At all stages of our lives, we are met with opportunities to build our sense of self and draw on our innate resiliency towards healing.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, strengths based, and client-centered, so we will explore your unique strengths and vision for yourself and use that as our guide.

Bethany Foelber
Counselor, MA, LMHCA
Verified
I believe that much of our current suffering hold roots in our past, and can be difficult to approach alone. My therapeutic approach is relational psychodynamic, and my technique integrates narrative, somatic, attachment and trauma forward modalities. Together, we will pay attention to your narratives, and how relationships and systems have shaped, harmed and healed you. My hope for therapy is not only the reduction of painful symptoms in your life, but a growing capacity for authenticity, creativity, and trust in yourself, leading to a life more deeply connected—to yourself, to others, and to your experience in the world.
Brian Garrison
Counselor, MA, LMHCA
Verified
Behind so much of how we think, what we long for, and how we relate to ourselves and others lies unacknowledged shame, trauma, and the strategies we developed, sometimes very early on, to cope with and hide these realities from ourselves. These make up the “muscle memory” of our emotional worlds, which cannot always be easily recalled, but determine our lives nonetheless. Therapy aims to cultivate awareness of what lies underneath in disconnected, dissociated ways, and provides a space to move through the pain, accept, and integrate the past so that it no longer repeats itself in our lives.

Life is difficult and navigating your way through the world can be a lonely, painful experience. It leaves scars and memories that can turn the person in the mirror into a complete stranger. Depression, anxiety, pain, confusion and regret seem to keep pulling you down into an endless cycle. Discovering how to face your world, your circumstances, and more importantly, yourself, takes more than just will power. It can't be done alone, but it can be done.
Melina Joy Di Stefano
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LSWAIC
Verified
Are you struggling to feel connected - to yourself, to your values, to others? Having a hard time letting go of old stories? I believe there are powerful forces that disconnect us from our truth - the forces of trauma, oppression, diet-culture, even our old ways of survival. In our work together we will center reconnection - to yourself, to your body and the wisdom contained within. I believe our relationships are strengthened when we commit to building trust in ourselves. We'll work together to identify patterns, your strengths and values and explore the impacts of culture, identity and family of origin.

Sergio Flores
Psychologist, PsyD, MS
Verified
I am a clinical psychologist dedicated to providing collaborative, empathetic, client-centered care. I strive to create a supportive, non-judgmental, compassionate space for exploration and here-and-now processing to improve one’s quality of life. While historically the field of psychology has embraced a disease model that emphasizes pathology and deficits, I emphasize a “strength-based” approach. In addition to symptom reduction, I am equally invested in building resilience, identifying and promoting strengths, and improving psychological well-being and values-congruent living.
