My specialty is working with relationships; people having a hard time with relationships either romantic, at work or with a sibling, parent or friend. I teach effective communication, patience, and learning assertiveness rights (you have the right to say no to someone). I help my clients to identify their values, learn about mindfulness and describe what their "best life" looks like. If you are making decisions that are guided by your values, you will find your best life. I will help you identify ineffective patterns, find your path, set goals and get to where you want to be.

Gabriel Montero
Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern, MS, RMHCI
Verified
Gabriel understands that life can be challenging and that we sometimes need guidance and support to reach places where we desire to be. He believes that we are essentially like homes with many parts. We are filled with bedrooms, living rooms, bathrooms and many areas that we do not see, yet experience. We have walls that serve purpose and doors that give us access to new rooms and like the plumbing supplying water to our homes, pressure can bust pipes.

Alexis Goolkasian
Counselor, LMHC, MA
Verified
For parents of struggling adolescents and teenagers, it can be stressful, frustrating, and even scary to observe changes in your child’s mood, behavior, and personality. At first it may have seemed like their complaints about friends, difficulties with school, and general moodiness was just a phase of teen angst, but as your adolescent or teenager's self-confidence, school performance, social activity, and motivation dwindle, so does your confidence in your ability to help them. You’ve tried everything you can think of to make them feel better and help them get back on track, and you feel overwhelmed when nothing seems to work.
Positive Life Counseling Services LLC
Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern, MS
Verified
We all deal with stress on a daily basis; it is something that many of us do not want to deal with. It takes a lot of courage and strength for one to choose counseling as an alternative way to cope with stress. It also takes a commitment for one to remain on that path. The goal of counseling is to enhance one's quality of life in his or her everyday walk and to promote self awareness. As a counselor, my personal goal is to help clients identify goals as well as impending solutions to issues that cause emotional perplexity.

I have a deep enthusiasm for working with the strengths and abilities of people. I view therapy as a process to improve the overall quality of your life while gaining new insight to how your thoughts and beliefs effect your coping skills. Everyone experiences challenging times, however, when life becomes overwhelming personal growth becomes difficult. My experience has led me to recognize that therapy remains a very individual experience. I aim to created a warm, positive environment where you can share your stories while increasing your overall sense of well-being to develop inner strength.

I specialize in the treatment of post traumatic stress disorder. My model is extremely safe and non invasive. It is 98% successful for patients who remain in treatment for 6 months or more. It focuses on the trauma not being the fault of the patient, safety for the patient, and taking back control of one's life that the trauma has taken away. I also treat most other psychiatric and counseling problems. I see patients of all ages. In addition to solution focused trauma work, I am an accomplished family therapist and use mindfulness based cognitive therapy to promote progress.
