Carine France
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MFT
Hello,
I have been working as a psychotherapist in private practice for 18 years.
In my work, my goal is to provide a vital space where you can regain an authentic connection with yourself and learn to move toward a natural state of psychological balance and wholeness . By paying attention in a holistic way to your thoughts, feelings, physical symptoms, and dreams, I strive to bring both your mind and body into a place of integration and harmony.
I work with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, eating disorders, chronic pain, substance abuse, creativity, relationship issues, job stress, grief and loss, and offer both long and short-term therapy.
I strive to practice with depth, imagination, and integrity and use many different treatment modalities to get to the core of what is causing suffering or stuckness and help facilitate renewal and positive forward movement.
My main clinical approach is the Jungian model which seeks to support the unfolding of the individual by working very relationally and in depth with symbolic material, the unconscious, and values the person’s own inner resources.

Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Where within you does conflict persist?
Is it in the body, a swirling energy the surges without explanation, keeping you spinning in thought circles and struggling to sleep or relax (ANXIETY)?
Is it in the heart, the whistling emptiness of grief, or the stabbing pain of ruptured relationships, and lost connections (DEPRESSION)?
Is it in the head, thoughts that won’t stop reciting their well worn verses of what-ifs and should-haves (OCD/ADHD)?
Is it in the spirit, an anguish of being, the unknown outnumbering the known to a paralyzing degree, questions of WHY swirling intangible as mist, existential questions, the ground beneath our feet uneven and unsteady (BELIEF/MEANING)?
Is it in all of the above, and in your dreams as well, impacting ability to connect with others, to be still with yourself, to be intimate, to give and receive love, to accept what was, embrace what will be, and surrender to the now (TRAUMA)?

Peter Cellarius
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, SEP, EFT, EFIT
I left a successful career as a high tech executive because I knew there was more to life than money. I saw hurt and pain and I wanted to help. Whether you are encountering challenges in your relationship or dealing with anxiety, stress, or depression – there is still hope. We can work together. You don’t have to encounter it alone.

Maureen Backman
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, MA, MS
I’m a therapist because I believe in the healing strength of being with: Being with our feelings, our present moment experience, and each other. So often, we walk through life feeling alone and disconnected. Therapy is a place for you to unfold and expand into a life that feels more authentic and spacious, a place for you to experience connection and transformation.
Clients who work with me often describe me as warm, thoughtful, and creative. In addition to what you might think of when hear the words “talk therapy,” I also incorporate art, movement, and mindfulness into our sessions. I view my clients and myself as co-collaborators in the therapy process, and work with you to create a space that feels supportive and safe. I take a non-pathologizing approach, honoring the strategies that got you to this moment, and supporting you as you unfold into your authentic self.
