LaQuanda Coulote
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Verified
My approach to wellness is holistic and considers not just what may be happening in your own life but how the relationships with those you love and others around may be impacting you. Even when working with individuals, I believe it’s important to understand the impact of the interactions between you and others. During my career as a therapist, I have worked with people in many different circumstances: couples seeking premarital or relationship counseling, medical patients experiencing chronic pain or illness, families of adolescents in the juvenile justice system, and people seeking personal growth, or empowerment.

Mary Gail Frawley-O'Dea
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
No two therapeutic journeys are alike. They reflect the unique interactions of the individuals involved in the process. Therapist and patient enter into a relationship through which, when things go well, "more" becomes possible: more life, more love, more play, more feelings, more thought, more choice, more reflection.
Specializing in work with adult survivors of childhood & adolescent sexual abuse, I combine psychodynamic, developmental, and trauma perspectives. The past can truly become past and the present freed to become reflective of the genuine talents, hopes, yearnings of the person with whom I journey.

Accepting New Clients. I help women and couples transcend their pain past of childhood and/or sexual trauma to create healthier parenting connections and interpersonal relationships. Are you and your partner struggling to relate to one another? Are you not feeling fulfilled with your current life? Do you feel disconnected from family and friends? Do you find it difficult to make and keep relationships? Do you give and give in hope others will give back to you? Do your thoughts and emotions stop you from moving forward? Does any of this cause you to spend more time alone or cloud your judgement?

Joseph Pope
Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, MS, LCMHC, LCAS
Verified
Sometimes we get stuck trying to make our pain go away. This leads to missing out on a rich and meaningful life, and often creates more suffering. What if you could have unhelpful thoughts and difficult feelings as part of your experience but not be controlled by them? When people find past attempts to reduce or control symptoms to be ineffective, I offer a different approach. I believe that there is meaning and value in emotional pain. I work with people to discover this meaning, and find ways to build a life based on creating meaning instead of avoiding pain.

Counselor, MA, LCMHC, NCC
Verified
You are done trying to manage the feelings and emotions you endured during a time in your life when you could not protect yourself- childhood trauma. Despite many attempts to “just get over it” the internalized pain feels agonizing and impacts you from connecting with others. You struggle with feelings of being "wrong", "bad" and "not enough". On the outside, you appear fine but inside it hurts at your core. Many aspects of your life have been impacted and you are done living your life this way; and are ready to release, resolve and evolve into a life full of passion and unmet potential- the life you desire and deserve!
