Allen Wood
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I'm a psychologist with expertise in working with anxiety, depression, dissociation, and the full range of traumatic experiences and specialize in supporting clients who feel that therapy isn't for them. In working with me you can expect a high level of collaboration, dedication to your success, and lots of nerdy metaphors. I draw from interpersonal neurobiology, developmental psychology, and attachment theory to make evidence-based therapy models less generic and more useful for your specific situation.

Dr. Ashley Gulden
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Life can be challenging, but with support, it can also be beautiful and meaningful. I’m a compassionate, action-oriented licensed psychologist specializing in stress, anxiety, and trauma, with a passion for helping parents/caregivers with their mental health and stressors that come with raising children. I work with individuals and parents to identify beliefs and behaviors that may be holding them back from being the parent they aspire to be and living the life they envision. Together, we’ll set goals, take action, and celebrate your successes. If you’d like to learn more about working together, please reach out—I’m excited to hear from you and look forward to supporting you in this journey of change.

Jen Welo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Clinical Intern Pursuing MA in Marriage and Family Therapy
Jen brings a warm and direct approach to help you explore your patterns and build deeper connections with self and others. She began her career in the public education system, where she worked as an art educator for 10 years. During this time, she developed a deep love and respect for children and their families. Jen believes healing isn't linear and happens at our own pace, with ups and downs along the way. She emphasizes the importance of self-compassion, humor, and slowing down in the journey for change.
Jen sees all ages, including families and couples, who want to enhance their relationships and communication. She enjoys supporting folks with anxiety, depression, sexual concerns, spirituality, and life changes. Jen loves collaborating with people from all cultural backgrounds and is curious to understand and empower your unique experience.
She welcomes non-traditional relationship structures and works from a systemic lens, using family systems, attachment theory, and more in session. She is pursuing her MA in Marriage and Family therapy and practicing under the supervision of Samantha Colai. Outside work, she loves eating good food, stretching, and painting old furniture.

Sara Smith
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
“The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago, the second-best time is today!” It is both a passion and a privilege to be invited into people's lives and relationships, and to help them become better versions of themselves and better connected to themselves and those they love. I work with couples who feel disconnected in their relationships to help them find their way back to each other. I also help individuals who are in a difficult season of life find their way back to themselves.

Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Are you a high-functioning, driven mom who’s often managing it all—career, family, relationships—but finding yourself feeling exhausted, stretched thin, and unsure of how to prioritize yourself? I get it. With over 25 years of experience as a licensed psychologist and certified coach, I specialize in supporting women like you: high-achieving moms balancing both career success and the intense demands of parenting, often while navigating other challenges like anxiety, depression, burnout, toxic relationships, divorce, and/or grief.
I bring a compassionate, practical approach that includes both therapy and coaching and therapeutic tools. I take a holistic approach where we will focus on every part of your life and encorporate actionable steps for reclaiming control, reconnecting with your needs, and rebuilding energy and joy. We'll work together to develop a plan that empowers you to prioritize your mental health and establish boundaries so you can show up fully for both yourself and others without guilt.
And if you’re ready to dive deeper, I offer hypnosis services, designed to help you break through patterns that may be holding you back. Hypnosis offers an effective way to explore issues like burnout, anxiety, or decision-making, providing clarity and relief in a deeply relaxed state. I will tailor the hypnosis to match your specific need.
It’s time to care for yourself with the same commitment you give others. Reach out, and together, we can carve a path to a renewed, empowered life.
