Amanda Wirth

As a therapist it is my goal to give you the space, time, and support to overcome the struggles you may be facing. I work hard to help you find your own empowerment to work through the difficulties that life throws your way. I am gentle, yet direct when needed, in therapy. My ideal populations include: anxiety/depression, postpartum moms and dads, infertility, grief/loss, LGBTQPIA+, trans affirming therapy, blended families, couples work, body image/self esteem, self harm/suicidality.

We specialize in working with children, couples, families, LGBTQIA+ individuals, mothers in postpartum, faith communities, individuals experiencing traumatic symptomatology, and highly sensitive men.

Claudia Wood

I serve 3 main types of clients: 1) This client has believed they've been in the wrong body their whole life. I help them come to terms with their preferred gender and build their confidence to live their life fully. 2) This client was raised in the church and likely has been negatively affected by purity culture. They are realizing how being taught "sex is bad" can be severely impairing. 3) This client is pregnant/a new parent and is freaking out about this little stranger they popped out.

Jesika Austad

You are experiencing feelings of worthlessness and questions about if you deserve love and genuine connection, wondering if anyone would love you if they truly “knew” you. Your experiences of trauma in childhood and/or adulthood are starting to catch up with you. You are struggling in relationships, noticing difficulties with expressing yourself or being understood. You find yourself drawn to partners and friendships that push the same buttons your parents and childhood relationships did.

Megan Bearce

In my online private practice I currently see individuals and couples and I have a few unique specialties: reducing feelings of overwhelm, perfectionism, or burnout and super commuters or road warriors and/or their spouses. I am a LGBTQIA+ ally and use she/her pronouns.

Sam Anderson

I have immediate openings and respond to all inquires within 24 hours. I specialize in working with individuals that experience depression, anxiety, anger, safety concerns, interpersonal conflict, and difficulty managing stressors. I work with teens / adolescents and adults of any age. Please see my website for more information regarding those that I serve: www.invictuspsychotherapy.com

Tessa Gittleman

People who think I'm a fit are often high-achieving individuals who find it grating to be so acutely aware of their problem(s) or symptom(s), have tried all the solutions they can think of, and are giving therapy “one last chance.” I successfully get clients “unstuck” by challenging them in new, surprising, and unconventional ways that are intended to push people 20% beyond where they are comfortable (because that’s where the growth happens!).

Jennifer Nelson

Teens, young adults, and individual of all stages and phases of life. All are welcome and I specialize in healing from religion of origin trauma, 12 step programs of recovery, reducing stress, anxiety, and depression, and supporting people in the coming out (coming home) process.

Jess Vail

My clients are varied as I have a few non-related specialties. I specialize in reproductive mental health (pregnancy, postpartum, loss and infertility), perfectionistic women, and adults with ADHD. I'm passionate about serving people who feel marginalized in society or live outside the box; LGBTQIA+, those in non-nuclear relationships, gamers/nerds, neurodivergent folks, single parents, and anyone else who has interest or identities that society doesn't affirm/welcome.

Patricia Holdahl

People that come to see me have a variety of concerns. Maybe you have just recently experienced something profound. Maybe you have a long history of intermittent, disturbing or less than pleasant experiences, to say the least. Nevertheless, you are doing the best you can to cope. My clients are seeking long-lasting benefits and a new way to be; both with themselves and with others.

Carolyn Fritz

Carolyn works primarily with adults, and has experience working with chemical dependency, people living with HIV, LGBTQ+ folks, life transitions, people in non-traditional relationship models (such as polyamory and people belonging to kink communities) and mood disorders.

Linnea Logas

If you long for a deeper connection with yourself or your loved ones but feel stuck, unsure of how to find inner-peace due to the deep-seated shackles of shame manifesting as anxiety, body-image issues, or communication and boundary struggles in your relationships, you've come to the right place.

Elaina Vig

I provide a safe, comfortable, and confidential space where you are free to be you. Some areas that I may be helpful: gender and sexuality issues and exploration, disordered eating, depression, anxieties, pet loss, life transitions, & unprocessed traumas. We'll work together to see new perspectives and heal the inner you.

Ashley Myhre

Notice: Ashley is not currently accepting new therapy clients. Individuals and couples come to me when they want help to heal from trauma, manage anxiety, resolve relationship difficulties, and feel better. I strive to make therapy a safe and accepting space where you can be fully who you are, and that includes all of the quirks, passions, and lifestyle factors that come with being uniquely you. I am sex, body, and weight positive, LGBTQIA+ friendly, and poly and kink welcoming.

JAC Stringer

I do not have openings or a waitlist & cannot answer requests about future availability. I am still providing letters in one session for people of any age. JAC works with high need trans youth & young adults 13-25, who wish to process their identity, experience, and mental health including depression, bipolar moods, anxiety, dissociation, trauma, self-harm, suicidality, & disability/chronic pain. He specializes in gender, sexuality, & serving the LGBTQPIA2S+ community.

Ian Felton

Imagine no longer being filled with painful thoughts and feelings and being able to slowly open up to a more meaningful life. Right now, it seems like the pain inside makes each day far more difficult than it needs to be. You feel alone in your hurt and want someone to help you be free of it.

Katharine Simpson

You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, the effects of trauma, and/or the uncertainties of living in this modern & systemically unfair world. You might be feeling a lack meaning in your life, while at the same time hoping that meaning does exist out there somewhere. You might be finding it difficult to connect socially or romantically. And you're now taking that important step of finding someone to help you on your unique journey towards vibrant mental health.
