Merritt Posten Benz
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSCSW, CDWF, MCLC
I am drawn to raw unfiltered courage. Going to therapy a brave choice and it takes tenacity and grit to feel differently and make changes in our lives. When we deny our stories, they define us. When we own our stories, we become the author who writes the brave new ending. Together we will examine the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that are holding you back identify the new choices and practices that will move you toward more authentic and wholehearted living. Rarely is that decision a whim or an impulse, and most likely you've been thinking about this for a while. Now here you are; being curious and maybe nervous and scared at the same time. In my opinion - that is bravery and brave things are rarely comfortable, but always worth trying.
Whether you are looking to make a shift in your relationships, provide help and guidance for your children, or you have reached a point in your own life where you no longer want to "figure it out alone"- you have come to a good place to get moving. It can get better.
We all struggle at times - with anxiety, depression, and stress - along with the circumstances in our lives that contribute to these feelings. The "feelings" themselves are never wrong. Where we get into trouble (and can feel stuck in them) is when we can't make sense of it all and isolation creeps in. You're not in this alone.

Sara Johnson-Cardona
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Hi! I am a Certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist and am also trained in EMDR and Sensorimotor psychotherapy (L1). My highest value when it comes to providing therapy is you deserve the absolute best quality, and I am dedicated to my own training and consultation in order to provide you with the care you deserve. I am passionate about guiding people towards their own healing, and believe in each individual's capacity to live a life that is most true to themselves and that feels peaceful and balanced. I understand that may sound impossible right now, and all you need to start is the tinest hope that a different way of living and that healing could be possible. People sometimes ask how I can do this job, and repeatedly hear the darkest moments of people's lives, and my answer is simple, I get to see people heal every single day. Being a witness to that is sacred to me and is a tremendous honor. I cannot wait to support you. I have found (and research supports) that online therapy is extremely convenient and effective way of providing therapy, and can actually be less intimidating for many.

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.
