The Create Space Therapy Team

Our therapists each have their own unique personalities, therapeutic approaches, and specialties. What they all have in common is their strong desire to meet you wherever you’re at in your healing journey and to offer a safe place to land. At Create Space Therapy we offer support for all life stages and transitions, through working with children, teens, and adults individually and through family or couples therapy. We offer mental health therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and PTSD, and life’s most complex issues. Our goal is to help you to reconnect with yourself, experience change, and make more space for joy. Learn more about each therapist’s unique approach below.
