As a sensitive and deeply feeling person, you struggle to navigate big feelings, sensory stimulation, and a strong emotional response to the state of the world today. You are impacted by the world around you, and are privy to the pain of others who suffer. The weight of a hurting world lives inside you, along with all that you sometimes struggle to feel. You are sensitive, spiritually inclined, and committed to personal and collective transformation. You are seeking a space of support and accountability, where you can develop the capacity and mindset to grow, expand, and open, through those times when things feel “too much.”

Learn how to feel more connected to yourself, others and the world around you. Therapy provides all the elements of intimacy: honest communication, vulnerability and trust. Good therapy is challenging yet warm, providing both structure and empathy for your unique experience. We are a collective of therapists with a wide range of specialties. Our intake professionals will help connect you with the right therapist for your needs. We make appointments easy, offering evenings and weekends and flexibility for creative professionals who can't make the same time each week.

While therapy can be challenging to face, I try to make the process as easy as possible, hopefully even enjoyable. I enjoy working with adult individuals who are curious about themselves, introspective/reflective, and interested in personal growth and identity development. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 20 years of experience working with individuals who cope with Dissociative Disorders including DID, and also PTSD/CPTSD. My training has been heavily focused on helping people heal from painful experiences while simultaneously deeply learning about themselves.

Hello, I'm Taneesha! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who is passionate about assisting people while on their journey toward healing and growth in the face of the challenges they may be currently experiencing and/or past traumas that may be causing distress. I have experience with ages 18-97 and have worked with clients with many different experiences and diagnoses including Anxiety, Depression, PTSD/Trauma, Substance Abuse, Bipolar Disorder, Suicidal Ideation, and more.

Are you feeling stuck in your marriage, family relationships, or personal growth? Even the strongest among us can feel lost, unsure, ambivalent, or unhappy at times. I can help you understand and manage whatever life throws at you, and how to do it successfully. I believe you have the strength not to just survive, but to truly THRIVE.

Hi, my name is Jeremy Sinkinson, and I am an LMFT 93476. I work with parents, children, and individuals in a family context. I work with parents, children, and individuals. Parent-child interactions are my bread and butter. I use telehealth so I am primarily talk based, but I do offer coaching, experiential exercises, and homework. I would like to build a foundation for you to have a mental health routine that works for you. I am supportive and work to help clients feel that their voice is heard in the session. I make sure I understand how you feel and know what you want.

I bring a compassionate and mindfulness-based approach to support clients in creating a new experience of themselves whether they are navigating life transitions or struggling with anxiety, depression, stress or loss. I view healing from a holistic perspective and draw on a variety of practices and orientations to meet my clients where they are. This includes evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as Dialectal Behavior Therapy. I also enjoy bringing in playful and experiential practices to help shift clients out of their head and into more present ways of connecting with their authentic selves.

Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed? Do you long for a greater sense of well-being and fulfillment in life? When our needs are unmet or injured, it can result in distorted thinking and ineffective behaviors. We may feel unable to move past anxiety, depression, grief, fear, despair, anger, or trauma, and move into self-protection, isolation, or avoidance in order to cope. By creating a nurturing, nonjudgmental environment where it's safe to express feelings and emotions, I believe that we will identify root issues and move beyond coping to restoration.

Welcome to Awakened Hope Counseling! Are you the type of person who seems to have it all together on the outside, yet struggles with the relentless weight of anxiety and depression within? If you're a high-achieving perfectionist, familiar with the endless pursuit of success while grappling with internal feelings of inadequacy and self-esteem challenges, you're not alone. Therapy can be a safe space where the facade can fade, revealing the raw, authentic self that's been yearning for understanding and acceptance. This space can help you find the life you want, discover your true strengths, and build up the resilience you deserve!

I believe if we can transform the couple’s relationships, we are not only helping them, but also helping them and their families for generations to come. Also, most of people’s toughest struggles are related to their relational issues so, as the relationship improves, the person's individual problems seem less challenging.

Are you depressed, anxious, and not sure where your life is going? Others have been there too, especially since Covid 19 changed pretty much everything. I have worked with a varied clientele to help cope with issues and find the right path for them. Working as a team, clients and I have worked through the issues that brought them to therapy and help set attainable goals. I have 18 years of experience serving youth and adults both as a mental health clinician and as a behaviorist. Therapeutic modes used include DBT, CBT, Behaviorism, Bowenian among others.

I like to offer you a safe and compassionate space to explore your relationship with yourself and the significant people in your life. Together we can support you to develop clarity on what you want/need and how to express/communicate them to your family, friends and coworkers. Through psycho education and examination of how your past experiences/attachments have shaped your behavior and the lens from which you see the world, you can make the changes you hope for and heal from past traumas. I have faith in your wisdom to develop a healthy relationship with yourself and others.

Traumatic experiences, relationship attachment woundings and the general pressure to conform to social norms during our younger years can cause us to create some truly magnificent coping strategies. Unfortunately, these strategies can be integrated into our identity long after they've stopped serving their purpose. I am passionate about supporting people reconnect with their true nature, by exploring parts work and somatic experiencing. Our past does not define us, and this work makes it possible to access the inspired, motivated, wisdom that exists in abundance underneath our conditioning.

I enjoy working with couples, families and individuals. Couples and families often struggle to see eye-to-eye on critical issues. I can help reduce conflict and blow-ups by restoring affection and admiration and teaching tools to help turn adversaries into allies. I have experience helping individuals going through significant life changes that may force them to think hard about who they are and what they want. These changes could involve leaving home, divorce, marriage, having a baby, starting a new job, quitting a job, finding a life partner, exploring sexuality or gender identity, etc.

Ease, change and joy are accessible. I know you can emerge from distress. I have seen radical growth-- again and again. My therapeutic approach is designed for each person's individual internal world. I design each session using a variety of active and engaged interventions, like EMDR, IFS, and expressive arts. We work to uncover the hurt parts that have taken over your life. The “stuck-ness” seems to dissipate. In an atmosphere of love and total acceptance, I use proven interventions to bring awareness and internal movement.
