Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Alison Alderdice, The Wise Mind Institute
Psychologist, PsyD
Some people come to me overwhelmed, exhausted, and insecure. Others need help with an important life decision. My approach is active and collaborative: I trust their knowledge of themselves and offer my insights, skills, and training to achieve lasting change and healing. Together, we identify ways to align their daily lives and environments with their long-term goals and values. We turn avoidance into action and integrate unaccepted aspects of themselves through mindfulness and self-compassion. My approach is warm, nonjudgmental, and genuine. I am passionate about helping people reduce their suffering and build lives they find meaningful and fulfilling.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Lisa Andresen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Getting sick of what's bothering you? Are your thoughts feeling tough to control? Been challenging to unwind, enjoy yourself, or get a good night's sleep? Feeling emotionally lonely, frustrated with family, or disappointed with your friends?
You may be successful professionally and still experience dips in your self-esteem, mood, and energy. Imposter syndrome goes hand in hand with perfectionism, procrastination, and productivity. The irony is you may be working harder than most people around you, and yet feel worse about yourself than they do.
You don't have to keep living like this. Therapy can help you understand how your mind works and optimize accordingly. For example, you can catch self-defeating negative thoughts and reframe them to be more helpful for you through CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy).
You have the right to feel better too.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
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).

Follow Your Compass
Psychologist, PsyD
Jessica Silsby, PsyD opened FYC in 2016 as a gender affirming private practice focusing on Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Our comprehensive program treats adults and teens. We can also provide support for siblings, parents, partners, children, and other loved ones of individuals through either gender exploration or mental health crisis. Folx ages 8+ are welcome! A thread through all we do incorporates our awareness of the impacts of trauma, culture, and stigma from society. Whether this is in gender identity or expression, of mental illness, or of both. DBT is innately phenomenological (client-centered perspective) and it is our hope that you will find this influence across the type of care that you receive.
