Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes healing and growth are possible for everyone. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Through active listening, empathy, and faith-based counseling, I help clients find strength, resilience, and clarity in their journey. I am passionate about working with young adults and individuals navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and ADHD. My goal is to empower clients to understand themselves better, develop healthier coping strategies, and build a strong foundation for long-term emotional and mental well-being. Faith can provide comfort and direction, so I incorporate spiritual principles for those who seek them. I also emphasize the mind-body connection, encouraging self-care practices such as exercise, nutrition, and rest to support overall wellness. With experience in anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and mood-related concerns, I tailor my approach to each individual’s needs. Outside of counseling, I enjoy spending time with my family, attending church, traveling, listening to gospel music, cooking, and reading. I look forward to supporting you on your journey of healing, growth, and fulfillment. Together, we can navigate challenges and empower you to live a healthier, more purposeful life.

I have been a therapist for over 15 years, and I find the most affective treatment is collaborative and tailored to fit each person’s goals and needs. Whether you are coming to therapy to find new coping strategies, change unhelpful patterns, or process traumatic and painful life events, we will work together to make sure that we are always solution-focused and moving steadily toward a place of health and wellness. We cannot always choose what happens to us, or how the human body responds to its environment, but we can learn how to reframe, manage, and better process those experiences. Through an eclectic and psychodynamic approach, I can help you gain skills and insights to feel more at peace, in control, and present in your life.

I blend approaches from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness practices to fit the needs of each client I work with.

My mission is to empower you with the tools to manage your mental health while helping you to understand yourself on a deeper level.

I’m a therapist who supports adults who carry a lot—people who often feel like the steady one for everyone else while quietly feeling overwhelmed or disconnected inside.

I provide culturally sensitive and LGBTQIA+ affirming care, and I’m experienced supporting military service members, veterans, and the loved ones who share the emotional load alongside them. I’m here to walk with you as you explore who you are, heal old patterns, build healthier boundaries, and create a life and relationships that feel more grounded, honest, and sustainable.

Hi! I'm Angelica. If you are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and unsure about the future, let's talk. I help women and men learn how to be comfortable in their own skin so that anxiety does not dictate their success. Together, we can begin to identify the causes of your anxiety and work on overcoming them. If you are dealing with relationship issues, work issues, major life changes or feelings that nothing will ever change or improve, I'd like to help you to start feeling better. While meeting with me, you will have a non judgmental space to talk about what you are thinking and feeling. I approach the therapy process with empathy, cognitive behavioral techniques and solutions. I look forward to getting to know you!

Seeking strength, understanding, and a path forward? I'm not your typical therapist. I've walked the walk that you have, not just once, but twice. As a former Marine and law enforcement officer, I know firsthand the pressures, traumas, and unique challenges faced by those in service and beyond. Now, I leverage my experience and clinical expertise to guide individuals grappling with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and the invisible wounds of trauma.

I am a therapist with 25+ years of experience in diagnosis and assessment, as well as level of care placement and referrals. I practice DBT, CBT, and Animal Assisted Therapy to help adolescents and adults battling anxiety, depression, trauma, or eating disorders. My approach is person-centered and trauma-informed, as I believe clients are the ones in charge of their treatment, and my role is to empower them to achieve their goals. Due to my extensive experience in higher levels of care, I am accustomed to working with complex cases and do not shy away from high acuity. I believe that anyone who comes seeking help is motivated to change and that my role is to facilitate, not to impose. I speak fluently in Spanish and am comfortable conducting assessments and treating clients in this language if that is their preference.

My therapeutic style is supportive, collaborative, and grounded in a strength-based approach. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe and compassionate space where you can explore, heal, and grow—at your own pace and in alignment with your unique needs. I believe in taking a holistic and individualized approach, recognizing that every person’s journey is different and that healing is not one-size-fits-all.

I have lived a long and colorful life. Like everyone else, I've made good and bad choices and learned from each. I have 22+ years experience in the mental health and substance abuse treatment field.

I’m Zunaira Mian, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (NY) and Licensed Professional Counselor (CT) dedicated to providing trauma-informed, culturally responsive care. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, identity exploration, and life transitions, using evidence-based approaches like CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and REBT. My style is collaborative, structured, and attuned to each client’s values and lived experience. I strive to create a safe, empowering space where clients feel heard, respected, and supported in their growth.

With over 14 years of clinical experience as a therapist, I specialize in helping people navigate life's challenges with clarity, compassion, hope, and purpose. I take an active and collaborative approach with my clients, and my work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I see CBT not just as a clinical tool, but as a way to live your most authentic life. I believe CBT offers a framework for cultivating awareness, resilience, and intentional change, helping people align their thoughts, emotions, and actions with their deepest values. My goal for you is to a live a life in accordance with your values, and I help you achieve this by working with you to identify, challenge, and resolve any emotional, cognitive, or behavioral obstacles that stand in your way.

