Meet Our Team

Meet our Team.

Find the Right Fit.

Praxis is a team of therapists and coaches helping people navigate the places where life, relationships, identity, and responsibility become difficult or unclear.

Each member of our team brings a different style, set of strengths, and area of focus. Some work primarily with men or fathers. Others with couples, anxiety, trauma, major life transitions, or coaching around purpose and direction.

You do not need to know exactly what kind of help you need before reaching out. Our goal is to help you find the person whose experience and approach best fit the work in front of you.

Why Clients Choose Praxis

Specialized Support. Real Relationship.

We believe the right relationship matters. That’s why we take care in helping each client connect with the therapist or coach best suited for their goals, struggles, and season of life.
