Allison Ancel
Art Therapist, MAAT, ATR
Verified
I am a nationally registered art therapist with over 12 years of experience working with children and adults. I have extensive training in violence intervention/prevention and trauma-informed care. I specialize in working around issues of anxiety, depression, grief and loss, self-esteem and life transitions. I believe that art creates a unique modality for therapeutic interventions and can break down barriers of verbal communication, leading to new ways of healing and self-expression.

Are seeking support through a difficult part of your journey? Would safe, private space be helpful to begin healing your connections? Are you considering developing new habits and changing how you respond to life? Please do reach out and begin a healing conversation.
Eric Michael Katende
Marriage & Family Therapist Associate, AMFT

Reaching out for help is one of the most humbling experiences we can go through in life. In a world that is constantly pushing narratives on us based on race, gender, sexuality and/or dominant cultural beliefs, it is life-affirming to engage preferred narratives that support and empower our own values. In difficult times it is easy to feel misunderstood or lost, longing to reconnect with our own resources. My work aims for those reconnections. My approach is collaborative, working from a place of respectful curiosity. I am not the expert on your lived experience. You are.

** I offer services for individuals and relationships/couples -- in-person and Telehealth** Problems come from a network of experiences. In our work together we will investigate these problems: where they come from, how they are supported, what they are telling you, how you learned they were problems, ways they can be renegotiated, and times when they not present. Nothing is wrong with you, your partner(s), or your teen--you are simply dealing with problems the best way you know how. In this exploration we hope to find fresh perspective and build better relationships. Are you ready?
Elysa Waldholz
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, MFT

I strive to create a non-judgemental, comfortable, calm and nurturing environment. This will allow us to explore together those issues that are most important to you in a safe space while receiving support, guidance, confidentiality and empathic perception. I offer individual, couples, family, and group counseling. When looking for the right therapist, it is important that you choose someone with whom you feel most comfortable. By listening to your needs, I find the model of therapy that will be most productive, and at times accomplish that by taking an eclectic approach.
Sharon R Schwartz

I have been practicing for over 20 years and work effectively with individuals, couples and families who find themselves struggling with issues related to depression, anxiety, life transitions and interpersonal conflicts. Through guided exploration, clients have been able to understand their difficulties more fully, develop more productive coping strategies and live more satisfying, complete lives.

Hey y’all, Dr. Kay Jay here! My clients describe me as a good listener that is warm, empathetic, patient, and encouraging. I’ve also been told that I have a comforting voice and I’m easy to talk to. In order to feel comfortable, one must feel safe and comfortable enough to share. The therapeutic process is unique to each person so my goal is to meet clients where they are and provide them with what they need to support growth and healing through empathy and active listening in a no-judgement zone.

Many of us are struggling to get through the days as we deal with the stress of balancing complicated thoughts and feelings about identity, relationships, and coping with the constant pressures of living in our current situation.

[NOVEMBER UPDATE: Space is available in an online therapy group supporting singles in quarantine.] My work is collaborative, strength-based, and client-centered. Your goals are my goals, and understanding the values and commitments that underlie those goals often drives my curiosity. My aim is help you get space from your problems and the cultural forces that often underpin them, so that what's most important to you - your hopes, dreams, and values, take center stage.
Jana Rae Corpuz
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT
Verified
I believe that everyone has the strength within them to heal, and that all people are capable of change. I help people build strengths and resources to achieve change in their lives. I believe healing is holistic, and I incorporate mind, body and spirit. I use EMDR and talk therapy to identify negative core beliefs that keep people stuck. I am also a reiki and sound healing practitioner. Energy healing can sometimes address what talk therapy may not. It is your choice of what you want your session to be. I encourage mindfulness and grounding techniques when needed, as I believe that creating safety in the body is also essential.
Veronica Davy
Marriage & Family Therapist Associate, MA, AMFT
Verified
Sometimes we encounter problems or life changes that are difficult to face, causing us to feel overwhelmed, unworthy, and isolated. We are often inundated with messages about how we ought to live our lives, dictating the way we are supposed to look, behave, and even feel. Our goals and values can feel out of reach; I aim to bring these forward by offering a supportive, collaborative, and empowering therapeutic environment.
Dana M Harris
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT

Life doesn’t come with an instruction manual. Interpersonal struggles, career obstacles or mental health issues can make us feel confused about who we are, where we fit in and how to move forward. I specialize in helping individual adults and couples navigate difficult feelings, identify and change dysfunctional thoughts and patterns, and overcome challenging situations in order to enjoy a more peaceful mind and a happier life. My approach is open, casual, and collaborative, and I operate a space that is accepting of all and free of judgment. I am LGBTQIA+-friendly, sex-positive, and culturally-sensitive.
