Therapists Who Care

Many research studies indicate that most important factor in effective psychotherapy is a strong, positive relationship between the therapist and the client. Bearing this in mind, it is critical for you to find a good fit when selecting a therapist.  

Each mental health professional chosen for the Transcendence team was selected due to not only excellent professional skills, but also their extraordinary level of empathy and compassion toward their clients. We truly care about are clients and are personally invested in the relationships we build with you.


DR. STEPHANIE WILLIAMS

Owner,  PhD, Licensed Psychologist

My priority is to treat each person with compassion, respect, and kindness. I strive
to help my clients get to the
root of their challenges using experiential, emotional processing techniques to make lasting changes in their lives
and help them help themselves over a lifetime. 

I believe it is never too late to accomplish your life goals. I
have 20 years of experience helping people with depression, anxiety, bipolar, addictions, chronic illness, HIV/AIDS, grief, death/dying, post-traumatic stress, adjustment to disability, dissociative disorder, and
sexual and gender identity issues (LGBTQ+). 

I have a strong background in helping people recover from dysfunctional families and traumatic childhoods. I enjoy working with adults of all ages, including senior citizens, and
am experienced in working
with first responders - i.e., Police, Fire, EMS, teachers, and military and war veterans.

AMANDA LYBERG

MA, Temporary Limited License Psychologist

I am trained in Humanistic Psychology which uses various modalities to meet you where you are and attend to your specific needs. I believe the therapeutic alliance between client and therapist is a powerful tool that promotes healing, personal growth, and overall wellness. 

My goal is to create an environment in which you feel safe discussing all that you need to: The good things, the bad things, the ugly truth. All topics are welcome here. We'll work together to get you to a better place: mind, body & spirit. I offer flexible hours and online appointments to accommodate busy schedules. I do travel for work occasionally so online appointments can help us stay connected. 

I believe an active and engaging lifestyle is important to overall mental health. I explore this in my own life and encourage my clients to do the same. Finding purpose and passion can be difficult, but I believe finding your way is possible. I look forward to speaking with you!

DR. VICTORIA MARROW

PsyD, Licensed Psychologist

My goal is to create an environment of mutual trust and respect, wherein my clients and I work together to explore their innermost fears, goals, and ultimately what is holding them back from creating the life they want. I thrive working with complex treatment issues, such as personality disorders, addictions, and co-occurring disorders, criminal/legal issues, trauma-related issues, emotional and behavioral dysregulation issues, interpersonal issues, psychotic disorders, bipolar and severe mood disorders. I also have experience with adjustment disorders, grieving, ADHD, sexual disorders, gender dysphoria, issues related to culture/race/ethnicity, parenting, and chronic pain.

JAY HALL

MA, Limited License Psychologist

Throughout my experiences of providing therapy, I have worked with conditions including but not limited to anxiety, grief/loss, depression, life adjustments, anger issues, trauma, and LGBTQIA matters. I work with adolescents and adults of all backgrounds. Utilizing my background in existential-humanistic psychology, I provide an insightful and individualized therapeutic experience. The impacts of emotional and mental difficulties can be challenging to individuals, but it is always possible to gain new perspectives that help to heal us from our hardships.

“We can help a person to be themselves by our own willingness to steep ourselves temporarily in their world, in their private feelings and experiences. By our affirmation of the person as they are, we give them support and strength to take the next step in their own growth.”

ALEXANDRIA TORRES

MA, Limited License Psychologist

I work as a team with clients and families to bring about meaningful change. I believe the best therapy occurs when there is a good match between a therapist and a client/family. A good match includes feeling comfortable, safe (physically and emotionally), accepted, and understood. I value maintaining people's privacy in and out of session. I am happy to provide a free initial consultation over the phone to see if my services could be of help.
