I commend you for taking the first step in self-discovery and healing! I invite you to share your feelings and emerge with a "Lighter Heart." I want to hear YOUR story. Does the world often overwhelm you? Do you seem to "feel" things deeply or become easily emotional? Then you may be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). HSPs are more prone to over-stimulation, depression, anxiety, addictions and relationship difficulties. As a Highly Sensitive therapist, I can help you to recognize the benefits and hardships of this trait, be more productive, have better relationships, and protect yourself from overwhelm.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, life transitions, PTSD/Trauma, grief & loss, men's issues, and relationship issues.
Let’s be honest. Being stuck in anxiety, fear, depression, and despair is very discouraging and frustrating. It feels awful, it limits you, makes you feel hopeless, and just creates suffering and conflict in your life. So, what can we do about it? We can ignore it and hope it goes away, read a bunch of self-help books, or maybe try that 5-step plan to happiness we read about late last night. Some of these things might work but sometimes we just need help from a caring therapist who really understands you and can help guide you to a healthier and happier you. I would be honored to help you live the life you've always imagined.

If you're an individual experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction or complex inter-personal relationship issues, I'd love to help.
Welcome! I work with families and individuals that are stuck and ready for change. Therapy is a great place to open up, be understood, and pursue change. I've been in the mental health field most of my adult life and value the process every day. It includes honest feedback, improved self-awareness, an inventory of the parts of our life that we want to keep and those that we will adjust. If you're ready to work through the challenges, I'd like to help!

Welcome! I work with communication issues, trust issues, infidelity, intimacy issues, LGBTQIA+ couples and couples practicing ENM/polyamory. I also work with couples practicing kink/BDSM. I am a queer and neurodivergent therapist, and I have specialized experience working with ADHD and autism in the context of relationships and mixed-neurotype couples.

I have a trauma informed approach that helps my couples understand the origins of their thoughts and behavior within the relationship.

We will find your strengths and locate strategies to meet your challenges and help you move forward.

Over the course of our sessions, we’ll have an open dialogue about your emotions, thoughts, and relationship dynamics.
Hi, I'm Caroline Scippa, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I'm passionate about supporting women through life transitions and relationship challenges. I support my clients, most of whom self-identify as women, in managing anxiety and perfectionism, reevaluating unwanted habits and ways of coping, building communication skills and boundaries to help relationships thrive, and making big life decisions around priorities and desires for the future. I believe therapy should feel like a deep and rich conversation. I am not the type of therapist who only sits and listens.
