Kate Morales

Feeling trapped in a cycle where each day blurs into the next, and the future seems as bleak as the past? Even with the support of loved ones, you might still find yourself feeling unseen and alone. In these moments, days lose their meaning, frustration mounts, and the thought of pushing away those you care about becomes all too common. When the idea of "If I can't bear to see my pain, who else would want to?" creeps in, it might be time to reach out. I am ready to join you, when you are ready.

Mendy Holliday

I help people who are struggling to develop a strong sense of self worth. I often work with people exploring identity and self esteem Who are experiencing symptoms like high anxiety, depression, difficulty coping with stress, and intrusive negative thoughts. Some therapists focus only on the symptoms which can feel incomplete. I listen deeply to hear what’s going on underneath. I help you process the old stories and beliefs held deep within that are cutting you off from your true self.

Ashlyn Bellamy

I work with relationships (couples, polycules, chosen family) and individuals. I specialize in working with LGBTQIA2S+ people. I am passionate about working with folks whose life experiences challenge mainstream norms and are deemed unconventional. Many of my clients are sensitive people with extrasensory awarenesses and spiritual and/or religious practices. My client's are brave cycle breakers, and I love supporting them as they embrace their truths.

Hailey Hughes

I specialize in trauma work and anxiety treatment. Although I welcome people from all identities and walks of life, I do have special experience working with queer-identifying individuals and teens. I also love working with self-identified "people pleasers", those who struggle with boundaries and survivors of abuse. I see you, and I would love to provide a safe and empowering place for you to start healing and giving yourself what you already provide for others.

Jackie Rodriguez

Existence; an intense struggle in a manmade world of suffering. Dissociative experiences and feeling unhuman is a response we can care for. Maybe you've gone through a profound trauma, such as psychosis or assault, and are looking for some way to pick up what feels like broken pieces. The goals my clients aim to achieve include fostering community and feeling connected to the liberation of all peoples, and sometimes it's just making it to the next day.

Michael Germany

Anxiety and trauma are a heavy burden, disconnecting us from our lives, loved ones, and even our sense of vitality and safety in our minds and bodies. To move past trauma and anxiety for good, we must foster safety in our lives, heal the source of our pain, and develop a felt sense of our own capacity to flourish. My practice is all about helping my clients through that process as a supportive companion and guide.

Megan Moon

Many of my clients feel stuck, overwhelmed, ashamed, and like their sense of self is inaccessible or reliant on other people. I specialize in working with people who did not receive the love and nurturance that they so deserved early in life and are therefore feeling disconnected from self love, self worth and are struggling in their adult relationships. All of our current behaviors were put into place for very good reason. They likely helped us survive. We can explore them more deeply together.

Krista Britton

I firmly believe that every one of us is born with inherent worth, strengths, and gifts. Sometimes what happens to us on life’s journey interferes with our ability to see those. Sometimes our self-worth seems elusive or lacking altogether. I have a passion for helping clients reclaim that self-worth and capitalize on those valuable strengths and gifts. Whether you have been struggling with addictions, compulsive behaviors, codependency, anxiety, depression, or more, I would be honored to help.

Sidrah Khan

My clients are highly motivated adults ready to reflect on the past to change their future. This is the space to explore your identities and practice unmasking. Redefine or hone each aspect of you, including gender, sexuality, dis/ability, neurodivergence, racial, and career identities as well as your social identities (geek, emo, etc). When you feel more like yourself, you will feel safe to connect with others and build communities where you can exist authentically.

When getting to know new clients, I come with an attitude of curiosity, empathy and unconditional positive regard. I specialize in childhood trauma, LGBTQ+ issues and church hurt.

Kim Tayler

You are curious and insightful. You want to understand yourself at a deeper level and are willing to look in to your internal world. You want to address family of origin issues. You have past trauma that you are ready to acknowledge. You may be feeling stuck in an addictive pattern, moving through a life transition, or maybe you just know something is "off" inside and you want to feel better. You strive to live free from past hurts and beliefs in an authentic, connected, peaceful way.

Deann Acton

I have noticed that often times creative, sensitive, intelligent people will have very unique problems in this world. They will carry around more anxiety from overthinking. They can become easily distracted and bored when they are not stimulated. And sometimes, intense emotional reactions can cycle into feelings of depression that can be difficult to navigate. I use creative interventions and positive coping strategies to help individuals find ways to be the best version of themselves.
