Athenia Teng

You're living the life you're working hard for and maybe in a relationship that fits the bill, but you feel deep down that something's off, like you’re living someone else’s story. Your inner world doesn't quite match the outside—inside, you feel overwhelmed, down, and not enough, and in this world, maybe different and othered. You crave to be listened to non-judgmentally, be fully seen and accepted, and ultimately have a loving and healthy relationship with yourself and those around you.

Christine Ibarra

I specialize in two main types of clients - those who require a deep understanding of trauma and those with neurodivergent characteristics; think military Veterans and the ASD population. My clients are trying to make sense of their lives through a conversational exploration style that is far from cold or clinical. I am simply here to create a truly safe space for you to explore your thoughts, help you process experiences, and begin to enjoy life again.

Courtland McPherson

You are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, unfulfilled. Maybe your relationship feels like it is crashing and burning. Or maybe you feel like you friend circle has shrunk or that you are the last person standing with no romantic prospects. Maybe you are a parent just trying to get through the day. You have lost motivation, direction, and a sense of purpose. You are not sure when it started but you do not feel the same. Maybe you just feel alone and the voice in your head is saying “what is wrong?”

Theo Kuczek

You're looking for someone who will be straight with you. You like to be educated about psychological concepts to understand and support your growth and healing inside and outside of sessions.

You want your therapist to be a real person with you in session, someone who shares stories about their own experience in life if it helps you grow.

Lisa Hobson

We would begin our work together by defining your therapeutic goals, and understanding how they interact with your social context, your skills, your assets, and your challenges. We would talk about coping strategies, self-care, and boundaries. You would risk adopting new thoughts, perspectives, and behaviors. You would commit to working on yourself outside of our sessions, where it really matters. And, after all your hard work you would be ready to celebrate your successes.

I have a special interest in supporting male identified folks, emerging adults (16 and up), people in relationships (romantic or otherwise), and parents or caregivers.

Connor Tindall

My clients come to therapy for a wide variety of reasons. Many struggle with depression, anxiety, or past trauma. Others require assistance through difficult circumstances, such as relationship issues, life transitions, grief, and work or academic stress. Others feel lost and unsure of where to go next in life. All of them want relief, and all of them wish to be understood. I strive to help them in an understanding and compassionate way.
