Ruby Linhan Booth
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LISW-S
My approach to therapy focuses on breaking away from the traditional, one-size-fits-all model of therapy, which often centers norms and ideas that don’t reflect our diverse experiences. I focus on creating spaces where you can explore your identity on your own terms. Whether you’re navigating your gender identity, supporting a gender diverse child, or working through the complexities of neurodiversity, my approach centers your story, your community, and your culture. I use creative methods like role-playing games and Minecraft therapy, because healing isn’t just about talking—it’s about finding new ways to express yourself and reconnect with your power. As a queer therapist and parent of a gender diverse child, I know firsthand how therapy should be a space for liberation, not just “fixing” what society sees as different.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Clients work best with someone they trust and feel comfortable with. One of the most consistent pieces of feedback I get is how easy it is to talk with me and they appreciate that I'm "real". I believe that a pinch of empathy and a dash of compassion makes the perfect recipe to provide you an accurate reflection needed to do meaningful therapy work.

Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
In searching for a therapist, you are taking the first step in what could be the most important journey of your life. It is definitely possible to make important, lasting improvements in your life and levels of happiness, satisfaction, and success. Therapy is often an effective way to attain these goals. With almost 40 years of experience working as a counselor and then a psychologist, I am well-qualified to help you identify what is standing in the way of increased life satisfaction, and help you effectively work towards your goals. People often get stuck in old patterns that make them unhappy, want to change them, but don't know how. I work together with my clients to understand how old patterns in thought, feeling, and behavior got established, and then explore how best to change those patterns. I enjoy doing longer term, deeper work with clients, to create significant, meaningful, and lasting change. I often employ a holistic approach, exploring personal history, thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationship history and issues, as well as issues including medical history, self-care habits, and experiences of spirituality. I view the therapy relationship as a partnership, respecting the pace and timing that the client requires.
