Doctors and nurse Practitioners

Kenneth David Holladay, MD

I see myself as a pragmatist and an idealist with a diversity of interests within and outside the field of mental health. I tend to see people as basically doing the best they can. We are all “works in progress”. Throughout the bulk of my professional career, I have seen very young children, people in the last chapters of their lives, and all ages in between.      

MIke Dickerson, MD

I work with individuals to help empower them to find ways to improve their quality of life and reduce suffering. My approach focuses on empathy, thoughtfulness, and collaboration.

Meghan Farrell, PMHNP BC

As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I have eleven years of experience treating children, adolescents, and adults in the inpatient and outpatient settings. My approach to psychiatric services is holistic in nature.                  
 


Carl glissmeyer, PA-C

I believe each person has a unique story that deserves attention, and I am committed to listening. Let's make decisions together – I want you to feel well-informed and actively engaged in your care.

Rod Olin, PMHNP

It is a joy and honor to join with people to outlining their own unique path to wellness.  I believe in a whole person, whole body approach to mental health and practice trauma informed, compassionate delivery of behavioral health care.


Sari Matisoff, PMHNP

I specialize in psychiatric medication management for adults. I practice with a strong emphasis on the mind-body connection, and try to treat the individual as a whole person, rather than treating symptoms.


Therapists

Alyssa Rose Crenshaw, LAT, LPC

As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Art Therapist, I utilize multiple tools and therapeutic approaches to help work alongside my clients and their families to alleviate symptoms, achieve goals and attain balance. I specialize in working with children, adolescents and families, and have particular experience working with young children.

Ariana Ames, LCSW

Discovering meaning, joy and fulfillment in life is possible. My therapeutic style is guided by values of acceptance, warmth, and curiosity and I integrate a variety of approaches to support adults, teens, children and families to expand self-awareness, build resilience, heal from trauma and strengthen relationships.    

Eric Loya, LCSW

I use a humanistic approach in therapy, devoted to attuning to the unique intentions and challenges of each adolescent, adult, and family I work with. Using supportive strategies in therapy, I strive to equip you with tools to overcome life’s obstacles and sustain your internal strengths.

Alex Bistroi, LPC

I believe all people strive for meaning, autonomy and relationship. I aim to help clients identify what motivates them, what they want and need, and improve their capacity for being present with their experience. I am honored to be a part of my clients' self-discovery and growth process.


 

Ryan Harris, LCSW

I believe that building a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients is the key to a successful therapeutic relationship. I strive to create a safe place for my children, adolescents and adults to explore every day stressors as well as be challenged to learn skills and explore thought processes that might be getting in their way of living up to their fullest potential. I have a passion for working with transgender, gender fluid clients as well as clients who are exploring their gender identity.

Brian Whitmer, LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing psychotherapy to adolescents and adults and family based interventions to children and their caregivers. I have over 18 years of experience in a variety of inpatient and outpatient settings. I offer my services to you with humility and optimism. Whatever difficulties you are facing, when you enter therapy with me you gain an ally and guide who is gentle, confident, and competent.

 

Jules Joannini, LMFT

I believe it is important for every person to have a relationship where they can challenge their beliefs and assumptions about themselves and the world. I value a relationship that encourages self exploration, insight and positive change. I work collaboratively with clients to provide a safe and supportive environment, one that allows reflection in order to develop new ways of handling life's challenges. My style is warm, nurturing and engaged, while at times honest and directive.

Laura Stanley, LPC

I believe that everyone has an innate drive towards healing and fulfilling a unique purpose in life. Whether through “parts work”, somatic and mindfulness approaches, or expressive arts when in person sessions are possible, I look forward to helping you thrive on your life voyage. We might travel through difficult feelings and sensations, explore old patterns that no longer feel helpful, get to know your parts and related dynamics, navigate through your dream life or a hard situation, or spend time envisioning and working towards the life you know is possible.

Elizabeth Purcell, LPC, ATR-BC

Therapy is a creative partnership in which every part of you is allowed to exist and evolve. I am a licensed art therapist and believe supportive relationships are essential to our individual journeys. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults and families for 8+ years in a variety of settings. I am here to provide a safe, exploratory space between you and the rest of the world where your healing is fully supported.

 

AMAnda Hughes, LPC

Exploring the inner workings of our mind is an enriching and powerful experience. Therapy is a place to discover ourselves in the context of a warm, intentional relationship. In our work together we will build upon your strengths to help deepen your awareness and the connections that matter to you most.

Danielle Foote, LCSW

Therapy is an audacious endeavor. The reasons we seek it out are many and rarely straightforward. In all cases, however, I believe we come primarily for an experience, not an explanation. I practice a way of working that views the relationship as central to the therapeutic process. My ultimate value as a therapist lies in my ability to know myself, understand you, and help us navigate what emerges between us. As such, emotional honesty and authenticity are guiding principles for me. ​​

Ralph Huerta, LCSW

I think we live in an incredible confusing time with unfettered access to information, the lives of others, global issues, all accompanied by the nuance and mystery of the human condition. What if the things we're doing to help mitigate the stress and pressure of everyday life actually moves us further away from our ideas of happiness and contentment? Maybe the most fundamental and useful tool we have at our disposal is working against us? I believe every person has an untapped reservoir of inner strength with the capacity to create lasting change in their lives. I think this is driven by making small, incremental adjustments to the way we think and act, movement in the natural world and allowing our minds to have peace.

Emily persico, LPC

Therapy is a process of intentional, supported transformation. As your therapist, I will help you to foster self-compassion, expand your ability to observe and accept yourself and your circumstances as they truly are. We will work on building momentum, as well as identifying and implementing skills to create valued change. I truly believe that our personal healing work reverberates, and benefits the world around us. My approach is empathic, authentic, and honoring of your resilience and inner healing abilities.

 

Psychologists

Rachel Archer, Psyd

By developing insight into your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, and by practicing new skills and ways of relating to yourself and others, our work together will help you heal emotional pain, increase self-understanding, improve relationships, and cope more effectively with future challenges.

 

Randall Wright, Psyd

I practice depth psychology, meaning that one’s whole life story is important when considering present difficulties, difficult relationships, or emotional discord.  In knowing how our experiences have shaped us, we can bring healing to relational patterns that are not working, and find greater happiness in this life.
