We believe that mind, body, and spirit are interconnected; we will help you take inventory of your mental health, physical health, and emotional health to find what works for you. When working towards a goal, people struggle with balance; they stop drinking, but start binge eating; end a toxic relationship, begin isolation; gain financial independence, lose family time. We offer alternative therapies for those searching for a holistic and eclectic approach to counseling, including creative arts, mindfulness meditation, and logotherapy, the belief that we can find meaning in suffering.

Hi! I'm Kelly. My approach to therapy blends warmth, creativity, curiosity, and humor. In the past, I've worked at hospices and crisis centers; I'm passionate about creating space to hold and navigate the heavy and difficult parts of life. My expertise lies in grief counseling, and I work with all different kinds of loss. I'm currently work in private practice, and I see both individuals and couples. I enjoy working with teens and young adults, queer and trans folx, and neurodivergent clients struggling with depression, anxiety, past trauma, life transitions, and existential dread.

We work with people, not labels. It’s about you, a person. And us, people. It becomes about us working together for your goals, whatever those are-we can help. Are you surprised when you feel something but it “doesn’t make sense”? Do you then “should” & judge yourself? We all waste a helluva lot of time doing this. How often have you tried to think yourself out of a feeling? Right? Doesn't work! Together we can figure out how & why you think, feel & behave the way you do. You can't think your way out of feeling unhappy & dissatisfied. We can help you work through your barriers to a better place.

I specialize working with children and young teens who are looking for guidance in coping strategies, regulation, and developing a positive self concept in order to face everyday stressors with confidence. I believe showing unconditional acceptance and positive regard in a safe and supportive way allows a child to feel confident and empowered to make their own decisions and gives them the pathway to become healthy and confident adults.

We all live in a world that can cause us to feel isolated, disillusioned, and even hopeless at times due to harmful societal constructs, personal relationship issues, life transitions, and countless other challenges. As a therapist it is my goal to meet my clients wherever they are at to facilitate the creation of new narratives in their life which bring them hope, resilience, and empowerment. I believe we all have the ability to deconstruct and reconstruct the stories that shape our lives in a way that brings us clarity and peace.

We believe that therapy can provide you with the means to face the hardest of life's challenges.

Hello! My name is Melissa & I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate, Supervised by Diana Garza-Louis, LPC-S, LMFT-S. In my practice I see children & adolescents, and I believe the most important thing is to establish a trusting relationship with clients. I believe that change can’t happen unless safety & security are established first. My goal for each session is to bring authenticity to the playroom & create a safe space for each child to learn how to trust their own inner wisdom, strength, & gain confidence. Through compassion, humor, and encouragement, I create a supportive environment for a therapeutic healing process.

The most rewarding thing I've been told by a client is, "They Get Me". I say this because my clients have been let down in the past by systems that failed to help or by other therapists who felt that they were beyond change. What I strive to create is an environment where clients feel they are valued, heard, and understood. The clients that tend to do best in my care are often neurodivergent or with diagnosed personality disorders due to how these conditions are chronically misunderstood. If you have tried standard therapies but still struggle to control your emotions, thoughts, or behaviors, I'd like to help.

My philosophy for therapy is that it is a collaborative process of partnering to develop new tools to create change. I believe in creating a strong therapeutic alliance in order to help you feel empowered to try out new strategies to maximize the positive results that you can achieve. I have significant experience providing evidenced-based treatment for anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, social skills deficits, and parent training/coaching. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and parents. I provide psychological assessments for learning disabilities, ADHD, and social/emotional/behavioral concerns.

As a nonbinary trans guy and gender affirmative therapist, I know how scary it is to interact with providers who are poorly informed about issues facing the trans and nonbinary community. Having a clinician who is informed and affirmative can make a huge difference. I specialize in helping individuals navigate their gender journey and provide support to the LGBTQIA+ community. Since we are more than our gender or sexuality, I also work with a variety of other issues such as depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, general life transitions, self esteem, assertiveness and boundary setting, to name a few.

I have a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Six years ago, I began working in substance use disorder treatment centers in various roles. I fell in love with the process of watching people change. I have spent several years working with young adults (male and female) who have suffered from substance use disorders and have helped them reignite their passion for life. I have also helped them find a career path or enroll in higher education. I have also worked as a life development coach, helping individuals develop the skills needed to thrive.

Hi there! I’m Kat and I’m so glad you’re reaching out. Grief, loss, and other significant life changes can feel all-consuming and overwhelming. I'm here to offer a safe space for navigating big emotions and new circumstances. I work closely with you (or your child), helping with emotional regulation, staying grounded in the body, and building resilience. We’ll use play, creativity, mindfulness, movement, storytelling, and talk therapy to feel into the hard parts of grief, loss, trauma, and relationships. I'm here to walk with you, to be an empowering companion, and to bear witness to your resilience and sense of self.

Our emotions, behaviors and relationships can be overwhelming to make sense of. Having the support of an unbiased perspective can help as we grow beyond the things that cause us discomfort. As a systems therapist, I understand the issues brought into the therapy in relation to the school, work, relational, societal and intergenerational systems involved. Yes, that does mean talking about your parents and how the messages you received in your family have shaped you. It also means talking about the ways culture, race, sexuality, work environments and history affect the ways we feel and behave.
