to build genuine self-understanding, practical skills, and the confidence to advocate for yourself, in English or Spanish, wherever you are.

Amanda Shrekenhamer
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC
*I am currently accepting new clients*
I’m glad you are here. Reaching out to find support can be the hardest step. I can be difficult to know how to move forward in your personal life, work, or academics when fear, anxiety, or depression are making you feel stuck.
I often find that when one hits a crossroad in their life, it can sometimes bring stress, but also has the capacity to create growth and resilience. Whether it’s experiencing overwhelming feelings of loneliness, trying to find your footing as a parent, coping with a difficult boss or colleague, or navigating the loss of a relationship, having a nonjudgmental and supportive space to work on areas of growth can make all of the difference.
I believe that positive change most readily occurs when the right balance of accountability and self compassion is achieved. To that end, I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment where you can truly feel supported.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, LCMHC
I'm a licensed psychotherapist with a passion for helping women navigate the emotional challenges that arise throughout adulthood. My work focuses on anxiety, depression, trauma, and the psychological impact of life transitions, including perimenopause, menopause, and aging.
I recognize that changes in our bodies, emotions, and circumstances can influence how we see ourselves and experience the world. My goal is to provide a compassionate, supportive environment where clients feel comfortable exploring these experiences, gaining insight, and discovering new ways to support their emotional well-being.
My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and engaging. I believe meaningful change happens when clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to take an active role in their personal growth.

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.

Denise Jones
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, LCSW-C
If you've landed here, welcome! You're reading the bio of a practitioner who exclusively offers EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy. Unlike other therapists who may take an EMDR class or two, I am a Certified EMDR Therapist as well as a consultant for other professionals who want to strengthen their skills using this evidence-based modality. I stay actively connected to a national and international network of professionals who are dedicated to EMDR treatment and research; my colleagues describe me as thoughtful in the construction and conceptualization of client treatment goals. They also note that I can effectively integrate EMDR with other modalities as warranted. It's my hope your finding this information will lead you to think EMDR may be the right treatment - and I may be the right therapist - for you!
