Sarah Fletcher, LMHCa

I believe in holistic wellness. Mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health are all vital aspects of wellness- when one area suffers, the others often do too. I consider you as a whole person rather than a diagnosis, and can support the underlying concerns rather than masking the symptoms.  Each person possesses a unique set of strengths and skills that we will build upon to leave you feeling confident to be the driver of your wellness. I believe that you are the best expert on yourself. My goal is to be your ally and advocate in achieving your goals. With that in mind, therapy is often most effective when the client is actively engaged and communicative throughout the process.

Through a holistic and biopsychosocial spiritual lens, my goal is to promote your child’s specific balance of mind, body and spirit utilizing whole body supportive interventions, while honoring multiculturism and ancestral backgrounds.  I utilize a strength-based, collaborative, approach with a focus on holistic intersectionality and awareness we are all influenced by our family of origin, cultural backgrounds and social networks.  Your child may be facing challenging times in which talking with someone to work together to help identify concerns could be foundational to finding answers and building coping strategies and skills to support life-long resilience. My internship to was located in a private school working with preschool through 8th grade-aged children with a focus on emotional support related to both school and family and advocating for children of color.  Previously, I spent countless hours volunteering in both pre- and elementary schools working with children individually and small groups as well as leadership roles in various art or community service groups affiliated with children.

Justin Marr, LMFTa

I can help guide couples/individuals through communication issues, self-exploration, identifying/expressing needs, anxiety/depression, OCD, spiritual questioning, and life transitions (breakups, new relationships, job changes, parenting). I affirm all identities and relationships (LGBTQIA+, non-monogamy, kink, etc.) and would love to work with you!  My approach is strength-based, collaborative, and solution-focused. I believe all people are worthy, resilient, and capable of thriving. But sometimes we get stuck. It can be difficult to reach out for help and I appreciate the courage it takes. I’m here to offer you a safe and non-judgemental space for self-discovery and change. Let’s move forward together.

Something's not working. It's your relationship with a partner or child. It's your sex life, career, or friendships. You're struggling with life transitions, like having a new baby, launching young adult children, getting a divorce, or retiring from your job. You're grieving a loss, feeling anxious, or feeling disconnected from your body. I want to provide a space for you to be heard and to heal. I offer a listening ear and a warm, calm presence. I honor your unique lived experiences and view you as the expert on your own life.
We'll look at how past events influence you and increase your understanding so that you can become freer to act more adaptively today. I work with you in a goal-oriented and solution-focused approach. Through our time together you will gain insights that help you build positive relationships and take steps towards the life you want to live.  Not currently taking clients.

Clare Honn, LMFTa
Making the choice to find someone to speak to is a courageous step. Whether you are looking to deepen your understanding of who you are, or heal from life's challenges, I help individuals and couples develop awareness and compassion for themselves and others. In individual therapy, I help clients address issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, and personal growth, employing a compassionate and individualized approach. In couples therapy, I use attachment theory and narrative therapy to rebuild trust and understanding, fostering healthier relationships.

I am entering this field with a decade of social work experience which gives me a unique perspective on systemic issues, patterns of behavior, and human strength and resilience. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I believe in a holistic approach to therapy. I draw from solution-focused therapy, narrative therapy, and other integrative and empowering methods to create a personalized experience to meet your unique needs.

Have you noticed that past traumatic experiences are impacting the way you show up in the world and navigate relationships? You have noticed an increase in anxiety or depression and are starting to feel disconnected from your emotions.  You are noticing how these are all impacting your day to day life. Taking the first steps to attend to your whole self and explore your mental health needs and goals can be daunting. With support, empathy, and understanding it is easier to navigate challenging periods in our lives together instead of doing it alone.

We can find the tools to assist you in exploring your lived experiences, connecting with your full self. I provide a safe and welcoming therapeutic space where you can honor your lived experiences, achieve your personal goals, and feel empowered.

You have been holding it together on your own for so long. Life's pressures feel heavy and it feels like you are cracking. The pressure is your romantic relationship, maybe infidelity, communication or your sex life. Or it is work/school stress impacted by anxiety, low self esteem or performance pressures. It is a combination of many things that have left you feeling it is time to seek help, to no longer hold this burden alone.  

We begin where you are ready to start. We work together to understand your goals, a future that feels less daunting and more what you envision for yourself. Small changes are created to improve mental health and big changes will come from increased self awareness. You have taken the step towards feeling lighter, reaching your goals.  You need a break from holding it all together. You are not alone. Reach out for a free 15 minute consultation. The first email/call is always the most difficult. You are ready.  I am pursuing a masters degree. Intership until December 2024.

Life, whether at home or school, is challenging your inner thoughts and emotions. In the in-between times, you may become hopeless or overwhelmed, feeling disconnected from yourself or the world around you. Your sense of self becomes dysregulated and you are off balance. You have low energy, diminished self-confidence, feeling isolated from family and friends. The future, and the positive parts of your life, are hard to see. You know something doesnt feel right and you want to feel better, want to express yourself and get onto the path of healing.

I will meet you where you are on your journey, being present and hearing your needs. Collaboratively, we will identify goals and work towards healing in a space that promotes expression through imagination and creativity. Combining art therapy and evidence based modalities, we will explore your part of the systems in your life and your lived experience.You are not alone. I'm ready to embark on this journey alongside you. I invite you to send me an email for a free consultation to begin.  I am pursuing a masters degree. Internship until December 2024.
