The world reflects our inner views, serving as a looking glass for what we hold within. While you may not always influence surrounding circumstances, expanding your inner reality can majorly impact how you relate to them. By taking charge of your beliefs and addressing their roots, you can improve your relationships, be more at ease with your circumstances, and become more empowered. Seeing people grow, expand, and deepen connections between them is inspiring.

My Approach is non judge mental and client centered. I am passionate about helping others grow through mental health and realize that life can be challenging and creating change can be difficult. I have been providing individuals with mental health treatment for 10 years and find my clinical strength is with individuals who struggle with thinking patterns, anxiety, depression, anger, parenting, and marriage discourse. I focus a lot on thinking patterns, emotions, behaviors and their connections as well as building insight and awareness into thoughts and behaviors that create barriers in life or sustain challenges. I utilize CBT, DBT, EFT, SF, and Narrative therapy for the most part and also focus on the nervous system/polyvagal to assist with calming the body and rewiring what it has learned through distress. My objective is to create an atmosphere of acceptance, understanding, and to allow clients to feel safe while processing their thoughts and feelings while gently providing psycho education and techniques to assist.

You Know What You Should Do—So Why Are You Still Stuck? You’re so frustrated with yourself. You want to start a better habit, make that healthy choice, or finally do something good for yourself… but somehow, another day ends and nothing has changed. You numb out with TV, scrolling, or distractions—not because you’re lazy, but because you’re overwhelmed, unmotivated, and stuck in patterns that feel impossible to break. You keep asking, “What’s wrong with me?” You talk yourself up, try to rally motivation, even map out a plan—but when the moment comes, you shut down. Then the guilt kicks in. Again. You’re not broken—you’re just stuck. And that’s exactly where therapy comes in. I’m Tammy Brooks, LMFT, and I specialize in online anxiety therapy and habit change counseling for adults across California, Michigan, Missouri, and Texas. With Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, we won’t dwell on what’s not working—we’ll identify what is working and build momentum from there. My approach is action-oriented, personalized, and designed to get results. While other therapists may offer lower rates or more reviews, I offer focused expertise to help you move from self-blame to self-trust and fast. Instead of rehashing the past week after week, I ask thoughtful, goal-oriented questions that guide you toward the hopeful, confident version of yourself—the one who says, “I’ve got this,” even when life throws curveballs. We’ll work together to uncover your strengths, explore your dreams, and focus on small steps that create real progress. You may even surprise yourself by reconnecting with coping skills you forgot you had—or discovering new ones you’ve always been capable of trying. If you’re ready for a personalized, results-driven approach—not just a therapy “session,” but a space to rediscover your strength—book your appointment today—and take that first step toward a brighter, more manageable tomorrow.

**ACCEPTING ADULTS (18+) ONLY** Hi, I'm Yang. And I'm here to help you heal from self-abandonment and emotional dysregulation. Self-abandonment occurs when we struggle to stand up for our needs and live by our authentic values; often, we don't even know what they are. Those who struggle with self-abandonment don't feel like they know who they really are, and what they want, and often feel directionless and ungrounded. We feel small, afraid, anxious, aggressive and dependent on others. Emotional dysregulation occurs when we don't understand our emotions and how to manage them. They control us, instead of the other way around. We behave in ways we wish we didn't, and we build up shame around those behaviors as if they are who we are. We cannot separate our emotions from who we are. These issues often lie at the heart of different mental health struggles, such as depression, anxiety, as well as many relationship challenges. The good news is that resolving these, therefore, can potentially lead to ripple effects of change in your life.

I understand what it's like to be anxious, to be depressed, or to just feel lost. So I'd like to help you, if I can, to find your way towards wellness, happiness, and a fulfilling life. But I know you need the right help at the right time, and that is my first goal -- to make sure I'm the right therapist for you now. I don't work with all issues, so let's go over that now. And if I'm not the right person, I'll give you referrals for other qualified therapists. I want you to have what you need, and a therapist that is great for you, whether it's me, or someone else. So here's some info on my work: I do work with individuals, and with couples. I don't work with issues of Domestic Violence, Suicidal Ideation, Self Harm, Harm to Others, Addictions, Eating Disorders, Anger Management or any legal issues. What I do work with is self-doubt, anxiety, sadness or depression, and relationship issues. I'm good with helping people heal wounds about themselves. And I love doing relationship work: I believe that love and belonging are most people's priority in life, and if you are on the journey to find that, or need to repair a love you already have, I'm glad to help if I can. I'm familiar with most modalities of therapy. I focus mostly on Strengths-Based work, Narrative Therapy, and Compassion-Based CBT. And I'll be paying close attention to you and engaging in ongoing assessments: how you feel, think and believe are crucial to helping us find what's right for you. So communication is key. We'll talk, we'll listen, we'll collaborate, and we'll work as a team towards getting you to feel better and make choices that honor your needs, and your chosen path.

