Andy Studer

My approach to therapy: If it feels hard to settle your mind and body down and find peace during the day, or if it feels like your inner critic is relentless and loud, I work with you to find ways to find calm and clarity. EMDR allows us to get underneath the stress, guilt, and self-doubt, and change how we respond to our mind, our body sensations, and our feelings.

Erin McQueen

My approach to therapy: Psychotherapy can provide a safe and supportive space for growth and healing to unfold. Through a trusting therapeutic relationship, we can explore inner multitudes, histories—personal, familial, and cultural—and develop greater awareness as we uncover unconscious patterns and conflicts that bind and constrict us.

Lauren Miller

My approach to therapy: I practice from a Psychodynamic orientation which focuses on how our early experiences with our caregivers shape our view of ourselves, others, and the world. Through exploring underlying conflicts, we can work together to make meaningful changes.

Laurel Wise

My approach to therapy: I work with couples who feel stuck in a cycle where one of you reaches for closeness and the other pulls away. You both want connection but often end up feeling unseen or lonely. You may notice that conversations escalate quickly or shut down entirely. You talk about the same issues repeatedly yet the real hurt underneath never quite gets touched.

Carla Brizuela

My approach to therapy: I acknowledge that there are many factors and complexities that intersect to make you who you are is an important perspective of my practice. You define who you are and how you experience the world.

Nathan Choi

My approach to therapy: I lead with Carl Rogers’ idea that self-acceptance is the true catalyst for change. I won’t push you or tell you what to do. Instead, I offer a nonjudgmental space to explore why you feel stuck. By understanding your patterns—in English or Korean—we create the clarity needed for change to happen naturally. You are the expert on you; I’m your guide.

Jennifer Scott

My approach to therapy: I utilize an integrative framework, incorporating elements of psychodynamic, attachment, CBT, ACT, and somatic modalities. I frequently use EMDR and Brainspotting for their highly impactful, potent efficiency.
