""Healing doesn't mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives." I consider it a privilege to work with the parents, children and individuals seeking assistance. Distress comes in many forms and each persons reactions to change is different. Many changes that affect a person come from divorce, separation, moving, death of a family member or career loss/change. Supporting you is my first priority whatever your situation. I am committed to working with you toward a positive solution to the situation causing distress."

Together we can explore your concerns and develop plans to strive for your goals."

"We are hardwired to connect with others. But sometimes life gives us an unlimited supply of challenges, and we can get stuck in negative cycles that disconnect us from the people and things that are most important to us in life. While we may not be able to control what life throws our way, there are a few things that can help us make it though those challenges - more resilient and more connected to the ones we love. I'm committed to providing a safe and compassionate environment for individuals, couples, and families to find personal growth and relational healing amid difficult life experiences."

""I am a trusted and compassionate professional who enjoys helping others to be creative in resolving complex issues. Regarded as a specialist in mental health and consultation, I provide brief, solution-focused therapy and psycho-dynamic work. I also provide consultation, training, and workshops for staff, agencies and groups. As a former mental health consultant with the NFL, I am very effective in helping clients, athletes and coaches to attain desired goals and success. From clients with chronic illnesses to clients seeking to explore spirituality and faith - I work to help increase a sense of purpose, effectiveness, calm and wellness.""

"Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life."

"My strength is working with children, adolescents and their families as well as with adults to help address any issues that are keeping them from functioning the way they would like to. My goal in working with others during treatment is provide them with insight to give them ability to make changes in their lives. Everyone already has the ability within them to live a fulfilling life and I enjoy helping them find the skills to do that."

"Is your adolescent struggling in school? Are you having difficulty keeping his/her behavior under control? Is your child acting differently (isolating themselves, arguing more than usual, avoiding peers, self-harming)? Are you struggling with a divorced or blended family situation? I would love to be able to help you, your child, and your family. I have been working with at-risk, troubled youth and their families for over 15 years. This includes working closely with the school, juvenile system, and medical practitioners, as well."

"Are you finding it difficult to manage your moods, feeling sad, irritable or angry most of the time? You may feel that your worry is unmanageable. You may be going through a difficult time in your life due to grief or life changes. Or you may be noticing some of these issues in your child. There are many reasons to seek out counseling, each of them valid."

"My hope is that through my direct style of therapy, I can help you find your way to a more fulfilling and authentic life. I believe that my clients are most successful when we can establish an open and honest therapeutic relationship. I want to work alongside you and possibly your spouse, children or family to pursue a healthier approach to life."

"My top priority is to provide a safe and nurturing counseling environment where my clients feel supported as they learn and grow. I blend several different counseling techniques together in a manner that fits each client's specific needs. Through careful listening and understanding, I guide my clients in examining their current and past attitudes, feelings, beliefs, thoughts, and choices and collaborate with each client to determine how these are affecting their day-to-day lives. Together, we create a plan to work through these issues, and I challenge and support my clients as they make positive choices and changes."

"I have been in the field for about 15 years with a majority of my experience being in the field of addictions, working with adolescents, adults, families, and couples. In working in the field of addictions, there are many factors that envelope a person's ability to cope with life. I understand that asking for help can be difficult and identifying a need for change can induce some fears. I can help you identify any changes that are needed and offer encouragement and support through your journey of self preservation."

"Problems at school, feelings of sadness and confusion, emotional and behavioral outbursts, and withdrawing from people and activities are common concerns seen in children. Adolescents often experience problems at school, at home, and in social settings, causing feelings of isolation and poor decision making such as drinking, smoking, and skipping school. I work with children and adolescents to understand the root causes of their feelings and actions and to identify and implement appropriate coping skills."

"Couple's counseling and sexual health is my passion. Infidelity, cheating, and emotional affairs. Lack of sexual desire. Communication, loss of connection, and healing old hurts and resentments are common issues addressed in my practice. I'd love to meet you (I do see individuals), or you and your partner (same-sex couples, heterosexual couples, polyamorous couples). You can schedule with me directly online from my webpage: micheleomara.com"

"A common phrase I hear is "I just feel stuck." The people who say that know there is something better out there, but they don't know how to move in that direction. My role is to help you better understand yourself and make the most of who you want to be. Many people reach out because their lives seem to lack meaning, they don't feel worthwhile, they find some challenges overwhelming, or they just don't seem to feel joy from their relationships or activities. That's where we begin the work."
