Emily Crawford-Thompson Ph.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
I recognize the courage that seeking help requires, and I am honored be a part of your healing journey. To me, this is much more than a job or even a career. This is my life’s calling. I specialize in helping people recover from various traumas and effects of trauma including Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I also specialize in helping neurodivergent individuals, including diagnosis and treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). I enjoy respectful collaboration to encourage you to discover and build on your inner resources and strengths. I incorporate evidence-based approaches including Psychological Evaluations, Interpersonal Therapy, and Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD. Every person has a unique and important purpose, and I look forward to helping you discover yours. I am a genuine and compassionate person who can also be direct with you if you need a little challenge; yet, my style is gentle enough that you may not even realize you are being challenged! People tend to open up and feel at ease with me, and benefit from improved insight and perspective with my questions which guide you to better understand yourself, your life direction, values, strengths, and purpose.

Dr. Rue PLLC
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Do you feel like you’re always keeping it together on the outside, even when everything feels overwhelming inside? Maybe you’ve achieved so much, but the constant pressure to do more and be more never lets up. Do you find yourself replaying past experiences or carrying the emotional weight of things you thought you’d moved on from? Perhaps you’re caught in patterns like saying “yes” when you’re exhausted, avoiding conflict, or struggling to feel like you’re truly enough, no matter how much you do. These are the effects of trauma and high-functioning anxiety, and they can leave you feeling stuck and disconnected.
I specialize in helping individuals with high-functioning anxiety, trauma, grief, and self-doubt. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT and ACT, I help clients break free from patterns that no longer serve them and create space for healing and growth. Together, we’ll challenge the beliefs that keep you feeling overwhelmed, build tools to manage stress, and reconnect you with your own needs and goals.
Therapy is more than just talking; it’s about real, actionable change. If you’re ready to stop surviving and start thriving, let’s connect. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation today, and let’s work together to create a life where you feel calm, confident, and whole.

CBT
Dr. Vanessa Vitiello
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Choosing a therapist, especially during pregnancy or postpartum, can feel like a vulnerable and important decision. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and able to show up as you are. I specialize in working with women navigating anxiety, feelings of overwhelm, and perfectionism during pregnancy, postpartum, and early motherhood. Many of my clients are used to holding it all together, yet feel anxious, stretched thin, or disconnected during this transition. This can be completely disorienting, leaving you feeling like it is hard to ask for support.
My approach is integrative and holistic, combining evidence-based therapy with mindfulness and mind–body practices. With my background as a psychologist and training as a yoga teacher, I help clients not only gain insight, but also feel more regulated and capable.
I offer a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where we can make sense of your experience and develop tools that feel realistic and sustainable. Therapy with me is about creating space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with a clearer sense of what they need and how to care for themselves

CBT
Unchained Brain LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
Unchained Brain is built on the belief that therapy should help you make sense of your experiences, not just cope with them. I work with adults who want a thoughtful and supportive approach to therapy, especially when stress, anxiety, cognitive concerns, or health changes begin to affect daily life. Clients often tell me they feel heard, understood, and relieved to finally connect the dots between their thoughts, emotions, and brain functioning. If you’re looking for a therapist who combines compassion with clarity, and helps you move forward with confidence, I’d love to connect. Clients often seek me out when they want clarity, structure, and a deeper understanding of how the brain, emotions, and daily functioning are connected, including support with thinking skills, organization, and cognitive changes.

When life feels heavy, you do not have to carry it alone! Reaching out is a brave first step toward healing.

You can show up exactly as you are and be met with empathy, grace, and genuine care. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, safe, and supported as you heal and grow. Christian faith can be integrated if desired.
