I believe that every person has an emotional, mental, physical and spiritual life that needs to be supported and nurtured. In a setting that is caring, supportive and ethical, I work to empower individuals, couples and families to manage their own well-being.

Everyone is molded from their experiences, perspectives, and identities which can shaped a sense of reality. Our racial identity, social class, sexuality, and ethnic backgrounds shapes us in developing wisdom/techniques of resiliency to endure distressing moments. These same experiences can become increasingly distressing which can lead us into believing unauthentic beliefs of who we really are. For healing to take place, a requirement of safety/security need to be present in order for authenticity to be formed. Often is the case where strength and growth is developed when faced with the discomforts of the past.

My "ideal" client is between 14 and 99 years old, motivated, able to engage in honest dialogue, and willing to step back and re-evaluate themselves and their lives with fresh eyes, through psychotherapy. They understand that my role is not to “solve” their problems; rather, it is to provide a fresh perspective and to assist them as they seek their own, unique answers that honor their hard-won life experience and inner wisdom. My approach is to encourage authenticity, sharing laughter, tears, frustrations, and gratitude frequently and openly. In over 30 years of clinical experience, there are few issues that I haven't encountered.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist since 2011, I have had the pleasure of providing services to individuals, families, and couples dealing with communication issues, intimacy concerns, family conflict, and marital instability. The goal will be to identify ineffective behaviors to improve the ability to communicate and work towards healthier patterns of living in peace and harmony. I offer solution-based work, often utilizing Gottman's Method, as well as in-depth work from an attachment and cognitive behavioral lens. My goal is to create a safe, open and honest environment where we face life's challenges together.

Even the most well-adjusted of us encounter situations or experiences that require professional support. Sometimes the natural aging process or a personal crisis brings us to a place of seeking guidance. I consider it my unique privilege and honor to be part of my client's journey on their path to encountering their whole self. My therapeutic approach is founded in an existential understanding of the human condition.

You’re probably on this page because you’re looking for change - maybe you’re stressed out, maybe you’re not feeling like yourself, or perhaps there’s a thought or two that you just can’t seem to shake. Fortunately, you’re already moving forward - as they say, action is the only solution to despair! Your challenges are unique but so are your strengths. I want to help you feel empowered, supported, and active as you work towards meaningful and lasting changes. I am fiercely optimistic about how therapy can help those willing to put in the work. Vulnerability and self-reflection can be difficult but the reward is incredible!

Are you struggling with connecting with your partner or child after the birth or adoption of a child? Have you thought you just don't feel like "you" after giving birth? Maybe you've thought, "Something is wrong with me. Maybe I'm not cut out to be a parent...." Did you and your partner experience a traumatic birth? Or a birth that didn't go according to your plan? You might be struggling with the expectation of being a parent vs the reality you're facing and want to make change to make it fit. Let's talk about how we can make change together.

Fabio Azeredo (he/him), has a PhD in Psychology and has been working as a mental health clinician for over 20 years. Having long been licensed in Brazil, he is currently pursuing his license as a Psychologist. Fabio has worked with children, teenagers, and adults to navigate through life transitions and crises. Along with his clinical skills and knowledge, he does so by listening and providing guidance to individuals and engaging families in developing strategies that make sense to them.

I am an experienced, mental health therapist, with specialized skills in trauma informed, and addiction informed psychotherapy. My philosophy of therapy is both collaborative and holistic. I view therapy as a collaboration between my clients and myself. In addition to resolving the client’s specific concerns, I hope to empower my clients with the ability to enrich their overall quality of life. I strongly believe in taking a strengths-based, resilience approach, and highlighting the positives that exist in one’s life.

I specialize in anger management and relationship development. I enjoy teaching clients how to better communicate their needs and how to enhance their ability to listen and hear the needs of others as they are presented. I am a solution focused therapist. I aim to assist clients in gaining the insights and skills necessary to bring their life experience within their relationships to a positive level. I also enjoy working with survivors of abuses such as emotional, physical or sexual.

I am inspired and humbled by the stories of people's lives - and I'm here to help when life gets challenging. If you're in the midst of a life transition or are feeling directionless - we can explore purpose. If life seems too hectic or feels increasingly hopeless - we'll work together to identify the underlying issue and explore solutions. If it feels like you and your teenager are stuck or if the relationship between your spouse/partner is a source of stress - we can work on communication. When you’re feeling overwhelmed and aren't sure how things can change, I can help.

I've had the honor of journeying with hundreds of people over the last 35 years who are facing difficult life transitions. I value people's strengths, experience, knowledge and dreams in THEIR counseling, and I believe deeply that we all can change in profound ways.

I know no one who is "accidentally" in counseling or therapy. Thus, this step and this choice is often quite difficult. I embrace building rapport with my clients in a way that allows us to engage in a collaboration of unique, innovative and effective techniques to overcome the challenges, problems and/or difficulties they are facing, whether in their social, personal, or business life. I take pride in listening to my clients and trying to provide them thoughtful tools they can use long after our sessions are complete.

I offer therapy to individuals, couples and families who want a welcoming, safe place to process what is happening within or among them. From clients, I learn how they see the world, how they understand themselves, what patterns create their interactions, and where they want to go from here. Clients are empowered to determine their goals and create new perspectives on themselves and the world around them. The hope is that, during sessions, clients will gain new skills and thought patterns for the benefit of the relationships that give their lives meaning.

Sometimes we find ourselves struggling, and it seems that no matter how hard we try, we cannot seem to find a way out on our own. It can be difficult to seek help, and I believe that a collaborative, trusting, and empathic therapeutic relationship serves as the foundation for clients to experience meaningful growth and healing. I provide therapy to adults, children, couples, and families. Some of my specialties include working with adults recovering from trauma; facing relationship issues; or suffering from anxiety or depression. I also often work with children struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, or life transitions.

Stressors in our lives often become overwhelming and confusing. They challenge our ability to cope. In collaboration with you, I provide practical guidance, support, and compassion to understand what might be helpful. I will gently and consistently challenge you to effectively change and move towards a meaningful and purposeful life.

Finding your ‘Aha’ moment is something that we can strive for together. I truly believe in the power of self, while also empowering, validating & advocating for you to tell YOUR story! I am sex positive & have experience working with adults, adolescents, couples & families from all walks of life & with a variety of mental health backgrounds; sexuality, depression, anxiety & life transitions, etc. My therapeutic style will feel very conversational & less psychoanalytical. I also propose therapy from a humanistic & solution- focused approach, while also being flexible to adjust my therapy style to best fit your needs.

I work with all ages, individuals, couples and families using experiential therapies (Art, Biofeedback and Qeeg guided Neurofeedback) and more traditional talk therapies (Cognitive Behavioral Methods) so that you can learn more about yourself and others, live well, feel content and achieve what you desire. My clients describe me as having a creative, easy going and gentle style.

As a Marriage and Family Intern, I do not have an "ideal" client at this time. I am excited about working with individuals, couples, and family structures within sessions and assessing a wide array of needs and creating goals alongside them. I have special interest in couples therapy and am extremely passionate about healthy romantic relationships.
