Taylor Esworthy
Welcome, I’m Taylor Esworthy!
I’m here to support you on your journey toward growth, healing, and connection. Life is difficult, and it’s okay to feel lost. If you’re reading this, chances are something brought you here – maybe a relationship that feels stuck, a life transition that’s left you questioning everything, or simply the weight of navigating this complex world we’re living in.
Here’s what I know to be true: We are wired for connection. Every part of who we are was shaped in relationships with others, and it’s in relationships where our deepest healing happens. In my office, there’s no judgment. No rushing to fix what isn’t broken. Just space to breathe, to be seen fully, and to remember that feeling lost sometimes is part of finding your way.
I work with older teens, adults, families, and couples. Everyone is welcome here – individuals from all communities and backgrounds, people navigating major life transitions, couples at all stages of their journey, and families trying to reconnect. Whether you’re coming in solo or together, we’ll build something real: a space where you feel heard, respected, and free to guide your own healing process.
As a relational therapist, I look at patterns: the ones we repeat in relationships, the cycles we get stuck in, and the ways we connect (or disconnect) with the people who matter most. I’m passionate about helping you understand how these patterns developed and how to shift them in ways that actually work for your life. My goal is to help you feel empowered in your healing, honoring your lived experiences while supporting you in developing the tools and insights that work best for you. Therapy should be a collaborative, affirming space where you feel seen, heard, and valued exactly as you are.
If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you where you are and truly hear your story, I’m here to walk alongside you.

Get back to your roots, get back in your body! Your liberation and healing depends on it.
Hi, my name is Kosta (pronounced like “pasta” with a K) and I am on a mission to bring a right-brained approach to the therapy experience. An approach anchored in sensing, feeling, and symbolizing. Many people who have tried therapy can describe their complex mental health issues, but still find themselves shamefully stuck within the same patterns. As an embodiment-first mental health therapist, I invite my clients to engage their bodies to answer hard complex questions. Your body is a treasure-trove of clear cut answers, waiting for you to be brave enough to both ask and listen. This process leads to greater clarity, self-trust, and real life change, because it’s literally not all coming from your head anymore. You need your nervous system on board if your train is actually gunna leave the station.
So all aboard the change train! I cannot wait to walk with you through the beautiful shitstorm that is healing.

MS, LMFT
With almost a decade of experience as a therapist, I am deeply committed to helping individuals navigate their healing journeys with compassion, expertise, and a feminist-informed approach. My practice is built on the belief that every person deserves to feel heard, valued, and empowered. I integrate evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a deep understanding of social structures, ensuring that my clients receive personalized, affirming care that acknowledges their unique experiences.
Passionate about guiding others toward growth and self-discovery, I specialize in trauma recovery, working with couples in committed relationships, and helping people discover a sense of self. My work is not just about coping—it’s about transformation. I provide a space where clients can break free from societal pressures, challenge limiting beliefs, and reclaim their narratives with confidence and authenticity.
Whether you’re seeking support, healing, or a fresh perspective, I’m here to walk alongside you. Together, we’ll build the tools you need to thrive.

Sarah Wittman
(She/Her/Hers)
MS, S-MFT
Hi! I’m Sarah. I provide inclusive and affirming therapy for teens, adults, and folks in relationships, with a special focus on the LGBTQIA+, non-monogamous, kink/BDSM, service industry, and creative communities. With lived experiences in these communities, I understand how powerful it is to connect with someone who truly gets it, and I believe that shared understanding fosters trust and encourages transformative growth.
My practice is dedicated to individuals who are motivated for change and seek a holistic approach to mental, physical, and relational well-being. I approach therapy with warmth, curiosity, and a trauma-informed lens, creating a safe and collaborative space where you can explore growth in a way that’s culturally competent and client-led. You’ll be empowered to guide your healing and decision-making process as we work together.
Outside of therapy, you’ll find me making music, exploring the city, laughing at puns, and hanging out with my two cats.
