I’m an EMDR-certified therapist with additional certification in perinatal mental health (PMH-C). I know that finding the right therapist is difficult. Especially when trauma and previous pain tells you you are alone, you are judged, and you are always unsafe. Though fear would like you to believe you are better off doing this on your own, you know it’s not true. To heal, we must feel seen and understood, with support and guidance. This is truly my passion and I love connecting with my clients and helping them meet their specific goals.
I have over ten years of working in mental health settings, including in leadership. I am confident and unafraid in walking through pain and unique “problems” with my clients. I have helped many find relief from childhood trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, depressive symptoms, PTSD, relationship problems, and destructive ways of coping such as substance use.
I'm an open-minded therapist with enthusiasm for life and an uplifting demeanor. I work within the values of courage, compassion, and integrity while remaining humble and down-to-earth. My well-rounded training and life experiences make me insightful and effective. My focus is on you and tailoring therapy to your specific needs.
My name is Yer and I have worked in the field of mental health and wellness for 15 years. I have provided therapy services to children and adults of all ages and backgrounds. It is a privilege for me to help individuals work through varying challenges and to help them identify and meet their therapy goals. Insuring clients feel heard, empowered and included in their care are a priority for me. I have training in various areas, including but not limited to treating depression, varying kinds of anxiety, life changes, postpartum depression and anxiety, stress management, relationships and grief and end of life challenges. I strive to create a comfortable environment for talk therapy where clients meet therapy goals and improve their quality of lives.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 4 years of experience. I have experience working with clients facing a variety of emotional and life challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, adjustment difficulties, trauma-related concerns, and postpartum disorders. I provide evidence-based psychotherapy that supports emotional wellbeing, healthy coping skills, and personal growth in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment.
My therapeutic approach is integrated and tailored to meet your unique needs. I often draw from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational interviewing.
Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Aurora, and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.
As you begin your therapy journey, I’d love to share a little about my therapeutic style so you can get a sense of who I am and whether we might be a good clinical fit.
As a Latina therapist, I believe culture plays an important role in the therapy room. Our cultural backgrounds, family experiences, relationships, and identities can all shape the way we understand ourselves and navigate the world. Both my personal and professional experiences have deeply influenced my approach to therapy.
I especially enjoy working with individuals and families navigating multigenerational patterns, family dynamics, and trauma. My goal is to create a warm, compassionate, and culturally responsive space where you feel seen, understood, and supported as you work toward meaningful change.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and have been practicing for 13 years. My approach is defined by a supportive, patient-centered clinical style and a strong commitment to patient education. My practice is designed to provide you with the comprehensive knowledge and expert guidance needed to feel fully in control of your mental health care.
I specialize in the evaluation and medication management of adults experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. By treating you as a whole person—not just a set of symptoms—I partner with you to find the right therapeutic balance. I am here to help demystify psychiatric treatment and offer steady, gentle support as you reclaim your wellness.
Feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, or disconnected from yourself? I'm Anastasia, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping adults through their mental health journeys. I specialize in empowering individuals to overcome challenges such as depression, social anxiety, and the impact of trauma. Many of my clients also seek support for navigating relationship issues, coping with anger, processing grief and loss, and adapting to major life changes. My approach is collaborative and non-judgmental, focusing on your unique strengths. Using evidence-based methods like CBT and psychodynamic therapy, we will work together to build the skills you need to regain control and feel like yourself again. As a married and practicing Christian, I have a deep and personal understanding of the dynamics that shape both marital and family relationships. My faith and my own experiences allow me to approach these challenges with a unique blend of empathy and insight. I have the expertise to help you navigate marital and family challenges with your personal goals and spiritual values in mind. Please note: I do not provide letters for service animals or special accommodations.
