Whether you have been to therapy before or are just beginning your journey, finding the right therapist can be both difficult and overwhelming. As a trained therapist I create a warm and nurturing environment for my clients. My goal as a therapist is to guide you in the right direction to reconnect with parts of yourself that may have been buried in the past. Through the use of Psychoanalytic Therapy and a Person Centered Approach, together we will work to uncover what it is that you need to discover your deepest most authentic self.

Taking the step to invest in yourself can be both difficult and scary. If you are here reading this then I commend you for your strength and bravery.

MSED, LMHC

As a compassionate and experienced therapist, I am here to guide you on your personal journey towards growth and well-being. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you can freely express yourself, knowing that your story will be heard and respected.

With a combination of Person-Centered Approach and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I tailor my therapeutic techniques to suit your unique needs and goals. I believe that you are the expert of your own life, and my role is to provide you with the tools and support necessary to navigate through challenges and make positive changes.

If you are feeling ready for change but need assistance in making it happen, I am here to provide the guidance and support you need. Together, we will collaboratively create a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific goals and needs. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or any other life challenges, I am dedicated to helping you develop the necessary skills to overcome obstacles and improve your overall well-being.

Wisdom develops as wounds heal, and the process is never linear. We will experience ups and downs, but it is important to remember that we are still moving forward.

As a clinical mental health counselor, my primary objective is to provide individuals with the opportunity to be seen, heard, and acknowledged for their unique struggles. It’s often these challenging conversations that we tend to shy away from, even though they are the ones we most desperately need. By collaborating together, we can focus on taking small steps that lead you towards your desired destination.

In my approach, I aim to integrate various therapeutic techniques tailored to your specific needs, drawing from evidence-based practices. By providing an open and warm space to hold conversations surrounding mental health, it allows us to help improve our lives by understanding our emotions and using them wisely so that they help rather than hinder our success and well-being.

I am grateful to be a part of the journey alongside the individuals I work with to discover what works best for

them together.

Brittany Bergersen
MA, LMHC

Opening up to someone new can feel daunting, and my goal is to make your experience in therapy as comfortable as possible by providing a welcoming, non-judgmental space.  I pull from different modalities including cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational, and psychodynamic to create individualized treatment plans based on the needs of each client. Therapy is a team effort, so if you are ready to work towards the best version of yourself, I am happy to assist you in getting there!

I have worked with a range of clients of varying backgrounds, ages, and genders! If you struggle with panic attacks/anxiety, time-management, communication skills, phobias, depression, or grief, I am here to help you overcome those obstacles. My goal is to provide a safe environment for clients to discuss what’s on their mind; some sessions may be lighter, others may feel more emotionally heavy, but I will be there to help you cope with any emotions that surface.

I look forward to helping you on your journey towards self-improvement!

“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become”

You have the power to make change happen In your life, even when you feel powerless. As a mental health counselor, my goal is to help people work through their challenges, improve their overall wellbeing, and to empower clients to make the changes necessary to live a life worth living.

By, utilizing eastern principles of Buddhist psychology coupled with western evidence-based techniques, I will transition my clients to a place of emotional agility and improved quality of life by processing their past experiences, identifying patterns, and assisting in developing coping skills.

Christopher Juzumas
MA, LMHC

While we are the authors of our own lives, it’s easy to overlook the patterns and mistakes that have shaped our journey. Sometimes, the very parts of ourselves that once helped us survive become the very things that keep us stuck causing us to repeat old cycles and wonder, “Why me?”

As someone who began this journey as a client myself, I know firsthand that there is another path, often one we can’t see right in front of us. By choosing the “road less traveled,” we can learn to face what we once feared, embrace our imperfections, and grow stronger through the process of change.

I specialize in working with young adults navigating identity and life transitions, as well as adults seeking to manage and reshape their life paths. I use a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic techniques to explore how your thoughts, feelings, and past experiences shape your present. I also incorporate Person-Centered and Solution-Focused approaches, meeting you where you are and helping you move toward your goals.

