Life can be extremely challenging. In response, we develop coping mechanisms that work in the moment, but that ultimately hinder our ability to connect with ourselves and others in a healthy way. With my clients, we identify destructive/productive learned behaviors. We practice new ways of interacting and work through past and present struggles, regaining the ability to feel calm, love, and joy! Some of the issues I treat are anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, addiction, and narcissism (stemming from trauma). I work with adults and couples in various stages of life (marriage, new parents, divorce, midlife, etc.).

I work primarily with anxiety, relational issues, divorce, trauma, grief, anger, depression, addiction, low self-esteem, and self-exploration.
Seeking therapy is a courageous starting point for pursuing more fulfilling relationships and life experiences. Your past and present circumstances do not have to define your identity. It is normal to experience uncertainty as you begin this process but I am committed to providing a safe space to explore your unique needs at your own pace. I am confident that we can collaborate to identify goals, clarify obstacles, and develop effective skills to promote change and improve your quality of life. My approach is best described as warm, empowering, and non-judgmental, but active and direct. I offer both in-person and virtual sessions.

Sometimes there are unforeseen circumstances that lead to difficult roads ahead, and we can feel stuck. What am I doing here? Where am I going? When will this be different? These are just some of the questions that come up when we feel overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed. Sometimes it gets foggy, and we cannot seem to find our way out of the cave. This is where therapy can come in and be transformative. Change is only created when there is acknowledgement of emotions, better understanding, and the process to unlock your full potential.

You make it through the day to day but inside you’re fearful, anxious or depressed. You’re bottling things up and lashing out at seemingly insignificant things later. The demands of your job & personal life are starting to feel like too much to juggle even though you’ve always been good at juggling it all. It doesn’t seem like something you can talk about. Everyone thinks you have it all together and besides you feel ashamed. Holding all this in is starting to make you feel lonely. You know life should be different but you’re overwhelmed and you wonder how everyone else seems to do it so easily.

At our cores, we are relational beings who thrive when we feel connected to ourselves, to each other, and to the world around us. When we endure painful experiences or simply learn to abandon our wants and needs in exchange for belonging and acceptance as children, we can become out of touch with our true nature, but therapy is a journey of leading us back in order to move forward. I often work with artists, therapists, and people who have, at times, felt misunderstood. If you are feeling stuck and could use support, we can begin to explore the experiences that have led you to this moment so that healing and progress can take place.

Hello! My name is Jackie Galindo-Johnson. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist. My approach to therapy is gentle but direct; I move at the client's pace, therefore making me more client-centered. I am client-centered, meaning you steer the ship, and I'm here to make sure you don't hit the iceberg, so to speak. I have had experience in various therapeutic settings, such as juvenile halls, school-based therapy, and private practice. I chose to work for the private practice because I enjoy the array of clients I work with. I always knew I wanted to help people; I just wasn't sure in what setting.

Sometimes we find it hard to understand what is going on inside our heart and head. Perhaps we have a vague idea but we can't find the words to adequately express what we are feeling. Therapy offers us the opportunity to put language to our experience and increase our self awareness. Personal and relational transformation depend on that self awareness. I strive to create a safe place for you to journey inward without judgment; so that you may feel respected, secure and understood. To be invited into the depths of another person's soul is always a privilege. It is an honor for me to take this journey with you.

My name is Stephanie Banning, and I am a licensed LMFT. I have spent the last 15y+ working with individuals struggling with addiction/recovery in a variety of capacities, including substance abuse and eating disorders. Due to the nature of my specialties, I have developed expertise in working with mood disorders and OCD. I believe in meeting an individual where they are at, and that trauma looks differently to everyone because you cannot see someone's mental health.
