Clients often comment on my intuition and presence with them. As a therapist who focuses on building authentic relationships, it is one of my strengths. We all need to be seen, heard, and understood. It is an honor to share my clients' experiences with them and go on this therapeutic journey together. Rooted in knowledge and experience, I support healing and growth while guiding clients toward a more whole and compassionate sense of self.

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.

Davene, Fecteau
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPCC
Do you feel lost and overwhelmed in the season of life you are in? Perhaps you, like so many of us, have been living through periods of prolonged stress. You may have experienced a significant traumatic event, or a million little things may have piled up. Either way, the methods you have been using to cope just may not be serving you well anymore. Therapy, and the work of healing, is learning how not to abandon yourself. With compassion, curiosity, and acceptance, I collaborate with you on working towards your goals so you can rediscover the wholeness of who you are. In order to heal, your brain and body need to feel safe and secure. You are the expert on your own internal experience, and my role is to assist you in learning how to utilize inner resources to help your mind and nervous system recover gently. I encourage you to not just treat your symptoms, but to go deeper into examining and healing what is causing the symptoms. This creates lasting change and the resources you learn to access in therapy can be utilized throughout your life moving forward.
I offer free phone consultations. Reach out today to learn more so you can decide how to proceed. I look forward to connecting with you.

Erika Shershun
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I specialize in helping trauma survivors, especially survivors of childhood and/or adult sexual trauma, reclaim the life they were meant to live. If you're struggling with symptoms related to trauma, such as being easily triggered, anxiety or depression, dissociation (feeling spaced out, numb, unable to ground, or connect to your body's sensations) trouble sleeping, nightmares, or flashbacks and more, you're in the right place (for an extensive list of trauma symptoms check out my post https://www.healingsexualtrauma.com/post/what-are-trauma-symptoms). My goal is to help you get the results you're looking for while offering lots of needed compassion and understanding. I'm the author of the Healing Sexual Trauma Workbook, the upcoming Healing Sexual Trauma Guided Journal (2024), and teacher of the PESI Sexual Trauma Clinical Training. I'm dedicated to supporting my clients as they navigate their healing journey.
