Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In my practice, I offer personalized support for bipolar disorder. I begin with a thorough assessment for accurate diagnosis and provide education to help patients understand the disorder. We explore medication options and employ therapy to address negative thought patterns and coping strategies. Techniques for self-awareness and emotional regulation are taught. I also guide establishing routines and stability in daily life. Ongoing support ensures continuous progress towards managing bipolar disorder effectively and improving quality of life.

Nefertiti Nowell
Therapist, Dr.
Seeking help is a powerful step to improving your quality of life. Talking to someone about whatever your concerns are is something that almost anyone can benefit from, but many people are afraid to reach out. If you are considering therapy or coaching, I applaud you, and I really do want to help you find what you need to feel POWERFUL and help you develop the tools to have peace in your life.
I enjoy working with diverse clients, and have treated patients on the inpatient as well as outpatient basis. I began providing therapy in 1996, and have worked full time in several local hospitals before deciding to work full time in outpatient private practice. Though I work with many populations, I enjoy helping individuals with issues of trauma as well as working with couples. I work with all age ranges and have helped clients with a range of diagnosis. I use a variety of techniques, including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. I am also a Certified Hypnotist and a trained mediator.

Dr. Judith Bank
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, BSW, MA, PhD, Fellowship
I see the patient several times. Most often I will refer for medication. Some have great difficulty with admitting this disorder so I try to normalize the syndrome before a medication evaluation. I have seen a number of patients where different meds needed to be prescribed. Patience and a careful empathy are essential.
