My ideal client is motivated for personal growth in an effort to provide freedom from self. Someone who is eager to explore what it is they want to address. Not even necessarily someone with tremendous insight but just the desire to want to become a better human. Whatever that means for them. I want to provide a collaborative process where we aim to work towards finding your goals and the best way to reach them.

I’m Sina, a neurodivergent provisional- LPC and registered dietitian/nutritionist. I work with folks identifying as (or exploring) ADHD, autistic, genderqueer, and more. I also work with folks experiencing eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image concerns. We know these complex experiences can also come with anxiety, depression, trauma, etc. so if you or someone you know is looking for support in these areas, I’d love to hear from you. I use a relational, neurodivergent-affirming, and weight-inclusive approach to my work with clients, aligning with anti-oppressive and anti-diet frameworks.

As a therapist, I believe my role is to help guide and support clients in their healing journey. I am trained in EMDR and it is my main modality. With this, I work to help clients heal from stressful experiences that make them feel stuck. I work with my clients to curate a felt sense of safety in safe environments. We then work together to install more adaptive ways to handle stress. I believe we are always working towards healing but at times, need some help along the way. I provide this so clients can feel more empowered, self compassionate, and grounded.

I consider myself a neuro-psychotherapist. I enjoy working with people who want to feel differently and are ready for the things that they know are true to feel true. I enjoy working with any age individual. I help facilitate change for those who would like to have the stresses or large events of the past not have so much power and control over them in the present. I work to empower people to feel more grounded in the present and hopeful about the future.

Hello! I'm Ophelia and I am excited you found my page. How do you respond to challenges, Stressors and failures? Challenges and Failures doesn’t mean nothing has been accomplished; there is always the opportunity to learn something. Always remember that God isn’t surprised by our stumbles. His love, grace, mercy, and forgiveness are bigger than any mess we make. God never sees any of us as failures; He only sees us as learners. We fail only when we don’t learn from each experience. The decision is up to us—we can choose to turn a failure into a hitching post or into a guidepost in our lives.

None of my clients are failures or broken because they choose to come to counseling. In fact, I believe everyone grows up learning unspoken rules about what they should and shouldn’t do as a decent human being, when in reality, there’s a lot of rules that simply need to be readjusted. If you're currently struggling with your past, present, or future, let me take some of the burden off your shoulders. I currently am scheduling individual adults, couples, and college students. I especially love to help individuals struggling with relationships issues and folks with low self-esteem/confidence.

Deciding to try therapy can be a deeply personal decision. It is necessary you feel heard by your clinical therapist and that you know you can trust their expertise to light the path you have chosen. The connection built during the therapeutic process is incredibly rewarding and a powerful side-kick to healing!

I strongly believe that everyone is unique and everyone’s story is unique; therefore, different approaches are essential in working with a wide variety of people. I am a true believer in the concept of “words shape beliefs” and, in that vein, saying “I do not know” or “please help” are powerful words since vulnerability often leads to growth and healing. One of my favorite quotes is by Viktor Frankl who said "When we are no longer able to change a situation - we are challenged to change ourselves."

Congratulations on taking this step to work on improving your life/situation. That is a huge step and one that will be honored if you choose to work with me. I see therapy as helping people to change, not changing people. I am a client-centered therapist with over 25 years working in mental health. I have seen such a wide brush-stroke of peoples' experiences, nothing is any longer unbelievable, nor open to my judgment. These experiences include: inpatient care, high school and university educational counseling, and community-based care. My clients experiences define the concept of diversity.

Everyone feels anxiety. It is a normal human emotion, but sometimes anxiety becomes too big and no longer helpful. When anxiety feels burdensome, help and hope are available. I enjoy helping clients handle concerns with anxiety, such as generalized anxiety, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and a range of fears/phobias (needle, blood, heights, animals, etc.). I also have expertise working with clients who are experiencing depression, grief/loss, the unique challenges faced by the queer community, as well as distinct issues encountered by men in general.

I believe that most people who see a counselor are not psychologically abnormal. My clients are having normal reactions to a complex, stressful, ever-changing world. No matter the problem, people cope in the best way they know how. My job is simply to help you become more effective in your coping. Because so many people have busy schedules, I provide services in the evenings so that my clients don't have to create any more stress in their lives.

I believe everyone deserves to be assisted and supported to live to their full potential and particularly enjoy working with those who have experienced complex trauma from childhood and relationship experiences. I welcome veterans and military families, those in the LGBTQIA+ community, and people seeking to integrate or discuss faith in treatment.

I work with individuals to help manage life’s big transitions and decisions. You may be wrestling with anxiety or low self-esteem, and feeling frustrated that things which once came easily are now more of a struggle. You do not have to manage these difficulties alone.

Life is stressful and sometimes coping with everyday challenges can be more than we can handle on our own. We can become unseated in the comfort of our daily routine by extraneous situations that require action and attention from us; death, job loss, separation, or even just being overwhelmed with what's expected from us on a daily basis.
