One of my primary career objectives is help people helping themselves. I see Psychotherapy as a powerful tool for self-assistance and personal growth. My primary mission as psychotherapist is to encourage and assist people in finding ways to solve their emotional problems and develop more effective coping skills to deal with their issues. Through therapy people may find help to improve self-esteem, obtain self-confidence that promote a better quality life. Additionally, people may work on interpersonal relationship issues, fears, emotional conflicts, and traumas.

Are you worried that if your relationship doesn’t improve soon it may end? Does it feel like no matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to be happy? Are you struggling with constant worry? Have you tried to solve the problems in your life on your own and realized you need help from someone else? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you have made the right choice by being here. And I know this is hard. You’ve likely been debating seeking help for months, if not years. But I’m so glad you found me and have taken the courageous step of being here.

We can, together, begin the journey of getting you un-stuck by using a respectful approach of unconditional positive regard and life coaching methods.

Sometimes it is hard to know which way to go. You can get caught up in the same routine daily as you balance school, work, friends, family, and relationships. You may often attempt to escape your emotions that build up while managing heavy caseloads and expectations. You may scroll through social media platforms, watch people get engaged or married, have children, and travel world-leading "dream" jobs. You may think to yourself – when will it be my turn? Here’s the truth: you aren’t some other person. You are you, and you deserve to live the best life possible.

Have the past couple of years of isolation and overstimulation taken a toll on your mental health?  Are you looking to find a way to your authentic and most-healed self?  Well, congratulations on taking the first step to living your best life! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 15 years of experience and my passion is to help people overcome obstacles by providing them with the tools and resources to cope with life transitions. Each person is unique and can have varied responses to different therapeutic practices, so I am here to provide individualized treatment to address your specific needs.

Hello, my name is Dr. Colleen Casady. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in CA. I graduated from USC with my Doctorate in Social Work. I have been working as a Social Worker for more than 25 years. The majority of my experience has been helping people who struggle with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, abandonment and loneliness, grief / loss, and the challenges. I too have come from a difficult family dynamic and have struggled with mental health issues. I believe there is a lot to gain from living through issues and coming out ahead. You are not alone in your circumstance. I can help.

Are you sad, anxious or do you feel alone? Perhaps you realize that emotional pain doesn’t just “go away”. It stings and lingers as you attempt to reconcile that some of your relationships were toxic. You may have concluded that you have an overall pattern of interpersonal conduct that yields poor results at home, school or work. You find yourself in poor relationships, feeling isolated and can’t seem to stop the cycle. Although you are working hard, you are plagued with self doubt and crippled by fears. You may avoid to feel safe. You want to improve your outcomes but you end up with resentments as you attempt to relate to others.

Are you ready for change but not sure how to get there? Has COVID-19, social injustice, or life events caused you to rethink your current circumstances? Are you experiencing challenges in managing your multiple roles, in your personal relationships, at school, at work, or in your community? Do you want things to be different but you are not sure where to start? Call me. I am a licensed clinical psychologist who provides ADHD, gifted and learning disability testing and specializes in providing therapy to Black women. I approach treatment from a holistic perspective, recognizing the importance of engaging the mind, body and spirit.

There comes a time in everyone’s life when they really need someone safe to talk to. They need someone who will not use their pain against them. So often they end up holding that pain inside, masking it with a smile or adherent behavior. I can provide a safe place for you to empty your pain and take off the mask so that your quality of life can improve.

When life hits, everyone needs someone safe to talk to. A space where they can speak freely, be themselves (flaws and all), and share their pain, without their pain being used against them. There are so many good people, who carry the world on their shoulders, struggling to manage multiple roles to help everyone else on a daily basis. But who helps them when they are feeling burned out and their cup is empty? Are you experiencing challenges in your personal relationships or at work? Or maybe it's none of the above and you just feel like something is missing or need help discovering your purpose?

Do you struggle to make lifestyle changes like to overcome feeling stuck, effective communication, sticking with a meal or workout plan, or cancelling generational issues (i.e. generating and maintaining a budget, healthier co-parenting, or even eliminating toxic relationships)? Have you noticed that your motivation ebbs and flows? Do you value collaboration and accountability, but you haven't matched with the right practitioner to meet your needs? Are you ready to show up for yourself to enhance your lifestyle in such a way that your commitment to the process will impact you and your family?

I hold the belief that we grow and change through relationships and because of that my style is relational, trauma informed, collaborative and social justice centered. It is not my job or purpose to help create tools for capitalism. I believe there are no predetermined paths or timelines for healing, and that the best way to get where you want is to focus on what keeps you safe, allows you time to rest and helps you create the community you want and need to thrive.

I’m Paul Allen - you can call me JR - and I can help. I provide online therapy to clients from CA, NH and NJ. Are you ready to see changes in your life? Relationship? Interested in ways to support individuals within your life? Are you nervous about what changes looks like? Do you struggle with generic “advice” because your situation is so unique that what works for some people doesn’t seem to work for you?
