The struggles of life can become overwhelming, but change is possible. Stress, anxiety, and fear are just a few things you may be facing, but you do not have to face any of them alone. Reaching out for help is the first step towards restoration and growth.

Are you struggling with a relationship or relationships in your life, or maybe even struggling with the relationship with yourself? Do you feel disconnected, scared, and unsure of where to begin? Relationships are hard AND they are what make us human. I am passionate about helping my clients, whether they are individuals, families, or romantic partners, improve communication, increase connection, and overcome painful experiences that are preventing them from having and maintaining healthy relationships.

What do you notice happening when life's demands feel too much? Do you begin to feel consumed by a critical voice? Perhaps hopelessness or shame takeover, and you aren't able to focus on what you need. You keep returning to coping strategies that aren't working, and the chaos of life leaves you exhausted. You know that you are ready for something different. I am here to listen and help you understand the "why" within your struggles. Our work will focus on allowing for all sides of you to have a voice, to be understood, and to have the space to grow.

Whether you're struggling to make sense of the past, overwhelmed and unsure of how or where to set boundaries, facing persistent negative self-beliefs, or navigating the many other complexities of life, you are not alone. I want to invite you into a safe and supportive space where whatever you’re struggling with can be witnessed and transformed. I love working with many different populations and have a lot of experience working with women, LGBTQ+ folks, clients living with chronic illness and/or invisible disabilities, and clients with attachment trauma and other early traumas.

I love working with best friends who are trying to get their sexual spark back. Many of my clients have been together for years and actually get along pretty well. They have good communication, they are partnered well and they treat each other with respect. However, they struggle to want to have sex with one another. They love each other and enjoy each other's time, but they struggle to take sexual chances, try new things and have fun in the bedroom. They essentially have "friend zoned" each other. My work is to help give these couples that special nudge to make sex a priority and enjoy sex again as a team.

Seeking space to process trauma and understand your path of healing is a courageous choice. Whether you are new to therapy, or returning to your journey of healing self-discovery — searching for a therapist can be overwhelming. Be proud that you made it this far! I am passionate about processing trauma and working with caregivers, helpers, and those excited to attune to one's own needs. I work with clients seeking to explore a deeper understanding of their attachment, and identities and heal from trauma, abuse, and neglect. My practice welcomes those who identify as neurodivergent, LGBTQIA2+, or consensually non-monogamous.

Counseling can come with many unknowns. Concerns and nervous feelings are normal and welcomed when starting this journey. My goal is to ease some of that worry and to support you as you take this next step. As a counselor, I aim to create a welcoming and accepting environment where you can share and explore who you are, what you've experienced, and what your goals are for the future. I am of the belief that everyone can find healing and growth through the safe, supportive, and exploratory relationship that counseling fosters. I will honor and value all of the parts and identities that you bring with you.

My experience is primarily with children and teenagers, but I have branched out into serving adults as well. I specialize in the treatment of mood and anxiety disorders, especially those interwoven with experiences of trauma or abuse. I am passionate about learning about my clients and enjoy working with honest, authentic, open-minded clients who participate fully in sessions and work along with me to uncover, move through, and heal from the pain they have experienced in their lives. I use my own life experiences to relate to clients and offer them unconditional empathic support and guidance to meet the goals we establish together.

Are you an outsider? Outsiders are those who may think, feel, look, and operate different from mainstream society. They often feel misunderstood and marginalized for their uniqueness. Outsiders feel a deep sense of connection to the natural world and understand that they are not separate but rather part of nature. Finding support and connection as an outsider can be challenging in a world that constantly demands conformity. Outsiders often identify as... ​LGBTQIA+, multicultural, women, child-free, artists, entrepreneurs, non-monogamous, high achievers, travelers, outdoorsy, introverts, mytstics, highly sensitive (HSP) etc.

Are you struggling to prioritize your own needs, but you’re able to take care of everyone else’s? Are you exhausted but unable to rest peacefully? Do you doubt yourself and minimize your accomplishments? Mental health care is different for people of color and LGBTQIA+ individuals. You may face unique hardships, including discrimination, affecting your mental health. Traditional therapy can feel inadequate, but, as a black female therapist, Cherese M. Alcorn, MSW, LCSW, offers a profound understanding and empathetic approach. She aids high-achievers in balancing their mind, body, and spirit so they can lead effectively.

Life is a struggle and it is difficult to find someone down-to-Earth to talk about life's problems with. My name is Eris and I am passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ adolescents and young adults as a safe space for identity exploration and acceptance. You are the expert of your life and know yourself better than anyone. I am here to help guide you toward the next step in life toward becoming your ideal self. I am also available to do Autism Testing (ADOS-2).

In Psychotherapy, it is the relationship between the patient and the therapist that allows for the patient to search for understanding into the nature of their difficulties. It is within the safety, confidentiality and understanding acceptance that the patient is encouraged to reveal intimate parts of themselves that allow the therapist to identify characteristic problems and patterns of behavior. Seemingly unexplainable behavior, thought patterns and symptoms turn out to have identifiable meanings beyond the awareness of the patient. Psychodynamic psychotherapy is aimed at personality changing goals and symptom relieving efforts. The patient is always in control of the therapeutic process.

As an Art Therapist (ATR), I support the mental health needs of my clients through a balance of traditional therapeutic techniques (such as Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavior, Internal Family Systems, and Person-Centered therapies) and the creative, collaborative, and intuitive approach of Art Therapy. I work with clients from childhood through adulthood. Some people may be surprised to hear that you can do Art Therapy via telehealth, but I've found that being able to engage in therapy from the comfort and safety of your own home can be as healing (if not more) than being in person.
