As a super proud mom of two sons, I know first hand that even with the best parenting skills we can dish out, kids often still need additional support along the way to improve their social, emotional, and relational functioning. I believe in building strong relationships with children and their families, in a safe, consistent, and nurturing environment. I truly believe that relationship is the key to unleashing your child's potential and to promoting growth and positive change.

I treat high-functioning clients experiencing emotional or physical stress, due to problems in work; relationships (boundaries, assertiveness, anger management); life transitions; or life changes related to loss (such as death, disability/illness, or divorce). My stress model includes strategies for effective problem-solving, rational thinking, effective coping, and stress resilience. I also see couples motivated to either improve their current relationship or prepare for a future together. I use an active interactional style to provide support, insight, and practical strategies for coping with life's challenges.

As a psychologist and Lacanian psychoanalyst, I believe that psychotherapy works best when you feel free to express and explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences-including the ones that feel difficult to put into words. Words have the power both to hurt and to heal. I am trained to listen and intervene in a way that can have many benefits, including relief from suffering and substantive, lasting changes such as personal growth, increased relationship satisfaction and life fulfillment, and an improved ability to work and succeed. I provide a comfortable, professional environment in which I aim to help you meet your goals.

Sometimes when things are falling apart they may actually be falling into place. Feeling lost or alone in your addiction or mental health? There are many roads to recovery and they all don't look the same. Therapy is hard, let's face it but you don't have to be alone in your struggles. Working on the clinical side of psychiatry for many years has given me a unique insight into the origins of addiction and mental health. Through my real experience and personal life experience, I will help you develop tools and come to solutions that empower you to change behaviors and ultimately your life.

As a parent, it can be difficult to know what to do when your child or adolescent is experiencing emotional or behavioral difficulties. You may often feel helpless and isolated. I can help. I have had extensive training in the field of play therapy, a developmentally appropriate approach to working with children struggling with a variety of issues. Throughout this process, your child will experience a warm, safe, and accepting environment where these issues can be worked out. I will also work to help you understand your child more and provide you with ways to feel more empowered.

We help parents develop positive behavior plans to reduce behavior difficulties at home and school. Marital and other family relationship issues are also addressed. We use a short term, cognitive behavioral approach to provide practical advise and proven strategies to help resolve problems as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Relationships are complicated and often bring emotional pain, loneliness, anxiety, and discouragement. Committing to someone requires courage and strength. I work with couples, families, and individuals applying the principles of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) which is a research-based treatment for clients seeking emotional connection and fulfillment in relationships. EFT helps clients understand the interactional patterns that cause emotional disconnection. I would love to offer you these tools, deeper understanding, and helpful insight as you seek to repair your most important relationships.

Change is one thing you can count on, and I am here to help you navigate through those life adjustments. Empowerment is the greatest tool that I look forward to sharing with couples and individuals.

Many people require support, and assistance in coping with life's many twists and turns. Friends and family may not always have the patience, or understanding to help. Allow me to work with you and assist you through your pain. You do not have to suffer in silence. Author of two books at www.amazon.com/author/abbygailsmith under pen name: Abby Gail Smith.

My ideal client is one primarily motivated for change. I'm not an "ah huh, mmmm, I see" therapist. I am very active in sessions so my client wants honest, direct feedback and education on issues and new skills for more success. I am also patient, seasoned and aware that fear and habits make change hard, so I offer significant support and positive encouragement. My therapy involves Cognitive/Behavioral techniques meaning: understanding you "head chatter" and skills to decrease or make more positive (often driven by anxiety), and changing or creating "actions" that increase positive results and confidence.

As a therapist, I get excited about the opportunity for change in a person's life. My goal is to connect with the client and to help them achieve healing, gain hope, and thrive individually. There are many reasons to seek therapy, and I consider it an honor to support clients during this courageous journey. I work hard to provide a nurturing, non-judgmental space where it is safe to be vulnerable, and I help my clients feel empowered to make changes towards growth and healing. It can feel scary to open up, and I can support you by collaborating with you throughout the process.

Do you often find yourself worrying about the important relationships in your life? Maybe you’re wondering what happened to the sense of connection you once felt with your partner? Or perhaps you’re stuck in a painful pattern with someone you care deeply about, but you can’t figure out how to get unstuck? For many of us, relationships are central to our life, and we crave deep and meaningful connections. And, it makes perfect sense to feel distressed when we are disconnected from loved ones, when we are in a period of difficult transition, or when events and concerns from the past impact our current relationships.

Hi there! I’m April! Congrats to you for taking your first step on the journey to healing. While I believe that clients are the experts of their own lives, I also understand that life can get heavy. Sometimes we need some help carrying the weight. As your therapist, I will provide a welcoming, safe and non-judgmental space for you to work through life's challenges. I utilize a variety of techniques and theories based on my client’s needs including Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused techniques, Attachment Theory, and an overall person centered approach.

Welcome. My name is Samatha and I specialize in areas often related to interpersonal trauma such as post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems, and issues of social inequity. Interpersonal trauma can include anything from childhood trauma that occurs in the family of origin, to ongoing discrimination in everyday life. Often times, trauma interferes with our ability to trust others and the world around us. This makes it very difficult to feel safe and secure in our own skin. It can be challenging to engage in the present moment and feel fulfilled, and it can compromise our health in many ways.

Samantha enjoys working with children, adolescents, young adults, and their families. Samantha wants to empower children and families to explore and express their emotions and equip them with skills to utilize in their daily lives. Samantha has gained research and clinical experience working with children with neurodevelopment disorders such as Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD. Along with equipping children with emotional skills, Samantha utilizes various activities that support the development of social and executive functioning skills in session.
