Therapist

I specialize in relationship trauma, particularly cult recovery, with adults. I work with people who are gentle souls, have been called "too sensitive" and find this world hard to navigate. Our society sometimes turns sensitivity & thoughtfulness into pathologies. If you're empathic and contemplative, not only is there nothing wrong with you, we need more of you!

Hello, I’m Jose — a board-certified Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Doctorate of Nursing Practice from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. My background includes years of experience as a bedside nurse in inpatient medical-surgical and behavioral health settings, caring for pediatric, adolescent, adult, and geriatric patients. Through my training and practice, I’ve learned that every path to wellness is deeply personal. I’m passionate about collaborating with clients to understand their needs, build on their strengths, and take a motivational, compassionate approach to care.

I also recognize how difficult it can be to find LGBTQIA-affirming mental health support. My work is grounded in helping individuals release shame, embrace authenticity, and find balance through life’s challenges. Whether you’re navigating addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, or seeking affirming, identity-centered care, my goal is to support you in thriving and becoming your fullest self.

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted? Maybe anxiety has you constantly overthinking, past experiences still affect your daily life, or you're navigating grief, depression, burnout, or a major life transition. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to face it alone.

Hi, I'm Brianna, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with a Doctorate in Health Science. I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, burnout, and life transitions with compassion, practical support, and evidence-based care.

I believe therapy is most effective when you feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. My goal is to provide a warm, judgment-free space where you can better understand yourself, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to help you move forward with greater confidence and resilience.

Taking the first step isn't always easy, but you don't have to do it alone. I'd be honored to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.
