Emily Echeverria
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, MS
In childhood, we develop a number of coping mechanisms to adapt to the world we have been born into: people-pleasing, perfectionism, addiction, achievement, avoidance of conflict or uncomfortable feeling, codependency, etc. Usually, we seek therapy when these coping mechanisms that worked so well in our younger years are now actively harming us or our relationships, or are no longer successful in helping us deny our sadness, fear, anger, or loneliness.
My practice goes beyond symptom management and deep into the depths of the unconscious to help clients understand how unprocessed trauma and long forgotten stories are effecting their daily thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We will use imagery, dreams, and story-telling to help you rediscover that which has been lost - hope, intuition, self-trust, confidence, safety, love. Our goal, if you allow me to travel alongside you, will not be for you to become a better version of yourself or just feel better, but instead to know yourself on a deeper level and love all the different parts of you so that you can move forward in life more authentically, whole-heartedly, and peacefully!

Adrienne Clements
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LMFT
If you are suffering from anxiety, panic attacks, or PTSD symptoms, relief is possible. I will help you learn to reduce the impact and influence of unwanted thoughts and learn to develop the capacity to observe and feel and make use of your emotional and physical experience. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), exposure therapy, mindfulness, and somatic psychotherapy to help you learn to stop fighting with your feelings and thoughts, and allow them to come and go without a struggle. This frees up energy to live a full, rich, connected life. You can overcome panic and anxiety and heal and grow after trauma.
Are you struggling with serious relationship problems? I help couples improve communication, skillfully manage conflict, heal from infidelity, and rebuild friendship, intimacy and emotional connection. I am advanced trained in Gottman Method Couples Therapy and an Educator for The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by John Gottman.

Fair Oaks Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Do you find yourself taking care of everyone else's needs rather than your own? Do you often feel self-conscious, judge yourself harshly, and worry about making mistakes? Are you struggling with anxiety or insomnia? Many of us had experiences in childhood that made us feel that we weren’t good enough or that we had to be perfect in order to be loved. These beliefs are so ingrained in us that we often aren’t even aware that they exist, but they affect how we see ourselves, how we see the world, and how we relate to others. The good news is that these beliefs CAN be changed.
