Healing and Empowerment Counseling Center
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Teri Dunbar, LCSW
Are you tired of having your past experience or past traumas interfere with your ability to have the life you want? Interfere with your ability to have the relationships you want? I specialize in helping children, adolescents, and adults that have experienced trauma and are having an especially hard time coping and experiencing symptoms of depression and anxiety. I especially enjoy working with parents. Parenting can be hard, and its even harder when you're a parent that has experienced abuse in your childhood that you haven't yet addressed.
I empower parents that have experienced childhood trauma by giving them the tools, guidance, and support to heal, grow in their role as a parent, and cultivate the relationship they want with their children. We all want to be great parents to our children, and therapy can be a way of taking care of yourself in order to better care for your children.
It can be hard to know where to start, and almost impossible to start alone. I work from a strength-based perspective and tailor my therapeutic practice to meet each persons individual needs. I am currently only offering virtual therapy and would love to help you through this process. Please go to my website to book a free consultation.

I treat those struggling with parenting concerns in general and those related to raising children conceived with the use of Assisted Reproductive Technology (i.e. IUI, IVF) or the use of third party reproduction (i.e. donor gametes, surrogacy/gestational carrier).

Davene, Fecteau
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPCC
Parenting is one of the hardest jobs anyone will ever do. The emotional and physical energy required is relentless and can often trigger insecurities, childhood wounds, and tender areas of ourselves that haven't been worked through. Instead of focusing on the child, I focus on helping the parent access resources inside and outside of themselves so that they can be present to themselves and to their families.

Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, MSW, ASW, PPSC
In the labyrinth of motherhood, many women find themselves navigating through its lesser-spoken, shadowy corridors, confronting the underworld of motherhood where challenges like role adjustment, traumatic births, breastfeeding struggles, and feelings of inadequacy and isolation loom large. My practice offers a beacon of support and understanding for mothers and stepmothers grappling with these harsh realities, providing a safe, compassionate space to voice and heal from the unanticipated trials of mothering. Beyond the immediate demands of parenthood, I delve into the emotional layers underpinning the journey, including the navigation of complex trauma, the healing of ancestral and mother wounds, and the spiritual dimensions of conception and fertility. Whether it's breaking the cycles of past traumas, reconciling with the emotional aftermath of pregnancy loss, or embarking on the sacred journey of connecting with one’s spirit baby, my approach is holistic, recognizing the profound interconnection between personal healing and nurturing life. I stand with those courageous enough to transform their shadows into strength, guiding them towards healing, belonging, and a deeper, more fulfilling experience of motherhood and stepmotherhood.

Ana Velouise, Perinatal Mental Health Specialist
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
If you’re in the thick of a new phase of parenthood where none of your previous coping skills seem to be working, therapy can help. The ways in which children hold a mirror up to ourselves can be an emotional experience. You also may be processing your own childhood and shifting intergenerational patterns, both of which can feel intensely isolating. Together, let's process your experiences, develop new tools and skills to meet your current parenting phase, and integrate it all into your parenting narrative.
