I offer online therapy for adults in many seasons of life, from young adults in their 20s to older adults in their 80s, who want to improve their relationship with themselves and with others. Through telehealth, I support clients navigating a wide range of issues and major life transitions—such as new marriages, becoming a parent or grandparent, adjusting to an empty nest, retirement, or moving into community living—so they feel less alone, more grounded, and better equipped to meet these changes with clarity and care.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
I became a psychoanalytical therapist because I believe in the transformative power of self-awareness and understanding. The profound impact of exploring the depths of the unconscious mind and uncovering the roots of one's thoughts and behaviors can lead to lasting change and emotional well-being. I chose psychoanalysis as my therapeutic approach because it provides a unique framework for delving into the complexities of the human psyche, offering individuals a profound opportunity for self-discovery and healing.
Psychoanalysis, with its emphasis on the unconscious mind, allows me to work with patients in a way that goes beyond surface-level symptoms, addressing the underlying causes of emotional struggles. I am passionate about providing a space where individuals can explore their thoughts, feelings, and past experiences in a deep and meaningful way, fostering insight and facilitating personal growth.

Shawna Stillwell
Marriage and Family Therapist, IMFT-S
As a therapist who works virtually, I've seen firsthand how removing the barrier of travel and waiting rooms creates space for more meaningful and authentic work. Clients show up while they're in the comfort of their own environments, reducing masking and other barriers to authenticity. For the clients I'm most passionate about working with, the flexibility of virtual care is a necessity. Virtual therapy allows me to meet people where they are both literally and figuratively.

Salvadore Coaching LLC
Life Coach, Holistic Life Coach, Certified Breathwork Instructor, Certified Hypnotist
It's not the speed in life, it's the acceleration. The question isn't if we all experience anxiety in life. We do. The question is: how are we relating to that anxiety? I work with both individuals and couples on this, as well as relationship conflicts they may be experiencing, and on life transitions. Sometimes, we can feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, emotional reactivity, or self-doubt, even when things appear stable on the outside. We work together to identify patterns, build healthier communication skills, and develop practical tools to reduce or reframe anxiety and increase emotional resilience.
As a holistic life coach, I incorporate therapeutic dialogue, mindfulness, breathwork, and hypnosis to support regulation within the nervous system and lasting change. I offer a steady, nonjudgmental space where you can slow down - decelerate - gain clarity, and move toward more grounded, connected ways of living.
My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming and sensitive to cultural and immigrant experiences.
