Breathe. Inhale… exhale. Has your cape become kryptonite to your self-care? Have you been overwhelmed by life’s challenges, struggling to control your emotions, or battling self-doubt?

Every person has a story. The culmination of experiences in one's life shapes how they view themselves, their relationships, and the world. I have a passion for helping clients celebrate their unique strengths and gifts they share with others. With experiences in both private practice and hospitals, I have noticed a particular need for clients to separate their view of themselves from their current difficulties and circumstances. In spite of where clients may find themselves at the moment, my belief is that they have overcome every difficulty, challenge, and trauma that they have faced up to the present moment. As such, they will withstand their current circumstances, and will again declare victory.

Are you feeling lost or alone? Do you feel unseen or unheard? Do you feel you are holding everything together? As a marriage and family therapist specializing in adult family relationships, I am passionate about helping individuals and families navigate through their most challenging times with authenticity to their own values while also achieving deeper connections with their spouses, or their families. With over 10 years of experience in the field, I work with you to create a safe and supportive environment for you to share their deepest concerns and take the steps you always knew you could! Family dynamics can be complex, especially as individuals navigate through adulthood. You may find old patterns hard to shake. Through careful reflection, we explore patterns of brokenness in order to promote true healing and lasting change. You can develop a deeper understanding of familial patterns and behaviors, and ultimately foster stronger, healthier relationships. Many of those I work with are self-proclaimed perfectionists, Type A Personalities, and high Achievers experiencing burnout. Often, this burnout stems from feeling like "no one else will step up" so you do. We work together to learn to lay the heavy load down and show up fully as yourself in order to create a more balanced work/life balance. We identify beliefs supporting driven behavior and pressures living. While also taking steps to put sustainable boundaries in place and strengthen your relationships so you can have real periods of relaxation without the guilt! I am committed to empowering you to lead a fulfilling, meaningful life. I believe that everyone deserves to feel heard, supported, and understood, and together we find the tools and resources to make that a reality.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist I have particular experience and training in understanding individuals in the context of their relationships, families, and social identities. Sometimes our distress isn't just about what we're doing or not doing. Oftentimes, it's about how we move through the world in our social identities and how the world perceives and interacts with us so I want you to be able to talk about that in therapy. I can relate and find it meaningful to work with individuals suffering from anxiety. Anxiety can be crippling and paralyzing, causing us to overthink which can get in the way of so many things in life from accomplishing goals, trying new things, socializing, sleeping or even smaller things that add up until you're overwhelmed with them, like answering the phone or checking your mail. If you're feeling misunderstood, like you can't be yourself, anxious, worried, or trapped in repeating patterns that are causing you pain, I will join you where you are and we can work together to help you create a secure sense of self, and restore and improve relationships.

Let me guess: You've been thinking about therapy for a while now. Maybe months, maybe years, but something kept stopping you. Too busy, too expensive, "it's not that bad yet," or maybe just the fear of opening up to a stranger who might judge you or not really get it. Here's what I want you to know: You don't need to wait until things get worse, you don't need permission to ask for help, and you don't have to figure this out alone. That's why I'm here. As a board-certified bilingual therapist, veteran, and founder of www.TalkHealRepeat.com , I've spent over 10 years supporting thousands of clients through trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions that once felt impossible, from crisis units and corrections facilities to refugee shelters and quiet therapy rooms, working with chronic mental illness, personality disorders, abuse, trauma, ADHD, OCD, addictions, and some of the hardest moments of their lives. Here's what I know for sure: healing doesn't require perfection, it requires honesty and someone who actually gets it. You're not broken, you're dealing with hard things, and you deserve help that feels supportive, not cold, not judgmental, not like one more thing you're supposed to "fix" about yourself. 🔺If you can’t find a time on my calendar, message me. I’ll move things around, lose a lunch break, get creative. You showing up here already tells me everything I need to know about you.

Together, we work to uncover those patterns, increase self-awareness, and create meaningful, lasting change. My approach is warm, reflective, trauma-informed, and collaborative. I strive to create an environment where clients feel emotionally safe, genuinely seen, and supported while also being thoughtfully challenged to grow. I integrate evidence-based therapeutic practices with coaching strategies to help clients navigate emotional barriers, improve communication, strengthen boundaries, and align their actions with their values and goals. In my work as an Executive Therapeutic Coach, I support professionals, leaders, and high-achieving individuals who may be managing stress, burnout, imposter syndrome, relationship challenges, or major life and career transitions. I help clients develop greater emotional intelligence, resilience, confidence, and clarity so they can lead and live more authentically. Whether you are seeking healing from past wounds, navigating a difficult season, improving relationships, or pursuing personal and professional growth, I am committed to walking alongside you. My goal is to help you gain deeper insight, build on your strengths, and create the lasting changes necessary to live with greater balance, purpose, connection, and well-being. Please Note: Couples therapy is provided privately - contact me directly for next steps.

I’m a therapist who sees and treats you as a unique individual — not just a diagnosis or a checklist of symptoms. My goal is to meet you where you are, walk with you through your journey, and support you in reaching a place where you’re not just surviving, but truly thriving. I offer therapy grounded in compassion, care, and consistency. I believe in holding space for both grace and accountability — creating a safe environment where you can be honest with yourself, challenge unhelpful patterns, and grow. Together, we’ll work to identify and confront the distorted thoughts and false beliefs that often fuel anxiety, depression, and disconnection. My deepest desire is to help you break free from cycles that keep you stuck and to support your movement toward healing, clarity, and wholeness.

Shamice is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Shamice’s number one priority is to create a safe place where clients feel comfortable sharing their life experiences and working towards the healing process. Shamice’s passion to begin her profession in therapy arose when she was working with families who recently had their children removed from their homes. At that time, she realized the adverse impact that it had on the children and families’ mental health and decided to make the decision to get on the other side of the problem. Shamice is trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, exposure response and prevention therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). She is also trained in habit reversal therapy for body-focused repetitive behaviors. Shamice works with a diverse population, ranging from pre-teens to adults. She specializes in OCD, Anxiety and Mood Disorders and diminished sense of well-being or life purpose. She works with children, teens, and adults.

Hi there, I'm Alisha. Do you feel that you have not discovered your purpose in life? Do you feel that life has handed you some obstacles that are unmanageable? Do you struggle with setting boundaries and self-care? I believe therapy should be a safe place where you can be completely transparent, not feel judged, or feel uncomfortable when unpacking trauma or dealing with internal conflict. Most individuals benefit from working with a qualified and experienced therapist to assist with identifying their problem areas and finding effective solutions to resolve personal issues. I follow the basic principles of the “golden rule,” which is to always treat others the way we would like to be treated. Life can definitely be a challenge and it is important to receive unconditional positive regard and support from an experienced counselor. So, whether you need assistance with a breakthrough or just need someone to talk with in a safe and therapeutic environment, I am the right fit for you!

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

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.
