My passion and my goal is to help you identify the root of your presenting concerns, contributing factors, and how together, we can understand and formulate a lasting change that enriches your life. I believe everyone has the right to feel success and perform to his or her potential in school, work, at home, among peers, and in the community. I conceptualize and understand each person's unique story within the context of one's unique culture and life history. It is a privilege to be allowed to "walk" with clients on their journeys of exploration, understanding, and problem-solving.

We cannot control everything that happens in our life but we can create more of a sense of calm within ourselves. My ideal client is someone who seeks support and desires peace within themselves.

My goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth living. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life today. We will explore long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Hello! I’m Mike Burbano and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. As a Latine male clinician, I recognize the barriers that BIPOC and male-identifying individuals face around seeking mental health services. The space we create is meant to be safe and affirming of all aspects you identify with - your background, your sexuality, your story. In other words - YOU overall. I don’t believe in an ideal client. What I do believe in is a client that is willing to begin their journey for external support.

I meet my clients where they’re at and I believe in the transformative power of building the therapeutic relationship first.
Hello! My name is Rachel (she/her) and as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I love working with children, adolescents and young adults. Focusing primarily on ages 8 through 40, I work best with those struggling with life transitions, trauma, behavioral issues, mood disorders, anxiety, and ADHD. I have many years of professional experience working with those experiencing crisis, including clients struggling with suicidal ideation, self harm, homelessness and family and relational conflict. I provide individual, family and parenting counseling. Due to my age (28) adolescents and young adults tend to click well with me!

Just as we exist within an external system; family, work environments, neighborhoods, school community, we have a personal internal system within each of us. These two systems influence each other throughout every day of our lives. Just as our minds need to understand our external systems like the rules at our office or school, we need to understand the interaction of the parts within ourselves. This may be a difficult concept to wrap your mind around because we live in a world with such external rules. What would it be like if we lived by the knowledge of the internal and external systems ?

Are you feeling depressed, overwhelmed, or anxious? Do you often feel alone in your struggle, like people don't get it? When we face emotional or mental health struggles such as anxiety depression, relationship issues, low self-esteem, grief, loss, and past trauma, it can make us feel alone, lost, and hopeless. I want you to know, you are not alone, and there is help.