Hello, I am Kathleen. Do you feel overwhelmed, burnt out or pulled in a million different directions? Are you struggling with your relationships, work or health? Is it difficult for you to find time for yourself, let alone, be kind to yourself? Do you feel "stuck" and unable to move forward? Many of us are experiencing loneliness, depression, anxiety and social isolation, so it is important to make caring for yourself a priority. Therapy can help you feel more connected, balanced and peaceful. Together, we can help identify what is not working and regain a sense of balance. We'll use a holistic approach, addressing the needs of your body, mind and spirit. We will develop a "toolbox" of coping skills and create new insights and awarenesses to help you become a happier and healthier version of yourself. Seeking therapy can feel threatening but it's one of the greatest gifts you can give to yourself and by doing so also give to others. In our sessions, I will meet you with kindness, compassion, humor and evidence-based modalities, so you can overcome obstacles and habits that may be holding you back. My goal as your therapist is to provide a safe, supportive and empathic environment in which to work through current issues, conflicting relationships and/or past pain. I look forward to meeting you and working together.

Hi there, I'm Alicia. Are you feeling lost or stuck in some aspect of your life and finding it hard to move forward? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? With your permission, I help to hold the container for deeper exploration and healing. I am a trauma-based therapist certified in EMDR and versed in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). I believe that each of us possesses an internal source of wisdom that can be cultivated through psychotherapy, psychedelic medicines, meditation practices, yoga and other connecting practices that link the brain, body and spirit. My therapeutic approach has a foundation of mindfulness and compassion, curiosity and respect. I often use EMDR as an evidence-based approach to working with trauma and other issues. I am sensitive to the impact of one's social, physical and cultural environment as well as systems of oppression. Clients say my approach is warm, relational, collaborative, strengths-based and trauma-informed. I cannot do the work for you, but I can help you along the way, and it is truly an honor and a joy for me.

We will work together so you can awaken yourself, connect to your authentic self and live a balanced fulfilled life. I work with individuals who want to grow and heal. My passion in overall well-being allows me to focus on helping you break out of limiting beliefs + develop healthy ways of coping so that you can grow and create a life you desire. I offer EMDR therapy (EMDR in training w/ consultation). In EMDR, I guide clients through processing distressing memories by using bilateral stimulation (like eye movements) to help the brain reprocess trauma in a less overwhelming way. I integrate EMDR with somatic and breathwork techniques to support deep healing and nervous system regulation. I honor you for your courage to show up and seek the support you are needing to help you meet your future self and thrive, rather than survive.

Feeling stressed? Anxious? Depressed? Are you struggling to regulate your moods on your own? Hello, I'm Nellie Finn. I have extensive training in both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. I view my role as your mental health coach, who is here to share tools, feedback and support that will help you build your resilience, deal with challenges and manage your reactions to daily stressors. Yes, stress is part of everyday life but learning healthy coping strategies will help you feel empowered and ready to take on whatever life throws at you. Utilizing a Solution Focused approach, together we will have a goal-oriented focus to problem-solving. This approach will move you away from feeling helpless to feeling hopeful and inspired. Solution Focused goals are set up incrementally, so you build on your success. Regardless of how small the success, it is worth celebrating each step of the way, at each session meeting. I have many years of successful counseling experience supporting a diverse population of individuals from ages 18 thru 84. I enjoy working with individuals from all backgrounds. I understand the challenges many of us are facing with trying to balance personal needs, cultural challenges, developmental stages, relationships, partners, family, single life, married life, financial stress, career-building (career set-backs & toxic work cultures), high demand careers (law, nursing, education...) parenting, fertility issues, and modern dating. With unwavering optimistic positive support, I am here to help you feel listened to, supported and appreciated. For me, it is an honor to support you on your journey to feel better.
