Jeannette Craigfeld
Psychologist, Psy.D., Licensed Psychologist
I tend to work particularly well with clients who struggle with being compassionate towards themselves and have spent much of their life focused on what others expect of them, getting further away from their own inner voice. My aim is to help clients discover and embrace their authentic selves so they can pursue what they truly value in life. My therapy style is strengths-based, collaborative, and flexible, integrating multiple approaches to therapy. I am excited to get to know you as an individual and figure out what approach to therapy will best fit your unique needs. I know that reaching out for therapy can be a vulnerable experience. I hope you are giving yourself credit for taking this first step.

Kiera Boyle-Toledo
Psychologist, PsyD, RPT
Life experiences can cause us all to get "stuck" sometimes. Therapy is a relationship within which it is safe to be vulnerable, explore and learn how to become "unstuck" and more intentional in our lives. I help co-create this relationship by listening, asking questions, and helping you learn new ways of thinking to work toward your goals.

Alison Huang - Grow Your Mind Psychotherapy

“Feelings are much like waves, we can’t stop them from coming but we can choose which one to surf.”

Well…your search will stop here after you work with Alison. Alison is a person-centered therapist who values her relationship with clients. She integrates different modalities to meet clients’ needs. Instead of talking about psychological theories, Alison uses a nondirective approach to help clients gain insights and change their thinking patterns. Clients often describe the session with Alison is inspiring and light-hearted which helps clients be the best version of themselves and brings joy back to their life.

Shelby Willoughby
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
Are you experiencing difficulty with life adjustments or social connectedness? I am passionate about working with those who are struggling with eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, grief, relational and social difficulties, and members of the LQBTQIA+ community. I believe that the foundation of developing an authentic self is understanding the body's response to life experiences and understanding how it functions under stress. Together, we will create a safe, supportive, and trauma-aware space to begin healing.
In settings such as partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient, I have worked with adults and teens experiencing binge eating, purging, anorexia, orthorexia, excessive exercise, OSFED, ARFID, and body image issues. Throughout sessions, I complete evaluations to determine whether you or a loved one requires more intensive/supportive eating disorder treatment.
In addition, I complete bariatric evaluations that are required for the surgical process. This service helps determine readiness, address any concerns about underlying eating disorder behavior, provide pre/post therapeutic support, and explore alternatives to surgery. I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to assist patient's needs and use collaborative methodologies to facilitate supportive communication, reconnection, problem solving, and positive decision-making with teens, adults, and families. I hope to hear from you and look forward to jump starting your mental health journey.
