Hi there, I'm Carrie! My approach to therapy is trauma-informed, rooted in compassion, collaboration, and a deep commitment to empowering clients to achieve meaningful change. I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients develop mindfulness skills and foster psychological flexibility, aligning their actions with their values. Drawing from the Humanistic-Existential approach, I guide clients in exploring their personal life experiences to uncover their full potential while addressing universal aspects of the human condition, such as isolation, meaning, and freedom.

Hello My name is Prem Nikoniuk. I have been serving my fellow travelers in life for the past 22 years and it never tires me. I discover a little bit of me in literally every single interaction I have with someone new. I am licensed in AK and IL and I've lived in both states enjoying their many gifts. I am human-based and believe deeply in the human experience- as in doing life versus being in life. I work endlessly with people of all ages, backgrounds, race/ethnicity/culture/identity and as such have been privy to so very many of their experiences along the way!

Hi! My name is Jacqueline Lizarazo, and I go by Jackie. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in therapy for individuals, children, and couples, with a focus on grief, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and sexual abuse. Why Choose Me: I want you to read the following passages: On Abuse: “I lived in a glass house into which my mother could look at any time. In a glass house, however, you cannot conceal anything without giving yourself away, except by hiding it under the ground. And then you cannot see it yourself, either.” On Depression: “Trees aren’t supposed to display fruit; they’re supposed to produce it.

As a 3rd generation social services worker, I often joke that I was born into this field. I cannot imagine myself in any other profession. This is all I have ever wanted to do. With that being said, I was also born into a society that often refuses to accept the necessity of therapy, especially for men and people of color.

Unease washes over you as you realize you're not thriving. This is so rough. Witnessing is often a journey filled with emotional challenges, leaving you grappling with a deep sense of fear and uncertainty. You notice subtle changes in yourself -your demeanor—perhaps it's something about how you carry yourself, sadness in your eyes, or a reluctance to share your thoughts/feelings. Sometimes, it's as if you're watching the light within you dim. You try to connect, yet a part remains closed off, wrapped in your world of turmoil. Memories of energetic, happy, and fearless times haunt you, enforcing your belief that you deserve support.
