It is the secrets that are within our family systems the secrets that we keep from ourselves and the secrets that others keep that we need to be freed from. Within the safety of The Secret Room you will be able to transform to your highest potential and unveil the secrets that hold you back from the life you truly want and deserve!

Life is sometimes unpredictable and challenging, and you may find you need some guidance and support. In a collaborative therapeutic environment, we will find solutions to challenges you face, through increased self-awareness and active pursuit of your goals. I integrate my practical experience as a former NASA mechanical engineer with my psychological training as a therapist to see individuals, couples and families. My approach is strength-based, cognitive-behavioral and trauma-informed. I also have extensive experience in addiction, military family issues, and I especially enjoy working with adolescents.

Currently I have only one opening, specifically for someone interested in IFS. I will edit this profile when that changes. I especially enjoy working with individuals who have experienced "outsider status" and are on a journey to create a sense of belonging in their own way and style. Many of my patients are creatives who experience hindrances in connecting with their creative energies and seek ways to more fully nourish and honor these aspects of Self.

We all deserve a space where we can be seen, heard, accepted, and valued. My goal as a therapist is to provide a counseling environment characterized by compassion and unconditional positive regard where together we can meet you authentically for who you are, right where you are, wherever that is. Whether you are coming to therapy for trauma, anxiety, depression, or something else, I believe in a collaborative journey that provides a space for you to be, explore, grow, and heal.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or struggling with depression? Do you have a hard time managing stress or finding balance in your life? If so, you may be an ideal client for my practice. I work with individuals who are looking to improve their mental health and overall well-being. My clients are often seeking a safe and non-judgmental space to explore their emotions, gain insight into their behaviors, and learn new coping skills. They may be experiencing challenges related to relationships, work, or other areas of their lives, and they are motivated to make positive changes.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a member of the National Association of Social Workers. I have 20+ years experience providing therapy to a variety of clientele. I believe that all people have the capacity for change. My passion is working with adults or adolescents and their families. I specialize in the treatment of mood disorders, oppositional defiant disorders, family conflict including divorce, and trauma. I have a background working with addictions in conjunction with a wide range of diagnosis. I also am able to successfully work with individuals and families who have experienced violence or abuse.

Neurodiverse clients I have worked with said they felt understood and supported and said that I genuinely care about them. I encourage neurodiverse communication styles, ways of thinking, and varieties of emotional expression. I will follow your lead on what you want out of therapy. The autistic community has a higher rate of trans and nonbinary gender identities which I celebrate. I also have a master’s degree in child development. I focused on sexual development and attachment theory. I support all sexualities and ethical relationship styles. I also studied healthy racial identity development in people of color and white people.

That constant nagging voice of “Am I good enough?” is ever present. Feeling pulled to please everyone, you are worn down. From the outside, it looks like you’ve got it together! On the inside, you’re stressed, doubting yourself, and wondering if you can feel true joy again. You don’t know where to begin to change things and worry about failing, so you don’t do anything. Questioning if you even deserve to feel better, you are left feeling stuck and alone in this cave of overwhelm, while life keeps going on without you.

My hope is to help my clients create possibilities for change in their relationship with self, family, and health. My personal values of compassion, care, and respect are mutual in my practice. I believe we can narrow down what you desire to address and set some simple, realistic goals so you can feel connected to your core values and positive beliefs again.

I am an art therapist, qualified mental health professional, and specialize in addiction. I believe in helping empower you to solve your own problems through cultivating confidence, positive regard, and gaining power over thought distortions. I believe that experiential learning through the art making process and the therapeutic relationship can help one increase their ability for creative problem solving, self soothing, thought exploration, emotional expression, somatic processing, healthy communication, and reflective distance. I believe in dealing with the complexity of this world through utilizing chaos theory.

Life is journey that leads us down many different roads. At times we find ourselves in front of a road block that stops that journey and interferes with our ability to move forward on our path. This feeling can often leave us overwhelmed, stressed and disheartened. I work alongside individuals to help them find insight and the tools they need to move through road blocks and take positive steps in the right direction.

Our relationships can provide us feelings of connection and safety, and give our lives meaning and purpose. They can also bring us pain and disappointment. Is your relationship in trouble? I specialize with issues that can result within relationships, from premarital to divorce, as well as blended family concerns. Whether communication issues, unresolvable conflict, infidelity/affair, addiction, abuse or mental health issues have affected your connection and attunement, I can give you the tools to turn things around in the present and the techniques to provide consistent connection in the future.

After working in the mental health field for nearly 15 years, specifically in crisis intervention, it's been my intention to start working with people before life becomes unbearable. Often we drift through our days without asking for the support that we need because it can feel as though we aren't worthy of that focus. My passion is to center each person I work with and hear how they experience the world around them. Change and growth are possible and I'm excited to be part of your climb. I believe therapy is about exploring your memories, current events, and feelings in order to help your present-self move forward.

Are you at an important crossroads, more than ready for a change but wanting greater clarity before making life altering decisions? Do you have recurrent, disturbing, or just intriguingly vivid dreams and wonder what they might be attempting to convey? Are you experiencing persistent physical symptoms that you know, or suspect, might have their origins in repressed emotions, chronic stress, unresolved grief or trauma? Are you longing to deepen an intimate partnership and curious about addressing the 5 natural stages of development through which, once understood and honored, our relationships can evolve and thrive?

Natalie (Nat) Day is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and graduated from Boise State University with a Masters in Social Work in 2018. Over the last decade she has worked in a variety of settings including residential treatment, on-campus college counseling, substance abuse treatment, inpatient psychiatric care, and community mental health. Specializing in the treatment of trauma, addictions, and sexuality (with special focus on kink/BDSM/sex work), her approach to therapy is eclectic, drawing on a variety of evidenced based practices.

My theoretical approach is rooted in psycho-dynamic theory. I follow family systems when working in a family therapy session. I and the client contextualize ecological factors such as cultural identities, variations of human sexuality, diversity, spirituality, and the impact of social development. Emphasis is placed on patients' verbal and non-verbal styles of communication for their treatment process. The overall intervention is the growth of the individual as he/she/they/them pass through tasks of life.

Welcome! I am glad you are here. My name is Mariah Vlach (pronounced Vlock) and I assist individuals, couples, and families to be the catalyst for change and healing in their lives. Dysfunctional life experiences compromise the energetic system of the mind-body connection. These experiences can compartmentalize in the psyche and physical body, creating depression, shame, fear, anxiety, and suffering. Together, we will uncover your personal mythology to reveal a deeper understanding of your life experiences, the reasons behind why you feel stuck, and ignite your natural healing capacity to bring ease and reduce suffering.

My practice provides bilingual/bicultural mental health counseling with a focus in working with Latinx adults and teens with a history of trauma.
