Ciera Coyan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I love meeting clients exactly where they are at. I often work with folks who can be very self-critical, usually because they've learned to believe harmful messages about themselves. They might have heard that they aren't good enough because of their beliefs, their sexuality, their neurodivergent brains, or any number of reasons. I help my clients learn to change that narrative. To honestly and fearlessly look at themselves with compassion and acceptance. It's only from that place of compassionate acceptance that can we create meaningful, lasting change.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I believe every human being has inherent value, yet so many of us carry deep shame from past experiences that tell us otherwise—messages like “I’m bad,” “I’m too much,” “I’m unlovable,” or “If I show myself, I’ll be rejected.” These beliefs can quietly shape how we see ourselves, our relationships, and what we think is possible. In therapy, I work to help uncover and soften these old burdens so they no longer hold you back. My style is warm, collaborative, and deeply respectful of the courage it takes to show up. Together, we’ll build a space where you can feel seen in your wholeness, reconnect with your own inner wisdom, and move toward a life that feels freer and more grounded.

Matthew Wolfe
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, MHP
I believe that counseling should support building the life you want to live. In the lead up to action we may need to account for the systems we operate in, our authentic values and goals, and our established coping strategies. As you get a fuller picture of your experience, it will become clearer what the next steps are.

Hannah Muetzelfeld
Psychologist, PhD
In our work together, we'll focus on identifying your inner strengths, building coping tools rooted in your values, and creating a meaningful, realistic path toward healing. Emotional pain is something we often try to avoid, but real growth begins when we allow ourselves to fully experience and understand those feelings. My approach centers around shifting from emotional avoidance to emotional acceptance. I work through an attachment-based lens, recognizing how early experiences shape our current relationships and emotional patterns. I also frequently incorporate self-compassion practices to help you relate to yourself with more kindness and care.

Christina Sheehan
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LMHC
You don’t have to explain away your sensitivity here—I speak your language. My practice specializes in helping highly sensitive, deep-feeling women untangle perfectionism, self-doubt, and the wounds of past relationships. What makes this work powerful is the mix of insight, realness, and radical permission I bring into the room. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you—it’s about helping you come home to yourself. If you're ready to stop shrinking and start showing up as the truest version of you, let’s talk.

Jed Jacobson
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
In a world that can feel isolating and overwhelming, you might be struggling with connection, stuck in old patterns, or feeling like something is missing. You don't have to figure it out alone. I specialize in working with men who are struggling with old unproductive habits, isolation, and the challenges of intimacy in relationships.

Navjoat Kaur
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSWAIC
What makes my therapy approach meaningful is the blend of warmth, cultural awareness, and practical support I bring into every session. Clients often tell me they feel genuinely seen and understood, sometimes for the first time, because I take the time to learn their story, honor their lived experiences, and meet them where they are. I focus on helping people make real, lasting shifts in how they relate to themselves and the people they care about, without judgment or pressure. If you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of your next step, reaching out is a powerful place to start. I’d be honored to support you in building clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of emotional wellbeing.

Dr. Misty Gibson
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LMHC, LCPC, LPC, CST-S, ACS
Clients often tell me that working with me feels like finally being able to exhale. My practice is grounded in genuine care, deep clinical expertise, and a commitment to honoring the full complexity of your identity, your relationships, and your nervous system. You do not have to mask, explain yourself, or fit into a narrow idea of what healing should look like. Here you get thoughtful guidance, clear-eyed support, and a therapeutic space that respects both your boundaries and your brilliance. If you are ready for therapy that actually feels like it was built for you, I would love to connect and help you move toward a more regulated, connected, and satisfying life.
