Maybe you've come to leave yourself alone with the bigger struggles in your life. Perhaps you were taught early on that your problems aren't that important or interesting - or maybe you learned that no one was really capable of helping you anyway. Over time, you developed the ability to appear as if you're totally fine. Nothing to see here! Maybe you're even excelling in some parts of your life. But the weight of these lifelong struggles is now becoming too much to bear alone.

Sue Wendelin is a Licensed Family and Marriage Therapist (LMFT) who has over 36 years of professional experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families with a wide variety of treatment needs. She specializes in assisting clients who are struggling with career-related issues, coping skills, family conflict, grief, mental stress, parenting, academic issues, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger issues, behavioral issues, bipolar disorder, and more.

I provide safe supportive therapy. I help individuals find a clear sense of the direction that they want to go in their life and work through the obstacles that might get in the way. Whether it is old narratives, past traumas, relationship issues, or low self-esteem, our work focuses on learning new resources and skills to work through to new possibilities.

Life is everchanging. My clients are experiencing challenges that require them to change in order to go forward. Some clients are interested in dreams and personal growth over time. Others want some immediate support to help them sort out the difficulties they currently face: whether it be the loss of a relationship, a career, a difficult illness, or some other major change in one's orientation to life. I have a depth and breadth of experience working with people of all stripes and in both law and social work: that is, people who have been stuck in some very difficult places. I value individuality and wholeness--not perfection.

I believe healing can take root and grow merely by having your story heard. Each person's story is unique, therefore your therapy is tailored specifically to YOUR needs. Are you ready to take the first step towards HOPE, and become HOPE FILLED? Let’s begin.....

Most of us need help with personal challenges or relationship issues at some point in our lives. Maybe an important relationship begins to fail, or we can't seem to navigate through a major transition or loss. Sometimes anxiety or depression descends and just won't go away. I have helped hundreds of clients through difficult times like these with skill and compassion. In my practice, you will find a safe, non-judgmental place to share your thoughts and feelings, reach a deeper understanding of your problem, and find new ways of coping. We will work together to get your life back on track.

There are times in everyone's life when we feel stuck, unsure, or worried about what we need to do to get our life moving forward in a positive direction. These are the moments when a therapist can support, encourage, or even carefully confront you to take the next steps on your life journey. I work with clients to create an emotionally safe environment in which to explore your options and help you draw upon your inner resources to regain balance, energy, and focus.

Ready to roll up your sleeves and make a transformative shift in your life? Acknowledging that our personal history often obscures rather than informs who we are, Kelly specializes in redefining perception: assisting individuals with trauma recovery & couples with intimacy-rebuilding with insight and useful techniques for bypassing roadblocks. She helps people hone their anger management skills and address the flip side of the coin: initiating the healing process after someone has endured physical, emotional, or sexual abuse.

I often work with clients who struggle to accept and feel compassion for their whole self. Sometimes that can look like trying to shut out painful experiences, worrying that something is "wrong" with you, or struggling to connect with your true desires and feelings. I offer clients a warm space to process the injuries they carry from the broader world and from the intimate world of family, friends, and other relationships. I invite clients to bring the complete selves, even the parts that are hard to be with. I strive to provide the tools and support to help clients connect to a fuller sense of aliveness and groundedness.

Cassandra Cantu is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate (LPCA), being supervised by Asha Johnson LPC-S, who has worked with adolescents and adults in different settings (e.g., community, collegiate, and prison) addressing various issues including, but not limited to: anxiety, depression, social anxiety, life transitions, self-compassion and mindfulness, identity, human sexuality, grief and loss, relationship and family communication issues, substance abuse and addiction, disordered eating, technology use-related issues, and others.

I use a person centered approach that puts you in the drivers seat as I empathetically provide guidance from the passenger seat through curiosity, patience, and authenticity. As a researcher and clinician, I'm not a touchy/feely therapist who speaks in sterile therapist jargon or feel good proverbs, so I best work with clients who are willing to do the work by vulnerably exploring and addressing underlying issues contributing to current suffering. We would be a good fit if you are ready to explore paths to healing and improving overall quality of life through collaborative, solution focused strategies, trust, and a bit of humor!

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re looking into therapy as a next step in your life. Finding a new therapist can be a daunting process, but it’s ultimately a rewarding one. I hope this page can give you a bit more encouragement and information for your search. I’ve provided therapy for ten years across a range of settings, including family/couples guidance centers, VA clinics, and university counseling centers — and I’ve learned that therapy looks different for each client. At the end of the day, though, I believe good therapy boils down to three basic ingredients: Building a relationship, telling your story, and taking action together.

The thought about talking to a stranger about what’s going on is terrifying. When the process involves an honest conversation about symptoms, family problems, and addiction or other “shameful” family secrets, it can keep anyone from healing. You were taught to keep it to yourself and not cause trouble. To not air family secrets and that emotions are dramatic and useless. Especially the biggest of all- grief. There is nobody that gets to escape grief in this process. It's a myth that any of it has to be painful or overwhelming. And struggling with feelings or needing to heal doesn't make you weak.Nobody taught you how to do this.

At times, it can feel like the world is spinning out of control. Whether it be our personal and professional lives, interpersonal relationships, navigating a series of collective and systemic traumas, or a mixture of these things. Sometimes we are looking for ways to improve our situation, other times we are looking to find acceptance and to sit with what's out of our control. Sometimes we can find ways to distract from these things, and then there are instances where we need to face them head on. How do we know what we need to do, and when?

You're here because you're hurting. Maybe it's from a past abusive relationship -- romantic or otherwise. Perhaps you had a neglectful, dismissive, or intrusive parents. Maybe you experienced sexual abuse. Whatever the reason, you find yourself anxious, numb, or just plain overwhelmed by your feelings. Sometimes you find it hard to enjoy life, the past keeps coming up. You find yourself wishing you didn't feel the things you do. You're afraid that there's something wrong with you because you can't get over it. I'm here to tell you that there's hope. Therapy can help with these issues and you don't have to do it alone.

You may be interested in counseling because of some specific issue or it could be a vague sense that something in your life is off. We often try to avoid painful or uncomfortable emotions, such as sadness, anger, resentment or grief. But doing so renders them difficult to work through. I can help you develop the tools to enhance your relationships with self and other, undo unhelpful patterns, and improve your overall quality of life.

I now provide counseling exclusively by video chat. Give me a call and we can talk about how this works and make sure its a good fit for you! I work with adults and teenagers, and I specialize in working with individuals who live and work creatively. Many of my clients are musicians, writers, artists, actors, dancers, either professionally or for enjoyment. I believe that a person's creative voice is often a powerful force in working through pain and suffering. I also have extensive experience working with college students and young adults, helping my clients to feel more sure of their identity and purpose.
