Hi my name is Mckensie. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I recognize the power of listening and being present when things get difficult, while also making room for what feels light and good. I work to create an atmosphere where you can feel at ease and start where you are. Healing happens when you feel supported and safe to explore all of your parts. I believe that can be done with real honest work and a good sense of humor.

Hi! My name is Maisie Jacquez and I am an LCSW with 6 years experience working in both New Mexico and California. I have experience working with culturally diverse, high risk populations in rural areas. With little resources as a therapist, you learn to navigate a wide range of issues in your client population. I have been trained to meet client's needs within that population. Moving from that rural area to California as a military spouse has subjected me to a different population to work with. So, whether it is navigating grief, complex trauma, depression, anxiety, work stressors, or major life transitions, I am passionate about helping. My goal is to make my clients as comfortable and safe as possible while healing things that tend to compromise every day functioning. I value my therapeutic relationship with my clients and always want them to feel heard and valued. When my clients are discharged it is always with the intention of knowing I have helped to provide them with the tools they need to navigate life's obstacles in the best way possible. I always want them to feel as though they have learned or gained something from our sessions. My favorite part in my line of work is meeting new people from all different walks of life and learning how their unique characteristics can become their strongest assets.

To others it may seem like you've got it all together, but on the inside you're spinning out of control. Panic randomly punches you in the chest, taking your breath away, and you can't focus on anything else other than how to make it stop. You are consumed by trying to keep up with everyone else since they seem to have it all together, but you can barely function through the day. You feel like an awful mom because you are lashing out on your kids and hating the daily monotony instead of "embracing the joy of motherhood." You feel like you are failing your partner because somewhere along this journey you just lost yourself. You want to be a better mom to your kids. And remember why you fell in love with your partner. And stop the tornado of anxiety that knocks you out on the regular. You want to stop living by the expectations of others and rediscover who you truly are. It's time to win back some peace of mind and self-worth and attract the life you want. I have the DBT and mindfulness skills, which uses both mind and body exercises that will help you manage the crippling anxiety, love yourself better, be a more present and joyful mom, improve your relationships, and attract the life you want.

Hello, i'm Randy. Despite having the title of being a therapist, I believe that no matter how many years of work experience a therapist has, and no matter how many credentials/degrees a therapist has, all of that goes out the window if they don't have the ability to click and level with their clients. Initiating therapy services may feel like a leap of faith; as one would have to initiate a process in which they will be meeting with a therapist who is a complete stranger to them in the beginning. So congratulations on taking the first step for seeking treatment ! I have worked with a variety of clientele throughout my career in the mental health field; which consisted of 3 years of working with adults, and 3 years of working with children/adolescents aged 3-17, as well as the adult population.

Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from California Southern University. I also hold a master's in clinical social work from The Catholic University of America in Washington, DC. My doctoral research explored how therapists integrate EMDR and Neurofeedback, which strengthened my expertise in supporting individuals living with PTSD and C-PTSD. I am certified in EMDR by EMDRIA and bring advanced training to help clients find healing, relief and their joy. My focus is on creating a collaborative, compassionate space where meaningful progress can happen. Outside of my professional work, I am a pet lover, dancer, and enjoy time with my family. These parts of my life keep me grounded and approachable, and remind me of the importance of balance, connection, and joy.

I am a psychotherapist and a theologian. I understand that people are imperfect, but there is always room for improvement. Oftentimes, when we expand our knowledge and skills in managing interpersonal relationships, we can experience more joy in life. As a therapist, I help clients overcome psychological issues preventing them from thriving in and maintaining healthy and meaningful relationships. Empowering individuals and couples and obtaining skills to help them live harmonious, confident, happier lives is satisfying.

I bring over 38 years of experience in the mental health field, having worked in hospitals, residential care facilities, schools, community clinics, as well as in private practice settings. I am bilingual and bicultural, and throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds in improving their mental health and reaching their personal goals. My areas of specialization include: Depression and anxiety Trauma Grief and loss ADHD and executive functioning challenges Substance abuse and recovery Couples and family dynamics Mental health disorders—especially anxiety and depression—are among the most pressing public health challenges of the 21st century. Depression is now the leading cause of disability worldwide, with chronic and toxic stress often at the root of these conditions. The good news is that, when properly diagnosed and treated, depression, anxiety, and many other mental health concerns can be stabilized and even reversed—allowing individuals to return to their routines and rediscover a healthier, more fulfilling life. If you entrust me with your mental health care, I will offer you not only my clinical expertise and decades of experience, but also unconditional support, deep respect, and a commitment to helping you heal, grow, and thrive.
