Hi, I’m Amaris, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes healing happens best in a space where you feel safe, understood, and never judged.
I work with children, teens, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, emotional overwhelm, grief, and major life transitions. Whether your child is having big feelings they don’t know how to manage, you’re feeling stuck in patterns that don’t serve you, or your family is walking through the heartbreak of dementia or loss, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
My style is supportive, down-to-earth, and collaborative. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you, it’s about helping you understand yourself, build practical tools, and feel more confident handling life’s challenges. I blend evidence-based approaches with compassion, creativity, and sometimes even humor, because growth doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time.
Parents appreciate that I help kids build emotional regulation skills in ways that make sense to them, and I make sure caregivers feel supported too. Adults often come to me when anxiety, emotional ups and downs, or grief feel overwhelming. I also have a special place in my heart for working with older adults and families facing Alzheimer’s, dementia, and end-of-life changes.
At the core of my work is this belief:
You are not broken, you’re human, and you’re capable of growth.
If you’re ready for a space where you can show up exactly as you are, we’ll work at your pace, together.
Hello, I'm Jennifer Eastman, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I provide comprehensive care for the full spectrum of complex psychiatric conditions, including ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, OCD, personality disorders, PTSD and trauma, schizophrenia and psychosis disorders, substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, panic disorders, mood disorders, and bipolar conditions. My practice is dedicated to supporting individuals who need specialized expertise across multiple areas.
What sets my practice apart is my extensive experience with co-occurring conditions and complex presentations. Many patients come to me after struggling to find providers comfortable with their multifaceted needs. I understand that conditions like ADHD and autism often intersect with trauma, that personality patterns can develop alongside substance use, and that psychotic symptoms can complicate other diagnoses.
My approach combines evidence-based treatments with genuine empathy and respect for your unique journey. Whether you're seeking your first diagnosis, managing multiple conditions, or looking for someone who can see the bigger picture of your mental health, I bring the expertise and patience needed to address complexity without judgment.
I believe in collaborative care where your voice guides treatment decisions. Together, we'll work to understand your conditions, develop effective strategies, and build resilience. Real progress begins with feeling truly understood. I'm here to support you with clinical excellence and compassionate care every step of the way.

Hi! I'm andrew (Drew) Sutherland. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist focusing on helping people feel better day to day, month to month, or year to year. Do you feel like you should be enjoying life more? Do thoughts of the past or images from a future keep you from moving forward with the things you want to do? Do you feel as if you are a passenger in your life rather than the one driving action, growth, change, and happiness? I understand. I felt the same way before I began my mental health journey. I use a client centered approach and tailor my work to what you need. You are in the driver's seat. Together, we will collaboratively work to help you become what you have only imagined.
Choosing a therapist is a big decision, and it helps to know a little about the person you’ll be working with. With more than 18 years in behavioral health, I’ve supported people from all walks of life through mental health challenges, trauma, and major life transitions. Whatever brought you here, I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you move forward with more confidence and resilience.
