Andrea Elkon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Do you ever feel exhausted trying to figure out what "health and wellness" actually means? We are constantly bombarded by messages regarding the latest exercise trends, fad diets, and other quick-fix remedies that will supposedly make us feel better. But do you find that they actually make you more anxious, depressed, and worried about "failure"? I am a psychologist with 15+ years experience, and I help adults who are struggling with anxiety about their health. Whether you're worried about eating, fitness, sleep, chronic pain, or getting older, I will help you uncover the roots of your anxiety and feel more secure in your health. We will examine your unwritten rules around wellness and learn about how those rule affect how you feel and what you do. Together, we will help you improve your relationship with your health and equip you with a set of tools to manage whatever stressors life brings.

I understand that the first step is often the most difficult. Whether you are dealing with feelings of hopelessness, depression, anxiety, a past tragedy, or abuse, know that hope and healing are within reach. You don't have to walk this journey alone. I counsel adults and adolescents who are experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, life transitions, grief, and loss.

Ashley Ray
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-S, CCTP, TIYT
Stressed? Irritable? anxious? overwhelmed? angry? I get it. Whether its quarantine, traumatic experiences, or just LIFE that's left you feeling like you are unraveling, I got you.
Achieving inner peace and freedom from the pain and discomfort that you feel is possible. I offer you evidence-based holistic psychotherapy techniques that help you heal, restore and renew. My office is a safe place for you to tell your story and receive heartfelt listening, acceptance and compassion? However, it is also a place where I can teach you techniques to re-balance when you feel emotionally flooded and disconnected. Healing doesn't even have to begin with tirelessly and painfully pouring over the past if that's not what you want. My guess is that you have already been doing that with limited results. Healing can begin with learning how to rewire your automated stress response so that you can start feeling better and more at ease right away!
It is my passion and purpose to help you to discover the parts of yourself that you really love and transform the parts that keep you stuck. I believe in your inherent ability to heal and am dedicated to supporting your in connection more deeply with that ability. Some of the methods I integrate into sessions are Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Integral Psychotherapy, yoga, dance and other somatic processing techniques, mindfulness training, meditation, visualization, breath work, shamanic practices, Energy Medicine, Exposure Therapy, gestalt methods, Narrative Therapy, and EFT.
I can help you heal from traumas and anxiety through a holistic somatic therapy approach that returns you to inner peace and confidence.

Dr. Carolina Castanos, PhD, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, PHD, LMFT
Sometimes things happen in life that we cannot stand up and keep walking like we have in the past. I help my clients take a look at what it is that has them feeling stuck and unhappy, where that might be coming from and work on the root of the problem.
