Hi, I'm Joanie! If you're feeling weighed down by trauma, anxiety, or painful life experiences, you don't have to navigate them alone. Trauma can leave you feeling stuck in the past, constantly on edge, or wondering why certain emotions and reactions seem so difficult to control. My approach is warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental. I work with adults to better understand how past experiences continue to shape their lives today while helping them build the insight, confidence, and tools needed to move forward in a way that feels authentic and empowering.
Are you wanting to make change in life, but are struggling to escape the same old patterns? Looking to empower yourself and create change in your life? I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who has spent my career assisting men in achieving their goals, making lasting and fulfilling relationships, and facing life's challenges head-on. I have worked with adults across the lifespan to address concerns about relationships, behaviors, substance use, and more.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in painful relationship patterns, carrying the effects of trauma, or facing a life transition that feels hard to manage, therapy can be a place to exhale. I work with adults who want support making sense of what they’re going through and finding practical ways to feel more grounded, understood, and in control. I also support clients navigating family dynamics, including experiences related to autism, adoption, and complex relationships.
If you've been awake at 3am running the same loop, or carrying something that happened to you that still shows up in your body years later, or white-knuckling your way through a job that takes more than it gives — you're in the right place. I'm Saleena Neuhaus, and I've been a clinical social worker for more than 13 years. I'm down-to-earth, evidence-based, conversational, and I think shared humor belongs in the therapy room — you're not going to get a blank stare and a notepad from me. My work centers on anxiety, depression, PTSD and trauma, insomnia and sleep problems, ADHD, adjustment and life change, occupational stress, and the relational stuff sitting underneath a lot of it. Sleep is a particular focus of mine, and it's often the thread worth pulling first — when sleep comes back, everything else gets more workable. I've trained and practiced as a trauma-informed provider, which in practice means we move at your pace and nothing gets forced open before you're ready. Most of all, I want you to leave with real hope that recovery is possible and that feeling better is genuinely available to you.
Are you going through a major life change and feeling unsure of what comes next? Maybe you're adjusting to an empty nest, a career change, retirement, or the loss of someone important to you. These changes can bring feelings of worry, sadness, loneliness, or uncertainty about who you are and what you want from life.
I help adults in midlife and later life work through these challenges with greater confidence and peace of mind. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, family concerns, or changes in your health, you don't have to figure everything out on your own.
My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and better able to handle life's ups and downs. Together, we'll explore what matters most to you, build practical tools to manage stress, and find ways to bring more meaning and joy into your life.
I believe that even difficult changes can lead to new opportunities for growth. With compassion, understanding, and years of experience, I'm here to help you move forward in a way that feels right for you.
As a seasoned practitioner (since 2006) with a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, I have dedicated my career to mastering a diverse range of therapeutic modalities to better serve my clients.
My clinical practice is grounded in extensive training across several specialized frameworks, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Additionally, I incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy, and Hypnotherapy into my work, allowing for a highly tailored and comprehensive approach to psychological wellness.
Hi there, my name’s Ephraim and I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20+ years of experience. My specialties consist of relationships, men’s issues, career counseling, and psychosomatic illnesses.
Whether it's individuals or couples, I'm happy to get to work with whomever comes my way. I do my best to facilitate a warm, trusting environment. I received my Bachelors degree in Child Psychology, working initially with the adolescent population before transitioning over to adults. I then received my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy. Looking forward to meeting with you soon!
