Kevin M Vail

I am deliberate about being present and bringing my authentic self to each session while nurturing a genuine sense of connection. Shaping your counseling experience to not be cookie-cutter or copy and pasted, but to be individualized and exclusively your own. Using scientifically proven methods, humor, and insight to achieve the best outcome for you.

Sam Boyd

People describe me as easy to talk to, a grounded, engaged listener that brings a warm and welcoming spirit to sessions. I source from various approaches which allow us to be flexible and responsive as we craft a plan that is tailor fit for you and your unique situation. We’ll strive to discover more adaptive ways of living. Exploring together how a more compassionate approach can foster new confidence as you face challenges head on with strength and newfound resiliency.

Therapy has improved my life in countless ways. I’m so grateful now that I get to support clients as they make meaningful change in their lives.

Matt McCarthy

Therapy is a place to slow down, feel your feelings, and get to know yourself more deeply. Some of my clients use therapy to tackle a specific problem, others simply need a supportive space in which to process each week. Having worked in the mental health field for 10+ years, I’ve helped people address a wide range of concerns, and especially enjoy working on relationships/dating issues, trauma, anxiety, and life transitions. In addition to talk therapy, I also have advanced training in EMDR and complex trauma.

We’ll know that therapy is working when you can 1) show up for yourself each day and 2) form deep connections with your loved ones. Reach out today to set up an intro phone call.

Craig Mead

I genuinely enjoy helping other men overcome their problems and use my own experience with similar difficulties to help others move forward in their lives and achieve a more balanced, healthy, and happy life. I provide telehealth services exclusively and frequently work with those who struggle with depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, anger management, work/school stress management or performance issues, life transition difficulty, and relationship problems. I use traditional methods such as cognitive and dialectical behavior therapies but also incorporate other approaches and holistic wellness methods.

Dr. Andrew Bingman

The most common phrase I hear from clients is “not good enough.” Many of us come to believe that we are unworthy of acceptance, so we conceal aspects of our identities that others might view as unacceptable and present a fragmented version of ourselves to others. My task as a therapist is to create a safe environment in which you can be your whole self, without fear of judgment. I am committed not only to understanding and validating you, but also to helping you learn how to understand and validate yourself. I am a licensed psychologist providing virtual therapy to adult clients, and my specialties include men’s issues, LGBTQIA+ concerns, early childhood trauma, shame, anger, depression, anxiety, and occupational concerns.

Joseph Harrington

I view therapy as a creative and collaborative experience that requires a unique approach for every individual. With that in mind, I find a genuine, supportive, and transparent relationship to be an important foundation for healing and growth. I endeavor to create a safe and empowering space for you to explore all aspects of yourself, meet your goals, and create a life of flourishing.

I have been a mental health provider for nearly 20 years. I absolutely love what I do! I was trained psychoanalytically but also use a humanistic, client-centered and eclectic approach to therapy.
