Hello, my name is Chijioke Booker! Have you noticed your life seems to move without actually being able to take that first step? A cycle that you can't get out of? Is it hard to find people who you can talk to without feeling judge? Do you want to gain understanding and control over your life, your relationships, work, and health? I work with individuals who want to regain and revive their sense of self in a world where it can feel isolating and alone. I help individuals who struggle with feelings of depression, anxiety, stress or the lost of control over who they are at the core. Together we will identify triggers and coping skills to decrease episodes of depression and anxiety. We will outline self-destructive behavior patterns and recreate roadmaps to avoid repeated unhealthy choices in once life. This is incorporated through talk-therapy and mindfulness techniques help individuals regain balance. When dealing with areas of conflict within your relationships, issues with attachment/adjustment issues, poor communication, life-transitions or creating a work-life balance therapy is for you. I am here to be your support individuals through this stage in your life. Therapy can be feel overwhelming and scary but it's the right step to revive the essence of who you are. It is a safe place that is designated for you to be authentically you. I will meet you where you are by using evidence-base techniques to help you regain control. It's time to BREATHE! I look forward to working with you!

Hi there, my name is Karen. Are symptoms of stress, anxiety and/or depression getting in the way of you enjoying life to its fullest? Are your relationships or job performance feeling the impact too? Accepting support could be the best decision you make to start heading in a much better direction. I find it to be an incredible honor to get to know clients, no matter where they are on their journeys. And I love the process of holding a safe space for those ready to do what it takes to break free of the perceived limitations that difficult symptoms conspire to create. And for those just thinking about getting ready too! I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches (including CBT, Nurtured Heart, EFT), infused with some humor and deep reverence for the clients with whom I have the honor of meeting. If you're looking for support, even if it's not with me, I hope you take that first step today!

Welcome-I’m glad you’re here. If you’re ready to move beyond old patterns and cultivate a life defined by authenticity, self-trust, and purpose, this is a space for you. My work as a therapist centers on helping you understand the deeper experiences and relational patterns that shape how you see yourself, navigate relationships, and move through the world. Together, we’ll look beyond the surface to uncover what may be holding you back, creating space for greater clarity, intentional growth, and meaningful change. I believe that understanding your story is an essential part of transforming it. Through our work, we’ll explore your experiences with curiosity and compassion, strengthen your relationship with yourself, and develop healthier ways of connecting with others. Therapy with me is more than a place to process your experiences. It’s an opportunity to deepen your self-awareness, gain meaningful perspective, and develop practical tools that support you beyond our sessions. Our work will build on your existing strengths while helping you cultivate the insight and confidence to make choices that align with your values and the life you envision. You already possess the capacity for growth. My role is to help you access it, trust your inner wisdom, and move forward with greater intention. This is where you begin to reclaim your peace and reconnect with yourself. As you learn to slow down and feel more grounded, you can develop a quiet sense of inner authority—a confidence that allows you to honor your needs, establish healthy boundaries, trust your voice, and navigate life with greater ease and assurance. You don’t have to remain defined by what you’ve experienced. You can create a life that reflects who you are, what matters to you, and who you are becoming.

I'm Melissa, a psychotherapist in private practice for nine years. My approach to therapy is collaborative and whole life centered. Areas of specialty include Women's Issues (fertility, post-partum, motherhood, identity, etc,) relationship issues, and ADHD. I became a therapist because therapy changed me, and continues to empower me. I'm honored to help you process traumas or life's everyday stressors, support you in meeting goals we design together, and help you better love the one and only unique you. "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change." - Dr. Carl Rogers My own ADHD diagnosis at age 30 was life altering, and continues to fuel my compassion for clients struggling to figure themselves out. I also love empowering clients to strengthen their relationships, have more empathy for themselves and others, and discover what calm contentment means to them and how to achieve it.

Life is hard. Sometimes it feels like problems come one after another. It is overwhelming. You don't have to get through it alone. Therapy is a great place to talk about life's problems where you can say anything and not be judged. No matter what you’re facing, talking with someone can help. My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free space where you feel like you’re grabbing coffee with a friend…a friend who happens to be a licensed counselor with more than 11 years of experience. In my time working as a counselor, I have helped patients manage and overcome obstacles like anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. From challenges with the overwhelming pressure of academic life, work life, career choices, relationship challenges, and more, I will be there to offer an objective perspective on your situation and provide healthy tips and resources to navigate it. My approach empowers personal growth while always ensuring you feel safe, seen, and heard. Depending on your needs, I utilize CBT, DBT, and Reality Therapy approaches in sessions. Currently, all sessions will be conducted virtually, allowing you to participate from the comfort of your own home and on a more flexible schedule. Let's do this together.

Hi, I’m Kyra, a licensed clinical social worker who offers depth-oriented therapy for thoughtful, sensitive, and insight-seeking adults. Many of the people I work with are carrying trauma, grief, shame, relationship wounds, creative blockage, spiritual questions, or a sense that they’ve spent too long disconnected from their own inner life. My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in depth psychology. I help clients look beneath surface symptoms to understand patterns, emotional realities, and the deeper meanings shaping their lives. This work is often especially meaningful for people who are reflective, neurodivergent, creative, spiritually curious, or simply looking for something more honest than quick fixes. Before private practice, I worked for years in rape crisis, domestic violence, social service, and carceral settings with people impacted by trauma, oppression, instability, and violence. That background continues to shape my work in a profound way. I bring warmth, seriousness, and a strong social justice lens to the therapy relationship. If you are looking for therapy that is thoughtful, nonjudgmental, depth-oriented, and open to real inner work, we may be a good fit.

Hello! Welcome to my site, my name is Ryan Brooks Leslie, licensed professional counselor and registered art therapist. I'm glad you found me here. There are few situations in life which are comparable to being in therapy; A helping relationship based on mutual respect, honesty, humility, educated/objective guidance, and genuine connection, in order for you to better navigate this thing we call "life". Being able to say anything, without fear of judgment, reproach, or rejection can allow you to truly face the obstacles that separate you from happiness and freedom; to be the best and most fulfilled version of yourself. I have spent the better part of 18 years educating myself and honing my counseling skills to people in this endeavor, and I must say I love being a therapist and have great confidence in my therapeutic skills and their benefit to you. I am experienced in addictions, trauma (EMDR- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, improving social skills, existential life issues and transitions. I have found that it is often a combination of forces within and without of ourselves that create our unique situations that we need help with. While I have many methods to facilitate processing (talking, art therapy, mindfulness, EMDR), I believe that you are the expert of your unique story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming the challenges of your life. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I commend you for your effort and I am here to support, empower and be a fellow traveler on your journey. "The most powerful thing in the world, is an idea whose time has come"- Victor Hugo
