Kody Evans
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
You may know something needs to change but feel unsure where to begin. I work with adults, couples, and families navigating relationship challenges, ADHD, anxiety, family conflict, parenting stress, and major life transitions. My approach is compassionate and direct, we’ll look honestly at what isn’t working, understand what is getting in the way, and develop practical ways to move forward. Therapy should be more than a place to talk; it should help you create change you can feel in your relationships and everyday life.

My style is warm, collaborative, and practical. We can explore what you are experiencing, build on your strengths, and choose manageable steps that fit your goals and everyday life.

Lois Spence
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LMHCA
If you’re in a season of change and feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or stuck, you’re not alone. I help people reconnect with themselves, clarify what matters most, and move forward with more confidence and peace. I specialize in supporting clients through life transitions such as career changes, new parenthood, divorce, relationship shifts, and the empty-nester stage.
My approach is supportive, honest, and grounded. Therapy with me is a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without judgment, and begin building a life that feels more aligned and authentic. I welcome clients of all backgrounds, identities, and lived experiences. This practice is inclusive and affirming of all bodies, genders, religions, sexual identities, abilities, relationship structures, and countries of origin. I look forward to connecting with you.

Cascade Psychological Services, PLLC
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
I work especially well with thoughtful, capable people who may understand themselves intellectually yet continue to feel caught in patterns they cannot resolve through insight or effort alone. Many of my patients are accustomed to functioning well, carrying responsibility, and caring for others while privately struggling with anxiety, depletion, shame, emotional overwhelm, or disconnection from themselves.
What distinguishes my practice is the depth and individuality of the work. I do not reduce people to diagnoses or apply the same treatment formula to everyone. I seek to understand how your history, relationships, identities, strengths, and protective strategies have shaped your inner world. I am attentive not only to what you tell me, but also to what may be difficult to articulate, what repeatedly gets enacted in relationships, and what unfolds between us in therapy.
My style is thoughtful, engaged, and collaborative. I respect complexity and do not impose artificial urgency, but I am not passive. I will help us notice when fear, avoidance, or familiar patterns begin to limit what feels possible. My goal is to offer a relationship in which you can become more fully known, develop a different relationship with your internal experience, and gain greater freedom to choose how you want to live.

Vanessa Hooper
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, PMH-C
My therapeutic roots are in attachment and complex trauma, the relational wounds that shape how we move through the world and who we let close. I work with anyone navigating the layered terrain of identity and connection. For couples, I specialize in ENM and polyamorous relationships, interracial and cross-cultural partnerships, and discernment counseling for couples weighing whether to stay or go. I also work with individuals carrying complex childhood or relational trauma—the kind that doesn’t just affect how you feel, but how you attach, trust, and show up in relationships. My clients often feel caught between worlds, wanting to feel seen and understood without having to explain everything. In our work, we slow down, explore what’s happening underneath the surface, and create room for healing and growth.

Carolyne Mburu-Gerena
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC
My approach to mental health care is collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in the belief that each person’s story matters. I work with teens and adults who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, and life transitions. My goal is to create a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward meaningful change.
In our work together, I combine psychiatric medication management with brief therapeutic support. This allows us to address symptoms while also exploring practical strategies that improve daily functioning, resilience, and overall wellbeing. I believe mental health is influenced by many factors, including stress, sleep, lifestyle, and physical health. I take a whole-person approach when developing treatment plans.
Seeking help can be a big step, and my role is to walk alongside you in that process. Together, we focus on identifying what is getting in the way of the life you want to live and creating a path forward that feels realistic and sustainable.
My goal is not only to help reduce symptoms but to support you in building a life that feels balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with your values.
