Hello. I love working with motivated clients who want to improve communication skills, want to make lasting changes, and find ways to improve their quality of life. Is that you? I consider it an honor and privilege to be let into the lives of my clients and try to have fun and bring a fresh interactive style to my therapy that I find many clients appreciate. I challenge my clients to learn to trust themselves and find balance in their relationships with others and in their careers.

Do you ever feel like you need to be heard, really heard? Like you have felt voiceless or powerless, and you'd really enjoy feeling strong and empowered again, or maybe for the first time? I enjoy providing one-on-one therapy with adults who want to enact changes in their lives. I also love working with couples. I offer psychotherapy in a supportive, non-judgmental style. Words that have been used to describe my style and my setting: warm, personal, insightful, thought-provoking, relaxed. If you feel like you need a therapist who is easy to talk with, but can also help you really think through issues, I might be the right fit.

When we can give our feelings the attention they ask for, they tend to guide us in useful directions. I offer therapy as a reliable space where you can slow down, really meet your inner world and learn to relate to what you discover there. Just as our feelings have meaning, our symptoms tell a story. They can become afflictions when we don’t understand what kind of acceptance, or change, they’re asking of us. I’ve found it’s through nurturing our inner life that we have a chance to recover and revive what feels dead, lost, or unworthy, to find things of great value in ourselves and others, and even meet something that transcends us.

Emotional distress can lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, hopelessness and isolation. Stress resulting from uncertainty can greatly impact our ability to engage in relationships, to make healthy choices and our self esteem . Learning to cope adaptively can make life more manageable, especially during stressful life events.

I can make a difference in your child's success in special education, IEPs, learning differences, navigating for parents who's children may need extra help in school, or having a negative effect on a young child who has lost their self esteem and has a failure mentality and turn it into a child believing and feeling like they can succeed and has pride with knowing they can achieve success. Academic help is every child's right through a federal law that is already in place. Many parents do not know how to access these programs. These techniques or resources are tailored specifically for your child.

My clinical approach to working with teen and adult clients is to provide a safe as well as non-judgemental place to process difficult emotions and situations that may be hindering a healthy and balanced life.

This enables change, positivity, and renewed energy in your life.

I work with children ranging in age from kindergarten through middle school, as well as parents and caregivers. I can help children who are facing challenges around anxiety, life transitions, losses, self-esteem, and relationships with peers and/or family members. I know that children are most effectively treated when their parents are engaged in the treatment process. The degree to which parents are included depends on each child’s needs. I am also happy to provide parent consultation as the primary intervention if a parent is interested in trying that approach instead of individual child therapy.

Hi there, I'm Alexis, a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 20 years of experience. I help individuals with anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, self esteem , relationship issues, adolescent/teen issues, and more. In my practice, I use motivational interviewing, a goal-directed technique that allows my client to explore and discover the possibility of changes within one’s self. I use a combination of Cognitive-Behavioral, Solution-Focused, Narrative, Family systems, Existential, Psychodynamic, Acceptance, and Commitment therapy. By focusing on the positives, my clients can start to see the progress they are making.

My name is Richard Lenchner, LMFT and I have been a practicing therapist for approximately 31 years. I believe that everyone deserves a happy and healthy life. This can be achieved when you learn how to balance your life emotionally, spiritually, physically and mentally (ESPM). I specialize in helping individuals deal with addiction/recovery, grief/loss, depression, anxiety, codependency, motivation, self-esteem/worth and finding their balance. Together we can work on helping you achieve confidence, happiness and a fulfilling life.

Over the course of life, people develop coping skills to deal with all kinds of emotional challenges. However, sometimes, individuals encounter situations for which they have no preparation or find the usually adequate coping skills are overwhelmed by the enormity of particular problem/problems. There may be patterns or behaviors that one feels stuck in or fated to repeat over-and-over. (Do you feel "stuck" but you cannot figure out how to release yourself?) In those instances a solution focused, warm, steady, and skillful therapist can assist individuals to understand the root causes of those distressing patterns.

Experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma can be hard to navigate on one’s own. Through the use of integrative modalities, my goal is to help you find your way so that you can manage symptoms, feel your best, discover who you truly are, and move forward in the direction of your dreams whereby your past no longer holds you back. Using warmth and compassion, I also aim to provide trauma-informed care to discuss your struggles without judgment and safely process unresolved trauma and feelings.

Navigating life's challenges is never easy, but reaching out for help is a brave first step to living a more genuine and fulfilling life. I have expertise in working with individuals struggling with childhood trauma and trauma-related symptoms such as grief, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relational conflict. I believe every client is unique and deserves to be listened to and understood in an empathetic way. I am passionate about creating a safe, kind, collaborative and judgment-free space where clients can attain new insights, experience new feelings, and find a renewed sense of physical and mental well-being.

We all need support from time to time. My goal is to guide you in learning and practicing healthy coping skills to manage life challenges, gain insight from past experiences, to feel successful in your relationships and life, and develop a deeper understanding and connection in the relationships that mean the most to you.

I am accepting new clients. Are you struggling with life transitions, facing anxiety or are haunted by past traumas? Would you like to gain skills to manage your anxiety, be more present, change behaviors that are not benefitting you?
