If you want a different kind of experience with someone who is open-minded, accepting, warm, curious, and insightful, I can help. We all have a story that's influenced by everything that has happened in our lives, and we are each in charge of the way that story unfolds. I love to use stories, myths, and visual analogies in my work. Let's work on yours together!
I have served clients for 17 years and have significant experience with groups, families, adults, adolescents, and children. I am a licensed professional counselor and a national certified counselor.
My philosophy of counseling is inspired by the work of Carl Jung who incorporated concepts of archetypes into his theories and I am interested in discovering how we can apply these ideas to our daily lives using a depth psychology perspective. We are all here for a reason and can change the world from within. I'd be honored to help you on your journey.

Hello, my name is Ricardo Guzman, LCSW. I identify as openly gay and was born in Honduras, but have also lived in Hong Kong, China; St. Paul, MN; and New York City. What inspired me to become a therapist were my own struggles with Coming-out of the closet, experiencing anxiety and depression, having my first heartbreak, as well as dealing with addiction (I am Sober), so I've been there myself. Therapy has helped me find healing in my own life and I know it can do the same to you. I will help you get back to self-love and acceptance.

With over 12 years of experience in crisis services, I bring a calm, grounded, and compassionate presence to my private practice. I am deeply committed to working with individuals who are choosing therapy as an intentional step towards healing, growth, and emotional wellness.
I believe mental wellness—like physical health—exists on a continuum and looks different for every person. Life’s challenges can create emotional peaks and valleys, and therapy offers a supportive space to develop the insight, skills, and resilience needed to navigate them more effectively. My role is to partner with you in the therapeutic process, helping you strengthen self-regulation, build emotional awareness, and reduce the likelihood of future crises.
My clinical approach is collaborative and tailored to each client. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy, integrating mindfulness-based practices to support self-reflection, emotional balance, and long-term fulfillment. Together, we work to identify patterns, build practical coping strategies, and cultivate meaningful, sustainable change.
In addition to individual therapy, I am committed to education, training, and family support as tools to reduce stigma and increase access to mental health care. Seeking support is a strength, and you do not have to navigate life’s challenges alone.
If you are ready to invest in your mental wellness and begin a thoughtful, supportive therapeutic journey, I invite you to schedule an appointment.

Feeling lost in the chaos of life or dealing with the tough stuff most therapists won’t touch? You've come to the right place. Welcome! My name is JoJo, Psychotherapist & LPC in TX, GA, LA, CO, SC, ID, and MD. I specialize in complex psychological disorders, mood instability, trauma, and emotional/ behavioral dysregulation. Therapy isn’t just venting—I’m not here for small talk. I’m here to challenge, teach, and help you grow with real change. Therapy with me will never be a cliche or endless “How does that make you feel (s)?" I believe that true healing happens when we bring the mind and body into the same conversation.
Who I Work With
I work extensively with individuals with high functioning individuals with a history of borderline personality disorder (BPD), dissociation (DID), other complex or overlapping conditions with ADHD, bipolar, anxiety, and complex mood presentations. My focus is on the complicated stuff using innovative ways that traditional approaches may not fully address.
I best work with high-functioning adult women who are managing careers, parenting, relationships, and responsibilities on the outside, but feel overwhelmed, emotionally stretched, or stuck on the inside. that have a history of ADHD or BPD. Many of my clients struggle with emotional intensity, black-and-white thinking, or feeling pulled between extremes while trying to make sense of themselves and their experiences.
That’s why I incorporate behavioral and specialized approaches, including Brainspotting, Ketamine Assisted psychotherapy, creative expressive play, and counterintuitive skills, all tailored to fit your needs. So if you’re tired of basic coping, ready to understand your patterns, and open to doing deeper, active work, this space was created for you. Let me help you find the power of the grey area.

Hello, I'm Dr. Ellinor Burke and I'm a psychologist licensed in the state of Georgia. I've been in practice for more than 20 years and I've struggled with some of the same issues many of you do. I have developed effective treatments for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder because I have dealt with this disorder myself. If you're looking for an effective treatment I have one. Many of us are worriers and have anxiety related to this. Anxiety can have a draining effect on your life but it is treatable. .I use cognitive and behavioral therapy combined with supportive therapy to help you get to that positive place in your life. If you're dealing with depression I'm also here to help by looking at how your thoughts feelings and behaviors influence each other and how we can work together to deal with these issues. I see patients with varying issues and from many age groups. All in all a diverse population.
I was a school psychologist for more than ten years and I do educational assessments as well as therapy for adolescents. I find teenagers are some of the most challenging and rewarding to work with.
My work is very emotionally rewarding which is why I've been in practice for so many years. I'm now considering expanding my practice to a hybrid practice which will include seeing clients both remotely and in my office. Therapy begins with me getting to know you and for you to feel comfortable with me. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment because therapy works when we have a positive connection which I hope we will have.

I work with adults who are navigating depression, relationship struggles, substance use and co-occurring disorders, complicated family dynamics, academic or career stress, life transitions, and the impact of trauma. Whatever brings you to therapy, my goal is to meet you where you are and create a space that feels supportive, steady, and real.
In our work together, I bring curiosity, reflection, and a bit of humor into the room. I draw from approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness, and I tailor our sessions to what feels most helpful for you. Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and we’ll figure out what works best—together.
I aim to offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where we can look at patterns that may be keeping you stuck, make room for difficult emotions, and practice being a little kinder to yourself along the way. Therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating or overly clinical—it can be thoughtful, engaging, and even relieving.
Clients often describe me as both compassionate and direct. You don’t have to do this alone. I’d be honored to be on your team as we take it one step at a time.

What happens during the first therapy session?
What happens during the first therapy session?
Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
