Counseling can be an opportunity to experience a greater quality of life. I enjoy helping others to reach that place. Providing clinical counseling for over 25 years, I've assisted survivors with all forms of trauma, anxiety and stress disorders. My practice has included working with military members and families as well as providing counseling to many Spanish speaking Latino populations . My specialties range from employee assistance for work related stress, issues of addiction to all substances including gambling and also working with the trauma of immigration. I can also provide evaluations for immigration hearings.

To become more intimate or connected to others, we need to improve the quality of connection to ourselves. I work with children, teens and adults. I specialize in working with individuals who are seeking personal empowerment in their lives. There are many life events, situations, or relationships that interfere with one's sense of empowerment. When feeling disempowered, one's capacity to access a full self becomes limited.

We all face challenges in our lives and sometimes need extra help and support to help us overcome them. I offer a safe, judgement-free space to explore even the most difficult matters. My style is relational and collaborative. One of the most important aspects for achieving success in therapy is the relationship between the therapist and the client. I believe that you are the expert on yourself and your family and that you hold the key to achieving the life you want to live.

I can provide help to resolve trauma that you have experienced. I treat trauma with EMDR, and now the newest treatment, Flash Technique therapy. Flash can resolve trauma without going through the details of the events! Call me to learn more about this.

Is your marriage or partnership showing signs of stress? Not sure if blending families is a good idea? Over 60% of blended families in the U.S. do not succeed and this impacts children's mental health. I help couples in conflict or who have grown apart create a more loving home using evidence-based methods, including the Gottman Method, Terry Real's Relational Life and Bader-Pearson Couples Therapy. I utilize compassion- and mindfulness-based methods to improve your parenting AND your partnership at the same time, while addressing the underlying causes of conflicts. I work primarily with adults.

Many people find themselves repeating the same patterns- reactive triggers, relational issues, struggles with addictions, moods, anxieties- even after years of therapy, and other body/mind practices. i have found that if we can identify one or more of these patterns (in daily life),we can follow the thread of each pattern to resolve it at its (oftentimes traumatic) roots. I help you to explore and transform one or more core patterns in your self and life, to develop new capacities and reawaken deep soul qualities. This body-experiential process enables you to release the energy bound within patterns- and recover your inner spirit.

It can be common for many of us to struggle with multiple sources of stress that cause us to feel overwhelmed, anxious, and depressed. Sometimes having experienced traumatic events, unhealthy relationships, or a sense of isolation can leave us feeling disconnected and dissatisfied. Difficult life circumstances can take our feet out from under us and move us off course, taking us further away from the life we want.

We all have hardships in our lives that at times feel insurmountable. I believe in each of our abilities to meet these obstacles, learn from them and turn them into some of our greatest opportunities for growth. As we work together in an authentic, safe and nurturing environment, my hope is that you will gain insight, tools, strength and self compassion that will help you and your relationships flourish.

I believe that therapy can be a powerful tool to build upon or develop skills to manage life's many twists and trials. Therapeutic work can also be extremely effective in improving and changing our relationships. I strive to create a comfortable and supportive environment where individuals feel seen, heard, and respected. I love the work that I do and I believe it is really important to maintain a level of hope that positive change can occur in your life. This hope is especially important for those who've been impacted by trauma and abuse and for new parents struggling to find their way, both populations I have a passion to serve.

You deserve to experience a life that is authentic, connected, and rich with meaning. It takes courage to rewrite your story from a place of disconnection, struggle, and fear, transforming it into a narrative full of empowerment, growth, and healing.

Hi! I’m Meaghan, I’ve been working with individuals, families, and couples for the past 12 years overcome depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, substance abuse, codependency and more.

For 35 years I have worked with children, couples, individuals, and families in providing a supportive, educational and safe place to find answers to life's challenges. Separation is the hardest lesson in life and with each separation we experience there is an opportunity to grow and become the best we can be. Separations like divorce, losing a loved one, struggling with work issues, addictions, disconnect from family members or feeling alone in this large and busy world, it will be my privilege to listen, support and provide the counseling, mediation and guidance you may be seeking at this time.

Are you looking for fulfillment? Want to end your pain? Are you sick and tired and feeling sick and tired? I am here to help. I have been providing psychotherapy since 2004. I have helped individuals, couples, and families feel restored, empowered, and able to make positive changes that last. When I offer help and guidance I like to quote the Bible in this metaphor of bringing beauty from ashes.

Welcome! My name is Liz Trockey (she/her) and I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist who likes to use compassion, awareness building, and humor to support my clients in finding alignment within themselves. I believe that the client-therapist relationship is invaluable and recognize the privilege and honor of being able to witness emotional, relational, and spiritual growth. In the past four years, I have gained experience working with children, teens, and adults and utilize an attachment-based, trauma-informed approach to help clients find kindness and compassion for themselves.

After a 25 year career in teaching, I decided to go to grad school. In 2009 I earned my MS in counseling. I have been in practice as an MFT for 10 years. I love being a therapist. It is fulfilling a life-long dream of mine and I find it so gratifying and rewarding.

I work with sensitive children, teenagers and young adults who struggle with expressing themselves, experience anxiety and depression, and have difficulties in voicing their needs in relationships with family and friends and school. Many clients I work with can begin to miss out and avoid opportunities for growth and may experience fear and lack confidence to take chances and try new things. In my approach, I strive to provide a relaxed and judgment free zone for clients to build up their ability to express themselves, develop an understanding of their wants and needs, and begin to participate in life more with new found confidence.

Hello and welcome. My name is Dr. James and I am a licensed psychologist working with kids, adults, and families in therapy. If your child or teen struggles with managing big and difficult feelings, low self-esteem, relationship or school issues, or if you are someone who worries about everything, put others before yourself, or thinks you are not good enough or can't do anything right, then you are in the right place! Many people enter my office wanting to live their best lives but not knowing where or how to start. I am here to help guide you or your child on that journey.

Your ease, your vitality, your happiness, your well-being - your joy within yourself and within your relationships - are available to you, within you. Life presents challenges, obstacles, and suffering also, through which we take to heart and mind and we grow. Therapy is a journey of self and life understanding. We take this journey of growth and self-and-other understanding together to address the issues you choose, which may be creating current or chronic distress in your life. Hidden in your biggest problems may be your most vibrant gifts.
