Registered Social Worker, MSW, ACSW, CLE, PMH-C
Thanks for taking time to find care for yourself. You deserve to have wellness and care and to have a therapist who wants to see you thrive. Most of my clients come to me seeking help with stress, anxiety, and the various stages of motherhood. I love and have a wealth of experience working with individuals and families and building relationships. In my own journey to healing, I have had to learn to navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, loss, and postpartum stress and anxiety. I understand what it feels like to be overwhelmed and to want someone to see and care for you in a way that feels genuine. I have been working in the helping profession for 20 years in various settings from private practice, non-profit, hospital, educational and street outreach settings. My goal is to meet you where you are and to partner with you to decrease your suffering no matter where you are in your life stage. We all deserve wellness.

Altagracia "Grace" Akopyan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #145795
I like to think that becoming a therapist was not by chance. I know it could be difficult to seek help because I have been in your shoes before. I remember going to my first therapist when I was a distressed young adult in a toxic relationship with anxiety and depression symptoms. It took me time and much needed self healing before I came out feeling whole and full of purpose again. My therapist then helped me change my life for the better and I decided at that point that this path was the right path for me. I am a therapist because I want to help others who are in need, as I once was. If God permits, I hope to be a part of your path to opening up this new beautiful chapter that awaits you.