Hi there! As you are searching for the best therapist that is a good fit for you, first let me say "good for you!" As a therapist I bring warmth, curiosity and a sense of humor. You may be looking to address issues such as anxiety, improve relationships, or navigate transitions in your life. My approach to therapy is relational and existential in nature.

Hi, I'm Leanne! I know that reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, and I believe it takes courage to begin sharing your story with someone new.

Whether you're looking to better understand yourself, navigate a difficult period, or create lasting change, I look forward to working alongside you as you take this next step!

My philosophy as a therapist is to provide a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their experiences, challenges, and hopes while moving toward meaningful change. Rooted in a person-centered approach, I believe therapy should honor each individual’s unique values and strengths, empowering them to take steps that align with their goals. Together, we work to build resilience, foster growth, and create pathways toward a life that feels purposeful, balanced, and worth living.

With 35 years of experience as a social worker, I have had the privilege of working with individuals of all ages—from children and teens to couples and families. Over the years, I have honed a deep understanding of the unique challenges people face, whether it's managing depression, anxiety, or navigating difficult life transitions. I believe in the power of a compassionate, collaborative approach to therapy. Adolescence is a pivotal stage in a person's life, filled with unique challenges and opportunities for growth. As a retired special education social worker and school-based health center social worker from the Jefferson Parish School System, I have found working with teenagers to be particularly rewarding. Teenagers possess a refreshing honesty and openness that makes them receptive to guidance and advice. I have enjoyed the privilege of witnessing the willingness of adolescents to listen and actively engage in making positive changes in their lives. This eagerness to learn and grow is truly inspiring. My experience working with teenagers has highlighted the importance of providing support and guidance during this critical stage of development. By fostering a safe and supportive environment, we can empower adolescents to navigate challenges, overcome obstacles, and strive towards a brighter future. Adolescents have the potential to make meaningful changes for the better, and it is a privilege to be a part of their journey towards self-discovery and personal growth. As a good listener, I am committed to working alongside you to create a treatment plan that reflects your unique needs and aspirations. Together, we'll focus on your goals and take meaningful steps towards you becoming the best version of yourself. I am excited about the opportunity to work with you and support your journey to healing and growth.

As a bilingual Marriage and Family Therapist, I offer a warm, culturally responsive space where clients of all ages can feel seen, heard, and supported. My approach is holistic, collaborative, and deeply person centered, grounded in the belief that healing happens through authentic connection, self-awareness, and intentional growth. For clients who desire it, I also thoughtfully integrate faith-based perspectives into the therapeutic process. Therapy with me is more than simply talking through challenges. It is an opportunity to reconnect with yourself, break free from cycles that no longer serve you, and create lasting emotional change. Together, we will explore the roots of generational patterns, navigate intrusive thoughts with compassion, and deepen your understanding of how emotions, relationships, and life experiences shape your story.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC-D) and CASAC with experience working with adults and adolescents in outpatient and private practice settings. I support clients who may be struggling with anxiety, mood disorders, substance use, ADHD, personality disorders, and life stressors. My goal is to create a supportive and non-judgmental space where clients feel comfortable exploring their challenges while developing practical skills for growth and lasting change.

I specialize in working with high-achieving women who appear successful on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or quietly exhausted beneath the surface. Many of my clients are driven, thoughtful, and highly capable, yet find themselves struggling with anxiety, burnout, resentment, or significant life transitions. Therapy at Kaleidoscope Solutions is collaborative, active, and deeply insight-oriented. Our work focuses on understanding long-standing patterns, strengthening emotional resilience, and creating sustainable change—not just short-term symptom relief. My clients are motivated, reflective, and committed to meaningful personal growth. I accept Aetna and also offer private-pay therapy for clients seeking a more personalized therapeutic experience. Sessions are conducted virtually in a confidential and supportive environment. If you're ready for deeper insight and lasting change, I’d welcome the opportunity to connect.

I am a licensed professional counselor dedicated to helping young adults and middle-aged adults navigate the complexities of faith and mental wellness.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and received my MSW from George Mason University and have extensive experience working with adults, families and youth in the Washington D.C. area, Arizona and Oregon. In recent years, I have focused on adults experiencing life changes such as empty nesting, divorce, career changes, retirement, caring for a family member, loss/grief, and supporting professionals in the social work profession. I am a RYT 200-hour yoga teacher and like to incorporate yoga principles and practices in sessions. My approach is to provide a safe space for individuals to process their feelings, own what is theirs, and release limiting beliefs about themselves. It is my belief that everyone has the answers within themselves and the role of therapy is to support individuals on their own unique journey. It is equally as important for a therapist to have a strong commitment to their own growth in order to show up and be present for others.

