I am a highly trained licensed clinical social worker with 15+ years of psychotherapeutic experience. Mine is a tailored, eclectic approach, utilizing techniques from psychodynamic and strength-based psychotherapy. My style is flexible so that I might better suit the individualized needs of families, parents, couples, and individuals seeking my help.

Dr. T specializes in various evidence-based practices and frameworks, particularly around issues affecting Black, Indigenous, and other persons of color and the LGBTQIA+ community. Dr. T works with individuals, families, couples, and groups aged 6-80. Occasionally, I am paired with people who need support with concerns outside my field of practice. I may lack the appropriate knowledge and resources to provide the ethical and competent care you deserve. Individuals actively experiencing issues with Eating Disorders, Religion, Family/Domestic Violence, or Anger are encouraged to consider other clinicians.

Nicole’s clinical interests include relationships, intimacy, sexuality, attachment styles, and holistic & alternative health. She helps clients work on boundary issues, consent, codependency, feeling comfortable in their skin, and exploring desires. She also works with relationship partners (couples, thruples, polycules, etc.) on communicating needs, building emotional intimacy, exploring sexuality, and generally improving relationship health. Nicole can help guide you and provide tools to navigate challenging situations.

One of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story! I believe that everyone should feel seen, heard, and affirmed! It is incredibly natural to feel overwhelmed in our present world. Yet, life is way too short to surrender to unhealthy relationships, self-esteem issues, rough life transitions, trauma, grief, anger, depression, or anxiety… to name a few. I strive to help you achieve whatever solutions and life change you are looking for while finding purpose in all your life areas and experiencing yourself in new ways. I am dedicated to keeping couples healthy, relationships loving, and individuals balanced.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me! My ideal clients are looking for a strength-based approach where they are more than a "psychiatric diagnosis." My clients come from many backgrounds - they are children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families - and are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, women’s issues, anger management, ADHD, autistic spectrum disorder, addiction issues, couples therapy, and working through LGBTQ+ issues. I partner with my clients in the change process and empower them through using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and other tailored approaches.

I guide individuals on transformative journeys of healing and self-discovery. As a queer-identified therapist, I specialize in creating a safe space for exploring the unconscious and shadow aspects of the self, embracing all identities and relationship configurations. With a focus on religious trauma, trauma-informed care, and expertise in areas such as kink and polyamory, queer identities, and eating disorders, I provide a safe space for exploration and growth. Driven by curiosity and a commitment to authenticity, I invite individuals who may feel marginalized or misunderstood to explore their unique stories and experiences.

My name is Elisa Lee, LCPC and I provide counseling services for individuals, families and couples. I connect clients with psychiatry services via Telehealth within 48 hours. I work diligently to match clients in order to stabilize and manage their mental health needs. I also counsel and utilize CBT and reality therapy. I also integrate Mindfulness in therapy to enhance awareness of one's self. When working with minors, I incoorporate the family unit. Please give me a call to inquire further about our services and I can best help you with your psychological needs.

The goal of Heal Thyself Counseling Services is to create a supportive therapeutic environment where clients can explore their own emotional needs and overcome barriers that limit their full potential by meeting each client where they are most comfortable - at their home, in office, or online. I have professionally served individuals, families, and children for more than 6 years. Using cognitive therapy techniques and psycho-education as the backbone for treatment planning, I can help you develop a clear plan for improving your life and important life relationships.

I don't have an ideal client as I believe everyone is unique and I enjoy working with individuals and couples who are invested in changing patterns and moving into the future with a more positive outlook on themselves and how they impact others. I like to challenge and offer alternatives while also listening to what has worked and build on the positives.

We believe everyone deserves access to quality mental health therapy they can afford.

We return all outreaches within one business day and match you with a therapist within one week so you don't have to wait for care. We're here for you.

I value the human heart, soul, and spirit. I am a seasoned psychotherapist with 25 years of clinical practice. I am aware that we all experience times of darkness, and deep sorrow. We all experience anxiety, and struggle with certain life transitions. We heal by way of sharing our stories, feelings, and experiences. I care deeply about each of my clients, and I look forward to watching each person grow to their fullest potential. I will listen with a compassionate heart, and I have a genuine interest in each person that I work with.

Perhaps you're down or anxious - maybe you're unsure about the future of a relationship, or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to lead. Whatever your needs may be, we are here to offer support. Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery, and in our sessions, we promote behavioral transformation by encouraging a positive outlook and the adoption of new attitudes and reactions.

I am a bi-lingual (English and Spanish) Licensed Social Worker serving young people and adults who want to start their process of learning how to care for their emotional well-being and healing. I have experience with people working through depression, bipolar disorder, substance use, grief, sex & intimacy, trauma, anxiety, adjustment disorders, divorce, domestic violence, immigration, life transitions, peer relationships, relationship issues, self esteem, and stress.

I work with individuals, couples, and families struggling with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, addiction issues (substance abuse), troubled teens, school failure, LGBTQ+, and trauma and identity issues. As a lifelong allied and friend to the LGBTQ+ community, I work very hard to remain current to concerns that are specific to marginalized communities. I tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique needs. I will work with you to think outside of the box and build strength through our therapeutic relationship.

I am a Certified Sex Therapist (CST) and a member of the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT). I work with all aspects of sex and sexuality that may be the cause of pain or distress. These issues could include any variety of difficulties with desire, arousal, intimacy, physical pain, communication, identity/expression, or fertility. I work with individuals/couples of all expressions (LGBTQ-identified, heterosexual-identified, non-monogamous, polyamorous, etc) to integrate sex positive communication into their relationships.

Finding balance is often hard. I specialize in individual and couples therapy with a focus on marital and couples, sex therapy, and alternative lifestyle issues, such as non-monogamy. I have over 16 years of experience with LGBTQIA+ concerns, ethical non monogamy, and marital and couples work with communication and conflict issues. I bring a warm, honest, and open approach to therapy while helping you feel and find hope. I truly work to meet you where you are and create a space where you are not only safe but with a friend. This step is hard and I have been in your shoes so I will never judge.

Does your relationship keep getting stuck on the same problems, dealing with conflicts you get stuck on how your partner treats you and the issue never gets solved? There's been unfaithfulness or other consistent snares that leave you feeling abandoned, smothered, hurting, scared or fed up? My strengths are in understanding, untangling, healing and empowering you to know how to as well. As an individual you may be empty, lost, hurting, confused, can't sleep, can't concentrate, don't know how you'll survive or worse. Not only am I trained to help, I've been there.
