GISSELL RODRIGUEZ

Many clients come to me when traditional talk therapy hasn’t provided the healing they hoped for. They seek a holistic approach to address the root of their pain and long for profound transformation. My clients often feel lost, on auto-pilot, or disconnected from their bodies, loved ones, and the world around them. Others feel overwhelmed by life’s demands or stuck in unhelpful patterns. Together, we create a compassionate space to foster connection, healing, and lasting change.

Colleen Hennessy

My clients are open-minded individuals exploring their identity, relationships, or sexuality outside of traditional norms. Whether you're navigating nonmonogamy, queerness or kinky dynamics, or just want a therapist with a fresh approach, I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space. If you're facing anxiety, trauma, or uncertainty, I'm here to help you explore and find the clarity and support you need.

Cynthia Valentine

My clients are hardworking, smart and intuitive. They're also at the end of their rope and don't know what else to do to help themselves. I take a whole-person approach. All parts of you are welcome! Anxiety can layer on top of other emotions making it hard to get to the root causes and struggles. Undiagnosed ADHD without proper support or recognition can throw a wrench in (all) your plans. I can help clear away the fog. Let's make what you LOVE and VALUE the center of your life.

I support couples in creating their optimal relationship in which they feel fully known, loved, connected, and supported in being their best selves.

Eric van der Voort

Are you distracted by thoughts & insecurities during sex? Does sex feel like a performance or an obligation? Do you worry you'll disappoint your partner because of difficulties with arousal, erections, or orgasms? Do you sometimes avoid sex altogether because working through relationship issues feels complicated or overwhelming? If so, you’re neither alone nor broken. Like many, you may be experiencing performance anxieties, low sexual desire, or have inaccurate or unhelpful beliefs about sex.

Tiffany Rodrigues

I love working with individual adults and teens (16yo and up) who are wanting to create more space for themselves in their world. That could look like finding new ways to rest, identifying triggers and tools to safely feel big emotions, learning to effectively communicate in relationships, exploring alignment and safety in your identity, getting your basic needs met, and so much more. Part of my work with teens includes parent/guardian education and outside resourcing for additional support.
