Hello, I'm Lexi, an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor who works from a trauma-informed and strengths-based lens to support clients in achieving their goals. I approach therapy from a place of authenticity, collaboration, and compassion. I believe that each of us is the expert on our own unique experiences, and we therefore have the power and ability to make the positive changes necessary to lead fulfilling lives. I often integrate DBT, Internal Family Systems, CBT, self-compassion, and positive psychology interventions to support clients.

I specialize in general clinical psychology (various anxiety and mood disorders), health psychology, and evidence-based practice. I use cognitive behavioral therapy with a collaborate approach. At the beginning of treatment, we work toward figuring out what isn’t working for you and how to initially get you some symptom relief. I value getting to know you and your thoughts, beliefs, and coping strategies. I help you find ways to cope that are more effective. I strive for genuine relationships with my clients at any stage of adulthood where we can discuss issues openly. You are included in treatment-related decisions.

Each of us has a unique purpose to live in this world and through varied experiences we become disconnected from this inspiration. I'm dedicated to helping my clients rediscover their sense of self and guiding them towards a path of healing and resilience. In sessions we will join together so that you can reconnect to your purpose and live in an embodied way. I specialize in working with families, couples, and individuals who have been impacted by severe mental illness, substance use, intergenerational trauma, grief, identity confusion, disappointment, and feelings of powerlessness.

Hi, I'm Yang. And I'm here to help you heal from self-abandonment and emotional dysregulation. Self-abandonment occurs when we struggle to stand up for our needs and live by our authentic values; often, we don't even know what they are. Those who struggle with self-abandonment don't feel like they know who they really are, and what they want, and often feel directionless and ungrounded. We feel small, afraid, anxious, aggressive and dependent on others. In particular, I specialize in helping adults who grew up with Asian immigrant parents, or adults from controlling/intense/codependent relationships gain back a sense of self.

Our lives are shaped by the stories we tell, and the stories we inherit. I cherish the work of helping people slow down, to reflect on the stories that guide their lives. Which stories support your relationship with yourself? Which stories need to be rewritten? How can you live a meaningful life shaped by values and hopes, versus fears and judgments? What unhelpful stories from “the outside” (family, society, etc.) must be filtered out, when reclaiming your power to write your own story?

Now more than ever, it seems that so many of us are facing circumstances that make life stressful, confusing, and painful at times.

People seek therapy for many different reasons. Often, it is the result of either a specific incident which impairs our ability to cope, heal and progress, or it is the culmination of longstanding habits, trends, and patterns that continue to render unfulfilling or even detrimental results. I make every effort to empower clients to evolve beyond their instincts if the results have prevented them from reaching their goals. I approach each client with curiosity in an attempt to shed light on their unique decision making process and to enhance their ability to make more healthful and conscientious choices.

I specialize in chronic health conditions and trauma, which I understand first hand. Chronic medical conditions (i.e. dysautonomia POTS, EDS, Lyme disease, Bartonella, IBS, fibro, fatigue CFS, Hashimoto’s, mast cell MCAS, sickle cell disease, mold illness CIRS, etc.) often come with significant challenges, like fear, anxiety, grief, medical PTSD, and may interfere with relationships and daily function. I utilize various holistic evidence-based treatment modalities and practice-based evidence, contingent on each person’s needs and goals, with an added focus on mindfulness techniques, positive psychology, and strengths-based therapy.

My goal is to create a genuine connection with you and together we can use this therapeutic relationship as our foundation for seeking change, exploration and growth. I first and foremost work with a compassionate and empathetic approach, relying on our relationship to guide our sessions. I have also found success using a combination of cognitive-behavioral and emotion-focused techniques to understand what messages our bodies are attempting to communicate with us. Giving our emotions their own voice and allowing them to have the space for acceptance without shame helps lead the way to understanding ourselves more deeply.

Hi, I'm Ariel Klassen, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I specialize in trauma, addiction, anxiety and depression and have had the privilege of assisting varying ages from adolescents to adults. In an individual session I value the importance of mental health and am committed to fostering growth in the lives I am a part of. I work with females and males who express varying symptoms of anxiety and depression. Often this is first treated by establishing effective coping skills and then digging a little deeper to explore their past to gain self-awareness and create sustainable growth.

Let’s collaborate so we can work together to support your ongoing healing and growth. I work towards engaging from a compassionate, anti-oppressive, and trauma informed positionality. One of my focuses is on collaborating to better understand yourself as an integrated mind/body/spirit/social/relational being (soma) and reprocessing what your soma holds. Some of the ways in which we can do this is through building upon the stories that empower you and learning skills for personal and/or interpersonal fulfillment. We all deserve to live our lives liberated from the reactive survival responses of trauma.
