My work focuses on building a collaborative relationship with my clients that meets each individual where they are in their healing journey and personal development. Transitioning periods of life can be difficult to navigate, and sometimes they come with obstacles that may be too challenging to face alone. I am here to help with that process, using a holistic framework that will encourage mindful living and facilitate room for positive growth and change in your life. But it all starts with your story and your own unique experiences, which is what we will focus on and build our plan from.

I meet my clients where they are on their journey. My job is to support, encourage, and empower you. The healing journey is multi-faceted, multi-layered, and often unpredictable. However, there are signposts and milestones along the way and I combine my education, training, and skillset to help my clients journey with more ease and success. I help my clients process and overcome the effects of trauma using EMDR and somatic therapies. Allowing ourselves to trust and more fully embody our true self is a process of opening, letting go, receiving, and taking courageous steps.

The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. -Nelson Mandela. Sometimes we really want growth, change and/or to just feel better, but the fear of change is real. Men, in particular men of color, find seeking help as a sign of weakness. One of the bravest things you could ever do and the rewards are limitless when you face this challenge. If you are up for the challenge, I am ready to assist!

Fortunately, we have the ability to heal ourselves through the process of change. I practice from a trauma-informed perspective and have experience in a variety of areas, but primarily, my focus is with anxiety, infidelity, couples & marriage concerns, depression, personality development, identity, stress, men's issues, and peer-to-peer relationships.

Sometimes we feel lost and stuck in our lives. We have pain and trauma that feel unbearable. It can feel hopeless. There is a path forward. My name is Matt Hebert and I am passionate about helping others find the healing, peace, and self-acceptance that allows them to live a fulfilling and happy life. I want you to have a safe space to renew—or discover entirely—your life’s meaning. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples with various mental health and wellness concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, sexuality, intimacy, religious deconstruction, religious trauma, and life transitions.

I approach counseling with a profound belief that a trusting relationship between you and I is the foundation for growth, healing and change. My priority is to create a safe and welcoming environment that supports personal growth through understanding, collaboration and meaningful goal-setting.

Clients that seek therapy services with Me would mostly have psychosocial issues that make it hard for them to cope and/or find balance internally, at home, work and/or school and also with their spouse and/or family members (nuclear or extended). Although I know, all change doesn't look the same, the clients goals would mirror that of the, "Stages of Change". Clients would choose Me because we'd individualize their plan of care to their needs and ultimately help facilitate change and the progression of the issues that originally made them seek out therapy.

I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I have experience working with individuals with behavioral disorders, mild depression, anxiety, and behavioral concerns, as well as with those looking for parenting skills and coping skills. It is my goal and responsibility to ensure and foster emotional and cognitive growth to clients and their families. Through a collaborative effort, we will work to explore and define present problems with client situations, develop future goals, personally and emotionally, and achieve success and personal fulfillment.

Everyone has the capacity to make changes in their lives to promote healing and peace. The therapist role is to foster and guide that process by offering alternative outlooks on life circumstances, and identify individual strengths to promote positive behavioral changes and ways of thinking. These changes come through the development of a sincere, honest relationship between client and therapist. I am non-judgemental and dedicated to every person who comes to me for help. I believe that each of us is resilient with the ability to overcome any of lifes obstacles.

My goal is to provide clients with a non-judgmental, empathetic, genuine and collaborative environment. I believe that a mutually trusting relationship between client and counselor is primary to personal change. With all clients, my goal is to have a safe, and comfortable environment in which clients can freely explore new ideas and resolve problems. Effective therapy can be a powerful way to achieve happiness, acceptance, and a greater satisfaction with life. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work with individuals on issues pertaining to anxiety, depression, relationships, self-actualization, anger, self-esteem, and grief.

Hi! My name is Elizabeth deVargas. Are you ready to make individual, relationship, and/or family changes? Through the counseling process, I will provide an atmosphere of openness, trust, and support in which you may choose to examine and change patterns or behaviors that are currently not working for you. I believe that as people become personally responsible for their interactions and behavior, they are more capable of finding happiness and contentment. Counseling is a collaborative process in which we will work together towards mutually agreed upon goals.

I have worked in the mental health for 7 years. I am a direct and very realistic therapist, and this comes from a place of care, kindness, & a willingness to challenge old thinking patterns & habits that may be hindering you from achieving your goals. I work well with clients who have felt stuck, stagnant in life circumstances, & are struggling to figure out their purpose & feeling fulfilled in their life. Areas I am experienced working with include: self-esteem issues, identity concerns, communication skills, boundary & relationship concerns, positive self-talk, anxiety issues, & depression management.

I am a licensed professional counselor with a background working with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families.

I have worked with families with divorce and help with parenting. I am certified in Trauma Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Hypnotherapy. If you or your children find it challenging to adjust to changes in life, I might be able to help. My approach is Eclectic, as I believe is compatibility of theory with personality.

Whether you have previously seen other therapists or if this is your first time seeking help, I am an active and curious therapist which tends to make it a little easier to engage in this process. I believe that every one of us deserves to live the fullest life we can, even with the very real obstacles that stand in our way. I also believe that struggling is an inherent part of being human. The way we interact with our past, current situation, and dreams and goals can actually lead to increased suffering instead of moving closer to what we want.

As a dedicated and empathetic counselor, I am committed to facilitating positive change and personal growth in individuals and couples.

Some of the skills that I help my clients develop in session are: identifying emotions, improving coping skills, building communication and strengthening relationships.
