NOW accepting NEW clients! Hi! I am Marie. I love working as a mental health counselor because I have the privilege of accompanying others through life's incredible challenges; seasons of self-doubt, anxiety, loss, confusion, anger. I am also able to join in life's incredible moments of connection, beauty, confidence and success. It is within this swirl of life that authenticity and strength can grow.

I work with clients facing issues related to trauma, stress/anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviors, interpersonal struggles, and other challenges to life and purpose. They reach out because they recognize the importance of their mental, emotional, and interpersonal well-being and are seeking a supportive space. If you're grappling with the impact of past or recent traumas, navigating challenging life circumstances, or struggling to take more control over your life, I am here to provide a safe and empathetic setting where you can share your experiences judgment-free, uncover your inner strengths, and to empower you with choice.

Hi, thanks for checking out my profile. Please email me as this allows me to respond more quickly to your questions. I absolutely enjoy providing thoughtful caring therapy focused on your needs. I specialize in individualized care for adults. I can help you change your thought patterns and behaviors to have an increased sense of inner calm and improved well-being.

We're a group of mental health therapists who work to assist people in tough situations by listening actively, identifying strengths and supports to be used or to be developed, sharing science-based research and practical tools, promoting insight and understanding of various contributing factors, and ultimately helping clients find lasting solutions. Our work is defined by the client’s vision of what they want their life to become. The inner life and the outer life are both parts of the picture, and we seek to bring both into focus.

Have you ever had a different sense of where you’re meant to be? Are you ready to make changes in your life but are unsure of how or where to start? If you're experiencing relationship issues, unresolved issues from your past that are holding you back, have feelings of being overwhelmed, or are having difficulty coping with life’s difficulties, I want to help you. I am an experienced therapist working with adult clients on issues including relationship dynamics, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and stress management.

I have never met an addict or alcoholic with a drug or drinking problem. Does this sound strange? The fact is I've met hundreds of individuals with a solution that is no longer working. Drugs and alcohol have been the solution, not the problem. Addicts and Alcoholics have an above average intelligence and a highly sensitive nervous system. This combination is especially challenging in these unprecedented times when it is natural to reach for relief in the form of a substance or behavioral addiction. If your solution is no longer working, I am here to help. I have maintained sobriety for over nearly 40 years. It can be done.

The decision to come to therapy is a powerful one. In our work together, we’ll team up and create distance from stressors, such as anxiety, perfectionism, and other external pressures. You will likely find me warm, engaged, and direct. Our sessions will seem active and conversational- you will not feel like you are the only one doing the talking!

Hello and Welcome! I provide support to adult individuals and couples. I have been described by my clients as radically compassionate and easy to talk to. Using a person centered, trauma informed, emotions-focused and holistic approach, I will support and empower you to improve your overall health and well-being. I will assist you in personal goal exploration, accessing any pains and challenges that are keeping you from living a fulfilling life, and will provide you with space and guidance to find your own answers.

February 16, 2024 - I currently have coaching and private pay openings. Most people I work with start sessions sharing some version of what's wrong with them: "I can't seem to get out of my own way." "I'm good at starting things but cant finish them." This includes a constant internal dialogue that includes, "I hate myself." "I don't understand why people don't like me." "I don't like people." "I just don't fit." "I can't do this any more." "I worry about myself." "I'm afraid." "People tell me I'm smart (or attractive, or funny, etc.) but I don't believe them."

All of us face challenges every day. Some are large in nature and require a lot of assistance to get through, others are smaller and require minimal help. Therapy starts with identifying these challenges and then developing the skills to reduce and ideally resolve them. Some therapy focuses on gaining insight into the origin of the issue which helps to reduce and resolve it, other therapy is focused on solving a specific issue. Some therapy spans years while others can be as short as a few months. I believe in the inherent healing capacity of the individual.

I am a psychodynamic psychologist with 15 years of experience, primarily working with adults and older adolescents. I also have experience with eating disorders, and also in a health psychology setting working alongside primary care physicians. Starting psychotherapy can be straightforward or complicated, depending on your needs. It would be unlikely to find concrete solutions during the first one or two meetings. More often it becomes a lengthier process, addressing problems with relationships, or with generally feeling overwhelmed, trapped, or bogged down in life.

If you're feeling angry or upset or worried a lot of the time, isn't it time for a change? I have a focus on helping clients through transitions such as break-ups/divorces, new parenting and other life changes. I enjoy collaborating with clients to help them get to where they want to be in life. You don't have to go through difficult times alone!

You are the expert to your own life. The services I offer are tailored to help you best connect with yourself and your own needs. I offer individualized, trauma-informed, and evidenced-based treatment plans to support clients in exploring areas of their life where they feel stuck or stagnant and aid them in developing and achieving meaningful goals for their future.

I'm Dr. Akamin Nkengaka, a License Clinical Social Worker and a License Advanced Alcohol & Drugs Counselor with 15 years of evidence based clinical experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, trauma informed care, suicidal ideation, abuse, self-esteem, and relationships. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you to overcome negative challenges in your life.

I am unable to accept new clients at this time. Everyone needs space to process life, including its challenges and successes. I am here to help you do that. By using a holistic approach to your mental health, together we will explore aspects of your internal and external environment. We will discover what holds you back and ultimately what empowers you.

Currently booking clients for May 2024. Hi there! My therapeutic approach is all about you. My goal is to make therapy a warm and safe space to help you make the changes you wish to make. I am flexible and will use different types of therapy depending on your needs and preferences. I often use a blend of client-centered, ACT, and psychodynamic therapies. I also often conceptualize using family systems and attachment theory. We will decide at the beginning of our work what will feel like the best fit for you.
