I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with fear of abandonment, feelings of instability in relationships, and those experiencing intense emotional turbulence. Whether you feel overwhelmed by the intensity of your emotions or find yourself caught in unhealthy relationship patterns, my approach is grounded in empathy, support, and understanding. I help clients navigate these challenges by creating a safe, non-judgmental space where we can explore the roots of your concerns and develop healthier coping strategies. With a background shaped by working around the world, I bring a unique global perspective to my work. Many of my clients come to me feeling alone, misunderstood, or as though their emotional experiences are difficult to express or process. If this resonates with you, know that you're not alone. Together, we can explore these feelings, understand their deeper causes, and work toward emotional clarity and healing.

With over 7 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults navigating trauma, adversity and other life stressors, I have witnessed that trauma and stress are not simply our thoughts but deeply embedded in our minds and bodies, causing impact to the whole person. This understanding has informed my clinical approach through helping individuals regulate their stress response and nervous system so they can feel more in control of their emotions, thoughts, and reactions. My therapeutic approach is rooted in the belief that change is possible through safe and healthy connections and feeling seen and heard.

Whether you're worrying often, struggling with relationship stress and conflict, needing to process traumatic events, or wanting to experience a more loving sense of self, beginning therapy can be anxiety-provoking and takes courage. I hope to make your experience a little easier by listening with compassion and curiosity, moving at your pace, and centering the therapy around your needs. Do others describe you as overachieving, self-reliant, perfectionistic, or Type-A? Do you struggle with creating enough balance in your life? Do you lose track of your needs & desires, and then find yourself feeling burnt out or resentful of others? We will work together to help you feel more grounded and centered, develop effective communication skills, set & maintain boundaries that feel good, experience greater compassion towards yourself, and feel more connected to others. We can work through whatever barriers are getting in the way of creating more play, softness, love, rest & support in your life. I am trained in psychodynamic therapy & mindfulness-based somatic therapy, two powerful ways of working that promote greater awareness, connection, and sense of freedom. I welcome you to reach out for a phone consult & we can feel into if we're a good fit to work together.

Hi! I am Dr. Amy and I love working with college students, whether as a professor or as a counselor. I understand the types of stress that college students have to navigate and how overwhelming it can feel. Together you and I will break things down into smaller pieces and look at your thoughts and feelings against the background of possible diagnoses. Sometimes having a name for what we are struggling with can be very helpful. I specialize in ADHD, disordered eating, substance misuse, relationship issues, and anxiety/depression. I have been teaching and working with college students for many, many years—primarily teaching attachment and developmental psychology—so psycho-education is a big part of what we will do together. Please feel free to reach out to me to see if we are a good fit.

At Solstice, NP in Psychiatry & Family Health, PLLC, we provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health care for college students and adults navigating stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, sleep difficulties, mood changes, and life transitions.

Hi! My name is Samantha Fontana, a licensed mental health counselor at Spotless Mind Mental Health Counseling. I collaboratively work with young adults and adults to improve their mental health by utilizing an integrated and evidence-based treatment approach. Psychodynamic talk therapy, CBT, DBT, ERP, and psychoeducation are just a few of the treatment approaches that I incorporate, as I believe therapy should be individualized for you.

Mental health affects every part of your life, and I am here to provide a safe, empathetic, and judgement-free space to explore and express what you are experiencing. It is important to talk about your feelings and experiences, and by examining them together, we can address any concerns regarding anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or negative thoughts, to name a few. We can then work on building coping skills to help you deal with life’s stressors. I look forward to helping guide you along your journey to a happier and healthier mental well-being.

If you've ever felt caught between worlds, or like your path hasn't quite followed the expected script, I get it — I've lived that too. I work with individuals of all ages who struggle with self-criticism, people-pleasing, and difficulty asserting their needs in relationships or life decisions. Working primarily from a psychodynamic approach, I help clients explore the deeper patterns and early experiences that shape their present thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we'll investigate unexamined beliefs and influences that may be holding you back from living a life more fully like your own.

I have been working in the outpatient setting for over 10 years. I've rotated through a student mental health clinic during my training and have worked with many college aged students. College can be an exciting time of change and growth and finding purpose and connection. College can also be a big adjustment, as you acclimate to a new setting, new responsibilities and being away from home for an extended period, sometimes for the first time. It is often during these big life changes that you may need a little extra help settling in, getting into new routines. Through a combination of therapy and careful use of medication, we can work on getting you in a place to fully engage in and enjoy your college experience.
