My professional journey has been shaped by a deep commitment to helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges, cultivate resilience, and discover their fullest potential.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 23 years of experience. I know that therapy should be a team approach. I have learned that you, the client, are the expert on yourself. I am here to help guide and empower you to discover your full potential. It is important to me to create a safe environment for healing.

My approach is trauma-informed and integrative, drawing heavily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and evidence-based strategies for anxiety and emotional well-being. In our work together, I focus on helping you better understand yourself, process what you’re going or have gone through, and build practical tools to manage anxiety, trauma, depression, and life’s daily challenges. I believe in supporting healing from a trauma-informed lens while also empowering you to recognize your own strengths and growth along the way. If you’re feeling nervous about starting therapy, I often remind clients: Life will always bring challenges, and we all need support in navigating them. Seeking help is not something to be ashamed or afraid of; it’s a meaningful sign of strength and growth. Plus, there is a world of possibilities on the other side of your fear. Outside of sessions, you’ll usually find me laughing or trying new foods; ideally both at the same time, but I’m not picky.

Hi, I’m Grace! I work with teens and young adults, ages 13–25, who may be dealing with anxiety, depression, big or overwhelming emotions, unhealthy coping habits, or just having a hard time adjusting to changes in life. I try to keep therapy warm, comfortable, and down-to-earth, so you can feel like you can be yourself and talk openly without worrying about being judged. We’ll work together to better understand what you’re going through, find healthier ways to cope, and figure out what can help you feel more in control and like yourself again. My goal is to meet you where you’re at, listen without judgment, and help you feel supported while we work through whatever life is throwing your way.

One of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. I applaud you on taking this first step in investing in your growth and personal development.

By promoting a safe, judgement free, and shame free environment, my aim is to allow you the freedom to explore your experiences with a sense of curiosity, compassion, openness, and acceptance. I offer online counseling to individuals, families and groups to help them develop the skills necessary to successfully overcome challenges in life. My background as a high school and college counselor also gives me a wealth of experience to draw from when working with families, adolescents, and young adults. As your therapist, I believe that the healing process begins by creating a safe environment and building and maintaining a strong therapeutic relationship. My ultimate goal is to empower you to make positive life changes while helping you develop confidence in your ability to achieve a healthy balance in all aspects of your life.

My goal is to provide a safe space for patients, family members and medical providers to work through their thoughts and feelings. The approach to your therapy will be one of collaboration, with me providing support in a non-judgmental environment and you making the final decisions on which path you wish to embark on.

I've been a clinician for over 25 years, providing evidence-based clinical counseling and clinical hypnosis to those impacted by grief and loss, life changing events, relationship issues, anxiety and stress. I have worked with children, adolescents and adults and specialize in Military and family life issues. We all struggle sometimes. I like to help you build a self help toolbox to cope when life presents us with unexpected situations or events. My goal is to help you help yourself, but also know when to reach out for help if you need to. I want to humanize and normalize situations and events that set us back a bit. I provide a safe place to share difficult situations without judgement. You matter!

Clients should know that I’m down-to-earth, non-judgmental, and a genuine person. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe enough to be real—no masks, no pressure, no shame. I bring warmth and care into the room, along with a sense of humor when it’s helpful, because healing doesn’t always have to feel heavy to be meaningful. I’m also solution-focused and collaborative. That means we’ll spend time understanding what’s going on, but we won’t get stuck there. We’ll work together to identify practical tools, coping strategies, and small, realistic steps that can help you feel better in your day-to-day life. Above all, I care deeply about meeting you where you are and supporting you in a way that feels respectful, empowering, and aligned with your goals.

Practice Boundaries & Administrative Policies To maintain a clear focus on clinical care, please review the following scope boundaries: *Legal & Forensic Services: I do not provide forensic evaluations, court-ordered treatment, litigation support, or expert witness testimony for legal proceedings, divorce, or custody disputes. *Disability & Administrative Paperwork: I do not perform disability evaluations or complete short/long-term disability claims; I do not write Emotional Support Animal (ESA) letters. *Telehealth & Medical Requirements: Virtual therapy for chronic pain, ARFID, or medical distress serves strictly as a complementary psychological service. Because virtual care lacks physical monitoring: A. Clients with ARFID or eating disorders must maintain ongoing care with an in-person physician for routine medical safety. B. Clients seeking pain reprocessing or somatic therapy must have their pain evaluated by a physician. ******If medical or psychiatric needs exceed virtual outpatient scope, I will assist with referrals to local in-person providers**************

Hi I'm Berekat Petros, a licensed mental health counselor. I've been a practicing therapist for over 12 years in various settings, working with a diverse client population. I love the therapy experience and watching my clients get better through our work together. I have been fortunate thus far in my career to have worked with hundreds of clients, and have enjoyed the privilege of helping them. I have strong academic foundation in evidenced based treatment methodologies, and to that I add lessons learned from my own life experiences as a husband, a dad and a friend.
