Humble Steps Psychotherapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, APHSW-C
I often hear from clients and colleagues that my love for this work is palpable. This passion grew from my roots in Hospice and Palliative Care, where I considered it a profound privilege to be invited into the most intimate moments of a person's life. While tending to patients, I noticed that physical symptoms like insomnia, chronic pain, and fatigue often persisted despite medication. This sent me down a path of deep research into the link between traumatic experiences and physical suffering, ultimately leading me to specialize in EMDR, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and AEDP.
Because of this background, it is imperative for me to tend to the entirety of a person. I believe that being safely seen and felt by another, releasing traumatic burdens from the mind, and reclaiming the body are all integral to thriving. This is a journey I join alongside you, rooted in deep respect for the tenacity of the human spirit.

Reclaim Counseling, PLLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC
I specialize in trauma-focused healing and limerence therapy. I help overwhelmed people who have difficulty controlling their emotions, who have spent their lives feeling misunderstood, and who are constantly running from their painful childhoods and/or past re-connect to their authentic selves through healing their stressed nervous system, providing them tools which challenges their shame, and assisting them in creating new habits which give them emotional balance, newfound resiliency, and a sense of meaning.

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.

Arthur (Archie) Levine
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LMHC
I am now providing the full range of counseling and hypnotherapy services to you via an ACA compliant, secure video platform or via your telephone. I continue to bring the broad range of training and experience to my work as a therapist from over the past 30 years. You can now have personal, professional counseling & hypnotherapy services in the comfort and convenience of your own home, office, or even your car.
I have learned that each person has a unique background, unique problems, and unique strengths. I've learned the importance of gaining a thorough understanding of my clients' situation & the issues with which they are struggling, and what their goals are. I work to help each client cope with their life stressors, and to tap into the conscious & unconscious resources that will help them heal & grow, empowering them to make changes that they want for themselves and achieve their goals.

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.

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.

Amanda Smith
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW, ADHD-CCSP
I work with adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, chronic worry, depression, parenting challenges, and major life transitions. I have advanced credentialing in ADHD and specialize in supporting neurodivergent individuals, helping clients better understand how their unique brains work while building practical strategies for everyday life. I also diagnose ADHD in adults.
Whether you're managing the demands of college, balancing parenting responsibilities, or feeling overwhelmed by constant mental noise, therapy can provide a space to slow down, gain clarity, and create meaningful change.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. Together, we'll explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build on your strengths, and develop tools that support your goals and values. For clients who desire it, I also offer Christian counseling and can thoughtfully integrate faith into our work together.

Sarah Wolfer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
You deserve therapy that already gets you, not therapy where you spend half the hour explaining yourself. I'm Sarah, a queer, neurodivergent, non-monogamous, kink-informed LICSW with 14 years of experience, and I created Courageous You for people whose full selves have sometimes felt like too much for the therapy room. My specialties are Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and Somatic EMDR therapy - deeply supported, body-informed approaches that can help when trauma, depression, burnout, or long-held patterns just haven't shifted through talk therapy alone. I share these communities and identities myself, so you truly won't have to translate your life for me.

Melanie Carey
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA
You might be someone who has done a lot of inner work already. You understand your patterns, you’ve reflected deeply, and yet something still feels stuck — in your body, your relationships, or your creative life.
I work with highly sensitive, creative individuals who are often over-functioning on the outside but carrying a quieter sense of overwhelm, disconnection, or burnout within. Many of the people I work with are navigating anxiety, trauma, relational wounds, or creative blocks, and are looking for a kind of therapy that goes beyond coping skills into something more meaningful and lasting.
My approach is gentle, collaborative, and grounded in deep listening. I’m trained in psychodynamic therapy and Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy, which means we pay attention not only to your thoughts and experiences, but also to the subtle, body-based knowing that often holds the next step forward. Rather than rushing insight or forcing change, we create space for something more organic to unfold.
I believe healing happens in a space where you feel safe enough to slow down, curious enough to listen inward, and supported enough to be exactly where you are. From there, change tends to come in ways that feel more integrated, more sustainable, and more like your own.
