New Clients WELCOME, August 2024: Are you a highly sensitive, neurodivergent person who feels uncomfortable in your own skin? You’ve spent your life feeling different, struggling with a loud inner critic. In order to fit in, you’ve learned to mask your true self — your deepest emotions & thoughts, your natural ways of speaking & moving. You’re so used to the mask, you’re not sure who the real you is. After being told many times that you’re “too sensitive,” you don't know how to trust yourself. There are painful experiences you know you need to process. You’re ready to heal & feel more at peace with yourself. I’d love to support you.

I welcome you to taking the first step to supporting your individual/couple/family mental/emotional needs. It is a huge step and I am here to support you in your therapeutic process. I am bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have extensive training, and experience working with adults, and couples on a broad range of issues particularly trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and family conflict. In addition to providing therapy, I also lead and organize couples retreats/workshops, therapist retreats (trainings), and Wellness Retreats.

First responders (ands many others) benefit from the 2.0 recent event protocol and the rapid healing it offers. Reach out to start your journey towards recovery through tailored hourly or intensive EMDR sessions. Let's work together to achieve the peace and resilience you deserve.

Do you know that most issues related to anxiety, depression, and addiction are symptoms of deeper underlying causes? Do you find yourself constantly slipping into unhealthy patterns and behaviors or seeking healing for what is still an open wound? Have you tried to work things out on your own with little or no success? You don't have to figure it all out on your own.

Feeling crappy about yourself has run your life for too long. Feeling like your not worthy, not good enough, or that you bother people or people don't like you. You've probably been hiding yourself because of this. If you've learned to hide yourself, it makes it really difficult to attract the friends, partners, career, experiences, and life that really feeds your soul.

Do things seem overwhelming? Are you uncertain? Do you have doubts? Does your mind torment you? Are you confused or even scared? Suffering? If so, you have found the right person. Things CAN get better. I am here to help you regain a sense of control over your life, build coping skills, and assist you in making the changes you desire. I would be honored to journey with you, offering you a safe space to tell your story and sustained compassion along the way.

You want to be the person you know you are deep down, but you do not know how to wade through the layers of who you feel you need to be for others or the way you feel you need to present to meet external expectations. You feel lost. You feel misunderstood.You may even struggle to get through the day or week. You feel alone. I want you to know that you are not alone.

"The optics of perfection, is rarely ever perfect." Are you feeling stuck and unsure of your next move? My name is Kiona and I am committed to assisting people live their best lives beyond anxiety, depression, trauma, substance abuse and anger. As the proud owner of Simple Truth Counseling Center, I focus on finding the simple truth for all! I believe in meeting people where they are, seeking solutions and using problem-solving methods for daily life issues. Treatment is tailored to meet specific needs, through the use of Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavior Therapy and EMDR.

Accepting New Clients! I believe you have the power within yourself to change. Together we will tap into your strength, courage, and insight to achieve your goals. I specialize in treating trauma through the use of EMDR, IFS, traditional talk, and other treatment modalities. I often work with busy professionals and college students-or anyone suffering from trauma, relationship issues, low self-esteem, depression, stress, and anxiety. I am non-judgmental and professional, although when appropriate, I've been known to crack a joke because sometimes laughter really is the best medicine.

Do you find yourself feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or sad? Do you feel like others either don’t understand what you've been through or don’t want to talk about it? Perhaps you don't feel the freedom to talk about it, which can leave you feeling isolated, lonely, and wondering how you will ever be able to move forward. As a trauma-informed therapist, I understand that your body has self-healing capacities, but to access them, you have to give your body what it needs to heal. When you stay in a constant state of alert or shutdown, it has a detrimental impact on your brain and body. The good news is change is possible!

Accepting new clients. Recognizing that you need help is the first step towards making positive changes in your life, but this is often the most difficult part on the path to recovery. Sometimes all we need is someone willing to walk with us. My approach for each client depends on what their current goals are and figuring out the best way to achieve them together.

Throughout life we encounter numerous stressors, life changes, or traumas that impact our ability to fully experience the world in the way we want to. I am passionate about helping individuals and families become their best selves by encouraging them to work through trauma, be kinder to themselves, and maintain positive relationships with others. I have training in EMDR, which is an evidence-based practice that can help decrease the daily effects that are experienced from past traumas. Together we can create a collaborative and safe space for you to find healing and to enhance your relationships, with others and yourself.

I teach chronic dieters how to become "normal eaters". Have you been dieting most of your life and you realize it’s just not working…but you’re thinking about trying yet another one. Have you joined and rejoined WW over the years, even reaching lifetime status but always gained the weight back… but here you are, ready to join again. The chatter in your head is never ending and your brain won’t stop obsessing…but you’re looking up another recipe, watching another cooking show, planning another menu, going to another blog…. You're thinking three words… I’m. So. Done. I can help you get off of the diet roller coaster.

Struggling to show up in a world that tells you “you’re too much” and to "stop being so sensitive"? Having thoughts that no one will ever get you because you’re constantly told to “just get over it”? If you don't fit in the mold for attempting to speak your truth, this creates debilitating stress and anxiety. The need to feel safe, seen, and heard IS REAL. You want to show up real AF, comfortable in your own skin, surrounded by people who emotionally support and value YOU. But how do you stand up to all of this toxic energy when you’re feeling so damn drained and exhausted by all the drama?

Do you constantly think "something bad is going to happen" or struggle with constant thoughts of "what if"? Do you feel like you're always on edge and you can't relax, no matter what? Everyone experiences a healthy amount of worry from time to time, but constant anxiety can be debilitating. If left untreated, anxiety can impact your physical health, threaten your job, and make it difficult to have deep, meaningful relationships. This is especially true for parents, who's anxiety makes it difficult to calmly and effectively be there for their children.

People do not seek counseling because everything in their life is going well. Sometimes we just need someone to come along side and help us "do" life. Sometimes we just need someone to help ease the pain. I approach counseling from a Christian Worldview believing that deep down people want to be seen, understood, and accepted for who they are. I use a variety of evidence based practices such as EMDR and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help you on your journey.

As a therapist my first goal is to build a relationship with my clients with a felt sense of safety and rolling consent to help explore areas that may have become unclear, clouded, painful, and difficult. This is the first step towards clarity and relief. Deep relief and release can happen when we feel safe enough in our bodies to acknowledge the truth of our stories. I believe that truth comes not only from our minds and our stories, but from our bodies. From dropping down into them, the sensations they hold and feel, and what they are telling us.

Are you feeling unheard, hopeless or constantly worrying about something? Are you struggling to communicate and connect with your partner? Are you worrying about your next meal or the way your body looks? Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, past trauma, relationship issues, burnout or body image, I am here to help you navigate these feelings and offer a path forward. I love helping individuals understanding the underlying events that cause them to constantly worry and feel down.
