Christine Junod
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Verified
My clients have experienced Big T or little t traumas, or they're anxious and overthinking. My clients have been harmed by past relationships or experiences and often don't feel "heard" by the significant people in their lives. Some clients need help identifying and processing long-held feelings, some need someone to come alongside and help them navigate a tough time in life. My clients don't want to feel alone anymore. They want to move ahead and replace their burdens with hope.
Brett Nikula
Marriage & Family Therapist Associate, MS, LAMFT
Verified
My favorite work is done with couples who want to stay together but find them selves moving apart due to conflict and problematic behaviors. I teach these couples new skills that allow them to connect and restore their relationship, skills that allow both individuals to be heard and to understand each other. In this process a new and deeper connection is formed the relationship is left stronger than ever before. This can be your story too! In addition to couples work I also see individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, and behavioral issues. I support each person and assist them in finding ways through difficulty.
Tanya Freedland
Drug & Alcohol Counselor, MPS, LADC
Verified
Hi my name is Tanya Freedland and I am a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor and the founder of the ARCS Institute. I specialize in online video-based individual therapy and I work from a recovery orientation that focuses on what you want for yourself in your life and how we can overcome the challenges and barriers you face together. I believe that everyone has their own path to recovery and there is no "right" way to heal from substance use problems. I also rely on research to enhance our collaborative process by utilizing a non 12-step, cognitive behavioral approach that incorporates evidence based skills and strategies.

Andria Botzet
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT

CURRENTLY FULL/NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Relationships can be so stressful. Finding common ground on parenting or values/beliefs at times feels impossible. A negative spiral begins where you don’t talk as much…you shut down, you yell, or maybe you just give up and walk away. You might begin to feel anxious or depressed and don’t know what else you can do to make this better for you and your family. Learning to communicate effectively and finding balance in your relationship can take work. I can help you and/or your partner learn how to improve communication, balance home/work responsibilities, and strengthen parenting strategies.

My personal journey through adoption, trauma, abuse, raising a child with mental health concerns, spiritual enlightenment, natural mental health, divorce, and remarriage have become the gifts I share though therapy.
