Nefertiti Nowell
Therapist, Dr.
Seeking help is a powerful step to improving your quality of life. Talking to someone about whatever your concerns are is something that almost anyone can benefit from, but many people are afraid to reach out. If you are considering therapy or coaching, I applaud you, and I really do want to help you find what you need to feel POWERFUL and help you develop the tools to have peace in your life.
I enjoy working with diverse clients, and have treated patients on the inpatient as well as outpatient basis. I began providing therapy in 1996, and have worked full time in several local hospitals before deciding to work full time in outpatient private practice. Though I work with many populations, I enjoy helping individuals with issues of trauma as well as working with couples. I work with all age ranges and have helped clients with a range of diagnosis. I use a variety of techniques, including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. I am also a Certified Hypnotist and a trained mediator.

Psychological assessment to clarify diagnoses such as autism, bipolar disorder, ADHD, etc., Independent Medical Evaluations (IME), worker’s compensation, preemployment for first responders, and fitness-for-duty-evaluations are also offered. Approaching patients with cultural humility is a core value at Malak Psychology honoring who you are, your ancestors, and the indigenous land we occupy.

Empowering you to forge your unique path, I serve as a guide with an emphasis on agency and self-determination.

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.

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.
