Our Therapists

Featured Therapist: Alex Stewart

“Whether you’re struggling with setting your own routines, financial burdens, academic expectations, or the uncertainty of the future, these circumstances can leave you with a handful of feelings: Guilt, exhaustion, doubt, anxiety, and more. Don’t spend another day sinking into uncertainty. The idea of sharing your thoughts and feelings with a stranger can feel weird and daunting, but I’d be happy to come alongside you to talk about your goals and the possibilities that lie ahead.”

Maddie is someone who is empathetic and cares when people are hurting. She does not shy away from what needs to be asked because she cares enough to bring it up. -BL

I feel heard in a special way. When I am speaking I can trust Maddie is actually listening to what I am saying and is seeking to understand me, and that means so much to me. - AJ

Maddie created for me a safe space where I was able to be vulnerable to share my good and bad experiences and never feel judged. Maddie made sure we focused on my goals for therapy, making me feel cared for. - FA

Lydia is a wonderful counselor, because of her kindness. When I say kindness, I mean a deep authentic, not forced kindness toward all living creatures and a genuine desire to help others be well. She recognizes that people and families come in all forms and have layers of complexity not easily understood. Her warmth and ability to connect gave me confidence in her abilities. - TL

“I am grateful for how Lydia has helped me to see that the way I speak to and about myself is critical, hurtful, and just plain mean. She helped me to explore where the negative language I use to describe myself comes from and how I can challenge it.” - EM
