James Norwood
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
"Psychoanalysis is an authentic encounter between two people" -R.D. Laing. Therapy is hard, but it doesn't have to be awkward. You'll want a therapist who is warm without being intruding, thoughtful but not distant, caring but not smothering, someone you feel you can trust both because they are good at what they do, but also because they are another person who can understand what you're going through. I know very well the strength required to take the first step in confronting some of life's most pernicious problems with someone you do not know yet. That is why I listen carefully with a professional ear but also attempt to maintain an approachable, personal dimension to psychotherapy sessions.
I'll always remember what it was like to be a psychotherapy patient for the first time. How disorienting it was and yet how immeasurably rewarding it became as I could start to confide in my therapist. Now, it is my mission to be a reliable confidant to my patients; to listen without judgment, to understand, to relate, and to work through difficult experiences. Being a therapist has always felt like an incredible privilege. I cannot imagine anything more rewarding than helping people find their way to a life they are happy with.
I am available by email or phone if you have any questions about starting therapy and I offer free preliminary conversations.

Vanessa Wolter Holistic Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I specialize in holistically treating social anxiety, low self esteem, depression, general anxiety, grief, and existential issues such as finding purpose and meaning. My mission is to help clients transform pain into an opportunity for self-discovery, healing and empowerment, to ultimately reclaim their voice, purpose, and self-worth. I compassionately welcome individuals who feel silenced, disconnected from loved ones, overwhelmed, lost, or that they "don't belong," as well as people who have experienced bullying, emotional or physical abuse, or struggle with negative body image and/or a harsh inner critic.

Gwendolyn Evans, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
My life mission is to create Inner Peace, one person at a time, one couple at a time. Are you anxious or depressed? Struggling with emotional or physical infidelity? Feeling lonely, overwhelmed or undervalued in your life and relationships? Are you struggling with racial or cross-cultural issues? I've worked with all of these issues and experienced many of them myself, as a mixed-race person: African-American/Irish-Apache. There are ways to make peace with yourself while walking through our world of challenges.

I deeply believe in the transformative power of therapy and that meaningful change is possible at any stage of life. I prioritize honoring the authentic self, even amidst life's inevitable messiness and painful emotions. I’m most inspired by the humans that I work with every day that show tremendous resilience and resourcefulness with life’s challenges.

Patty Murray
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
First and foremost, I have a deep appreciation for peoples ability to feel both profound sadness/anger, happiness/love and everywhere in-between. I believe that the more we can understand and give non-judgmental attention to our pain or the parts of ourselves that suffer, the more opportunity there is to heal -- grow a deepened connection to self, others, and have an overall sense of "okayness" or even aliveness.

Dr. Marco Fekrat
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist working with individuals and couples. My specialties include relationship issues, depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem issues, sexuality and working with the LGBTQ population. My goal is to help you better balance yourself in the present, day to day, and dive deep with you to understand the root cause. Truly effective therapy, in my view, happens when we are ready to look deeply and critically at our current situation, ready to make sustainable, and practical changes.
My work is active and focused. I will actively listen while utilizing direct questioning to fully understand core beliefs. I believe therapy can be both fun and rewarding. My goals are for you to regain better control of your symptoms and achieve your highest level of functioning as quickly as possible.
We’ll work together to help you re-ignite your passions, build healthier relationships, and uncover a more authentic self. I look forward to meeting you via a free phone/video consultation about what it is you see yourself as needing and deciding together if we would be a good fit.
