Matthew Laidlaw
Matthew serves as a companion to those who desire to experience healing, growth, and transformation in their pursuit of the full human experience. He works to offer a space of mutual, compassionate, and empathetic listening to the story your life is telling. Matthew believes that the opportunity to work with you is a sacred privilege, and is committed to discovering a shared process in therapy that honors who you are, your background, and your future path. Practicing therapy with Matthew may include focusing on developing tools and practices to help manage emotions and thoughts, support in healing from past experiences, assistance developing healthier behavioral patterns, and/or establishing new values. However, there is not one therapeutic approach that fits all, which is why he works closely with you to identify your own needs and goals. Matthew is experienced primarily in individual work with adolescents and adults from all backgrounds and genders, in areas related to depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, interpersonal conflict, identity exploration, finding belonging, discovering purpose, grief/loss, and religious and spiritual questions [and related trauma]. He is a Certified Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist. Matthew graduated with a Masters in Social Work from Grand Valley State University in 2024. He is also a graduate of Kuyper College [BS], Cornerstone Theological Seminary [MA], and the Living School for Action and Contemplation. His experience living internationally and attending two universities in multi-cultural and inter-religious environments has deeply shaped how he engages individuals from a diversity of circumstances and backgrounds. Matthew’s professional and academic emphasis on restorative justice practices, as well as the unique cognitive, developmental, and mental health needs of people of all ages has deepened his ability to foster effective therapeutic environments and meaningful relationships with clients. Matthew believes that our growth as people cannot be manufactured or controlled, and is therefore something we can only cooperate with and bear witness to. For many, the journey and practice of our work together becomes an outcome in itself. While Matthew is a generalist when it comes to theoretical orientation, he naturally integrates person-centered, narrative, existential, humanist, mindfulness, and acceptance and commitment approaches.
Stephanie Tintner
Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just not feeling like you’re firing on all cylinders? Maybe you're feeling burnt out from life or work. Life throws heavy stuff at us, and sometimes, we need a partner to figure it out. That’s where I come in; I’m just a real person helping other real people. The idea of talking to a therapist can be scary- maybe you’re not ready to share your whole story, and that’s okay. My job is to help you figure out what you want to work on and go from there. I believe therapy is a safe place where we can come up with solutions to some of the challenges you may be experiencing. I take a strengths-based approach and will pepper in some humor as well. I am skilled at helping clients with various challenges, but I consider my expertise to be helping people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, caregivers for others, healthcare workers, people dealing with chronic illness, and people going through life transitions. My goal is to help you feel like the best version of yourself. If you are looking for a real and authentic person who will be your partner in this shitshow we call life, and not just someone asking you "how does that make you feel" and head nodding, then I'm your girl! Setup a free consultation to see if I'm a good fit for your needs.

Therapy with me is about collaboratively exploring your life and who you want to be.

Authenticity Recovery
At Authenticity Recovery, we work with people who are ready to understand their relationship with food, their bodies, and themselves in a deeper way. Our clients often feel stuck in cycles of food rules, restriction, bingeing, emotional eating, body dissatisfaction, or anxiety around food and may be tired of feeling like food and body image take up so much space in their lives. We especially enjoy working with individuals who want more than short-term symptom management. Many of our clients are navigating anxiety, perfectionism, trauma, life transitions, or difficult emotions that can make it challenging to feel comfortable in their bodies or trust themselves around food. Our approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on the whole person, not just eating disorder symptoms. We believe healing is possible without shame, rigid rules, or having to “fix” your body. Whether you’re just beginning to question your relationship with food or have been struggling for years, we’re here to help you build a more peaceful, flexible, and authentic relationship with food, your body, and yourself.

Life has a way of challenging the coping strategies that once served us well. Whether you're navigating a new life stage, the complexities of parenting, a significant loss, or a health challenge, these transitions can leave you feeling unsettled. I specialize in supporting individuals as they adjust to these 'new normals.' Through the therapeutic relationship we build together, I provide a safe and compassionate space to help you navigate even the most difficult times. As your burdens begin to lighten, your resilience grows, making space for renewed joy, purpose, and fulfillment.

Circle 3 Counseling / Jocelyn Stott
I offer virtual (online) sessions only at this time. Some sessions can be made by appointment if openings are not noted on my calendar - just ask! Sometimes the anxiety and depression that come with life changes, trauma, relationship issues or job stress can be distracting and affect our ability to thrive. When people work through their thoughts and feelings, they often report feeling more clarity and a deeper sense of vitality and purpose. You can expect to be gently challenged to explore your experiences in a safe, kind and private space when you work with me. I've helped people find more confident self expression in decision-making and relationships. I've also had people report performing better in sports, school or the arts. Many people find themselves making better, more positive behavioral changes as they feel better emotionally. I use an eclectic mix of theories, often including psychodynamic work, in therapy to include the entire person: mind, body and soul. I try to educate and empower people to use practical tools they learn in therapy in realistic, lifelong ways. It takes courage to be vulnerable and acknowledge you'd like some help along this journey. I know because I've been there myself. Take the first step and I'll meet you there.

Melodie Whitmore
Reaching out for help can feel overwhelming. How do you know which counselor to choose? How do you know if it’s a good fit? What do all those letters after everyone’s names mean? And what will your friends or family think if they know you’re in counseling? There can be a lot of confusion and stigma around mental health, and I’d love to help make the process feel a little less intimidating. I especially enjoy working with college students and young adults navigating a time of enormous change. You may be figuring out who you are, who you love, what you want from your life, or how to manage expectations that seem to be coming from every direction. This is also a time when anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, substance use, and other mental health concerns can become difficult to manage on your own. I have extensive experience supporting people through depression, suicidal thoughts, trauma, anxiety, and periods of crisis. I also work with people concerned about their use of alcohol or other substances. I take a nonjudgmental, harm-reduction approach focused on understanding how you learned to cope, finding strategies that work for you, and building a life that feels more manageable and rewarding. You don’t need to know exactly what’s wrong or what you want from therapy before reaching out. I offer free 15-minute phone consultations so we can talk about what you’re looking for and whether I might be a good fit. Let’s get connected and start figuring out where you want to go from here.
