The choice to make time for therapy can be difficult with all of life’s responsibilities. And when previous ways of coping begin to fall short, it can be helpful to have a supportive space to turn to. Therapy provides the opportunity for you to engage in exploration, feel your feelings, and process life experiences. I hope to have the opportunity to work collaboratively with you to support you in fostering meaningful change in your life, whatever that change may be.

My name is Maita Yang. I speak Hmong and English. I am a first generation adult child of refugees. As a mental health therapist with a refugee background, I bring a unique perspective to my practice, understanding firsthand the challenges of displacement, trauma, and cultural adjustment. My journey has fueled my passion for helping others navigate their mental health struggles with empathy and resilience. I am passionate about the well-being of others and believe in meeting people where they are at. My holistic approach to mental health ensures that each client receives compassionate and individualized care.

Welcome to my profile! I am LaurEl Hiller, a passionate and dedicated Mental Health Therapist with extensive experience in helping individuals navigate the complexities of their emotional and psychological well-being. I believe in the power of therapy to promote healing, resilience, and growth.

I believe in a strengths-based approach and collaboration in the therapeutic process. It is important for me to learn about the person as a whole, and their place in their environment. I believe every individual is unique and may require a variety of modalities to determine what fits best. My overarching framework is to provide neurodiversity affirming care and find paths to work with your strengths instead of against them.

It is an honor to help people and support them through difficult life circumstances and make positive and lasting change. I work together with those I serve to create a safe place to identify concerns and improve quality of life. I work holistically to improve all life areas including emotional, mental, physical and spiritual, with the goal of improving life long term. I am passionate about helping people and I work to empower people to find understanding, balance and hope.

Working with clients ages 18+, I operate from a heavily client centered and eclectic lens, preferring to meet clients where they’re at rather than using one specific modality of treatment. I have training in DBT, CBT, trauma work, substance use disorders, and beyond and experience treating adjustment disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use disorders. My areas of professional focus include - life transitions - personal growth - career development - medical professional stress and burnout.

Do you feel stuck, spiraling with anxiety, & overwhelmed right now? The overwhelming feelings of depression, anxiety, and the "what-ifs" of life can feel debilitating at times and all you want to know is that everything will be ok. You want to bring your true self back again. If you are scared, depressed, worried, & unsure, or feel like you lost yourself, I want to tell you that there is hope & a future for you & your relationships. Together we can get to the root issues and release them so that fear and pain no longer control your life. You can create positive coping skills to navigate anxiety and depression & process past trauma.

I currently offer telemedicine and office visits. I believe each person is unique and possesses the ability to discover his or her answers in an environment without judgment. My goal is to facilitate the path of discovery with each client while providing encouragement, hope, understanding, and education. I value the relationship between therapist and client and the ability to meet an individual where he or she is wanting to focus therapy. I am trained in trauma therapy (EMDR) and specialize in relationship issues, codependency, women's issues, anxiety, depression, chemical abuse and self-esteem.

If you're ready for a change, you're in the right place. I love being able to help my clients release ties that have kept them stuck or in pain. Together we will work to identify wellness goals, assist in building healthy relationships, and move you toward a stronger more vibrant life. My clients say that I am easy to talk to and authentic, compassionate yet challenging. I help my clients to gain insight and tools so they can move on to live a life they feel good about. I work with individuals, adolescents, families, and couples to solve immediate issues, like anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life dissatisfaction.

When times are challenging, you may not feel like you have the energy or strength to navigate challenges or be your true self. You may be experiencing anxiety and/or depression symptoms that make it difficult to function daily. You may want to learn new coping techniques because the ones you know and have implemented are not effective. I currently work with adults (18+) who are experiencing life transitions, depression, and/or anxiety symptoms and apply CBT and DBT-based approaches through person-centered talk-therapy. If you want to be seen, heard, and understood, contact me through the email or phone number provided.

First off, I get that being human can be hard and showing up can be half the battle. I strive to be compassionate, down to earth, non-judgmental, and person-centered. I have empathy for how we cope with the complexities of relationships and day to day life. In working with me you can anticipate authenticity, curiosity, and humor to join you in session. I show up as my most authentic self and encourage you to as well.

Ever found yourself reviewing the same situation over and over? Or the same thought running in your mind on replay? Find yourself repeating the same old patterns and never seeing improvements in your mental health? You have come to the right place! I love working with folks who are just getting to know their mental health goals as well as working with other therapists who do this every day too. We all need a little support and guidance every once in a while. I am happy to be a safe place to get that need met.

Mental health is as important as physical health, but we don't really treat it as such at times. If you are feeling sad, worried, or anxious, then this has a real impact on your ability to enjoy and live your life. We all deserve to live life at its fullest and at times, life can make it difficult to do so. I believe that we all need support and help from others, but it can be hard to reach out to others when we need.

Fear, doubt, and pain can sometimes keep us from realizing our potential and achieving our goals. Although we may sometimes need a little help to access the tools we need during a challenging time, each of us has the ability to overcome these obstacles. With courage, hope, patience, and a new perspective, we can get moving in the right direction again. Loren's clients value his authentic, supportive, and humorous style. Meetings are characterized as encouraging, engaging, and insightful as he creates a positive and safe environment to make lasting changes.
