Change is inevitable. So what happens when the consequences of the change are so negative they severely impact our lives? We sometimes feel stuck, unsure of what direction to proceed. In my practice, WalkinTalkinTherapy, I provide an avenue to address these changes by combining the simplicity of walking outdoors with talk therapy. Advocates of the combined approach say that being active during the session helps patients relax and open up - scientists have long known that a workout can temporarily boost serotonin levels and improve mood, the latest research shows that exercise can have a deeper and more lasting effect.

Some of the problems I have helped my clients with: depression, anxiety, relationship problems, isolation, trauma, addiction, anger management, and relational conflicts.

Many of my clients are looking for emotional support and greater direction in life.

Being curious about what makes us feel and act the way we do brings authenticity, creativity, and choices into our lives. Our self-concept and beliefs about the world are often formed in childhood and learned in our primary relationships. Unconsciously, these early experiences guide many of the decisions in our lives. I am passionate about exploring with you, the patterns that may leave you feeling confused, frustrated, or unable to move forward. Together, we will create space to cultivate conscious and caring responses to the inevitable challenging events of life.

distress can take many forms, depression, excessive use of drugs and alcohol, anxiety or troubled relationships.

I offer EMDR, Hypnosis, Mindfulness and family of origin based therapies, as well as Addiction and relapse management therapies.

Day and Evening Availability! - Hi, I'm Tzvi! (pronounced Suh-vee), I believe the most important element for positive change in a person’s life through therapy is the therapeutic alliance.

I understand the courage, perseverance, and vulnerability it takes to begin therapy. As a licensed clinical social worker, I take a kind, nonjudgmental approach so that you are better able to recognize what you need from sessions.

My personal belief is that everyone is doing their best with the tools they have. I utilize an individualized approach rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to strengthen resiliency and provide coping skills to overcome daily life stressors. If you have ever found yourself stuck and desire a way to navigate and work through your personal challanges, together we can create that change.

My name is Debra Stonewall. I am a licensed Professional Counselor along with a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor. I take a Person-Centered approach to therapy. I pride myself on helping my clients feel connected instead of evaluated. My specialties are anxiety, depression, mood disorders, personality disorders, marriage, and trauma.

I have been exposed to and lived through some of the unique problems military families and soldiers experience.

Patients very often say "I wish I had started my treatment years ago". The harsh reality is that emotional struggles to this day continue to be stigmatized and shamed. The brain is an organ, and like any other physiological system it may require some fine tuning from time to time. Whether you or a loved one have been under the grips of anxiety, depression, difficulty sleeping, or simply sub-optimal functioning, we can have an open, honest discussion about whether medication is the right answer. Throughout my 15 years in psychiatry, I've had no greater joy than to see my patients improve. It's never too late to get help.

Life is full of ups and downs. A big transition, the death of a loved one, or a traumatic event can show up as anxiety, depression, addiction, or even physical pain. These feelings don’t have to linger. With evidence-based therapies, such as EMDR, I can help you overcome traumatic events or simply unhealthy (and often untrue) ways of thinking of yourself and emerge as the “new” you with the clarity, confidence, and joy needed to live the life you deserve.

Feeling like you're your own worst enemy? I believe in the power of compassion to help you be kinder to yourself, feel better about who you are, improve relationships, overcome trauma, and empower you to make your life what you want it to be. We all have the power within us, we just need the keys to unlock it. I will guide you in learning how to address your inner critic, change negative self-talk, and overcome the shame that is so often the biggest stumbling block to positive change and transformation. I will also teach you how to calm your nervous system and lessen anxiety simply by controlling your breathing.

Hello! I'm excited to welcome you to my practice, where I offer personalized support for a wide range of mental health needs. As a psychologist, my journey started with a simple curiosity about human resilience, which has evolved into a passion for helping people become the best version of themselves. I specialize in creating a safe space for individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, work and life stress, and a variety of other mental health issues. Whether you're looking to build on previous experience or feeling overwhelmed by life, I'm here to help. My approach is all about you.

If you lean towards a spiritual life view, blending eastern & western principles, I'm the coach for you. I help you integrate trauma-sensitive HeartMath technology, IFS concepts, and Polyvagal Theory to support your healing. Leaning into transpersonal explorations - synthesizing psychology & spirituality, you will come away with a sense of peace and freedom, as well as tangible practices to support you in bringing new life to your relationships, work, and life.

Being a human is complicated. We all can use someone to help us sift through the noise and connect with our inner truths. Good news: the mind is hardwired to heal itself. Given the right conditions, we are all naturally inclined to integrate the various parts of ourselves and find peace in our wholeness. My role is to foster these conditions. The therapy room is a spacious place, free of judgement and full of care, where any and everything you show up with is welcome. I am genuine and direct with my communication, and also recognize that, ultimately, you are the expert on your own life.

Along the road, we all developed temporary tools to solve the problems in our lives. Unfortunately, we often forgot to stop using those tools, and they became "permanent." In the end, using the wrong tool to solve a problem does not make one's life better, only worse. In therapy, I work with adolescents and adults to re-tool and get more of what they want out of life. Let's get started!
