Chad Cryder
Psychologist, PhD
I approach therapy from a humanistic and spiritual perspective meaning I believe you are a whole and complete person who is struggling with some aspect of their life. If you need a non-judgmental champion on your side, Dr. Chad is here for you. I firmly believe that your challenges are growth opportunities, not punishments. The struggles are opportunities to bring compassion into your life. One of my therapy gifts is helping you see the lessons or blessings (or both) you have faced while empowering you to live up to your greatness while nurturing your capacity for compassionate self-love. I look forward to getting to know you and helping you better understand yourself.

Erica McArn
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I am a licensed psychologist who is passionate about igniting purpose and passion in others, helping clients learn and grow on their journey through life, loss, and personal transition/change. I have a diverse background, both personally and professionally, that, I believe, allows me to understand and connect with people from all walks of life.
I utilize an eclectic approach that allows me to individualize my work with clients and develop treatment plans specific to the needs of each person that are goal-oriented and fits each individual lifestyle. In addition, my practice integrates a holistic and humanistic perspective focused on a model of HOPES (Honoring, Overcoming, Persevering, Empowering, Self).

Ana Velouise, Perinatal Mental Health Specialist
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Why did no one warn you about how hard the transition to parenthood was going to be? You often feel that you’re not doing a “good enough” job and wonder why other parents seem to have it all figured out. You may not have had the pregnancy, birth, or postpartum experience that you wanted. You love your baby more than anything but you don’t always love being a parent.
I’ve been there. Therapy is a resource that helped me feel less alone as I navigated the immense changes that came with becoming a parent. I’m a queer, neurodivergent mother of twins and my lived experience with perinatal loss, birth trauma, NICU parenting, being postpartum in 2020, and perinatal mental health disorders drew me to this work.

Matthew Kijak, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
My goal is to support individuals in navigating the challenges of life and promoting positive mental health. I believe that every individual has the strength and resilience within themselves to overcome difficulties, but sometimes, it can be hard to see it. That's where I come in. I use a combination of techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness practices, ancient stoic philosophy, and Eastern wisdom to help individuals access their inner strength and resilience. I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental, and compassionate environment where you can feel safe to explore and work through your challenges. I believe in working together to find the best way to support your unique needs. Let's start this journey together to discover your inner strengths and build a better future.
