Connie Taylor, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist, Certified Imago Therapist, Depth Psychologist
My training is in Depth Psychology, which means that I am interested in the whole person, including thoughts, feelings, somatic symptoms as well as the developing sense of Self. I also believe that we are all mirrors for each other and so we are always in relationship in one way or another, with ourselves, nature, and life that is going on all around us. I believe that our wounding occurs in relationships and so does our healing. We all need a witness to our pain and I believe that the therapeutic relationship must be one of trust and connection, so I work hard to build a relationship that helps to ease the work of the individuals or couples that I see.

Clare Waismann
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, Registered Addiction Specialist (RAS), Substance Use Disorder Certified Counselor (SUDCC)
I have always been extremely interested in the science surrounding mental health. Although in my early days, I did not quite understand the depth and heartbreaks of addiction, after almost a quarter of a century of study, training, and hands-on experience, I am humbled by the realization of the multiple dimensions of this condition. Although, there is not one single or simple solution, there are a tremendous amount of useful resources and excellent results. I also learned that knowledge, professionalism, and compassion are necessary tools health care workers must possess. There is no place for stigma, judgment, or arrogance.
I strive to provide a safe space for those seeking help, where concerns are heard and evaluated, and where individual needs are carefully and respectfully examined. A place where treatment options are decided purely on patients' needs and not on preset protocols that benefit the program more than the patient. I want the patient to have a meaningful experience. One that will help them choose a healthier path.
I act with others in a way that aligns with my values. My desire to be in healthcare was never misguided, but maybe a little naïve. I have since broadened my understanding of people's needs, strengths, and difficulties. My purpose hasn't changed and I continue to strive to help people live healthier and happier lives.

TREATMENT AND TOOLS FOR TRAUMA
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PH.D., IN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND NEUROSCIENCE, CERTIFIED PSYCHOANALYST, PSY.A, & LICENSED PSYCHOANALYST
My background is in both psychoanalysis and neuroscience (doctorate) and I am also a Certified and Licensed Psychoanalyst. So I am able to bring both a background in research into mind/brain issues, and I am trained as a clinician. I have been working with trauma for many years, and most recently (2016) I have been working with traumatic brain injury patients (including professional athletes). I am grateful for my dual background in mind/brain, because all brain injured patients require both perspectives. In August of 2023 I published "The Complex Architecture and Healing of Traumatic Brain Injuries: Listening to The Brain" with Cambridge Scholars Publishing in the UK. This is the story (based on case histories) of the journey to find a "healing road" for all persons who have had serious disruptions in brain functioning. This is very, very challenging territory to work in. And in my experience, requires a great collaboration between doctor and patient. I am also the author of "Moon Over Seaville," the story of the hunt for a serial arsonist in Southern California (in 4 Episodes). Available everywhere under "Mystery/Thrillers." I have patients all across the country (via phone). Brain injuries can be healed!

Barbara Jaurequi Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT, MAC
My practice is a safe, comfortable and welcoming environment where my clients come to work through the challenges they are facing in their lives. For more than 20 years, I have devoted my professional life to helping people overcome their difficulties. My therapeutic style if affirming, compassionate and highly directive. I am not the kind of therapist who sits there and nods at you without ever offering any real counseling. If you are looking for a down-to-earth therapist who wants you to get better rather than keep you in therapy for years on end, we'd be a good fit. The purpose of therapy is to facilitate POSITIVE CHANGE. Let's get to work so you can realize a happy, peaceful and satisfying life.
