Life is stressful, and can take a toll on your relationships. You may love your partner, but not feel "in love," or find yourself in frequent conflict. Learn to improve relationships by recognizing unconscious patterns that interfere with communication and love. Express feelings and emotions to gain intimacy and connection. For those seeking a new relationship, we will work on discernment skills to stop repeating the same patterns. I share my experiences and insight utilizing integrative modalities including CBT, Gottman and mindfulness to facilitate self-awareness, authenticity and find creative solutions to your issues.

We live in a high-paced world, pulling us in all directions, leading us to feel burnt out and disconnected from other people. You might have become tired of the nagging stress, the strong emotions, the complexity of navigating relationships, or the feeling that something is holding you back from reaching your full potential. Despite all of this, a part of you wants to feel better and move forward. After all, that is why you are taking this major step of seeking help at this moment in your life.

Julie Dowden
Counselor, LMHC

Today’s world is defined by opportunities and challenges that didn’t exist for our parents. The changing ways in which we approach identity, relationships, work, leisure, and education – the core of emotional and psychological fulfillment – can be as bewildering as they are exciting. Becoming the truest and best version of ourselves can be an elusive task in this ever-shifting and often judgemental, invalidating landscape. It’s no wonder all of us need help in one way or another.

Francesca Bjork
Counselor, LMHC
Verified
I am a warm and empathic therapist who will help you to see and grow into your best self and improve your day-to-day life. I believe that a person is more than just the sum of their parts, that people have many levels of self-awareness, that we have free will and participate, rather than simply observe our lives, and that we all have purpose, value, and meaning. We can choose happiness and contentment. Much of our suffering and despair (and our joy and fulfillment) comes from our relationships with others. I want my clients to be treated with respect and care in their relationships and to believe that this is an attainable goal.

Chelsea Sciabarrasi, LICSW
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LICSW
Verified
Humans are unique, amazing, intersectional beings that are connected to various systems and cultures. I value helping others to define their own happiness and implementing steps in how to get there. Life often presents us with unexpected, confusing, or upsetting challenges which can wound our sense of self. This can lead to unwanted behaviors, beliefs, and emotions that are difficult to navigate. One style of therapy does not work for everyone and I utilize a strengths based, adaptable, and holistic approach towards healing. I specialize in treating trauma and stress with children under the age of 12 as well as adults.

I believe that one of the bravest acts is understanding and accepting your own story. An ideal client is someone who focuses on personal growth and healing. My primary goal for clients is to make the therapeutic process comfortable and rewarding while allowing them to feel validated and thrive towards their goals. Life can be a strenuous roller coaster, with numerous ups and downs. On the bright side, seeing a therapist doesn’t have to be. Many may believe that therapy is a one-sided process, with little collaboration between the therapist and client. I can assure you that I am as real as it gets!

My approach is flexible, collaborative and extremely supportive using a strengths based perspective in an empathic and non-judgmental environment–and I have built my practice on these principles (a little humor doesn’t hurt either).

You have all the tools you need to achieve your goals; my role is to help you rediscover those tools and your own personal gift of insight.
