Salatha Helton
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT

Therapy should be viewed as a safe space to explore, discover your truth, and better understand your basic needs. Our greatest gift to ourselves is unlearning the negative patterns we’ve been taught and reestablishing healthier patterns. We can’t change our past experiences or forget them; however, we can learn to make peace through acceptance. As a culturally humble therapist, my goal is to support you on your journey of discovery. I have a specialty and training in working with couples, family relational issues,
autism
spectrum disorders, and trauma-informed care.

Shawna Valverde
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT

Everyone needs and deserves health in all forms. I believe therapy is no different than medical treatment or dental care. People often don't want to pursue therapy because they don't think their discomfort is enough to warrant the expense. Whether the sessions are many or few, therapy can make a big difference in how you feel about yourself and how you relate to others. Emotional health is an investment in your quality of life. I utilize interventions based on individualized needs to help people reach their goals and create a fulfilling life.

Tom Clark Andrews
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Verified
I help first responders overcome symptoms of PTSD, such as anger, anxiety, and depression, so they can live a life connected to themselves and to community. Working as a first responder can be a stressful, painful experience. It can leave people feeling isolated and disconnected from their family, community, and themselves. It can sometimes feel like confronting the source of anxiety and anger is more than you can handle in a profession and a culture that require you to be strong. The fear of it being out of your control can be overwhelming. Yet the freedom, connection, and growth that result from addressing your trauma are life-

Marriage & Family Therapist Associate, MA, AMFT
Verified
As a fat, queer, neurodivergent disruptor of societal norms and systems, I hold a strength-based attachment focused framework that values and celebrates all genders, sexualities, bodies, ethnicities, cultures, abilities, family structures, religions, and socio-economic locations. I see these intersectionalities as a beautiful tapestry of personal empowerments which can become the foundation from which we work collectively to identify, address and dismantle systems of oppression. I believe humans shouldn’t be pathologized in a society designed to keep people sick and stuck.

Efforts to live up to societal demands have left you feeling overwhelmed, depressed, and burned out. You don’t know who you are because you have spent so much of your life just trying to get by. Despite having strong values, you have internalized societal standards and become your biggest critic. Sometimes you feel so different from people around you, you wonder if you will ever fit in or feel understood. Past pain and traumas continue to influence daily life, keeping you stuck in old patterns, fears, and wounds.

I have had the privilege of working with a diverse set of clients with a wide range of backgrounds and needs. I offer a supportive space that counters the normativity within this culture that often is oppressive to people based on their identities. I recognize that what healing journey one person, relationship or family may need may be different than another and help to support you on that journey. In addition to being neurodivergent and transgender myself, I have also supported folks who are neurodivergent, queer and/or plural.
