Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and/or others? Do you feel like your life could be more fulfilled? Life entails wins, successes, accomplishments, ups and downs, transitions, unexpected events, detours, stumbling blocks, and so much more. My passion is boosting your self-efficacy, meanwhile, helping you to identify and implement new perspectives and practices to transform and start living a better life. It might mean learning to set boundaries, working through a loss, coping with life transition(s), altering your thinking process, and changing behavior(s) and patterns that are keeping you stuck. Regardless of what it is, my goal is to normalize prioritizing your self-care, improve your coping capacity, build resilience, and increase your self-awareness.

Well hello! My name is Lori.
Are you feeling the need to live your life differently? Are the things you've tried in the past no longer beneficial or adequate for this stage in your life?
I encourage my clients to do the things that they've never done in order to experience the life they've always wanted. I help them identify the source of what has limited them and caused them emotional pain, whether it be from anxiety or depression stemming from childhood trauma, broken relationships, toxic work environment, sexuality, aging, or religious trauma to name a few.
I enjoy working alongside my clients and being a part of their "aha!!" moments on their life's journey. I utilize my belief in the interconnectedness of humanity with nature to assist my clients in understanding life, growth, change, grace and what constitutes true success.

Welcome! I'm glad you are making the decision to prioritize your needs. With the pressures of the world and our own self-criticism, it can feel impossible to uncover our own self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-worth. These emotions and feelings can show up in our lives in many different ways. Not wanting to get out bed. Placing limits on yourself due to a fear of failing. The expectations you place on yourself and are given to you by others can feel suffocating.
I offer a comfortable space to be allow yourself to be vulnerable and find your strength to lead your life the way you choose. We will work on recognizing patterns of behavior and disrupting negative cycles. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to on track.
Life is too short to not give yourself an opportunity to make positive changes in your life. Reaching out to a therapist can be intimidating. The fact that you made it to my profile is a WIN!

Yes! You already took the first step by reading this, so let’s take the rest together. I get it, you may have been dealing with life, and all of its problems, alone. It’s stressful and it seems as though it's easier to just give up, but before you do, imagine this…
What if I told you that you do not have to experience that anymore? What if I told you that it gets easier and more manageable with a therapist? Would that change your mind? Life can be hard and feeling like you have to handle it all on your own is even harder. We want to feel heard, understood, and supported, but sometimes, people really just don’t understand. People may recommend therapy as an option, but usually that is met with “But there’s nothing wrong with me.” I always say that when someone seeks therapy, it doesn’t mean something is wrong with them, it means that they are dedicated to making sure nothing goes wrong. Going through therapy can be overwhelming at times, but with the right support and an open mind, therapy can be a very rewarding experience towards peace of mind and an improved quality of life. The best part about therapy is that YOU are in control! It is a journey that we will take together with you in the driver’s seat and me guiding you from the passenger side, and maybe choosing an awesome playlist from time to time! (As you can see, I like to add a little humor). I hope that once we develop a trusting relationship, we can work together to address some of your concerns and goals for the future. You made it this far, why not see if we’re a good match?

Hi, I'm Ashley! I help women tap into their resilience, restore hope, and transform their lives with authenticity, compassion, and a passion for seeing women thrive. I like to consider myself THE therapist for women. My mission is to help individuals navigate life’s difficulties to become the best possible versions of themselves. Both my clinical and personal experiences have taught me that, though we cannot control everything, we can control our behaviors, perspectives, beliefs, actions, and HEALING. I plan to equip you with the tools needed to promote your overall well-being and facilitate lasting positive change.
I hold EMDR and talk therapy sessions with clients who struggle with trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and difficulty navigating challenges and transitions. However, I specialize in perinatal mental health, infertility, and EMDR. In addition, I run a support group for women struggling with infertility.
Through additional training and certifications, I have and continue to develop a variety of tools to support you, and I may use different techniques during our work together. Accordingly, my approach is best described as client-centered and strengths-based, drawing also on theories and strategies of cognitive-behavioral therapy.
When I am not practicing as a therapist, I am spending time with my family. We love to stuff our faces with tasty food and find new adventures. I also dabble in wedding photography as a creative outlet. But generally, you will find me advocating for women struggling with infertility and all the experiences it brings. I can't wait to work with you!

Imagine life is like a journey completely in your control but you feel stuck. Choices you make dictate life’s obstacles and they can be tricky. Life’s journey comes with no instruction pamphlet or ready-made companions. A path unfolds and you decide what to do and who to trust along the way. As you journey you begin to see things you want, potential companions, places you want to explore, and tools you can use to make travels simpler. There are so many choices to make with no time to stop and contemplate the best decision; you have to keep going by making choices every day, about everything. Decisions and deadlines do not wait.
Consequences of decisions do not wait for preparations of readiness. Age does not determine how hard life can be nor deter reality. Whether you are age 5 or 95, you have to wake up daily and continue life’s journey, but it is not always an easy task. My theoretical orientation is Person-Centered Therapy and Gestalt Therapy. Let me be your Phoenix!
I believe life’s tools are inside of us, self-actualization, self-trust, coping strategies, and the willingness to grow. We simply must explore them. At Rapunzel's Phoenix Counseling Services, I help toddlers, children, adolescents, adults, families, and the LGBTQIAPK community. Online Counseling Services are available upon request.

Hi, My name is Kristel. I am an LCSW who provides talk therapy via Telehealth. I am a multifaceted individual with a deep well of life experiences that inform my perspective. As a former military brat and spouse (married 18 years), working mother, single mother, trauma survivor, I've intimately understood the complexities of life's transitions. My journey has taken me from being a stay-at-home mom to transitioning back into the workforce, granting me a unique appreciation for both roles.
I'm a devoted mother of two children, and my path has been marked by significant challenges, including the struggle with infertility and profound grief. I proudly identify as a feminist and supporter of the LGBTQ+ community. These aspects of my identity deeply influence my approach to life and work.
With a background in working with families, individuals, and children, I bring a wealth of experience. My personal journey has shaped my empathetic, compassionate, and inclusive perspective, which I offer as a source of support and understanding to those I work with.
