Heather Audette - Ivy Path Counseling PLLC
Do you ever wonder how everyone else seems to have figured out how to balance everything, but you're still starting your papers at midnight the night before they're due? It feels like you're trying your best, but everything just keeps getting harder. Maybe you've been feeling anxious, stressed, and overwhelmed most days, and you're also starting to question whether you might be neurodivergent. And somehow, the more you learn about what might be going on for you, the more overwhelmed you feel. What if things could be just a little bit easier? If you could manage the stress and overwhelm, make time for the people and things that are important to you, learn to be okay with putting yourself first, and maybe even figure out how to quiet those racing thoughts that keep you up at night. Let's work together to figure it out. My clients describe me as supportive, nonjudgmental, and easy to talk to. My practice is affirming to all, though I specialize in supporting women and LGBTQIA+ individuals who identify as ADHD, autistic, or AuDHD. I help my clients to make sense of their past, find ways to feel grounded and confident in the present, and start creating the future they want. It may not seem like it now, but things can get better. Visit my website to learn more and reach out to schedule a free consultation.

Hi, I’m Marlena. I’m a multicultural, bilingual (Spanish-speaking) therapist who helps women navigating life transitions, relationships, and the pressure to hold it all together.

This is your space to exhale, be seen, and start feeling more at ease.

I believe in working together to make and maintain effective and lasting change so that you can be the person you envision yourself to be.

Ted Brugman
For many of us, perhaps adolescents and young adults in particular, the process of figuring "it" out is an elusive to-do swashing in the waves of life's stressors. I have worked with adolescents and young adults for over a decade; sharing in their challenges, connecting in laughter and in story. My hope is to help you, your child, or your loved one, navigate life’s waves with dignity. Feel free to contact me for a chat, we can go from there.
Kaylee Murphy
Do you need help making your self-care a priority so you can feel less overwhelmed and more in charge of your life? I help my clients to eat better, sleep better and feel better by making small habit shifts that lead to positive results in health, energy, focus, mood, and relationships. Working with me will feel more like coaching where you will get doable next steps to take rather than being analyzed by a silent therapist. Reach out to discuss your situation and see if we are the right fit to help you reach your goals.
Lisa Lewis
I am a strengths-based therapist with an active, collaborative style, and a solution focus. I worked in college mental health centers for years before opening a private practice, and I enjoy working with adolescents, emerging adults, and young adults on the wide variety of issues that they present with. I am also a certified addictions counselor (CADC-II) and I often work with young people who are either questioning their alcohol and drug use, or who are trying to abstain from substances or other addictive behaviors. I have been practicing psychotherapy since 2003, and more recently earned my doctoral degree in counseling and sport psychology at Boston University, so I also commonly work with student-athletes and high-achieving clients.
Kristina Altomari
I am happy you are here. My name is Kristina, and I am a clinical social worker that takes pride in providing therapy to students and adults. I often work with clients struggling with anxiety, life transitions, and various Obsessive Compulsive disorders. Some shared experiences of clients may include feeling isolated, feeling nervous to transition to college life, feeling overwhelmed with coursework or post-graduate plans, as well as other anxieties or fears around the college experience. My clients often walk away from treatment with further skills, knowledge, and overall insight into their experiences and symptoms. I hope to support you through bringing warmth, humor, and some challenge into the space to help you meet your goals, and to make the most of your college experience. **If you do not see a time that works for you, send me a message anyway, and I would be happy to collaborate on a potential time that may be better for you.**

Jana Pressley
We provide outpatient trauma-focused psychotherapy and mind-body wellness counseling for youth, adults, couples and families who have been impacted by interpersonal trauma, loss, social oppression and other forms of life adversity. We recognize that exposure to trauma is a pervasive reality in our world. We pay careful attention to the wide range of historical experiences that contribute to ongoing distress in those we serve. We understand our clients’ struggles through the lens of complex trauma, with the belief that individuals are shaped most profoundly by their earliest and closest relationships. When those relationships have been fraught with chronic adversity – whether due to maltreatment and neglect, poverty and discrimination, or the legacy of intergenerational or ancestral trauma – it can alter the course of healthy human development in profound ways. One’s emotions, self-worth, behaviors, and overall functioning can be deeply impacted. One’s relationships, schooling, and occupation may suffer. One’s goals and dreams, spiritual direction and overall life path can get derailed. In the same breath, we honor the resilience of the human spirit, and marvel at the capacity of every person to survive, heal, persevere and ultimately thrive despite seemingly overwhelming obstacles.

Ashley Unadkat-Movement for the Mind
The therapy session is a time and space one sets aside to focus on self. To be with self. And to build one’s self. It can be challenging to reflect on patterns, thoughts and emotions, relationships, past events and/or change, but it can also be transformative and rewarding. My role as your therapist is to witness your process and to reflect back with you along the way. The therapeutic relationship is an essential piece of my practice and is built on honesty, trust, empathy, and compassion. In conjunction with traditional psychotherapeutic frameworks (CBT, DBT, Gestalt, Psychodynamic), I use Expressive Arts Therapy (Movement, Drama, Music/Sound, Art) to help foster a creative process. When applied therapeutically, a creative process can help a person heal, open up to change, and may offer new feelings, thoughts, insights, and perspectives As a Dance/Movement Therapist, I specialize in using movement as a tool to identify, explore, and shift the way one relates to self, other, and the world around. I believe engaging in an integrative, body based psychotherapy process is a direct and effective path to embodied growth and transformation.

Vikki Salinas
Many of the students can sometimes feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted—even when they’re keeping up with classes on the outside. You might notice low motivation, self-doubt, or that small things feel harder than they used to. Some students reach out during times of transition, like starting or leaving college, changing majors, questioning identity, or feeling unsure about what comes next. Others want support processing difficult past or recent experiences that still affect their mood, focus, or sense of stability. I also work with a variety of students. Some managing stress, anxiety, navigating trauma, or are managing physical or ongoing health concerns causing them to feel the emotional weight that comes with it. Balancing school, expectations, and your own well-being can be especially tough when your body isn’t cooperating. In therapy, we’ll focus on both talking things through and building practical tools you can use in daily life. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused, helping you better understand what’s going on while also finding ways to feel more steady, confident, and supported. You don’t need to have the “right” reason to start therapy—if something feels off or heavy, that’s enough.
