Alison Johnston Mistak
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
I am not able to take new clients at this time. Seeing a counselor doesn't mean you are "crazy" or weak. We all have times in our lives when we feel stuck and need help in getting ourselves or our family out of the patterns that aren't working for us. I strive to provide a personal, comfortable experience for my clients where they can learn to utilize their own strengths to develop the life and relationships they want. I hope to help people gain a better understanding of how their thoughts and experiences are influencing their emotions and provide practical feedback to guide you towards the life you want.

As a therapist, I believe in meeting my clients exactly where they are in their healing journey. Too frequently, we create unrealistic expectations of ourselves and find it difficult to give ourselves space to breathe. I enjoy helping my clients to utilize coping skills, restore emotional regulation, and challenge cognitive distortions. Most importantly, I strive to create a genuine atmosphere for my clients to engage in healing and change.

Life is hard right now--for everyone. You might be struggling personally or in your relationships (or both!), but you've come to the right place.

Whether you are clumsy, always “on the go”, have difficulty managing emotions and/or concentrating, or are sensitive to things like lights, sounds, food, or textures in clothing, occupational therapy may help with life’s day-to-day stressors. As an OT, I collaborate with children, adults, and their families to find and refine solutions for a more meaningful life. Using a client-centered approach, I use the strengths and interests of my client to help manage stress and improve areas of life that may be difficult.
Hilary Gallegos
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT
Verified
Life can be difficult during transitional periods or crisis situations. I meet clients where ‘they are’ in life. I collaborate with clients to identify the problem and the best possible solutions. I view myself as a coach rather than an expert. I will not have all the answers AND we can figure out how to improve the troubling situation.
Kyle Moore-Price
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LMSW
Verified
Too often the strain we put on ourselves to "get it right", or "have it all together", leaves us feeling more pressured, confused, and defeated than we started. I believe in creating a space where you can better come to know yourself, and feel empowered to live the life you want. I relish in helping my clients develop self-esteem, employ coping skills, and authentically express themselves to find confidence in their own voice, and move towards goals and actions that align with the person they want to be.

You look around and ask yourself “Is this really my life right now?” Some days are okay, some are uncomfortable, and others are intolerable. In the tough moments, the things you've tried before don't seem to work. Treading water was fine for a while, but you’re ready to swim. Maybe someone you cared about died. Maybe that inner critic voice is louder or more persistent than it has been before. Maybe your child’s thoughts and feelings are too big for them to handle.

Do you hate the idea of being in therapy? Are you cynical, skeptical, or burnt-out... but you know you've got to do *something*? I love working with people who question everything, are feeling “stuck,” or just hate traditional therapy. If you’ve been struggling but don’t quite know how to define “what’s wrong,” our work together can help you clarify the problem, and then find creative approaches to getting you back on track. We can get into the profound work if we need to, but sometimes it’s just a matter of telling your story in a different way – perhaps without even talking about it!

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, MHSP

I help millennial women that are driven to find their most authentic selves, and who possess a deep desire to live a life that's a true reflection of who they are and their values. Millennials find ourselves sandwiched between two very different generations. We're learning a brand new way of living. We want a life that leaves us feeling fulfilled, rather than empty. Inspired rather than soulless. To live a life driven by purpose and passion. Working together, we'll explore how to break free from any learned toxic relationship patterns, unhealthy societal expectations, and outdated gender roles.

Licensed Professional Counselor, MEd, LPC, MHSP

Breaking the stigma of mental health begins by choosing to be healthy for you. It's not easy to trust someone, especially when struggling with mental health because it makes us feel vulnerable. Please know vulnerability is not a weakness. My passion is helping and that includes creating a space that is comfortable and allows individuals to be their authentic selves. We all have a story that includes various experiences. I enjoy helping individuals to gain an understanding of their stories to provide them with clarity and empowerment. My experience includes domestic violence, trauma, anxiety, depression, and personality disorders.

Seeking help can be hard, but what can be even harder is walking through a difficult time or situation alone. Often times, struggles with things such as anxiety, poor decision making, or just not living true to one’s self is made worse when you are not supported. Having someone to talk to, sometimes outside of your social circle, may allow you to come through these times and situations faster, easier, and better than if you battle it alone. These discussions can help you identify further support systems and coping skills while also exploring action steps for your struggles.

My goal as a therapist is to help you find your true self and the ideal path for your life. Oftentimes, our true selves and paths get buried under the hurt from the past, the auto-pilot of the present, and the fears of the future. Together, we will address that which holds you back from your true self and path. I will support you as you explore thoughts, experiences, patterns, beliefs, and emotions; and together we will find and identify your inner strength so that you can feel more grounded and rooted in the person you want to become.

My work history includes providing rehabilitation services for incarcerated individuals, skilled nursing facilities, and inpatient and outpatient treatment for seniors and adults in a hospital setting. I work with ages 18 and up and my specialities include all issues related to seniors, caregivers, grief, depression, anxiety, and postpartum support.

As an OT, I work with children and adults - with or without a formal diagnosis - to help them feel more calm and comfortable in their bodies so that they can participate successfully and happily in everyday life. I use a sensory integration approach and work with children and adults whose difficulties may look like: sensitivity to textures or sounds, limited diet, clumsiness or poor coordination, easily overwhelmed, difficulty maintaining attention, or trouble with change/transitions.
