I believe that everyone has the inner ability to learn and grow even though they may feel stuck at some point of their life. I provide a warm, safe, supportive and collaborative environment for clients to develop a better understanding their thoughts and feeling, improve coping strategies and achieve the goals they want. I enjoy working with people from various backgrounds and cultures.

Shamara’s sessions fosters a collaborative relationship that assists clients in gaining self-awareness, understanding the possibility of change and steps for obtaining an optimal level of wellness and stability. Through trauma-informed approaches, CBT, mindfulness practices, parent aide, play-therapy, sessions are judgement free and affirming. An environment where it's okay to not have it all figured out or to feel like you have it all figured out.

Are you unconventional in ways that makes finding a therapeutic fit hard? Need tailored sessions? Hi, I'm Locke! Whether you want to use sessions as executive function coaching, silent brainspotting, or cathartic chats, I'll aim to make it possible. Rationality-valuing, polyamorous, & LGBTQ+ neurodivergents with complex trauma report the most relief working with me, but my trauma treatment through individual and couple's counseling can benefit all. Survivors, especially those who don't wish to talk about their trauma, are as accommodated as those who do. Welcome, creatives, philosophers, and insomniacs needing flexibility!

Are you finding yourself constantly overwhelmed by anxiety? Are the symptoms of your lingering anxiety impacting the quality of your life? I know exactly what you are experiencing: the pounding chest, tightened muscles, clenched jaw, and on/off cold sweats. People often suffer from anxiety for many years without seeking treatment. I believe that holistic and evidence based practices can reduce anxiety and panic, and I look forward to teaching you tools to help take your life back. I also work with LGBTQ couples who are struggling with a variety of concerns like sexual/intimacy issues, communication, codependency, and infidelity.

I provide counseling for individuals and couples experiencing relationship issues, depression, anxiety, life transitions, pre-marital, and sexual issues. I enjoy helping individuals and couples enhance and strengthen their relationships. My goal is to help individuals find greater meaning and purpose in life, and couples at all stages (dating, pre-engagement, marriage, and also re-marriage) develop greater intimacy in all aspects of their relationships.

Anxiety, depression and relationship issues can range from restricting to debilitating. Have you found yourself making the same mistakes in your personal and professional life? Are you stuck in an unsatisfying relationship or job, where you feel unable to move forward? Do you have a tendency to keep rehashing past mistakes? Are you feeling depressed and anxious as a result? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then psychotherapy can help you find the answers you seek and the tools you need to promote growth and change in your life because the ability to heal is within each of us.

Thank you for reaching out. My name is Jonathan Le. I am a licensed mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral counselor and I believe that a non-judgmental and empathetic relationship is the utmost importance of meeting the goals of the client. I believe that counseling is a safe space where it is okay to be authentic and it is okay to be vulnerable too. With therapy we can work on ways to empower, on ways to cope with negative moods and negative behaviors, change faulty thinking and to change lifelong beliefs about one's self. Regardless of situation and behaviors, I believe we can work on ways for you to get back to wellness.

My approach is goal-oriented and integrated – pulling from multiple disciplines like Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solutions Focused Therapy. While keeping the individual’s needs in mind, an intentional humanistic approach remains at the forefront. Ultimately we’re going to need to have a meaningful relationship if we’re going to create change.

Life is a continuous process. Maybe it is a process of relationship struggle or life transition. We may feel anxious and stuck in repetitive patterns and find it difficult to pinpoint the reason. Partnering with me, we will pay close attention to your physical sensations, embodied emotions, and internal world. My immigrant background helps me attune with BIPOC communities, especially with Asian-Americans and international students. We can use a combination of art and talk to work through anxiety, trauma, cross-cultural adjustment, low self-esteem, being a people-pleaser, or perfectionist tendency.

Hi, I applaud you for taking this step. As a therapist, it's not just about addressing symptoms, but to hold space for all the human emotional experiences. I believe that trust and support are important foundations to our therapeutic relationship. As a second-generation Asian-American, I embrace a learning mindset that encompasses multicultural, intergenerational and intersectional contexts. I offer support in a range of concerns including depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, trauma and eating disorders.

I work with all types of clients (couples, children, individuals) but especially marginalized groups (especially LGBTQ+) who need a place to feel comfortable, accepted, understood and respected. A place where feelings are valued, validated and matter. You may have been displaced, made to feel wrong, unaccepted and unwelcome. You want a safe space where you can express yourself freely and not be judged as society and others may have judged you. A place where you can be heard and work on feeling proud and wonderful with who you are and process negative experiences so you can be fully your authentic self and enjoy a fulfilling life.

We all experience "stuckness" sometimes and feel disconnected from those we love most. Maybe you find yourself revisiting the same old territory in your mind on a loop, and find that it is hard to make a change on your own. Or maybe you have faced a moment of rupture in a close relationship, and find your world torn apart. Perhaps you are noticing unhelpful patterns in yourself or your relationships, and are now feeling ready to explore them. Or you might find yourself avoiding social situations, even though you have a sense it might help you feel better.

While going through life, we sometimes forget to focus on ourselves. As a result, our stresses, past trauma, relationship issues, tend to catch up with us. I want to create a safe environment for individuals and couples to be able to discuss issues that may be hampering them in their daily life. I believe that the very first step to having a fulfilling life is to be able to look at your life. One of the things I always strive to do with my clients is work with them to acquire tools that can help them to not only become more self-aware but to use that self-awareness in order to make better decisions in life.

Sharing a life with someone is hard. Having an expectation that this life will somehow match what we see in movies or read in books can make anyone feel like a failure. In my practice, I do my best to help couples find ways to connect, build trust, and learn how to turn toward each other regardless of past experiences and hurts.

I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker with post-graduate psychoanalytic training. I treat people struggling with a range of difficulties, including interpersonal relationship issues, familial issues, childhood and adult trauma, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, eating disorders, as well as academic and career inhibitions. I often work with patients who have tried therapy in the past without obtaining the relief they'd hoped for.
