Adria meets their clients where they are at in their healing process, empowering them to navigate or overcome uncomfortable emotions, harmful behaviors, and intrusive thoughts. Adria recognizes that during crisis situations, harmful or self-destructive behaviors can seem necessary for survival. This is why they strive to help their clients implement new resources and coping skills that allow clients to not only survive, but thrive while learning to love themselves entirely. Adria is motivated to provide a space that is free of judgment so that clients can feel safe, validated, and supported in discussing anything and everything.

Do you feel suffocated by others’ expectations, afraid or unsure of how to ask for help, overwhelmed with commitments, unable to take a break, like you’re just trying to survive the day? Maybe you’re fed up with struggling at school/work, getting so easily overwhelmed, and having suicidal thoughts. You might not even remember a time when things didn’t feel this way. One thing is for sure though. You’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to make sense of what’s happening to you and take back control. Most of all, you’re ready to regain balance in your life so you can finally breathe easy again.

Are you a queer identifying person who is struggling with emotion dysregulation? Are you someone who is tired of "managing" day to day? Are you someone who wants to connect more with your body and your true self? As a DBT and EMDR therapist, I specialize in equipping individuals with effective tools to manage emotions, navigate relationships, and overcome trauma. By combining these evidence-based approaches, I create a supportive environment for personal growth. Let's embark on a transformative journey together!

"Beginning therapy can be a very difficult decision for one to make. I am so excited that you have taken the first step in this rewarding journey!" My passion and goals are to assist others to experience healing and wholeness in life through management of the symptoms that cause dysfunction in everyday lives. Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. As an integrated therapist my goal is to help you figure out how to use your own resiliency."

Painful experiences can imprint on our brains and alter our perspective of our strength and ability. Yet our largest impediment to change is often being unseen and not validated for who we are. My work focuses on creating room for clients to live authentically and teaching them to take up space in their own lives without apologizing.

For so many of us, the past several years of pandemic and political unrest have taken a serious toll on our well-being, our mental health, our sense of belonging, and even our faith in humanity itself. In order for us to figure out how to navigate the tension between the world’s brokenness and its wholeness, I believe we first have to learn to navigate that tension within ourselves. As a therapist, I’m privileged to get to journey alongside people who are engaging in that work and to help my clients develop and access whatever tools and strategies will be most effective for them in their unique circumstances.

As a licensed marriage and family therapy associate, I work with individuals, couples, and families navigate various life changes that can occur (whether expected or unexpected). I enjoy working with people of color, fat folks, as well as members of the LGBTQIA+ community to provide a safe and affirming place to discuss all aspects of your identity and how it impacts your daily life. I also trust that you are the expert of your life, and want to help continue cultivating wellness in all that you are.

The decision to pursue counseling can be a tough but courageous step. People choose to seek out therapy for a variety of reasons, whether it is to explore and better understand parts of self or to address specific areas of concerns.

Every person deserves to be seen, heard, and respected. It is my honor to have the opportunity to provide that to my clients every day. I deeply believe we all have the power to unlock our answers to build a more happy, peaceful, and fulfilled life. I consider it a privilege to partner with clients along that journey. I work with children, teens and adults in a compassionate, safe and therapeutic space to discover their needs and goals. As a team, we will work together to achieve these goals in the most effective, efficient and clinically sound way. We got this together!

I specialize in working with teens, adults, and families seeking to improve relationships (with themselves and others), family dynamics, emotional well-being, anger/stress management, parenting, and anxiety/depression. My counseling approach incorporates techniques that emphasize healthy communication, trust-building, and the teaching of effective coping skills.

Seeking therapeutic counseling can be challenging for any number of reasons, from being ready to take the first step on your mental health journey to finding a therapist that's right for you. Wherever you are on your path, I aim to provide a comforting, non-judgmental environment where you feel heard, valued, and comfortable being yourself. Therapy is collaborative work with your goals as the focus. The number of different therapeutic treatments out there may be overwhelming, but I can help you find what works. No matter who you are, I will work with you to reach your next step and grow while you decide what we are working towards.

Prior to private practice, I worked in a variety of community-based jobs including in-home family therapy, crisis response, domestic violence, and adolescents interfacing with the criminal justice system. Now I enjoy working mainly with young adults and adolescents, affirming their life experience and re-imagining what a full life looks like. I'm here for the clients who find themselves operating outside of societal norms and learning how to build their own path. My clinical lens is rooted in harm-reduction, person-in-environment and trauma-informed approaches.

Thank you for taking the first step in mental health self-care; so tell me, how are you? No really, how are you? If the answer is not great, maybe it’s time to open up an honest dialogue about starting therapy. I'm Scarlett; I am the owner and therapist at Grounded Guidance Counseling, PLLC, where I provide outpatient therapy services to individuals and couples. I strive to meet my clients exactly where they are emotionally in a professional but relatable manner, as I desire to break down barriers that could make therapy feel intimidating for anyone involved.

Kate is passionate about working with children, families, neurodivergent individuals, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. They emphasize the importance of the therapeutic relationship and tailor treatment using an eclectic approach to meet their client's needs. Their approach also explores how relationships and environment shape our thoughts and behavior. Kate emphasizes the importance of providing a safe space for individuals to explore who they are and provides unconditional positive regard to clients throughout their emotional wellness journey.

It can be profoundly painful to embody an identity that our culture strives to suppress, whether you’re queer, trans, have a larger body, or otherwise do not fit societal expectations. Too often we are pressured to conform ourselves to narrow and ultimately unattainable standards of who we should be and how we should live. Maybe you feel inadequate, ashamed, alone, or even guilty about the attraction you feel, the body you live in, or questioning your beliefs. You’re looking for a space to unburden yourself, to safely explore beyond what you've been told is acceptable, where you don’t have to make yourself small.

Hello! My name is Andi and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate. If you are a teen or adult in the LGBT community, who may be having a hard time reconciling their idea of their gender identity and presentation, my passion and experience may be a good fit with you. If you identify as neurodiverse, including intellectual and developmental disabilities and conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and/or autism all across the spectrum, I hope you’ll consider reaching out.

I believe it is my job to collaborate with my clients to create a Narrative that feels authentic and attuned their passions, identities, and values. We often get lost in what we feel like we should or can't do, which confines us in little boxes that make it hard for us to feel vibrant and celebrate our uniqueness. I believe that when we explore and deconstruct the social constructions and dominant discourses in our social-cultural location and biases that don't align with our personal experiences or beliefs we have the autonomy and freedom to get in touch with our most core self and better understand how we interact with our world.

I believe that healing that takes place with another person present is sacred. I enjoy working with clients at any stage of the healing process, from just starting their journey to feeling confident in their abilities. We will create a safe, supportive environment for you to explore yourself and become the best possible you through listening, education, and creative counseling techniques that are NOT Freud's psychotherapy. I love it when clients bring in questions, ask for homework, and commit to the process of counseling. At the same time, I have worked successfully with numerous clients who weren't so sure about going on their journey yet. If motivation is lacking, I like to provide a sounding board for clients who want to be inspired and empowered to decide what's right for them. I regularly ask my clients to get their hands dirty so that in the future, you will have the tools and coping skills you need to embrace your life. Much of counseling is a "choose your own ending" adventure novel, and when you are up for those twists, I'll be right beside you so you do not have to walk through the dark alone.
