I believe we all have the potential to grow through challenges. Rather than living in distress, we can find ways to ease through the difficulties of life. Through my work with cancer patients, I developed a therapeutic framework based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients with various issues move from distress toward peace. In addition, I understand that one size does not fit all, so I use an integrative approach that draws from several disciplines.

Thank you for taking the first step in mental health self-care; so tell me, how are you? No really, how are you? If the answer is not great, maybe it’s time to open up an honest dialogue about starting therapy. I'm Scarlett; I am the owner and therapist at Grounded Guidance Counseling, PLLC, where I provide outpatient therapy services to individuals and couples. I strive to meet my clients exactly where they are emotionally in a professional but relatable manner, as I desire to break down barriers that could make therapy feel intimidating for anyone involved.

Clients dealing with relationship issues, current and/or past family conflict, chronic / invisible illness, immune / autoimmune / sleep disorders, adjusting to new diagnoses, caregiver fatigue, and having to work when you are ill and/or grieving tend to find my approach both different and helpful. I have experienced these issues myself and am familiar with the challenges they create in our personal and professional lives. I focus on helping clients cope with these difficulties in the context of our most valued relationships.

Do you feel like emotions control you instead of you controlling them? Has being perceived felt exhausting? Feel like life feels heavier than it's supposed to? I'm here to support you. It's okay to feel like you need to be heard, have someone to talk things through with, celebrate the little wins in life, and hold you accountable to the goals you want to succeed in. As a queer therapist, I understand the unique challenges and traumas of living authentically in a world that often marginalizes our identities. My work is focused on being neuroaffirmative, LGBTQIA+ affirmative, trauma-informed, and culturally competent for all.

I understand that no two roadmaps are the same and I honor that by taking an eclectic approach to therapy.

My therapeutic approach encourages personal growth and provides opportunities for clients to learn information and skills to help them find a more balanced, meaningful life. I believe that the clients are the true experts in their lives, so I work with my client to establish a treatment plan that is specific to their identified needs and goals. I believe there is no “one size fits all” form of therapy. I pull from a variety of modalities so that I can tailor treatment to your specific needs. As a first-generation Asian American, I understand and have experienced mental health stigma.

Sometimes we are exhausted by the headwinds of life or find ourselves nursing a broken wing, and we need a nest to land in. Counseling provides a safe, non-judgmental place to rest for a bit and examine the unique journey you are on. I use thought-provoking questions and imaginative exercises to help you adjust your trajectory and discover a new way to fly. My experience includes working with children who have gone through traumatic experiences (abuse, domestic violence, etc.), college students, and individuals experiencing religious trauma, cultural transition, and self-esteem issues.
