Allison Borrasso

Are you wanting to feel happier or more fulfilled? I help many adults cope with depression/anxiety due to trauma or general life stressors. I enjoy supporting clients cope within a high-stress profession as well as caregivers struggling with regaining a sense of self outside of the caregiver role. I have extensive experience in working with adults with cognitive difficulties due to brain related injuries/diseases as well as military veterans struggling with the transition to civilian life.

Maria Martin

I work with women who struggle with blended high/low self esteem. To the outside world, we are successful and have our shit together. Except we are masters at hiding pain. Inside, we have a black hole filled with guilt, shame, and feeling unworthy. We feel stress managing family, life, career, relationships, and don't feel good enough. We explore the beliefs and patterns that impact our daily life. The goal is to free ourselves from our past.

They might also experience a sense of existential uncertainty, questioning meaning and purpose in life.

I work best with clients who have a desire to learn about and explore their relationship with themselves, others, and the world around them to move towards a more integrated and holistic way of being.

I enjoy helping my clients to become more curious, resilient, insightful, and courageous.

Ali Siewert

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.
