Ani Martikyan

My approach to therapy: You set the goals. I provide information and insight. Together we assess what's working for you and what's harming you. We move with intention towards your goals and we nurture the idea that we can do hard things.

Lauren Permenter

My approach to therapy: I treat anxiety and trauma with mind-body modalities such as EMDR and somatic based approaches, while also incorporating DBT OR CBT to practice replacing unhealthy thoughts with constructive alternatives.

Samantha Grimes

My approach to therapy: I integrate the felt sense with the known sense. We will explore your relationships with yourself, others, and the stories you tell. I use EMDR and Brainspotting to help process the parts of your story that are harder to put words to.

Maddie Miyoshi

My approach to therapy: I'm not here to fix you — you're not broken. Most of my clients are high-functioning people who look fine on the outside while something underneath goes unattended. My work is integrative and clinically grounded (EMDR, somatic, parts-based), but more than that, it's honest. I've been disconnected from myself too. That shapes everything.

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.

Robin Bates-Pualuan

My approach to therapy: I am warm, genuine, and compassionate with my therapy clients. I want to hear your story and understand your struggles, then together we will look for ways to help you feel better. I utilize my clinical background and skills to guide your treatment but I am always focused on the therapeutic relationship between us.

Timothy Malone

My approach to therapy: I bring curiosity and often some humor into the therapy room. I'm told that I can also be direct, in a comforting way. I use EMDR, Mindfulness, Talk Therapy and positive visualization to help set the direction of therapy when needed.

Sara Denman

My approach to therapy: Beginning therapy can be intimidating whether you have been in therapy many times of if this is your first experience. There is no issue too large or small to bring into the safe space of therapy. I will listen to your story without judgment and use all my training and experience to help you reach all of your goals.

Sandy Gordon

My approach to therapy: I help you slow down and come back into your emotional world in a way that feels safe and grounded. We don't just talk about your life, we gently work with what you're actually feeling and experiencing in real time. Over time, this can help you stay present with difficult emotions, communicate more honestly in relationships, and make values-aligned choices.

Amit Davé

My approach to therapy: My approach is client-centered, meaning I am not the expert on you - YOU are. I strive to help my clients using a variety of approaches including EMDR, DBT, and CBT. My aim is to help you understand yourself better and achieve your goals.
