I work with adults (17+) with anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD.

The Family Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD
Verified
A child (all ages) goes from a less structured environment (home) to school. This can be a challenge on so many levels. The system is desiring for conformity and the child does not wish to leave it's creativity side. So teaching those special kids (all ages) to navigate their own forest of confusion. Their issues are many at so many levels, feeling lost, unaccepted and ultimately not valued. This harms their self worth, identity, and perception of how they fit in or whether they fit in at all. They want to discern on how to find those who they need to fit in with. This is a life long process of the search.
Allana Johnson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MEd, LPC
Verified
As a licensed professional counselor, I feel my job is to help individuals generate creative solutions to problem areas in life, while providing support and empowerment. I believe that every human deserves the right to have a life that is worth living. Sometimes outside help is needed to generate that life. I strive to work with clients on gaining a better understanding of themselves and their behaviors, pull from their strengths, find courage to face discomfort and change, and free themselves of any emotional burdens. We will set realistic goals together and work to remove internal/external barriers to these.

Nurturing Divergence Counseling & Wellness LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC, RPT, CPCS, NCC
Verified
My experience with working with clients of a variety of ages and needs has contributed to a passion in treating clients with trauma histories and rocky transitions. Most of my experience has been with children, adolescents, and adults who have experienced trauma in their past and are wanting to move forward in their lives to meet their goals. So often, anxiety, mood swings, and depression are tied to these trauma histories. Moving forward can bring much freedom and relief from these symptoms. I've been told by many clients that they feel safe and accepted by me and that I work well with clients who "dislike therapy".

Diane K Kim
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LMSW
Verified
I draw from
acceptance
and commitment therapy to empower my clients and help them become the person they want to be.
As an Asian-American, I grew up in a community where mental health was highly stigmatized and seldom talked about. I understand how difficult it can be for people to even have the language to describe their suffering. I also understand how important cultural factors play in the way we contextualize our life experiences and choices.
Cal Hilsman
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LISW-CP
Verified
Mental health is steadily gaining global recognition. Fortunately, with exposure comes greater access to treatment for those with mental health concerns. Unfortunately, the flip-side to increased exposure is standardization; society is quick to turn to diagnoses and labels to simplify the complexities of human beings. Although diagnoses can be helpful, it is important to remember: you are not just not a label or a diagnosis. With Cal Hilsman at Compassionate
Acceptance
for Life (CAL), you will find a therapist that prizes each client as unique and encourages self exploration beyond the standard internet search.

Verified
I work using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT),
Acceptance
and Commitment Therapy (
ACT
), and Reality Therapy techniques, which I believe can encourage progress for those seeking support and change.
Life is full of ups and downs. It throws us curve balls when we least expect it and seems to give us more things to worry about every day. It can feel so overwhelming that we get lost in our thoughts, feel frozen in our next steps, or simply start overflowing our emotions onto others. None of this is who you truly are. You’ve just gotten buried under it all and aren’t sure how to get out. I bet you spend a lot of time trying to shut out the thoughts, stop the feelings, and pretend they don’t exist only to find that they feel bigger and stronger.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a type of psychotherapy that helps you accept the difficulties that come with life. ACT is a form of mindfulness based therapy, theorizing that greater well-being can be attained by overcoming negative thoughts and feelings. Essentially, ACT looks at your character traits and behaviors to assist you in reducing avoidant coping styles. ACT also addresses your commitment to making changes, and what to do about it when you can't stick to your goals.
