You are exactly where you need to be :) I am a couples & individual therapist at Elements Counseling and Wellness Spa. I specialize in helping people connect with each other in healthy ways. I have experience working with diverse relationships, sexualities & gender expressions. My goal is to de-colonize relationship therapy and work together to create a safe space to help you meet your goals and live life with meaning. I also have extensive experience helping individuals understand disability rights, self-advocate for accommodations, and choose careers that are right for them.

We believe that each person has the capacity to manifest or access the skills and resources that will help them feel better. You may be experiencing stress, anxiety, or depression due to a life transition, grief, trauma, or even simply a general sense of dissatisfaction that you can’t quite name. Therapy may help you identify the underlying causes and support you on your journey towards wellness. As licensed therapists, our wholistic approach to healing and wellness includes body, mind, and spirit. Therapy with our therapists will impact more than just your thoughts and emotions. We will work together on your emotional, cognitive, spiritual, and physical elements. This wholistic approach ensures that all aspects maintain balance.

Thanks for clicking! Feeling like you're not growing? Have you hit a snag or is there a barrier that is keeping you from meeting your goals? I'd love to help! I would like to help you reach the longer-lasting effects that are the consequences of an insight-based and action-oriented approach to counseling. Let's figure out what happened, how it's affecting you, and what we can do together to help you overcome it, learn from it, and grow. My specialty is Gestalt psychotherapy. I use this model to help clients understand how they might be unhelpfully reacting to bad events or people and learn to overcome those reactions so as to become stronger individuals. Digging deep is part of this orientation to therapy, but only at your pace. I will be with you through this and through your growth. I would like to build a positive therapeutic relationship with you so that we can help you meet your goals of increased insight and self-exploration. The process of finding a matching counselor is definitely overwhelming. I look forward to talking and meeting you! Feel free to call me for a free consultation.

Hi! I’m Camryn, a dedicated clinical mental health counselor with a passion for holistic, trauma-informed care. I aim to create a safe, supportive space for the “misfits”—individuals who are often labeled “too sensitive,” experience intense emotions, or struggle with a sense of belonging. I enjoy working with individuals on issues including self-esteem, stress management, life transitions, grief, identity exploration, emerging adulthood, and complex trauma. I also enjoy working with artists and athletes. As a certified yoga instructor, I prioritize the mind-body connection and respect the body’s intuitive wisdom. My colleagues often describe me as exceptionally warm and welcoming. I am currently accepting new clients and am humbled and honored to walk beside you in your journey to healing

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with 15 years of experience helping people develop insight, knowledge and self-compassion. I specialize in treating anxiety, trauma, substance use, relationship conflict and grief. I am a national consultant for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Substance Use Disorders, certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD, Dual Recovery and skilled in therapies for those with abuse histories (e.g., STAIR, Seeking Safety). My doctoral training in cognitive neuroscience laid the foundation for my understanding of thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Together we will learn how your specific life experiences shape your biology to make you the person you are today. With this understanding we can find tools to reduce suffering and increase meaning in your life. Above all else, I value the human relationship. I believe my most important skill is helping people feel comfortable and build trust in the therapeutic alliance. Please reach out so you can tell me about yourself and your needs.

I work with individuals/families who are experiencing OCD, Social Anxiety, Generalized Anxiety, Perfectionism, Phobias, BFRBs, Body Dysmorphia, Emetophobia, and other OC spectrum and all Anxiety Disorders. My treatment is focused on using Exposure Response and Prevention Therapy for OCD and other anxiety disorders, along with ACT or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I focus on helping folks develop tools for coping and then problem solving, goal setting and encouragement to face fears head on. This leads to freedom from Anxiety and transformation, building inner confidence and strength. If you or someone in your family is feeling constantly anxious, stuck in rumination cycles or sticky thoughts, or if you want to take your life back from the binds of anxiety and OCD this might be the right next step for you. If you want to learn to trust yourself better, rather than constantly doubt, this may be the place for you to start your journey. I'd be honored to walk beside you if you would like support and learning along the way.

Life is filled with transitions, and often these can lead to feelings of stress and internal discourse. Together we will build a safe space and therapeutic relationship that will allow us to explore your story. I am committed to meeting you where you are to define your goals, explore your strengths, and discovering a path that promotes balance in your life. As your therapist, my focus includes helping you through relational issues as well as navigating interpersonal struggles and questions surrounding identity. I have over 14 years’ experience working with children and families facing an array of medical issues including chronic/acute illnesses, crisis, and stressors associated with change in grief. In addition, I have extensive experience within the LGBTQ+ community, and those facing life transitions. I look forward to engaging in conversation with you to navigate how we can best meet your goals. *Please note: this provider does not accept insurance.

Hi there! Please check out my website for more info. www.stacysimonphd.com

We all find ourselves struggling at one point or another. For some people, this is a life-long battle, and for others, it’s a short blip on our journey. Regardless, we all deserve to feel like our best selves, and I am here to help you feel like you again. I believe that the relationship between therapist and client is the most transformational part of the therapeutic journey, and I truly enjoy fostering genuine connections with my clients through warmth, humor, and authenticity. I work to help clients process past experiences and identify how they are impacting current patterns and thinking, set and work towards goals for change, while providing tangible coping skills and strategies to manage difficult symptoms. For over 10 years I have worked with adolescents and young adults who are navigating anxiety, mood challenges, OCD, life transitions, school stress, gender identity and orientation, and other emotional challenges. Using evidence based theories of CBT, ACT, DBT, ERP, motivational interviewing, and person centered therapies, I hope to walk with you in this journey of healing.

I work well with young adults struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, and with social problems. You may be overwhelmed by school, undecided about your future plans, in a bad relationship, suffering from loneliness, wondering what the point of it all is, having a hard time getting out of bed. If this sounds like you, give me a call. I want to help you find peace in your life.

At Pivotal Years, I understand that navigating life transitions and managing emotional stress can feel overwhelming, especially within marginalized communities. If you're struggling with stress management, anxiety, or depression, please know that you don't have to face these challenges alone. My approach is rooted in compassion and cultural sensitivity, aiming to provide you with the support and tools you need to thrive. My mission is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where seeking help is encouraged and supported. In my practice, I provide a range of eclectic, strength-based, and solution-focused interventions tailored specifically to your unique needs and concerns. I also offer a compassionate approach that gently encourages you to shift your perspective on internal struggles and navigate obstacles with newfound resilience.

As an athlete, you know that performance is as much about your internal state as it is about your training and skill. I help college athletes master the mental side of their sport by treating anxiety at its physiological roots. Using a combination of EMDR to clear performance blocks and in-depth nervous system education, we’ll move beyond the "grind" to build genuine resilience and confidence. Whether you are stepping onto the field or approaching the bar, my goal is to ensure your body and mind are synced, helping you transition from being overwhelmed by pressure to being fueled by it.

Hello! Are you feeling overwhelmed and tired of holding it all together? You don't have to do it alone! Many of the clients that I work with are young adults learning how to adult! Managing and balancing the demands of school, work, and relationships while still caring for yourself can be stressful. I would be honored to walk your path with you. Please contact me and together we'll figure out how to achieve a life balance.