Hey, I'm Carlos! I am a therapist dedicated to helping you reclaim your personal power. By integrating highly successful Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Mindfulness techniques, I help you slow down and recognize the significance of every moment.

Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming—especially if you've tried therapy before and felt misunderstood, stuck, or unsure if it was helping. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without judgment, and feel genuinely heard, supported, and understood. I'm Jenny, a neurodivergent Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with adolescents and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, trauma, and burnout. I have experience supporting neurodivergent individuals, first responders, individuals facing fertility challenges, and perinatal mental health concerns. As someone who is neurodivergent myself, I understand firsthand that many people move through the world feeling different, overwhelmed, misunderstood, or exhausted from trying to meet expectations that weren't designed with them in mind. Whether you're navigating executive functioning challenges, sensory sensitivities, masking, burnout, or simply trying to better understand yourself, therapy can provide a space where you don't have to explain or justify your experiences. Many of the individuals I work with have spent years putting others first, minimizing their own needs, or feeling like they should be able to manage everything on their own. Therapy offers an opportunity to slow down, gain insight into what's keeping you stuck, and develop tools to help you create change. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and tailored to your unique needs. I integrate evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and strengths-based approaches. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all model, I work alongside you to identify meaningful goals and create a path forward that feels realistic, sustainable, and aligned with you. You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Whether you're seeking support for a specific challenge or simply feeling ready for change, I'd be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

I listen and try to understand your situation and learn what it's like to be you. I can offer suggestions but I won't tell you what to do. I believe that my clients know what they need to do to help them heal, it might not be clear right away but after I am able to understand your problems we can work together to find solutions. It's a big step to seek counseling and to go into therapy. I respect everyone who wants to improve their mental health and well being. It isn't easy to seek help and allow oneself to be vulnerable and share ones' experience. I have listened to thousands of people and I am delighted hear everyone's story to see how I can help.

It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been a social worker for 15 years. I've worked with active duty, veterans, aging adults, kids, adolescents, couples and individuals over the course of my career. One thing that has remained constant regardless of who I've worked with, is that we all have had to combat anxiety or depression at some point. For some it has been a life long struggle, while for others there was life situation that brought those feelings on. I enjoy working with clients who are seeking strategies to manage their anxiety and depressive symptoms, because I've seen when they learn these strategies they're able to use them consistently for the other issues life brings.

You have taken the first courageous step to improving yourself. I am here to support you in this process. I have 32 years of experience working with individuals, families, adolescents, and children. With a non-judgmental approach, I help clients feel safe sharing their thoughts and feelings. Relationship issues, mood disorders, parenting challenges, issues of young adulthood including separation, self-confidence and identity, and family conflict are some of the areas I have explored with my clients. Cognitive-behavioral interventions and a strength-based solution focused approach allow individuals to gain insight into patterns of thoughts and behaviors and motivate them to make changes. Becoming aware of skills you have and harnessing them to meet your goals will result in greater satisfaction. My authentic, honest style allows individuals to quickly establish rapport and trust and leaves them feeling cared for and understood. I look forward to meeting you.

Hi there! It takes strength and courage to begin something new; and with a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment, I believe that this is where it all begins. We're human and go through difficult times which can cause us much confusion and a need for guidance, hope, and support. I strongly believe that with an individualized, strength-based, and motivational approach, you can find a new direction and way of thinking to overcome the challenges that we are faced with in our everyday lives.

My therapeutic approach integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, strength-based practices, and stress management techniques. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel seen and heard while building resilience and developing effective coping skills to manage emotional distress.

Congratulations on taking an important step toward strengthening your emotional well-being and prioritizing your mental health. Seeking support is a meaningful decision that reflects courage, self-awareness, and a commitment to personal growth. I am Dr. Vester Appiah, a doctoral-level Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Substance Abuse Treatment Practitioner (LSATP). With more than a decade of clinical experience, I specialize in providing evidence-based, compassionate care to adolescents, young adults, and adults. My approach is tailored to support individuals seeking stability, growth, and long-term healing.

I am a student who also works in the field. I understand the stress that people can experience as they deal with their daily lives. We all experience stress and depression in different ways, and I hope to help my clients understand that they are not alone in the world and that focusing on positive ways to overcome these issues can help improve their lives and relationships.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who was born and raised in the Caribbean and immigrated to the United States at age twelve. I obtained my Master's Degree from Columbia University in Social Work and have been a licensed clinician for nine years. I work with clients that struggle with depression, anxiety, self esteem, life transitions, trauma, substance misuse, psychosis, mood disorders, to name a few. My goal as a therapist is to always meet the client where they are; to provide a space where the client is heard and validated; to provide guidance, empathy, and support to allow the client to build on their own strengths to in turn process and overcome their life challenges.
