“What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” -Mary Oliver I've been thinking about this every day since the first time I read it (or rather the first time it smacked me in the face, oh, so many years ago). It's some question, isn't it? Sometimes it inspires me. Sometimes it frightens me. Since it always challenges me, I've rooted my practice philosophy in it. It's kind of like the adult version of 'what do you want to be when you grow up'? How in the world do we answer that? If the question moves you like it does me then we're probably a good fit. Let's talk about the complexities of making life choices and finding fulfillment.

We know therapy can be nerve-wracking and sometimes awkward, so our approach is rooted in best practices while also being super person-centered. This human first angle will most likely include comfortable conversation, humor, and slight ADHD trains of thought. Our goal is to model authenticity which means, no poker faces over here! Think less suit and tie, more hoodies and pixie dust (or whatever your vibe is). Here, we want to connect with you in a unique way that gives you the empowerment and unnecessary permission to be the you-est you! We want to hear all about your quirky or nerdy hobbies and interests, help analyze those darn complicated relationships and existential thoughts we all have, and encourage you to vent, laugh, cry, cuss, and just breathe.

With 15 years of experience in the mental health field, my area of expertise is working with individuals struggling with anxiety, panic, OCD, body-focused behaviors like hair pulling/skin picking, eating disorders, ARFID, depression, and life transitions. I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space to explore challenges and build resilience. My approach is collaborative—together, we set meaningful goals, break them into manageable steps, and develop skills and tools for lasting change. I utilize evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Habit Reversal Training, Behavioral Activation, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and strength-based approaches. Whether you're struggling with overwhelming thoughts, navigating a major life change, or seeking tools to improve family or relationship dynamics, I'm here to support you through the journey.

Life isn’t what you expected. Something happened. Something happened that you never imagined would happen to YOU and it threw all of your life plans off course. Or maybe you look in the mirror today and just don’t recognize the person you see. Either way, your life has taken a turn and you’re in territory you never prepared for, never anticipated. You feel lost, scared, and alone. Guess what? You’re not. I can help you process the unexpected, regain control of yourself, and move forward to create life-altering change and establish a reality that is probably better than you can visualize right now. All you have to do is reach out. Together we'll identify what isn't working for you anymore (maybe it never has). We’ll direct attention to the solutions - working together to create a treatment plan, a way forward, using a combination of evidence-based practices. You deserve specialized care. I can provide that along with a caring, non-judgmental, safe space to explore and grow. I provide video psychotherapy to people in CA and WI. Want a free 10 minute phone consultation? Please call or email today to schedule!
My name is Bintou Schoen and I am a board certified general adult psychiatrist. I have worked with various populations and have a diverse background working with people with trauma, crisis, depression, anxiety, psychosis, social anxiety, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, grief and loss, relationship problems, etc. I received my undergraduate degree in Microbiology from the University of Georgia. I then attended the Medical College of Georgia where I obtained my medical degree. After that, I received my psychiatric training at the University of South Florida in Tampa Florida. I perform psychiatric evaluations and formulate treatment plans with input from my patients - no single approach is right for every individual. I very much like a positive and practical approach to mental health treatment including medication management and therapy. I think it is important to find balance in your life and it starts with improving self-esteem and good self care. I like a person centered approach meaning finding solutions that work for you based on your values and priorities.

My name is Kaite (they/them), and I am a queer, neurodivergent, nonbinary therapist. I specialize in working with other queer and neurodiverse individuals to heal from trauma, manage depression and anxiety, and find ways to thrive in a world that was not designed with you in mind. I help by utilizing a variety of approaches in my practice, working with you to find strategies and techniques that align with your goals. I am trained in EMDR and CPT, but I also use DBT, MBCBT, ACT, IFS, somatic techniques, and artistic expression as modalities to help you reprocess and heal from trauma. In our first few sessions, you can expect a therapeutic space that is empowering, sensitive to your needs, and based on collaboration rather than looking at you as a problem to be fixed. My practice is unique because I approach healing from a holistic framework that takes all of your identities, experiences, and goals in mind rather than choosing a one size fits all approach. I am passionate about this work because I also know what it’s like to struggle after experiencing trauma, especially when trying to navigate complex medical systems where other providers do not look or experience the world like you do. I firmly stand with all marginalized groups and actively work within an antiracist, feminist, neurodiverse, and gender-affirming lens. I look forward to meeting you and supporting you on your continued journey towards mental wellbeing!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who uses a person-centered cognitive behavioral therapy approach to help clients feel understood, supported, and empowered. I believe people grow best when they’re met with genuine empathy and practical tools they can use in their daily lives. I’m committed to creating an inclusive, affirming space where every person can explore their identity, challenges, and goals without judgment.

Over the past eight years I have worked in the mental health field in a variety of capacities, including inpatient units, residential facilities, and day treatment settings. My experience and training with children, adults, and families in these settings has given me a practical knowledge and understanding when working alongside my clients to facilitate change. A significant part of my experience has been working with adults and children coping with past trauma to safely express their anger, manage their depression, and navigate difficult life events. I strive to meet my clients and their families in the circumstances that they are in and make a collaborative effort to overcome the challenges they face. Each client's history, perspective, and relationships are different which is why I believe each therapeutic approach should be unique to the client. In addition to outpatient therapy, I work part time with the social services department at Rogers Behavioral Health. Forming relationships with clients and being witness to their progress and resiliency is something that has been rewarding. Outside of work I enjoy playing ultimate Frisbee, hiking, reading, and swimming.
