THERAPY, BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT, PC-CARE, CHILDREN

Jacob Pospychalla, LMFT

I am a firm believer in perpetual personal growth and that we are constantly evolving throughout our lives; every interaction and choice progresses us through the development of self. Through this foundation I am a strong advocate of helping you understand your needs, values, and hopes as a framework to your decisions and goals. You are who you are today because of what you have experienced, and you will be who you are tomorrow because of the choices you make today.

My clinical work experience is wide-ranging, which includes helping parents understand their children's behaviors and how best to manage healthier alternatives, supporting LGBTQ+ folk through their journey in identity, facilitating conversational growth in couples, and the many different facets of stress and anxiety that all individuals progress through.

I aim to facilitate a supportive, warm, respectful, and genuine therapeutic experience focusing on you as the master of your treatment. As a multiculturally sensitive and queer allied therapist I welcome the opportunity to work with individuals from various ethnic, religious, and socio-economic backgrounds. You have the power to grow into who you want to be.

THERAPY, ART THERAPY,

Bridget Krohlow, AMFT

Supervised by Jacob Pospychalla, LMFT

I enjoy creating a neurodivergent affirming, LGBTQIA+ affirming, sensitive, creative, exploratory therapeutic space. I work with all ages, individuals, partnerships, and families across all cultural backgrounds. Currently, I am only seeing clients online. As a therapist, I bring a lot of empathy, humility, sensitivity, playfulness, creativity, and calm grounded-ness to my sessions.  

While I try to tailor my approach to each individual, some therapeutic focuses of mine are client-centered, strength-based, trauma-informed, relational therapy, play therapy, narrative therapy, somatic therapy, sandtray therapy, and expressive arts therapy. This means I believe that together we can strengthen your light and bring balance to the darkness you may be struggling with. Collaboratively guiding you to integrate and grow towards your desires and celebrate you. Look forward to meeting all of you.

Steve Ruble, AMFT

Supervised By Elyse Davis, LMFT

To walk with you alongside your healing journey is to walk with you on truly sacred grounds. If you’ve ever felt lost and disconnected searching for answers, meaning, closure, or feeling like healing from traumatic experiences is an arduous task– I'm honored to help you take hold of the glimmers in life and achieve post-traumatic growth with a sense of resilience and lightness in your being.

My passion as a therapist is seeing clients transform into the best versions of themselves and maximize their potential through the therapeutic process. At times, the tumultuous cycles from our traumatic past and anxiousness towards the future can pick-pocket that potential in the present facets of our lives. My purpose is to empathically guide you on your mental health journey to a place where you can harness opportunities to break the traumatic cycles and have you experience your authentic self thrive towards the quality of life you seek. My approach to therapy comes with a sense of empathetic insightfulness and depth paired with playfulness, humor, and adaptive creativity in our sessions.

I have a heart for working with diverse communities and people from all walks of life. I have experience helping younger and older adults, couples, and families acquire the insight and tools they need to have more self-compassion, a deeper sense of self-confidence, facilitate change in behavioral and communication patterns, dissolve conflict, and find the root of core wounds so that healing is possible. I practice Experiential Gestalt and Jungian Therapy alongside Existential Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Gottman, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Imago Relationship/Inner Child Parts Work Therapy, and Narrative Therapy to help clients achieve their personalized therapy goals.

I look forward to our journey together.

Sadaf Kadkhodai, AMFT/APCC

Supervised by Jacob Pospychalla, LMFT

Hello! My name is Sadaf, and I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s inevitable ups and downs. As an AMFT and APCC, I thrive when providing care and guidance to my clients. I believe in a collaborative approach, working alongside clients to set meaningful goals, uncover strengths, explore values, and reach their highest potential. As a therapist, creating strong therapeutic alliances with my clients is at the heart of my practice. I strive to cultivate a welcoming and safe space where clients feel comfortable expressing their thoughts, feelings, and emotions.

I am dedicated to serving individuals, couples, families, and groups. As an open-minded and multicultural therapist, I value working with clients of diverse cultures, backgrounds, and identities, and am particularly passionate about the effects of intersectionality. I have worked with an array of clientele, including individuals from various ethnic backgrounds, socio-economic statuses, and the LGBTQ+ community. I have experience working with clients going through a wide range of mental health issues, such as traumatic and difficult challenges, as well as depressive, anxiety, and PTSD-related disorders that impact their daily functioning. I am committed to helping clients develop coping skills, enhance motivation, improve relationship dynamics, build support systems, and strengthen communication skills.

As Carl Rogers famously said, “The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.” I look forward to engaging in this process with each client I work with, and it is an honor to support them on their journey to find their direction.
