I specialize in OCD, Anxiety, Depression, Alcohol Addiction, Eating Disorders, Sleep/Insomnia, Stress, Self-esteem, Coping Skills, and Chronic Pain. I am trained in many different modalities such as, ERP, DBT, Mindfulness , Motivational Interviewing, CBT, and ACT, but I will tailor my therapy modality to the individual and find which approach will aid you the most to help accomplish any goals you might have.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by stress or spinning your wheels in worry? Are you eager to experiment with new actions and perspectives? I look forward to helping you move forward in the direction of your unique values. In addition to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), a first line evidence-based treatment for insomnia disorder, I offer therapy focused on anxiety, stress, and behavior change to improve health. I utilize a variety of therapy modalities including Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, solution-focused, and mindfulness -based.

Congratulations on embarking upon the next step in your journey! Each of these steps — every experience of bliss, fear, frustration, or sorrow — have all lead you to this very moment. The challenges and complexities of your day-to-day life may have lead you here. The traumas, losses, and heartaches of the past have, too. And while I would rather that each of us would be spared these experiences — it is my hope that I may have a chance to partner alongside you as you grow and, ideally, heal from each of them.

Hello! I am so glad you are here. I am a clinical social worker and am truly passionate about my work with individuals and couples.

My approach to therapy is warm, nonjudgmental, compassionate, and collaborative. I believe a safe therapeutic relationship is essential in providing effective, transformative therapy. I honor the individuality of my clients and know the courage it takes to come to therapy, and I firmly believe that it’s in our deepest struggles that we have the most potential for learning and growth. I am guided by the belief that everyone holds the ability within themselves to heal, and that together through a trusting therapeutic relationship, I can assist clients in their journeys towards being more deeply connected to themselves and others.

I have experience providing individual and group counseling, as well as completing psycho-educational evaluations. I use a person-centered approach, utilizing cognitive behavior strategies, solution based techniques, yoga, and mindfulness . I am certified in providing parenting support and Yoga for ages 4 through 19. My areas of focus are ADHD coaching for various ages and working with children and adolescents to improve self-esteem, behaviors, and life skills. I believe that a person can improve their overall quality of life by adjusting their perception, as well as how to communicate their emotions in a healthy way.

My name is MyiShanka Mya McMillian, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Motivational Speaker, Educator, & Transformation Coach. Like you, first and foremost, I am a human being with countless experiences that continue to shape life with beautiful highs and devastating lows.

We are all on a journey. Sometimes our path presents us with challenges that we find difficult to overcome without help. Do you feel stuck? Need to better understand negative patterns in your life? Are you having difficulty with an important relationship? The relationship you form with a therapist can help you navigate your path with strategies and tools to overcome life’s challenges. My focus, in therapy, is to help you expand and strengthen your resources by learning effective coping strategies. I work with adults and adolescents struggling with transitions, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, anger and relationship problems.

As a therapist and life coach, my goal is to help you feel both empowered and at peace with yourself and your life and to guide you on a positive path to growth and well-being. Through our work together, I seek to help you uncover your true self, find your voice, & align your values & life choices. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. Simultaneously I will introduce you to tools and strategies that may help you better navigate the stress and anxiety of life and hopefully enable you to experience greater peace, joy, and well being. 

Hello, I'm Fauzia, and I have been a practicing Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over three decades, working with children, adolescents, adults, and geriatric populations. My specialty areas are self care tool box, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, complex trauma, anxiety disorder, addiction and many other emotional issues that impact one's daily life. I use various interventions to help my client get the best results, each individual is different therefore not one approach works for all, and I have extensive experience in CBT, coping skills, mindfulness , insight, and self reflection among many others.

You made it! You may not feel like you’re making it right now-and that’s totally okay. However, take a moment to reflect that you’ve made it to THIS moment in search for hope, understanding, growth, and relief. You’ve already made it through frustration (scrolling through hundreds of strangers faces to find a therapist), hopelessness, sadness, anxiety, trauma, and much more. I want to walk beside you through the difficult feelings you’ve been experiencing to help you create a life that you don’t just make it through, but actually ENJOY!

My approach is warm and supportive and I view clients through a strengths-based lens. I understand that the challenges facing us today are stressful and unpredictable, and I will work in collaboration with you to help you regain balance, presence, and compassion for yourself in your personal growth.

I am licensed clinical psychologist and yoga teacher. I work with adults who are dealing with stressors or going through transitions. I have expertise in working with individuals who have experienced childhood and adult trauma and specialize in somatically-integrative care. I believe that each person is inherently resilient. I see therapy as a tool to help you discover your resilience, change unhelpful habits, heal wounds and grow into your potential. I think a strong therapeutic relationship is necessary for effective psychotherapy. I work in a client-centered way, collaborating with you on an individualized treatment plan.
