Riesa Minakan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Happiness is something you deserve and is attainable! Being a therapist is my calling and I have spent most of my life helping people find their best selves. The reality is that it is within your reach. I have found that the human mind can be a negative space if not examined. We form false beliefs and lies about ourselves based off of our of family and or origin life experiences. If we don't actively look at what were saying to ourselves we can be our own worst enemy. Make today the day you stop treating yourself "less than". If we believe were not worth it then we will live a life that reflects that. That is not your purpose in life. I can help you find that person and purpose that your soul yearns for. I am not your typical therapist in that I will share that I have walked this walk. I find this powerful in treatment in that it provides me with insight, compassion and connection with the people I work with. The connection we develop is sacred and the work is an honor for me to be a part of. Quite honestly, if you are ready for change and willing to do the work I can help you get there.

Sleep troubles and emotional challenges can be overwhelming. Getting the right help shouldn't add to your stress. I am passionate about improving sleep and mood for my clients! I'm a board-certified diplomate specializing in sleep disorders. I also specialize in the treatment of psychological trauma, anxiety, depression, and personality issues.

Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
I specialize in EMDR therapy to help individuals heal from trauma and narcissistic abuse, and to return to a place of self-love and emotional balance. Experiences of childhood physical, emotional or sexual abuse can remain stuck in the body, as can instances of narcissistic abuse. These have the potential to contribute to symptoms of depression, anxiety, and hypervigilance as well as problems successfully navigating relationships and managing daily living. I utilize EMDR therapy to change the way these negative memories are stored in the brain, and help you achieve a place of resolution and peace. As a neuropsychologist, I can help you condition your thoughts and rewire your brain for happiness and success.
