You are not alone. It feels completely isolating to struggle with heavy emotions like depression or anxiety, but you don’t have to do it yourself - I am available to help you navigate through it. As a Filipino-American queer male, my practice is geared towards helping individuals that struggle with identity, lingering traumas, or fear and worry about their future especially those within the Asian-American Pacific Islander (AAPI) and LGBTQ+ communities. Seeking help and talking about some of our darkest and most difficult moments can be really challenging. Wherever you are in your journey, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

Stuart Kaplowitz / Serene Pathways Counseling

Like a volcano, 2 things tend to happen if we stuff our thoughts and feelings; we can explode or implode. We may blow up and we all know what that looks like. Other times though, we stuff what's on our mind, thinking it will just go away. It wont. In fact, doing this can lead to angst and depression. We can help you best address your needs. 30 of us here to offer specialized care. We all get stuck sometimes. You deserve support to address bumps in the road and help you through them.

Susan Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
I work with adults from every walk of life and in diverse circumstances. What nearly all have in common is that they tell me that things don’t feel manageable anymore. Life has gotten out of hand, and feelings like anxiety, self-doubt, depression, and disappointment seem to be taking over – if they haven’t already. Some might think they are “going crazy!” Others feel selfish because they crave self-care and a break from never being enough.
My job (and privilege) is to come alongside you to provide support, feedback, and help you better understand things and make plans to improve things. Sometimes, I will validate feelings that you’ve discounted or point out challenges you’ve grown so accustomed to that you brush them aside, even though they are part of what trips you up. Together, we’ll gain perspectives and insights about how to make things better.
In session, we will review the week for clues about what to focus on. We will talk about how things went and how they could have turned out better. I’ll ask many questions, listen a lot, and work with you to identify options for improving life. You’ll tear up sometimes, but you’ll be surprised how often we chuckle.
