As a licensed therapist and clergy, my aim is to provide my clients with the utmost understanding of their diverse needs. With my background as a black, immigrant, and Muslim individual, I bring a unique perspective to the table that fosters cultural humility. My approach is personalized and family-centered, valuing the stories of each and every client. I create a supportive environment that embraces all identities, and I help my clients navigate their mental health journeys with confidence, using evidence-based practices and cultural competency.

I work with adults of all ages and some youths ages 14-19. I am credentialed in addictions counseling and understand how this may influence some of my clients. I love helping clients resolve trauma pain and the issues that come with that. I have helped clients suffering with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorders. You can make friends with the voices. Clients suffering from self-harming behaviors are some of my favorite people. The relationship with them grows as they learn new ways to direct and release their pain. You are not alone.

I have been practicing for over 25 years. I have had the privilege to positively treat patients in a variety of settings including churches, hospitals, schools, and agencies. I am trained in EMDR therapy to help reduce the effects of trauma. My experience is varied across age spans as well in diverse populations both culturally and economically. My heart is to serve clients who are looking for holistic healing and are longing for breakthrough in their lives. My gift is to come alongside people in a compassionate and motivating way to give tools for them to find healing and wholeness so that freedom is a reality for each person.

Welcome to Jaeden Roberts Counseling & Alternative Therapies. I work with adults and children, providing individual & family sessions, as well as teaching classes. My approach is holistic, and I see my role as helping clients cultivate their natural strengths and capacities for healing, gain skills/tools to address problematic dynamics and stressors, and address and resolve past trauma. I believe wholeheartedly in the connection between body and mind, and I work to ensure that healing takes place at all levels. All services are strictly confidential, of course. Some sessions available online (via Facetime or email), based on your needs/preference.

Do you feel stuck? Like life is full of all the adulting never ending to do list? Have you lost your sense of self and sense of identity? Are you and your partner disconnected and feel more like roommates then passionate connected partners? You are not alone! I see you! I get it- life isn't fun, joyous, and pleasurable. This can change and I am here to walk the path with you. Support you as you rediscover your passion for yourself and for life! As you re-ignite your love of life.

It's all about relationships. Relationships can be fun and exciting, and also difficult work due to differing perspectives, wants and needs. Staying curious and compassionate can foster courage and confidence to maintain and grow relationally with self and others.

Generally, we react to suffering and what we struggle with by trying to fix perceived problems, our selves, or others. It is natural to not want to suffer, but often our very resistance to suffering, or the habits we develop to avoid discomfort and pain work against us. I provide an integrative, soul-nourishing approach to therapy rooted in embodied depth psychology, health coaching, and mindfulness practices that encourages fully accepting ourselves: our bodies, feelings, and thoughts as they are.

Are you experiencing anxiety? Have you or your child gone through a traumatic event or experienced a major loss? Are you having trouble maintaining a healthy relationship? Do you struggle from low self-esteem and/or low self-confidence? I practice client centered strengths based approaches that teach the client skills to successfully become their own therapist for the times they face barriers in their life.

Welcome! I'm Yuliana Gonzalez, a dedicated therapist empowering individuals to reach their full potential. With expertise in anxiety, depression, and trauma recovery. I create a nurturing environment for personal growth. Armed with a bachelor's and master's degree in clinical social work from Walla Walla University, I offer tailored solutions that resonate with each client's unique journey. I firmly believe in the transformative power of self-awareness and self-compassion. In my practice, I foster collaboration and understanding, guiding clients to uncover strengths and make meaningful life changes.

When our mind, body, and soul are aligned, we experience balance, which has a positive impact on our emotional and psychological well-being. I will support you in navigating thoughts and feelings that have harmed your personal life. My goal is to guide you in reaching your fullest potential and discovering the best version of yourself. Utilizing mindful techniques, I will assist you in shifting your thoughts from the past and future, and into the present moment. Working together, you will learn how to experience life in the here and now, and you will begin taking control of what matters the most, your life.

As a passionate advocate for mental well-being, I believe every individual has the potential to transform their lives through understanding, connection, and tailored therapeutic support. My approach to therapy is collaborative; together, we will seek to implement the best plan for your unique journey. Using various methods, like cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge negative thoughts, play therapy to express emotions, and attachment therapy to build healthy relationships, I am confident we can create a strategy that truly meets your needs. I strive to make every person feel safe, valued and understood.

Hello! I've always had a heart for helping others and am passionate about helping individuals, couples, young adults, and children find healing and wholeness as they navigate through the challenging issues of their lives. I have a heart for working with first responders, law enforcement officers, their spouses, children, and families. I believe the integration of spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical health is crucial to helping clients find transformation and healing in their journey towards wholeness in Christ. I strive to provide a safe non-judgmental space for my clients where they receive the support they need.

Acknowledging our needs with grace and compassion is especially challenging when you or a loved one is experiencing parenting struggles, life transitions, the weight of anxiety or depression, or conflict in relationships. You're searching for a way through, and don't have to do it alone. I believe we're all worthy of being seen, known and deeply understood. My hope is for you to encounter a sense of that during our work together.

Are you seeking to strengthen yourself and find purpose and meaning in your life that truly resonates with you? Do you struggle with relationships—whether with yourself, your environment, your close intimate relationships, or finding the love you’ve been seeking? If you have a strong desire to deepen bonds, build enriching and affirming connections, and are ready to transform feelings of distance or difficulty into a positive journey of self-discovery, growth, and meaningful relationships, I can help.

For clients who are dealing with unhealthy, and sometimes even harmful sexual behaviors, their struggle is often enshrouded in shame and secrecy. These behaviors can affect anyone. Immediate access to pornography and the cloak of anonymity make it easy to become ensnared in unwanted behaviors. For clients who are dealing with concerns about their sexual functioning, it is often due to multiple causes that can be medical, relational, and/or psychological in nature. Often it is difficult to talk about these concerns with others around us given how private and personal these concerns are.

I have experience working with many populations. I most enjoy working with individuals who are healing from their past trauma. I hope to bring a fresh perspective and offer a place for hope and recovery.

At Praus Counseling I serve both adult and adolescent populations who struggle with problematic/maladaptive sexual behaviors and addictions. We live in a time where easy, limitless stimulation is all around us. Yet the topic of sex is saturated with so much shame that we often avoid it and never gain the ability to effectively discuss it with others. Through exploring familial upbringing, processing negative self-beliefs, building good habits, learning how to respond to natural urges, and gaining comfort and confidence discussing these issues, we can effectively reduce the shame that often drives continued problematic behavior.

It is my priority to provide clients with an authentic and safe environment to express vulnerable feelings which may be painful or difficult to navigate alone. Seeking therapy can be a vulnerable and courageous step in the process of self-growth. I offer a non-judgmental and empathetic environment for individuals and couples to work through the complex emotional experiences that come with life.
