Leslie Aguilar

What does "balance" & "wellness" look like, feel like & mean to you? Our own versions of "balance" fluctuate over time & I aim to normalize that! At times we may need guidance in redefining "balance" and/or "wellness" as we work on relationships, experience life transitions, process intergenerational trauma, work on radically accepting recurring patterns, navigate anxiety, embrace adolescence/adulthood, etc. My ultimate goal is to nonjudgmentally support your needs throughout this process.

Adam Whitlatch

I work best with clients who want to explore their experiences and seek meaningful change, even if the path forward feels unclear. You may be navigating anxiety, depression, identity or relationship issues, life transitions, difficult emotions, or simply looking to understand yourself more deeply. Whether you are new to therapy or returning, I provide a supportive and genuine space to foster clarity, growth, and self-discovery.

Carrie Covell

My clients are vibrant, intelligent individuals who sometimes face challenges regulating their emotions, controlling their impulses, maintaining their relationships, and being compassionate toward themselves. I also see people who struggle with overthinking, mood fluctuations, and low self-esteem. Often, folks reach out after losing a loved one (companion animals included), or in the midst of a conflict or transition.

Lorraine Schwartz

I work with adults & couples from various communities who feel stuck, would like to learn new coping skills, heal & grow. While navigating relationship issues, life transitions or trying to understand why you are in pain it is healing to be seen, heard & accepted. I strive to create this in our work while helping you to connect with & understand parts of yourself you may have kept hidden. Areas also include improving communication, learning to process emotions & reactivity, boundaries & ADHD.

Alison Murphey

Do you feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or defeat, as a result of a significant life change or trauma? Maybe a relationship has ended or a new phase of life has just begun. Perhaps you’re living with the long-term effects of abuse, illness/pain or other traumatic experiences. You may feel out of control of your life or emotions. Eventually, these things start to overflow into other areas of life...and yet despite how hard things are right now, you know there’s more to life than this.

I know what it's like to struggle with feeling safe in your body and not knowing why you feel that way. We together can separate the medical challenges from the mental health challenges.
