Hishara is a licensed Marriage and Family therapist who works with children, adolescents, adults, families and couples from diverse cultures. She uses a holistic, client-centered, cultural-oriented and strength-based perspective in her work. Hishara will also engage in animal assisted therapy with her "official" side-kick Lava, when it is therapeutically appropriate. She treats a wide range of individual and relational issues, meets people where they're at in their journey towards healing and works within their reality to help them recognize and build on their own strengths to face and overcome challenges.

I use both art and talk therapy to treat children, adolescents, adults and families with relational struggles, mood disorders, anxiety, substance abuse, life transitions, grief and more. I am an art therapist, often inviting my clients to drop into their body in order to move further from the busy mind. I believe that growth comes from the commitment to the therapeutic process. In family work I specialize in high-conflict divorce and co-parenting. My focus is on helping parents support their children best in the process of divorce and post divorce reality.

Do you feel that your mindset is holding you back from achieving growth in your personal or professional life? Do you dream of success but feel stuck in your own head about your ability to flourish?

I specialize in helping people find direction, motivation, and skills to manage the stress of juggling their personal and professional lives. I am passionate about helping individuals find freedom from their anxiety, depression, addictions, relational/ family issues and negative self-image.

Summer Sale for Helping Professionals! $40 Virtual and In-Person. Before pursuing a Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy , I worked at a non-profit for three years as a personal care aide and in the case management of individuals with developmental disabilities. The populations I served ranged from 12 to 76-year-olds diagnosed with various developmental disabilities and psychiatric disorders. This experience changed my life and perspective. I left this with the understanding that no behavior or reaction occurs within a vacuum. Strong social support networks, personal agency, and resources are critical to personal growth.

For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to help others. Active listening, being empathetic, and showing compassion for others during tough times has always come naturally to me. I strive to bring these natural strengths, as well as the tools I have learned throughout my time as a student, to give the best possible care to each of my clients/families/couples. I believe that a client should be able to leave each therapy session with a greater understanding and self-awareness of how they can navigate through their lives.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Addictions Counselor, and Registered Nurse. My approach to health and well-being is rooted in the belief that we have within us the capacity to live satisfying, engaged, empowered, joyful, and meaningful lives. I help my clients get to the root of what is holding them back, and transform limiting patterns so they can live a happy, healthy life. My style is compassionate, direct, supportive, and creative.

I practice on behalf of children/adolescents and their families through parent-empowerment strategies. I use cognitive (thought based), behavioral approaches to correct unwanted conduct and/or attitudes in children/adolescents. I have extensive clinical experience in treating oppositional and defiant youth in a community, juvenile justice and hospital setting. I have been trained in intervention strategies for eating disordered teens and adults, from within their family systems. I focus on the individual and relational strenghths already in place to promote change.

Stepping out of your comfort zone can be a difficult experience. In order to grow we must take that leap. My role is to join individuals taking those risks and create a safe place to explore the possibilities. My approach can help people develop new insights into themselves by healing trauma and recognizing their inherent strengths. Using their own strengths people grow confidence to be their true self.

I enjoy working with all people from all walks of life. As a systemic therapist, a focus of mine will be on your family of origin and the events in your life that make you, you. Exploring our past aids in expanding our perspectives and provides new awareness which also helps in building greater connections to ourselves and to our loved ones. From a Humanistic point of view, I also believe that all people hold the key to their own healing. I look forward to working collaboratively together to find your unique path to healing.

Finding a therapist can feel daunting and overwhelming—it's such an important choice! That's why I do my best to create an experience for my clients that is warm, welcoming, authentic, and trusting. Part of why I decided to become a therapist is because of how important I believe our relationships are to our well-being. While relationships can sometimes be sources of immense distress, pain, confusion, and loneliness, I also believe that when they are healthy and safe, they have the ability to soothe, comfort, and generate powerful change.

Therapy works best when personal stories are heard, and individuals and families construct their own meaning. Through a variety of treatment models like CBT, Solution Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and trauma informed models, we work together to identify challenges and to navigate a path that feels healthier. I bring experience working with a broad range of clients from childhood through the lifespan; specializing in helping people navigate transitions like caregiving, relationship changes and family coping and medical complexities that stress family systems.

The moment I realized I wanted to pursue a career as a Marriage and Family Therapist was during my first psychology course in high school. This course sparked my interest in counseling, specifically with couples and families. A core value of mine is how important relationships are with the world, our families, and ourselves. Learning about the developmental stages inspired me to focus on the importance of relationships. Relationships are fundamental to a child's upbringing, not just to children but at all stages of life, starting with childhood, leading to adolescence, and though adulthood.
