Danielle Ritenour, LMFT
As a therapist I believe transformation is a lifelong skill that can be a terrifying, thrilling and an empowering journey. I try my best to provide a safe environment for my clients and to join them where they are at; in their own unique process of bettering themselves. When an individual is allowed to speak freely, it promotes acceptance, understanding one’s own values/ beliefs and allows mind, body and spiritual growth. It is an honor to be able to provide an encouraging and positive therapeutic experience while accompanying client/clients on their journey.

Maija Slisco, LCSW
I'm a "come as you are" therapist who believes desired change begins with authenticity, curiosity, and meaningful connection. I work from a psychodynamic, relational, and attachment focused lens while incorporating EMDR when helpful. Often, we carry existential stress, burnout, and unhelpful relationship patterns without fully understanding how they shape the way we move through the world. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are. My style is curious, compassionate and direct while grounded in respect, authenticity, insight and meaningful connection. Always LGBTQ+ affirming.

Katherine Box, LCSW
Therapy is a journey toward healing at a time in your life when you may be seeking change, consultation or guidance to manage this change. The desire for this change may come from experiences created by choices from yourself, others or circumstances beyond your control. My approach views therapy not just as treatment, but as an essential journey across all aspects of life. In this process, I see my role as providing focused teaching, guidance, and expert consultation to help you gain insight, reprocess experiences, and build skills for lasting resilience and growth. I look forward to meeting you!
