Clients I work with are often experiencing feelings of instability, rigidity, and isolation.

There is a longing inside all of us for connection. We strive to be understood, to be accepted for who we are, and to tell our story. Yet so often we may feel disconnected, unworthy, misunderstood or unseen. However, I believe potential exists within each of us to recognize and shift patterns that no longer serve us, to change harmful coping strategies, to connect with our intuition and to envision a path that aligns us with our purpose. You deserve a safe place to talk with a professional who sees beyond a label or a diagnosis and can provide compassion and support as you work toward finding renewed hope, strength and purpose.

I believe that therapy exists for you to have a confidential and non-judgmental space for your inner thoughts with a therapist you can trust. I strive to allow clients to see themselves apart from their diagnosis. In my practice I support treating the whole person on their journey to their truest identity. I aim to work as a partner in sessions using a collaborative approach that is tailored to each client.

No matter what path we take in life, we will be met with suffering and hardship along the way. This is a natural aspect of the human condition. My goal as a Therapist is to assist you with identifying how your suffering manifests (whether it be due to depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, life change etc.) and the variety of ways in which you can cope with the distressing situations in your life.

I began my work with the HIV/AIDS population, the homeless population and those who struggled with drug abuse. Spending many years with these precious people, provided me with insight of how the mind and the heart works. It was the perfect foundation to my understanding human pain and resilience, as I had to work with many diagnosis. I am a Christian psychotherapist but I have a deep understanding of the religions of many of our world's cultures, therefore my "doors are open" to people of all faiths. I am happy to use your personal faith to help you find meaning in your challenges.

I am a limited permit holding mental health counselor and I look to process my clients' thoughts and emotions together in therapy. Coming to therapy is a very courageous step and I want to explore and address different aspects of our lives. It is possible that clients may experience feelings of empowerment sometimes, or feelings of distress and overwhelmingness. I look to provide an open, comfortable, and safe space for all of my clients.
Dr. Alejandra Chavez
PsyD
Having difficulty finding someone who can hold your pain without compromising your comfort? Need some help with your Life purpose? From practicing effective communication, learning strategies to manage feelings of anxiety or depression, or finding a safe place to experiment new parts of who you are--whatever you think can improve, let me help you reach those goals. That said, not many people know exactly what they want or how therapy can facilitate change, and that is okay. A vague understanding that life can be more than "what is," is enough. That acknowledgement got you this far, let us do the rest of the work together.

Therapy takes commitment to yourself, time, radical honesty and willingness to increase flexibility and openness to acceptance. Transparency and building a collaborative environment are essential to one's individual progress. A therapist may act as a mirror and provide a reframe, but the bulk of the magic happens between sessions, when the client is presented with choices and opportunities to make the changes they strike to make.
Martha M Briceno
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
I utilize a psychodynamic and relational approach to therapy, greatly valuing the therapeutic relationship built together as an important place for understanding to begin and healing to occur. I aim to provide a supportive space to build a deeper personal understanding of yourself and exploring how early life experiences and relationships support or bring obstacles to present day life. Together, we can work to rediscover the value in all of the unique parts of yourself, and gain the capacity to experience, feel, and safely regulate difficult emotions, working towards living a more authentic and vibrant life.

My ideal clients are ones who want to work on the issues they are facing.

Please note that I DO NOT take any insurance but do provide super bills for OON benefits.
Liza M. Noble
Counselor, LMHC
Verified
LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE! A phrase we often hear but seldom get to experience fully. And why? Because oftentimes people are going through life SURVIVING instead of truly LIVING. We make choices out of fear instead of love. When we are in SURVIVAL mode, we think only to stabilize ourselves in the moment. We may feel anxious, depressed, angry, or burnout. We may struggle with isolation, substance misuse, relationships, or risky behavior. In LIVING mode we are able to regulate our emotions appropriately, communicate effectively with others, maintain boundaries, practice self care, feel safe in our own body and THRIVE.
Iris L. Johnson, LCSW, PC
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW-R
Verified
I believe that the therapeutic process, although painful at times, is very rewarding and that individuals can heal and have fulfilling lives from engaging in treatment. My ideal client is a person who is willing to consistently attend therapy and trust in the process. I understand that "resistance" is a necessary part of treatment and believe that trust comes when the client and therapist continue to interact with each other. Therapy can be an unique and rewarding experience; please join me on the road to discovering your authentic self.

Seeking mental health services can be a difficult process. The stigma behind mental health does not make it any easier. You may feel reluctant to seek help due to fear or feel shame and self-doubt. I am here to break this stigma with you by providing services filled with compassion, support and understanding. I will encourage you to communicate your emotions in and out of session, while providing you with the tools necessary to display them in healthy ways. You will be challenged and encouraged to implement your new skills outside of the therapeutic space. Change starts with you.
