Nhautrey is the owner of Why’s Words Therapy. Nhautrey works with clients between the ages of 3-70 years old, and has worked with clients from various cultures, ethnicities and backgrounds in the form of individual, family, and group therapy. Are you struggling with anxiety? Fighting to get out of that depressive fog? Maybe you are very clear on what your traumas are, or need guidance in figuring out how your traumas have affected you. Have a kid/teen that is struggling? Maybe you just want to see what therapy is all about. Nhautrey is here to help you piece together those aspects of your life and end the stigma of mental health!

Finding a "good fit" is essential when looking for a therapist. You should feel safe to be your authentic self without feeling judgment. I believe the client/therapist relationship is primary for healing and effective work. Within that relationship, I consider you the expert on your own life. While thoughtfully listening, I will also offer insights, invitations to try something new, and help you in building new skills and finding solutions. People tend to find me warm, accepting, and engaging.

I am passionate about supporting individuals, couples, and families as they navigate life's challenges and transitions. My practice focuses on helping clients develop effective coping strategies to overcome challenges related to anxiety, depression, relationships, and family dynamics. As an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, my primary areas of focus include: distress related to attachment, identity, and adjustment issues, as well as communication difficulties, relationship concerns, healing from traumatic experiences, and family dynamics.

Mental health struggles can make it challenging for anyone to enjoy their life fully. It is my passion to support others in finding healing in whatever way that feels right and useful for them. I believe in creating a trustworthy, non-judgmental space for therapy, in which each client can show up as they are. I have extensive training and experience with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, and I also have a lot of experience (clinical and personal) working with neurodiverse individuals, particularly with ADHD.

Are relationship issues, anxiety and/or depression keeping you up at night? The counselors at ECC will work with you to help you improve the quality of your your life and your relationships. Our dynamic team of counselors seek to understand and resolve the real-life, everyday challenges many of us face.

My work with individuals has focused on people who have a strong desire to live meaningful lives and have a sincere wish to be good partners, parents, and community members. At the same time, they feel distant from their deeper selves and find that their relationships and life are not what they had hoped they would be at this time. They find that they are inwardly blocked from living life more fully. My work with couples, families, children, and adolescents has focused on helping navigate challenging circumstances, stressors, familial and life events.

Sometimes life poses challenges, and we need some extra support to get us through. Are you wanting to make improvements in your relationship? Or maybe with yourself? Are you feeling overwhelmed? Depressed? Stuck? Therapists at SCAW bring a diverse range of academic and clinical training to their work with adults, teens, and children (ages 2+). We provide individual and couples counseling, psychological testing, parent training, PCIT, and play therapy.

Contrary to what movies show you about therapy, I won’t give you unwanted advice or simply nod solemnly the whole session. I bring curiosity, compassion, humor, free expression, and movement to join with my clients and help them explore what healing means to them. I hope to empower clients to access their natural abilities and to gently disrupt the unhealthy patterns we humans often get stuck in using more than traditional “talk therapy” approach. My goal is to facilitate somatic healing, so your whole body begins to feel better as you gain new awareness and get “unstuck” from the patterns you’re ready to release.

I work with individuals ages 18 and up. I see symptoms as a request from the psyche to grow -- whether this manifests as depression, anxiety, or just a feeling that you want more from your life or your relationships. Or you may be experiencing a transition, grief, or loss and need support to navigate this change. Therapy creates a space in which healing and growth can happen. I believe humans have a natural, inherent tendency toward health and self-actualization. We are hard-wired to live good and meaningful lives, but sometimes need support to do so.

I view therapy as an opportunity to recognize the strengths of each person, the uniqueness of each story, and to find ways to use those strengths to create change and growth. I enjoy having the chance to walk alongside people through all types of challenges and triumphs as a willing listener who can provide empathy, a non-judgmental view on current and past experiences, and support to work towards meeting goals.

I believe the that therapy is an opportunity to explore ones inner world, express feelings and concerns, heal from pain and suffering, and learn how to harness a more enriching and fulfilling life. I have worked with people from all backgrounds and walks of life and believe that we all have the possibility to improve our lives. Suffering is part of the shared human experience, but how we deal with our unique circumstances differentiates each one of us.

Hello! Welcome to therapy. I’m Madeleine. If you are seeking therapy, you may be struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, family/relationship issues, or perhaps you just need someone to talk to without fear of being judged. I use a collaborative approach and believe that you are the expert in your own life. We will work together to identify any patterns of behavior that you feel are interfering with your life, discuss the ways your family, environment, and society may be reinforcing these, and develop the skills to alter or cope with these patterns more effectively.

I deeply value my connection with my clients, and I strive to create relationships, and an environment, that are client-centered and free of judgment. I approach our sessions with curiosity; a belief in your worthiness and capacity to flourish; and confidence that you are capable and deserving of healing and change. Together we will explore the experiences you are finding troubling or ways you are trying to understand yourself better.

Life is unpredictable with many ups and downs. No matter how much we want life to move in a linear fashion it often goes unplanned causing us to feel off balance. I believe therapy is a safe place to begin your own personal journey and learning to be present in your life. It allows you to rediscover who you are. Therapy is different for every individual and/or couple. I have an EMDR, existential & integrative approach to helping clients create healthy, fulfilling and rewarding lives. I integrate therapeutic styles depending on the best fit for client and situation.

Finding a therapist can be a daunting task. My hope is to provide a safe and comforting environment where you can just be, without the judgment or criticism. I counsel those who identify as women, those who identify as members of LGBTQIA+ community (many of which are one in the same), and teens ages 13-17. My clients have a wide range of concerns including anxiety, trauma, anger, relationship troubles, depression, sexual identity, cultural identity, and self esteem.
