Counselor, MA, LMHC

Our beliefs, behavior patterns, and perceptions can prevent us from living a fulfilling and meaningful life. Noticing how we think and identifying life values can provide a compass for living and give us direction, away from anxiety and depression. We can be empowered by choices about where our mind would take us.

Changes in Action
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LICSW, MAC, CDP
Verified
I am very interactive with my clients. I incorporate both dydactic work as well as experiential assignments. I use the Brief Therapy model and I believe in "working myself out of job" with clients i.e. short term work, hard-hitting and then people need to move on into the universe using the skills/techniques taught and used in therapy. I am actively involved in the therapy process and I hold a high bar i.e. I want my clients to be and do the best that they can do/be. I love to work on codepency issues, relationshiop issues & self-care.

Matthew Fregoso
Mental Health Counselor Associate, LMHCA

It is my therapeutic belief that for change to occur, one must learn to be themselves fully. This belief has allowed me success in assisting clients who suffer from anxiety, mild to severe depression, trauma, couple/family conflicts, and challenging life transitions. I have been especially successful with those that have had prior negative therapy experiences as my therapy is highly collaborative and strives to empower the client’s voice and goals.

Bezzio Counseling, PLLC
Counselor, LMHC, NCC, CMHS
Verified
My approach to Mental Health Counseling is to view the client as expert in their own life. I do not play the role of expert in my client's lives. I do, however act as a guide, advocate, educator, and support person. What I will do is attempt to see your issues from your perspective and your view of the world. I work within the framework of Person-Centered Therapy, which focuses on the client being the expert, Existential Therapy, which focuses on behavior and looks at how the client thinks, feels, and behaves and the impact they have on others.
Grayson Lein
Counselor, MA, LMHCA
Verified
I greatly enjoy working with young and/or emerging adults, working professionals, differently-abled individuals, and any or all intersections of the above. While I specialize in working with the above populations, you do not need to be a member of any of those identities to seek counseling from me. I love working with clients to introduce ways of understanding their problems from a biological standpoint, and to discover effective methods of coping with challenges. When we understand how you experience the perception of a problem in the moment, we can work together to meet your desired outcomes.

Melissa Rudolf
Counselor, LMHCA, MA, MHP
Verified
I recognize the significant impact of trauma on adults, children, and families. My passion is supporting parents, children, and families not only in their present healing. I aim to give insight into their own struggles to heal the inter-generational trauma and heal future generations. It stops with you. Systemic therapy looks at not just about the individual, but their family, community, the larger societal values and how that power, privilege, and inequity impacts the person in the therapy room with me.
Jeanne Heather Wicomb
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CEDS-S
Verified
This is a tele-health practice. Everyone deserves a safe space to explore their human experience and to make peace with themselves and their situation. Life will send curve balls. We get out of balance and move through life disconnected and unhappy, consumed by constant worry. We judge ourselves harshly and become filled with self-loathing. We can get stuck or frozen in trying to figure out what to do next. Therapy is a place to clarify your values and move towards a more congruent life. I can help you find your path, accept yourself, and build healthy relationships. You will receive evidence-based tools to build your skill set.
Heather Hanson Broome
Counselor, MA, LMHC
Verified
Are you fighting more than connecting? Have you lost the spark with your partner? Are you wondering where the sexual passion has gone? Do you feel like you have nothing left to give? All people possess what it is they need to thrive. Sometimes we find ourselves stuck in painful patterns and we have difficulty finding the answers to our problems. Deciding to try something different like therapy, is not always easy but it is worth the effort. Together we can find ways to help you realize that you are your greatest asset.
Jane Ellen Miller
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
Are you tired of never seeming to feel good enough- no matter how hard you try or how much you accomplish? Are you physically and emotionally exhausted from trying to be everything to everyone? Or are you tired of beating yourself up over every mistake? If this sounds like you then I want you to know that you're not alone. These are common characteristics of someone who struggles with perfectionism and setting boundaries, which is what I specialize in! Each of us is a work in progress. I believe that therapy is oriented towards two outcomes: alleviating suffering and promoting human growth. My goal is help you achieve these outcomes
