Paul Sather
Psychologist, PhD
I work with people to help them be the best version of their Self. Whether we are working on anxiety, depression, relationship problems, addiction, spiritual issues, grief or trauma, etc, We usually begin with the initial phase of getting through the issue that got them through the door of my office. After that we work on the underlying issues that contributed to the struggles they are having. I focus on developing the skills of emotional management so that a person's emotions are coloring their life rather than running their life. We look at habitual patterns of interpreting their circumstances and familiar bodily states that are keeping them stuck. We concentrate on getting control of the things they can control and letting go of those they cannot control. We also address the habits of their internal critic and the ways they respond to those judgements with the goal of developing a peaceful life that is resilient to the difficulties that may come in the future.

Psychologist, PsyD
As a clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience, I bring a diverse array of therapeutic techniques to each session. Those who know me would say that my style is generally laid back, but I'm also willing to gently challenge my clients in a constructive way when it benefits them.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In the intricate tapestry of our lives, the pursuit of happiness, safety, and love is a universal quest. Yet, for many, the journey toward emotional wellness is fraught with challenges beyond their control. Trauma, familial history, and the burdens of life can cast shadows that obscure life's inherent beauty. I believe that each individual deserves to uncover, rediscover, and reclaim life's joy and purpose.
As a compassionate and dedicated psychoanalytical therapist, I aim to guide you through this transformative process with warmth and understanding. Through welcoming and conversational counseling services, I aim to create a space where you can explore the intricate connections between your mind, body, and spirit. This holistic approach seeks to assist you in reconnecting with your higher purpose, allowing you to navigate life unburdened by emotional pain.

Steve Wasilczuk, Positive Regard Therapy
Pre-Licensed Professional, BM
I believe that an empathic and authentic alliance is the foundation for therapeutic growth and meaningful change. You are the ultimate expert on your lived experiences, and my role is to meet you where you are with respect, honesty, and humility. My approach is strengths-based, anti-racist, and identity-affirming, and I integrate humanistic principles with narrative, existential, solution-focused, and Adlerian practices. This allows us to holistically address your concerns in an environment where you can feel truly seen, heard, and supported.
Before becoming a counselor, I worked as a K-8 music educator. During this time, I witnessed firsthand the profound impact the COVID-19 pandemic had on my students and their families, especially in terms of mental health. These experiences, along with my own creative background, inspired me to pursue a career in counseling. Today, I work with clients who seek help with issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, identity development, and the unique pressures faced by those in the creative fields.
My identity as a performer has also instilled a passion for supporting those in the creative fields. As a musician and former music educator, I understand the unique emotional and psychological experiences that come with a creative life. Whether you're an artist, musician, writer, or actor, I know that your creative journey is deeply intertwined with your emotional world. In my practice, I aim to provide a space where your creative identity can be explored and supported. Together, we’ll work through the challenges you face—whether they are related to performance anxiety, creative block, personal relationships, or broader life transitions—so that you can thrive both personally and professionally.
Whether you're seeking to overcome emotional obstacles, strengthen your identity, or navigate the complexities of a creative career, I'm here to help you achieve meaningful growth and well-being.
