Pillars of Hope Counseling is about courage, trust, and strength. It takes courage to recognize the need or desire for help. Trust to explore a variety of perspectives and opportunities. Strength to rise above tough challenges. These are the pillars we all possess but often don’t see in ourselves. I help people realize their talents, uncover hidden passions, find forgotten dreams, and overcome difficult life events.

Joshua Ziegler

Through all stages of life, from birth to death, I help individuals, couples and families get through troubled times, tackle new and old problems and develop realistic and sustainable solutions. We answer questions like "how will you know therapy is helping you?" and "what changes will others notice about you that will let you know therapy is working?"

Kimberly Dickenson

This time of life can be overwhelming, so full of change and new that sometimes it feels like too much. It can be confusing trying to figure out who you are, what you believe, how to be in relationships with others and even with yourself! Developing autonomy is exciting and it can also be scary to have to “adult” so much. You are taking responsibility for yourself, but probably still feel like you are ‘not quite’ an adult. I love to help people navigate this in-between time.

Lindsey Nelson

I work best with clients aged 16-150, specializing with healing the myriad of expressions of trauma. I also work through a Health at Every Size, radical self acceptance and social justice lens. My clients respond well to my warm, humorous, approachable, and honest style. I have specialty training in EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, and Relational Gestalt Therapy. A lot of folks I work with describe themselves as weirdos, creatives, outsiders, punks, activists, and radicals.

Leslie Taylor

I specialize in working with folks who are struggling with anxiety, depression, or substance use disorders. I am passionate about working with adolescents, couples, and adults and incorporate a systems perspective with each individual. All of us are affected by relationships and experiences. But we are also affected by the larger systems around us. I want to understand your personal experience within both your family and immediate community as well as the larger community encompassing it.

Esther Sexton

I specialize in working with sexual and gender minority clients as well as those who struggle with substance use concerns. I identify as a sex positive and kink friendly therapist and enjoy working with clients who are polyamorous, are in other forms of ethical non-monogamous relationships, or are exploring relationship styles, sexual orientation, or gender identity. In working with those struggling with substance concerns I am open to both harm reduction and abstinence approaches.

I’m continually curious about my clients. A recognition of the inner strength displayed through the story of an individual is my refrain in the therapy room.

Richard Halpern

You love being a parent! You try your best. And sometimes, it feels overwhelming. I help parents who are partnered, separated, or divorced co-parent as a team and trust their choices. From navigating the bedtime routine of a not-sleepy 3 year old, or a teenager dealing with cyber-bullying , we look at strategies you can use today. How can we prioritize our children, keep them emotionally safe and happy, going through a divorce or moving to a new town? By request, glad to meet with your child.

My clients are adults working to improve their well being. Some are working on addressing trauma or depression, and other are addressing disordered eating, anxiety, and addictions. Many are processing experiences and challenging beliefs that cause feelings of shame, damage their esteem, and impact their relationships.

Individuals experience circumstances within the context of a system. In relationship therapy, my philosophy is to take into account each person within different systems including, family, couples, children, extended family, and relationships within your workplace. Each individual adds to the dynamic of relationships through his or her experiences. My clinical focus is through the lens of attachment, that is, how are the bonds we are creating effective or ineffective in our current lives. You are

Relationship are hard. There are times when everything you do ends up in a fight. Or maybe you avoid each other so you won't get into an argument. Even in marriage, you can feel like you are all alone. Everything just feels out of sync. Or maybe you are an adolescent or individual experiencing anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. School or work just isn't all that fulfilling, or the stress just feels unbearable. It doesn't have to be this way. Things can change. I can help you.

Do you feel exhausted trying to hold it all together? Do you feel like your brain has a hamster wheel spinning through responsibilities, forgotten tasks, and “should-dos,” without the desire to do them? Are you scrambling to cover up dropped plates?

Together, we can find space to balance the spinning plates and feel like you don’t have to be on high alert for something crashing down. You don’t have to feel on edge all the time.

The immobilization of hopelessness, the pain and destabilization of loss, infidelity, or abuse are burdens that we were never meant to carry alone. You are here because you are looking to take that next step toward healing, trusting that something new is possible.
