Tamra White
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC-S
Verified
I specialize in several areas of human behavior, including depression, anxiety, marriage/divorce, as well as
child
/adolescent counseling.
It takes courage to reach out for assistance. I acknowledge that, and welcome you to an environment that asks questions, and promotes change! In my practice, I strive to make the client feel safe, comfortable, and understood from the moment we meet. The quality of the connection between the client and the therapist is fundamental to emotional growth and genuine change. I understand that there are certain feelings, problems, relationship dynamics and behaviors that one would like to feel better about as soon as possible. My practice does not ignore one's need for change in the here and now!
Kristin Castillo
Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, LPC-A
Verified
I specialize in working with
children
and people of all ages to help them work through and deal with whatever issues they are facing.
Connecting with the people in our lives is what makes us human. It’s what makes us grow, understand, shift perspective, and be more kind. But sometimes it’s hard and we need a little help. I hope to be the person that can come into you or your families life and guide you through connecting again with trust, patience, and love. I also specialize in working with clients from Hispanic and Latin backgrounds. It is a way that I stay connected to who I am and to my culture. Through this I am able to help those with similar backgrounds break through the stigma of mental health and build healthy relationships.

Have you had a situation happen that has caused deep emotional or physical pain? Has the pain been pushing you to the breaking point? Pain can come in many forms both emotional and physical and the strategies we use to deal with it often make the problem worse rather than better. Are you unsure what to do or where to go? Is your desire to get out of the pain but you are afraid that it can't get better? I can tell you from experience that ignoring it doesn't help but I do know that there are lots of strategies to get through it. I’d like the opportunity to show you how to turn your breakdown into a BREAKTHROUGH!

Monica Munoz
Psychologist, PsyD, LP, LSSP
Verified
You are capable of healing. My goal is to holistically identify how a person's trauma and life events have impacted who they are today. My ideal client is ready to start identifying the patterns in their life that are interfering with getting what they want. I primarily work with Adults, Adolescents, Young Adults, and their parents and families. I work with a wide range of trauma, anxiety, and depression, however, I see these issues as how a person survives, adapts, and responds to their circumstance.
Therron Hume
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
Despite the vast amounts of challenges that life may throw our way, I truly believe that mental flexibility and perseverance may be cultivated by anyone who would seek it. It allows one to bend in the winds of change without breaking, while adjusting and evaluating new wisdoms and perspectives that may be applied to one's life situations. The mind of an individual can be as flexible as one's ability to imagine it to be, when given the support and permission to do so through my integrative and pragmatic approach to therapy.
Positive Pathways Counseling And Family Services
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, CCPT
Verified
As a professional counselor, I believe in the power of each individual to overcome barriers that prevent their life pathway from taking a more positive direction. I am invested in creating a calm and safe haven where growth and improvement can occur. Using a person-centered approach requires understanding the perspective patients have about issues in their lives to foster open, honest communication within a therapeutic relationship. When people feel comfortable expressing their emotions, an effective counselor is able to gain knowledge of how that person views their problems.

Bryant L Guidry
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC-S
Verified
Counseling is recommended for those that may be currently experiencing some type of unwanted or unmanageable emotional or "thinking" difficulty that requires the assistance of a trained mental health professional. Seeking counseling should never carry a negative stigma or feelings of shame. Counseling is a therapeutic process for individuals that may have diagnosed or undiagnosed mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, bi-polar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, or difficulty in building and maintaining heathy relationships.
Coaching is recommended for those that are looking for less intensive guidance in assisting them to enhance their own personal performance.
