Our Therapists
Lena Axelsson
Lena is a somatically informed Relational Psychotherapist who specializes in the treatment of trauma. What does this mean? Many people in our culture have suffered some form of trauma in childhood or their adult life – illness, physical harm, emotional neglect, or verbal abuse – but essentially trauma is anything that causes a person to feel worthless helpless, insecure, or even endangered. This type of deep experience impacts the whole being and dictates the way we function in our lives.
Rebecca Roth
Rebecca has been working in the mental health field for over 25 years, counseling individuals, families, and groups in a variety of settings, which has allowed her to work with a highly diverse population of people. Gaining knowledge and experience in working with diversity, and being able to offer services equitably, are core values of hers – which of course involves ongoing examination and acknowledgment of her limitations.
Inga Knudson
Inga received her graduate degree from the USF in Counseling Psychology and her bachelor’s degree from the UCSC in Feminist Studies. Both universities emphasize a systems-thinking approach which has traveled with Inga into her psychotherapy practice. Systems thinking paints a fuller picture of how we navigate the world within and around us. In psychology this is known as a bio-psycho-spiritual-social approach to therapy, this means we explore what it means to be you from multiple lenses.
Annette Barnett
Annette is grateful for the opportunity to guide her clients through life transitions, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, painful relationships and other life challenges. These are all common & natural human experiences that can benefit from the support of a skilled therapist. She has a particular affinity for helping people create healthy, safe and secure relationships.
Amy Ferrasci
Amy is passionate about helping clients build healthy and positive personal relationships and providing them with tools to solve their own problems and create a fulfilling life. She is committed to providing a safe, non-judgmental, and empathetic environment for her clients to explore their experiences and work towards greater well-being.
Blythe Thomas
Blythe is excited to be part of the outstanding team at Saratoga Therapy. She believes that trust, safety, and curiosity are the three most helpful ingredients in an effective relationship between the client and the therapist, and she enjoys nurturing these three elements in her work. Whether her clients struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, or any other life challenge, she partners with them in a collaborative way.

Maggie firmly believes that the heart of counseling work rests in a therapist's ability to listen and to nurture a trusting relationship. Her style is characterized by warmth, compassion, and genuine connection. As an immigrant, Maggie's multicultural background fosters an openness to diverse perspectives.
