"Whether you are experiencing a major life transition or looking to fine-tune your daily life, I believe counseling and art therapy are effective tools to help you move through your life more skillfully and with greater zest. The therapeutic relationship we will form creates a space where you can explore your life with greater curiosity, hope and accountability than you may be able to on your own. I know that you have the tools you need to address life challenges, and as your therapist, I can help you rediscover those tools and build upon them with a few ideas of my own."

"I aim to co-create the conditions for waking up and realizing the beauty and radiant Life that you already are. In the midst of your current suffering from past traumatic events and/or addictions this may seem like an impossible or distant dream. I am Somatic Psychotherapist and Mindfulness Practitioner. I facilitate mindful awareness of body sensations through to a range of somatic body mind interventions based on the latest knowledge in neurobiology. In accessing your body and mind's innate wisdom you will be able to release the effects of trauma and be free from compulsions and obsessions."

"As a seasoned psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience, I work with both individuals and couples. I am experienced and comfortable working with a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, trauma or abuse, stress, and life transitions. It is certainly not necessary though to have identified a problem in order to meet with me, as I also work with people who are feeling stuck or unfulfilled in life to find ways to move forward differently. Couples most often contact me to work through relationship problems that have arisen, improve communication, and restore the connection."

"My intention as a therapist is to provide compassionate witness, to ask questions that grow awareness, and to support you in deeply knowing and caring for yourself. Trauma, oppression, and habitual patterns hold many of us back. Counseling is a place where we can face our pain and empower ourselves to show up authentically. This is sacred work. Welcome."

"TELEMEDICINE OPENINGS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. I believe that therapy is most effective when it is empathic, collaborative, non-judgemental and non-pathologizing. I am deeply interested in the uniqueness of each human being who comes to me. By talking together in ways which nurture curiosity, compassion and insight we will look at what troubles you, what brings you hope, and which patterns of thinking/feeling/being you are engaging in that are not serving you well now."

"Would you like to feel more connected to yourself, others and the world you live in? Sometimes difficult moods, thoughts or circumstances seem to take over our lives and it's hard to remember what it's like to feel fully alive. I work with you, to help you access more of your authentic self, which can result in the alleviation of symptoms and help you better navigate life's challenges. "

Trauma and the losses we experience in life can wound us on every level - physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. My desire is to see you pick up the pieces and create a beautiful life beyond the struggle of grief, anxiety, postpartum difficulties, infertility, disordered eating, childhood abuse, and other painful life events.

"***** TeleHealth sessions ***** Almost all of us experience anxiety at some point. For some of us, it occurs on a daily basis. Does anxiety get in your way? Do you feel stuck? Anxiety can interfere with our ability to perform at our best. This can lead to low self-esteem/self-worth, relationship issues, job and/or school related stress, difficulty concentrating, fear of failure, fear of rejection, and engagement in non-productive coping methods such as excessive worry, binge eating, intense social media use, smoking, and other behavioral concerns. "

"Life can be complex: relationships, family, school, work. Our lives can be further challenged by the unique aspects of our times. We are under constant bombardment of information, straining our ability to focus and compartmentalize. Factors such as trauma, shame and guilt further complicate things. My approach is to help "break it down and make it simple". This means helping people untangle their thoughts, pressures and feelings, while collaboratively devising plans aimed at learning to manage and alleviate whatever symptoms are causing distress."

"Hello and welcome. My name is Vicki Garrison, and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC). I deeply value my work as a clinician and providing services in a manner that meets your needs. As such, my work is grounded in establishing a genuine therapeutic relationship with you and maintaining a safe, warm, nonjudgmental, confidential, inclusive, and empowering therapeutic environment."

"Currently full, short waitlist available- We all have many moments where need to sit with someone safe, objective, and curious while we move through some messy parts, or good parts... or messy good parts of life. While working together we will build a space where we identify your strengths and goals, challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and build up the snazzy things that make you, well... you. Each step along the way we will honor the fact you are the expert of your life. Clients often find my style personable, honest, relaxed, realistic and offbeat in an endearing way within an all body/sex/gender/abilities positive space. "

"I work with individuals who desire change in their life and want to experience a greater sense of well being and inner peace. As your therapist, I act as a guide, collaborating and helping you to access the larger sense of who you really are in the world, assisting in the process of deep internal discovery, and ensuring that our time together unfolds at a pace that brings about the change you desire. I create a safe, confidential and respectful environment and support you in your journey to overcome whatever you struggle with, or are challenged by in your life."

"I provide a safe, confidential space for our work together. Each person seeks a therapist for their own personal reasons. Whether you feel stuck at an impasse, want more satisfying relationships, or seek freedom from difficult patterns- no matter your struggle, having a place to think and talk about what is bothering you may help. The outcome of therapy is unpredictable, though it often results in a greater sense of well-being and eases internal conflict. Together we can seek to understand what is going on and explore possibilities not previously considered."

"I practice Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which addresses problems that result from intense emotions. All people lack some skills to regulate, tolerate, and communicate emotions-- my job is to help you identify your skills gaps and learn new, more helpful ways of responding to emotions. I believe that clients come to therapy when problems have become overwhelming. Thus, therapy with me is not just a supportive place to be heard (though that's part of it!). It is a process of learning and relearning thoughts and behaviors to get un-stuck and feel more in control of our lives and choices."
