Welcome to your journey to self-compassion, growth and empowerment. Thank you for vising my profile. As a bilingual psychotherapist, I have worked with adults, adolescents, children and families striving to improve their lives and learn necessary skills to manage their difficulties around issues of depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, grief and loss and parenting. I am trained in various therapeutic models but often I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. We'll explore at beginning what brought you to therapy and decide after assessment the most appropriate ways that may help you reach your therapeutic goals.

I love working with couples and individuals with difficulty in romantic relationships (i.e. sexual issues, communication, infidelity, divorce), adults who come from dysfunctional childhoods, as well as those with anxiety, impulsivity, and addiction. I also enjoy working with those in non-traditional romantic relationships (i.e. ethically non-monogamous, polyamorous). I am LGBTQIA- affirming and sex positive. I work best with clients who are engaged, thoughtful, and motivated for change. My style is empathic and direct, with a sense of humor. I believe strongly in the therapeutic alliance and the client/therapist fit.

Dr. Parkhurst's practice frequently centers on self esteem and identity development issues, especially, but not necessarily, as they relate to sexual orientation. Depression, anxiety, obsessiveness, relationship problems, and intimacy issues characterize the types of concerns with which he is often presented by clients. His competencies include couples counseling, parenting and child development issues, and academic concerns as counseling issues. He also has considerable experience in learning and cognition, and in career development from his years of counseling and training within the educational system.

Are you feeling stressed out or overwhelmed? I can work with you to explore emotional, behavioral, and relational problems. I specialize in the areas of depression, anxiety, and relationships.

I understand that reaching out for therapy is often a challenge and that it may be difficult to choose a therapist with whom you feel comfortable. I have been providing therapy for 26 years and have built a practice predicated upon expertise, trust, collaboration, and confidentiality. I specialize in providing support and successful techniques to help you manage stressors and symptoms associated with depression, anxiety, behavioral problems, relationship stress, and addiction. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and couples, and I am comfortable providing therapy in your home, if you are unable to come to the office.

At times, we struggle through life’s challenges, perhaps feeling stuck or unsure of the path forward. Maybe you’re going through a stressful transition, burdened by emotional pain, or just have an inkling that life isn’t going “right.” Psychotherapy can help you navigate life’s difficulties and cope more effectively. My focus is to understand your concerns, help you consider underlying causes, work on making better choices and increase your sense of control over unwanted behaviors and thoughts. Regardless of the intensity, severity, and frequency of your concerns, nothing is too small or too big to benefit from psychotherapy.

Thank you for considering my assistance during this time in your life. I have experience with children and adults, in school, correctional and community settings providing behavior support services, intensive in-home services, crisis support, couples therapy and parenting education. In my years of experience, I have become a person-centered, culturally competent, ethically sound therapist who uses a realistic approach to empower my clients and help them be intentional with how they are showing up for themselves and in their lives

Accepting New Clients! I work with individuals experiencing life changes big and small. A hard loss, new baby, scary diagnosis, or big move can all be sources of stress and can bring up lots of emotions. I specialize in helping you find and re-find your identity after change. My practice is a safe place to talk about and work on the hardest parts of change and stress. I work with new parents, new grads, medical staff, caregivers of all kinds, and anyone feeling overwhelmed with life right now. Reaching out is the hardest part, you have made it this far and I am excited to walk with you the rest of the way.

Hello and welcome. Burdened by thoughts and emotions, having difficulty focusing or completing tasks, feeling overwhelmed, anxious or hopeless; therapy can help. The journey to improved mental health and inner peace should not be taken alone. Through therapy, I seek to assist in identifying the root of distress and develop improved methods of coping to enhance the overall quality of life of my clients. Whether it's Depression, Anxiety, ADHD or daily life stressors i.e relationships, parenting or work environment, I can help.

I am a telehealth convert. Prior to 2020, I could never have imagined that connecting with a therapist online would be so effective. But as a working parent myself, I have personally come to not only value, but depend on the flexibility and accessibility that telehealth provides for my clients. I utilize a variety of therapy modalities with a solutions-focussed core in order to meet the needs of my clients. My style is relational and client-centered. I come from a strengths-based perspective and rely on the principles of third wave cognitive behavioral therapy and understanding the impact of our early family systems.

Are you someone who avoids social situations, seeks out reassurance from others, or describes yourself as a people pleaser or perfectionist? If so, you might be struggling with anxiety. Anxiety shows up in a variety of different ways. These challenges often arise during major life transitions or may be associated with relationship, school, or work-related concerns. I have a special interest in working with teens as well as adults in their 20s and early 30s who experience anxiety and stress. I'm here to help you gain the tools you need to feel relief and to approach your life in a more authentic way.

My work begins with a very person-centered approach, recognizing my role as one to listen and empower a client as they create the life they want to live. I often incorporate techniques from solution-focused, narrative, cognitive behavioral, and dialectical behavioral approaches. After 10 years in the fitness/wellness industry, I’ve worked with those struggling with unhealthy relationships with food and their bodies. Working with these clients often utilizes elements of mindfulness and self-compassion toward a life of more self-love.

As your therapist, I genuinely care about you and your well-being. I work with clients 16 and up and see a wide range of presenting issues. My top three specialties are mood disorders, adults with narcissistic loved ones, and spiritual/religious abuse. I use cognitive-behavioral approaches to help you heal and move forward toward your goals.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, biploar disorder, or have experienced trauma? Have you self-medicated in an attempt to manage your emotions? You can expect supportive, practical help in overcoming trauma, the treatment of mood disorders, and recovery from substance abuse and behavioral addictions. Therapy will be tailored to your needs, using the tools that work best for you, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Restructuring (a core technique from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and learning stress reduction skills. In therapy, you can build lasting alternatives to unhealthy family dynamics.

I take an individualized approach to therapy that’s tailored to your personal needs and goals. Within a warm and supportive environment, we examine the challenges you’re facing and the way forward. Using concrete skills and strategies, we'll work collaboratively to equip you with versatile tools to apply in your daily life.
