Finding a therapist can feel like endless swiping on a dating app. Are you seeking help from someone who may look like you? Love like you? I am a queer clinician who enjoys working with other LGBTQ individuals and/or persons of color. Above all, I’m here for anyone that is looking for some type of change. I operate under a person-centered approach. Put simply: my ultimate goal is that you will feel heard and supported unconditionally. I understand that you are on your own unique journey. Much...
In the beginning, clients typically tell me they can't stop thinking about food. They’re finding a large part of their day is dedicated to their next meal. They miss out on time with loved ones because the concern of what they will “be able” to eat is too strong. A lot of my clients find themselves in a dieting spiral. They “do good” for a while, and then they binge later, leading to feelings of shame and guilt. Most have heard confusing things about bodies throughout their lives. After some ha...
Hi! My name is Ashley and I've always had a passion for helping people who are in vulnerable or difficult places. I know how hard it can be to reach out for help, so that's why I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore the issues that are holding you back from being your best self. I use cognitive behavioral therapy in combination with person-centered and trauma-informed approaches to help clients identify, challenge, and replace unhelpful or harmful thinking patte...
Hello, I'm Latoya. I believe that each of us has been created to live life on purpose, with purpose, and with meaning. Wellness means giving attention to ourselves physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. During the most difficult times in our lives, we can find deficits in our wellnessâin any of the above areas. When we are impaired, our overall functioning is also affected. As a counselor, my mission is to work with adults, couples, families, and children during the most difficult...
Many of us face challenges in our everyday life that can interfere with work, family, friendships, and our own experience of happiness and satisfaction. Ups and downs are to be expected, but there are strategies and tools that can assist us in navigating the roller coaster of life in a way that helps us feel in control and prepared to face challenges that may arise, while taking full advantage of and enjoying the peaks and highs that life has to offer. I am here to navigate those ups and downs a...
Finding the right therapist is not a one-size-fits-all process. It is important to find someone who you feel connected with. For that reason, I do not charge for the first session if, for any reason, you decide not to schedule a second session. (Only after a second session will I charge for both the first and second sessions.) My goal is to make this process as stress-free as possible for you. Much of my clinical experience has been focused on helping people resolve symptoms of depression, anxie...

My clients describe me as warm, validating, trustworthy, engaged, a good communicator, collaborative, and focused on my clients’ goals. Many of my clients have feelings of guilt and shame and believe something is wrong with them, or they are the problem. They may develop people pleasing behaviors to maintain harmony or get approval in their relationships. They struggle with self image and turn on themselves through blame and anger. I provide a safe emotional space to help clients ident...
Hello, I'm Lisa. Are you waking up in the middle of the night worrying? Do you think of the worst-case scenario and all of the 'what ifs'?

Life can be hard. I get it. Especially when trying to balance the already difficult challenges of daily life and trying to be successful in higher education at the same time. Anxiety, family conflict, relationship problems, imposter syndrome, and other common problems are understandable concerns with everything today’s college student have to deal with. Adjustment to college by itself can be challenging, be it undergrad or even grad school. I believe I can help… I have a very down-to-earth, n...
Of all the relationships we have in our lives, I believe that the one you have with yourself is the most important and impactful. Therapy allows a person to create an authentic relationship with oneself. Through the therapeutic process, a person is able to find and access their own innate ability to heal and grow within a supportive, compassionate, and empowering environment. My passion for this work comes from seeing my clients evolve to feel happier and healthier in their daily lives. What ...

I help individuals, couples, and families achieve increased peace between themselves and within themselves. My true desire is to help you come to a point where you sens...

Each day we strive to know better and do better. Each day we can reflect on how things went and adapt for the next day. We get to celebrate successes and, with or without success, we get to celebrate growth. Growth can be uncomfortable and yet continuous lifelong growth is necessary to live a life of fulfillment. Sometimes we all need someone with us on our life journey of making meaning of our experiences and finding purpose and reaching goals....
