Has life been tough lately? Have you noticed that you are not sleeping and/or isolating? Perhaps you may have noticed that there has been friction and conflict in your family, maybe even with colleagues, friends, or in your intimate relationships. I can help you with that. I have over 8 years of counseling experience working with depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflicts and dealing with unexpected life events. My therapeutic approach is strength- based, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) for individuals, couples and families.

I am a Catholic-Christian therapist who works with clients from various cultural backgrounds and languages (English, Spanish and Portuguese). I work with clients on issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, post-abortion healing, and trauma. For those clients who have a Christian background, I use my faith to integrate different therapies according to my clients' needs. I believe faith in God is one of the most powerful strengths that helps the healing process. However, I respect the values and beliefs that my clients present in therapy.

Life is full of opposition, loss, and uncertainty. However, we are ALL complicated, unique AND RESILIENT beings! Many times feelings of helplessness can prevent us from reaching our full potential. Therapy is a collaborative relationship where two or more individuals work together to bring light to life's questions and unlock strengths we already hold inside... a judgement-free-environment to open up and explore new opportunities while healing and learning from life's challenges. Overcome negative self-beliefs while creating your desired reality... journeys that ultimately lead to a state of wellbeing and overall contentment. AKA Whole Person Happiness!

Even though our culture has developed the attitude that "happiness" should be our default state, life is often hard. We all face difficult transitions, experience scary situations, and often feel at the mercy of forces beyond our control. We easily can have trouble dealing with change as well as emotions like shame, guilt, anxiety, fear, anger, and grief. Faith crises and transitions are especially difficult because religion give us our identity and sense of what it means to be human, our community, our relationship to power and authority, how we can and cannot use our bodies—the very nature of reality.

I am currently accepting clients, also through telehealth, if you are looking for a safe and supportive environment to help work through and manage issues which are causing distress, and which may be interfering with relationships, work or school, and quality of life. With eight years experience, I have specialized training in helping you cope with childhood trauma, PTSD, facing ‘roadblocks’ in your recovery from substance abuse, codependency, and/or if you are suffering from anxiety, depression, relationship issues, shame, or low self-esteem. I work with teens aged 14 to 19, adults, Veterans, and those who identify as LGBTQ.

Deciding to seek help and attend therapy is one of the most important decision you can make for yourself. As humans, we all have times when life can be difficult and overwhelming. We may not have learned the skills to deal with these difficulties in the healthiest way. Therapy is about personal growth. Therapy is about understanding why we behave the way we do, as well as learning news ways to relate to others. Therapy can assist you with learning healthier coping skills, improving your self esteem and self confidence as well as improving your relationships with others.

As your therapist, I will help you recognize the power of your own thoughts and your ability to heal. In my sessions, I provide a spirit of genuineness, warmth, and collaboration. I value your trust in allowing me to slowly unpack your deepest feelings and concerns.

Hi! This is Dr Kamau, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who has the knowledge and skills to provide comprehensive care, including preventive strategies, mental health treatment, psychotherapy and medication management. My goal is to offer holistic care to individuals, families, and communities; I am able to work with children, adolescents, adults, and older persons in a variety of settings, including crisis centers, community mental health clinics, hospitals, Tele-psych services, home visits, and outpatient mental health clinics among others. Give us a call, we will work with you and help you or your loved one all the way.

Hello, and thank you for reading my profile. At the time therapy is sought, people are typically ready for change, healing, balance, awareness, and congruence with the higher Self. In our therapeutic partnership, we will work toward a fresh perspective and insight which lends itself to transcending areas of "stuckness." I am dedicated to being present, matching your needs to a personalized treatment modality, and nurturing my personal growth to be the best therapist I can. I will greet you with and hold a safe space for growth. By showing up, you already made a significant step toward different choices!

The relationship between therapist and client is one of the most important aspects of having a positive and successful experience in therapy, for children and their families. I consider it an honor and a privilege to walk alongside a child or adult as they take that first step to begin their healing. I love working with families and children by creating a gentle, safe, and accepting environment. I am committed to working closely with parents recognizing that they are vital in this healing process. I have extensive training in trauma and attachment wounds in children and adults, but I specialize in children.

I believe in the innate power in us to evolve and resolve. Sometimes when we are faced with challenging situations, our perspectives become hazy and we are unable to connect with our selves. I use eclectic and holistic modes of therapy to help people connect with their inner selves to move on in their lives and reach their full potential. I am trained in DBT, CBT, ACT and am also a Certified EMDR provider. I also completed an externship in Emotionally focussed Therapy for Couples as positive relationships are imperative for our emotional, mental health.

*Telehealth offered during social distancing and accepting new Clients* As a therapist trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) I help to unlock the mystery of what our emotions are trying to tell us, in a logical way. I thrive on working with couples who feel "stuck" in their relationship or are facing infertility, infidelity, betrayal or sexual trauma, life transitions, retirement, fostering, adopting, and the raising of children with disabilities. I believe that success in therapy comes from the creation of a therapeutic alliance between client and therapist.

We all have our own story that needs to be told and we need to "feel" heard without judgment Children just as adults, want to tell their story and feel & know someone is really listening. At BHCS we pride ourselves on meeting the client where they are while providing a safe and comfortable place to begin healing. We all have our rough patches in life and as Murphy's Law would have it, "life" did not come with an instruction book on how to navigate through the rough storms. Children, the same, just less experience and less knowledge; children do not act out for no reason; they just do not know how to express themselves yet.

When I meet new clients, I try to put myself in their shoes in order to gain a better sense of their needs. Therapy can be a seemingly daunting venture, especially when it is the first time reaching out for help. I want my clients to feel comfortable and understood in a safe and non-judgmental environment. Many of us can feel at times as if we are hitting barriers in our relationships, in personal battles, and in the face of difficult life transitions. No one should feel as if their problem is unimportant, insignificant, or hopeless. I strive to demonstrate genuine compassion and empathy to help others begin a journey of healing.

*Accepting Telemedicine and in-home visits.* Are you looking for answers? Are you having any symptoms of depression, anxiety, or difficulties in a relationship? I am a bilingual/español solution-focused therapist with over 19 years of experience. I provide services for couples, individuals and groups. Ages 8 and up.

I am here to provide the best of my ability to teach you skills that can lead to healthy outcomes.

I am here to help you achieve greater health and happiness. Young children feel safe and nurtured, as they learn skills to deal with distress. Older children/teens tend to benefit from art, coping skills and talktherapy. Adults benefit from CBT and psychotherapy techniques, the promote change while being validated. I enjoy working with people who are stuck-either personally or professionally. My clients are dedicated to improving their lives and relationships. My approach is collaborative and interactive. Please email for more information or to make an appointment.

I use the term "mental wellness" to indicate a state of being when a person can feel satisfaction and enjoy life regardless of her or his current situation--when a person is able to use her or his strengths and resources to challenge life situations or circumstances. Through psychotherapy, I support the process of exploration, growth, and change. I draw from multiple theoretical orientations and view mental wellness from a holistic perspective that includes mind, body, and spirit.

My career in social services has given me the rare opportunity and privilege to accompany others throughout much of life’s journey--from the miracle of birth, as an adoption advocate to helping senior populations and their families as a counsellor managing long term care and end of life issues. One of the universal truths that I have learned is that struggle and adversity is an inescapable part of the human experience. Rather than let these challenges destroy you, my role is to help you on your journey to grow and work through the hardships of life and become the healthiest and happiest version of yourself.
