Building relationships to last a lifetime!

Online Therapy

Melanie Ferrari

I'm queer and LGBTQIA+ aligned, and many of my clients tend to be as well. I use attachment and trauma informed psych models, and have treated a lot of high-trauma and late diagnosis clients. I'm authentic and direct, and that works very well with people who prefer direct communication and people on the autism and ADHD spectrums.

I specialize in supporting adults, especially those from multicultural or immigrant backgrounds, navigating identity, anxiety, self-worth, and the pressure to “have it all figured out.” My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming and a safe space for all races, genders, and sexual orientations. Whether dealing with anxiety, burnout, or family stress, I’m here to help you heal, build self-trust, and create a life that truly reflects who you are. Let's work toward clarity and confidence together.

Heidi Gray

Holding it together on the outside but feel VERY different inside? Do you feel gripped by anxiety, self-doubt, anger, dread, fear, or numbness? Having thoughts that you are not enough, or too much, or that you have to be perfect? There is a reason this is happening. Getting to know yourself takes time and intention - and often the support of a confident guide. You can love what it feels like to come home to your life.

Gwendolyn Nelson-Terry

You find yourself wondering how it is possible to be in a relationship and feel so alone. No matter how hard you try to connect with your partner, the two of you just seem to keep missing each other. You miss the fun the two of you used to have, you miss the times when the two of you used to talk so easily. Working with a trained couples therapist can help you to get back on track with your relationship. It is possible to heal, grow and have fulfilling relationships.

Life can be challenging, and at times, despite our best efforts we can feel stuck or lost.
