Hi! My name is Ellie - and I am so excited to meet you! I love working with children (ages 5 and up), teens, and young adults, helping them through a variety of life challenges, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, stress, emotional dysregulation, and perfectionism. My approach/style depends a lot on the age and needs of each person, and I adapt interventions from various modalities to fit what is needed for treatment. Throughout the process, I will check-in with you to develop goals and to make sure we’re on the same page about what is most important to you for the focus of our time together.

I believe the therapy process involves forming a relationship with someone who you can share with and trust. A third party who wont judge you, or share/gossip your most intimate secrets or life struggles with others. It's nice having friends and or family to share with, but that isn't always an option, nor is it always safe. I provide my clients with an environment free from judgement where you can let your guard down, vent, share and just be you. Therapy doesn't mean there's something wrong with you, it means you're ready to grow and better understand yourself, others and hopefully life. Isn't that what we're all striving for?

Therapy sucks for men. Why? Well, its not really made for them. As men we face specific issues and challenges and deserve therapy tailored directly to us to experience real change. If you're finding yourself anxious, empty, and unsure of where to turn for help, you've come to the right place.

Hi! I'm Samantha Haselroth, LMFT! I believe we are all so. incredibly. busy. Many mental health challenges arise because we are not allowing ourselves the opportunity to slow down and simply check in with ourselves day to day. I truly believe it is a gift that you are taking the time to invest in you! I support teens, young adults, and individuals to gain a better understanding and acceptance of their true selves. I specialize in working with teens facing anxiety, depression, academic challenges, low self-esteem, and ADHD.

Sometimes we need support and guidance to help us manage distress, achieve greater clarity, build better relationships and develop a healthier sense of ourselves. Most of us many times don’t want to discuss our personal problems, even with those closest to us. I would like to extend my hand to help you feel better about your life, relationships and most importantly, yourself! I am a skilled, and experienced psychotherapist who offers a supportive and non-judgmental environment for the therapeutic relationship. I provide short term solution focused or medium to long term therapy for adults and teens, depending on individual needs.

I strongly believe that therapy should be a safe place where anyone can come and talk about their life without judgment or shame. It is a place where everyone can benefit from unconditional empathy, understanding, and grace. I am an outgoing person who is easy to talk to, and I do my best to make the therapeutic process as smooth and understandable as possible. We will go at your pace and create a personalized treatment plan to meet your needs and goals. I strive to help you become self sustaining where you can gain a sense of understanding of what skills you need, why you are utilizing them, and when to utilize the skills learned.

We believe in the therapeutic process deeply and the power of growth and change. The first challenge is often alleviating symptoms of depression, anxiety, life and work stress, relational problems, grief problems, and sometimes managing traumatic experiences. For those who seek further growth after the immediate pain is resolved, the clinician may help you identify and address repetitive patterns that get in the way of you living your fullest life.

Are you unsatisfied with one or more areas of your life? I partner with my clients to empower them to make the changes necessary to bring their realities in line with the lives they truly want. In this way, I collaborate with each individual, couple, and family with whom I work to craft their own individualized success plans. To accomplish this, I draw upon years of experience, as well as a very strong foundation of training in a range of techniques and strategies. Perhaps equally important are the personal qualities that I bring, which include intelligence, genuineness, compassion, and a commitment to the highest standards.

Hey there! I am Caroline. How many times have you found yourself seeking purpose? It may feel as if you are disconnected or lost. Sometimes we have trouble setting boundaries in relationships. Life can often feel overwhelming and isolating. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, loneliness, unresolved trauma and/or relationship troubles, you don't have to do this journey alone. Together, we can navigate through challenging and uncomfortable roads in order to discover the meaningful path you wish to be on. I will walk alongside you to identify your values, strengths, and preferences in a collaborative and empowering way.

My primary goal as a therapist is to foster a safe, supportive, accepting and also challenging space that encourages personal growth and healing for each of my clients. To achieve this, I use an integrative treatment approach, grounded in psychodynamic and interpersonal theories, that encourages mindful self-reflection on internal experiences, authentic expression of affect and a benign curiosity about our personal experiences. My experience and training have made me comfortable working with a range of mental health concerns and a diversity of cultural backgrounds.

CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS FOR THERAPY. I love working with children, teens, and young adults.

I am licensed as both a Marriage and Family Therapist and a Clinical Psychologist. I started practicing psychotherapy in 1993 and I love the work so much I have never done anything else. In today's world we don't take the time to listen and get to know each other. We start to suffer from depression and anxiety because we are so disconnected from each other and ourselves. I am trying to change that with one person at a time. I invite you to visit me and see how we can create a journey of healing together.
