A Therapy Practice That Feels Like Progress

About Our Team

Who We Are

At Waypoint Psychological Services, we believe that therapy is not your final destination—it’s a pivotal part of your journey. Whether you’re navigating grief, adjusting to a life change, managing anxiety or depression, or seeking deeper self-understanding, our team is here to walk beside you, with purpose and compassion.

Waypoint is a collaborative practice led by seasoned clinicians with extensive experience in trauma, perinatal mental health, EMDR, CBT, and psychodynamic therapy. Our licensed experts are deeply committed to evidence-based care—and just as committed to showing up with humanity and warmth.
As a teaching-focused practice, we also support the next generation of clinicians. Clients can work with post-graduate trainees who are supervised closely by senior therapists, creating a dynamic environment of cutting-edge training, peer consultation, and ongoing growth.

In-Person and Virtual, Grounded in Connection

Our office space is more than just a location—it’s a space for healing, mentorship, and community. We offer both virtual and in-person therapy, with a strong emphasis on in-person care as our team grows. We know that sometimes healing happens best when you can sit across from someone and feel seen.

Diversity, Dignity, and Development

We welcome adults (18+) from all walks of life, honoring each individual’s cultural background, identity, and lived experience. Our team is committed to creating a practice that reflects the diversity of the people we serve and fosters a deep sense of belonging—for clients and clinicians alike.
