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.

Dr. Trevor Alleman
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
Pain is an inevitable part of life, but we don't have to suffer needlessly. Suffering occurs when anxiety takes over our thoughts and actions. We become anxious about facing our fears, so we avoid them. We're anxious about letting others get close, so we isolate ourselves. Psychotherapy can be a way out of these defensive patterns. While we can't prevent difficulties and tragedies, we can learn to manage our emotional reactions to external events and relationships. Self-empowerment comes from finding the courage to confront our inner world, regardless of how complicated and messy it may be.

Doug Wilson
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
I believe a major part of psychological health is having the tools to live life with greater freedom and possibility. It is my hope you will feel safe and secure in our therapeutic relationship so we may explore issues hindering you from living a fully engaged life. Benefits from our work together can include improved relationships, freedom from the past including childhood, increased insight, ability to make more informed choices, and symptom (i.e., anxiety and depression) reduction.

Erika Shershun
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I specialize in helping trauma survivors, especially survivors of childhood and/or adult sexual trauma, reclaim the life they were meant to live. If you're struggling with symptoms related to trauma, such as being easily triggered, anxiety or depression, dissociation (feeling spaced out, numb, unable to ground, or connect to your body's sensations) trouble sleeping, nightmares, or flashbacks and more, you're in the right place (for an extensive list of trauma symptoms check out my post https://www.healingsexualtrauma.com/post/what-are-trauma-symptoms). My goal is to help you get the results you're looking for while offering lots of needed compassion and understanding. I'm the author of the Healing Sexual Trauma Workbook, the upcoming Healing Sexual Trauma Guided Journal (2024), and teacher of the PESI Sexual Trauma Clinical Training. I'm dedicated to supporting my clients as they navigate their healing journey.