I believe in creating a warm, relaxed space where you can feel safe to explore, reflect, and rebuild. Together, we will unravel unhelpful patterns, strengthen your sense of self, and cultivate the life you want. This is your time to rediscover who you are truly meant to be and I would be honored to walk alongside you on that path toward self-worth, resilience, and lasting personal growth.

Karla Lizette Wolfson
MA, LMHC

As a therapist, my goal is to provide my clients with a warm and compassionate environment free from the fear of judgment and criticism. I understand that each person is unique and are all learning how to work through their own life’s challenges. I don’t believe that therapy is a one-size-fits-all approach and I stress the importance of addressing my client’s specific needs to truly feel heard, validated, and in control.

Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness techniques, I teach my clients how to identify and challenge their own negative thought patterns, allowing them to return to living in the present and in turn gain control of their own lives.

SAMANTHA JACOBS
MA, LMHC, CASAC

Life is full of stressors, whether unexpected or planned. It is my goal to provide a safe, warm, supportive and judgement-free space for you to feel heard and understood. We will work collaboratively to build the necessary skills to help you face and overcome these daily stressors or mental health issues that may impact your overall functioning.

I specialize in cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, strengths-based therapy and mindfulness practices. There are no one-size-fits-all solutions. I personalize your treatment based on your unique needs, strengths and goals.

I firmly believe that when you challenge yourself, you’re opening up an opportunity for growth and healing to occur. Sometimes that process is uncomfortable, but you don’t have to go through it alone. I look forward to beginning this journey with you!

The mind is a powerful tool that can be used in ways that most people are unaware of.  My goal is to help individuals gain power over their thoughts by becoming more aware of how they think and what purpose their thoughts serve.

I have experience working in both individual and group psychotherapy settings with children, adolescents, and adults.  I specialize in providing assistance to clients with a wide range of mental health diagnoses, such as Eating Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, and Social-Relational problems.

I practice from an integrative perspective and utilize Cognitive-Behavioral, Dialectical-Behavioral, and Psychodynamic approaches that best suit each client’s needs. I believe that therapeutic success stems from a collaborative environment.

My work focuses on instilling positive coping mechanisms that help clients function their best in daily life. I offer a warm and compassionate environment that focuses on creating treatment goals that best serve each individual client.

Megan Montgomery
MS, LMHC

As someone who has experienced both sides of the therapist’s room, I can empathize with the challenges of finding the right therapist to connect with. My personal journey through therapy has profoundly influenced my approach to create a nurturing and secure environment for you to openly express your thoughts and feelings.

I embrace an integrative approach, tailoring our sessions to best suit your unique needs. With a focus on reframing thought patterns, cultivating mindfulness, and encouraging self-care and self-compassion, I aim to equip you with the tools necessary to alleviate overwhelming emotions and discomfort, helping you progress towards your personal goals.

My dedication to this field drives me to assist individuals in identifying their most significant challenges, processing life’s hardships, and empowering them to regain control over their emotions by recognizing their inherent strengths. It’s important to remember that seeking support is a sign of resilience and inner strength, and I’m here to remind you of that.

I aspire to leave a lasting, positive impact on all my clients, guiding them through their future endeavors. Healing is a unique and non-linear journey, and that’s perfectly okay. It’s time to extend yourself the grace and compassion you deserve as you embark on this transformative journey through the power of therapy.

The past does not define who we are today. Be present, have faith, and stay hopeful. You will get there.

In the years I have worked in the mental health field, creating a safe space for clients to be, share, grow, and become the best version of themselves has always been the goal. As a therapist, I am committed to ensuring you have the space to feel empowered, build a healthy relationship with yourself and others, and effectively manage life’s challenges and anxieties.

Our work together will not only focus on addressing immediate concerns but also on fostering long-term resilience and well-being. By exploring your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a supportive environment, we can uncover the underlying issues that may be holding you back and develop strategies to overcome them. Whether you are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, or life transitions, my aim is to help you navigate these challenges with greater confidence and clarity.

Therapy is a collaborative process, and we will work together to set your goals. My approach is integrative, drawing on techniques from my experience in the mental health field, wellness practices, and mindfulness strategies.  Come in as you are; together, we will build on your strengths and help you find your purpose.
