Franco Bejarano
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
As a psychotherapist, my goal is to create a safe space whereby building a relationship, unraveling issues, demystifying oneself, voicing hopes and dreams, and developing wisdom and insight, one can emerge from (and exist in) the forest that is life with a deeper understanding of how to navigate oneself and the world around us. It is my philosophy that great psychotherapy not only addresses the issues on the table, but also guides one towards greater overall life fulfillment.
Pamela Everett Thompson
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
I am best suited for individuals or couples who recognize a pattern of self-defeating behaviors that destroy relationships and contribute to anxiety/depression. These individuals feel stuck in a seemingly never-ending cycle that may include: procrastination, busyness that leads nowhere, the exhaustion of perfectionism, feelings of rejection, loneliness, or depletion in general--all of which gets worse without intervention. Wishing that distracting issues and concerns would just go away is unproductive. My job is to make psychology applicable to everyday problem-solving and decision-making and therefore give you a reason to hope for a new reality.

Kelsey Smith
Counselor, MA, LPC, CCTP
Verified
Often, life's deepest moments are intertwined with the relationships we form; and some of life's biggest struggles result from barriers to those connections. Whether it's anxiety, anger management, codependence, impulsivity, isolation, self-esteem or something else - you and I can tackle them together. The therapeutic alliance is a non-judgmental partnership intended to facilitate your personal growth and self understanding, and it is not always an easy journey. Facing challenges in the safe container of the therapeutic environment helps build resilience to face whatever life tosses your way.

Opening Up, LLC
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, CAMS-II
Verified
As a Psychotherapist I understand that human pain, suffering and changes in development can be difficult to navigate alone. Our social system can lack the reinforcement we need to successfully navigate life. It is my belief that therapy can assist with helping to navigate, regroup, and regain our happiness - which is different for each person. I also understand how therapy with the right person can make a major difference in regrouping and regaining happiness. We all deserve happiness and our happiness starts and ends with us. Take the first step toward regaining your happiness - Open Up to the possibilities.
Cindy Hopper
Counselor, CRC, APC, NCC
Verified
I believe an empathic, warm, and non-judgmental counseling approach fosters healing. I also believe we all have within us the ability to live a meaningful life, and we sometimes need assistance to tap into the wellspring of human potential. This is where the collaboration between client and counselor can help.
Bethany Comeau
Licensed Professional Counselor
Verified
Right now, you're navigating “post-Covid life” after a long separation from loved ones, socializing, and once-familiar settings. Turns out, making the transition back to normalcy is more overwhelming than you thought it would be. Learning “how to be around people again” and balancing rapidly changing life demands has been harder than you expected. As difficult as 2020 was, it forced you to slow down, reevaluate your priorities, and have an “excuse” to say no to extra commitments “because Covid.” But now the world is opening back up, and just thinking about jumping back into your “old life” suddenly feels stressful and exhausting.
