I deeply believe that therapy can be transformative and that meaningful change is possible at any stage of life.

I’m most inspired by the humans that I work with every day that show tremendous resilience and resourcefulness with life’s challenges.

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.

Mitsue Nakagaki Karaman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
We all have moments in our lives when we need a little support. The most ambitious of us can get burnt out and even the most loving relationships can encounter bumpy roads. If you are here, you may be in that moment now -- feeling stuck or overwhelmed in some way. Perhaps you’re facing a difficult challenge or transition and need immediate support, or there is something you have carried for a long time that you’re ready to face. I offer the space to slow down, take a breath and explore what’s going on. We are all different, so my approach is collaborative and guided by how you experience the world.

Tracy Sachs
Therapist, MA, AMFT
Like all things in the natural world, death feeds new life: your wounds, traumas, and losses can be the compost to nourish a more vibrant life to come. You may be struggling with grief, loneliness, fear about the future, confusion about who you are and what you want out of life. These challenges are invitations to awaken into a more openhearted, fulfilling, and purposeful human existence. I am a guide who has traveled these dark and mysterious landscapes and feel called to support you in your unique becoming.

Jessi Blank
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Seeking out professional support can feel hard, awkward, and even subtly intimidating. As a therapist, I dedicate my job to make sure all of my clients feel safe in the space that is created between us, allowing them to name and explore the various emotional pains that may have left them feeling stuck, derailed, angry, or even hopefuless. My therapy style is a mixture of soft tenderness that helps my clients feel seen and cared for, intentional questions of curiousity that helps my clients to expand their thinking and meaning making, while also, when appropriate, to subtly challenge any false beliefs or perceptions that may be playing into the role that may be keeping them adrift.

Judith Nitchie
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT36770
Chronic illness, aging, and loss can be overwhelming. It's not only adjustment to physical changes and abilities, but the emotional challenges can seem insurmountable. I have been there!
You don't have to do this by yourself.
My passion and my work are to help you find your way back to a sense of value and engagement with your life regardless of your challenges.

Kristin Sheehan Psychotherapy
Counselor/Therapist, LPCC
I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Somatic Therapy to help clients get unstuck and reconnect to the wisdom and safety of their body. Do you feel stuck in patterns of relationship stress, anxious thoughts, or disordered eating? Do you feel unsafe in your body due to trauma or chronic illness? I use a trauma-informed, attachment-based approach to help clients identify their unhelpful narratives, challenge them, and take healthy risks. If you are ready to go deeper than traditional talk therapy and crave a healing connection with your mind, body, and spirit, I am here to help.
