We all feel a little lost at times. This can have a negative impact on our relationships & individual lives. The ability to reflect and be comfortable in sharing the most intimate details about your life is not an easy task. My goal is to create a safe space for clients to share their stories and work on how to manage them moving forward by using a conversational partnership. What if you were given the opportunity to make positive changes in your life or relationship before it became a crisis? Having tools to draw upon during challenging times can make a difference in how we navigate the anxiety and stress in our lives.

Tired of people who just don’t "get” you because you’re different? Looking for someone who will affirm you and your identity? Maybe you need help with depression, anxiety, addiction, or relationship issues but you’re worried about being misunderstood or judged for being
queer
. Or maybe the issue IS sorting out your sexual orientation or gender identity. As a transman, I get what that feels like. This is a safe space for you. I have more than 25 years of experience in helping people improve their mood and their lives. We'll work on getting you feeling better, even when the world has been less than kind.

Jennifer Richards
Counselor, MEd, LMHCA, NCC
Verified
Recently moved to telehealth only. I’m Jen and I’m not perfect. In fact, it is impossible for anyone to be perfect. The constant striving for perfection is difficult enough, but it can also manifest as mental health issues. So why do you keep trying to achieve the impossible? Together, we can answer that question by connecting current thoughts, beliefs, and emotions to past experiences. We can’t fix the past, but we can change how we view it and move forward. I particularly enjoy working with the
LGBTQIA
+, alternative relationship and kink/fetish communities (gender, sexual, and relationship diversities).

I work with straight and
gay
alike.
I have 38 years experience counseling people with relationship issues; couples with family and marital problems; parents needing help with teens; straight and
gay
/
lesbian
couples wanting a healthier relationship. Relationship problems trigger issues like low self esteem,depression, and anxiety. I believe that most unhappiness stems from one or more problem relationships. My ideal client is tired of others trying to control or change them through behaviors like criticism, nagging, threatening, blaming, and complaining. And, my ideal client is one who wants to stop using these same behaviors that are harmful to their relationships.

As someone who has directly dealt with personal trauma, depression, and anxiety in the past; I understand how hard it is to take the first step into therapy and beginning the walk to heal. My goal is to make the first step into this journey for you safe and comfortable. I approach my clients with empathy, sincerity and evidence based treatments that have proven to be beneficial for all clients. I have spent the last 13 years of my life dedicating my time to helping others in a medical and therapeutic capacity. During my time in the medical field, I often was called to speak with those who were suffering from various ailments.
Dylan Stanton
Counselor, MA, LMHC

I work with clients who are ready for change and are eager to honestly examine their lives-- clients who are ready to explore issues which have generated disappointments, resentments, loneliness, pain, anger, or heartache. Life is hard, and at times we all need someone who will see us, hear us, and help us explore who we are and why we do the things we do. My approach is primarily psychodynamic and it is highly influenced by object relations and attachment theory. I believe our work is a collaborative effort. I provide a compassionate, engaging and respectful environment for clients.

I also enjoy working with international clients, specifically Arab clients, and have a good understanding of the culture and traditions. I am EMDR Trained (Level 2), trauma informed, adoption informed/attachment focused, and use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT & REBT), mindfulness, self-compassion, person-centered, and psychodynamic approaches.
