Amanda Ezell
Counselor/Therapist, LPC (AL & GA), LMHC (FL), NCC, BC-TMH
I believe therapy works best when you can show up as your whole self without worrying about being judged, misunderstood, or expected to fit someone else's idea of who you should be. My style is warm, collaborative, and conversational, with space for both honest reflection and practical change. I don't believe my role is to tell you who you should become. Instead, we'll work together to understand what is happening in your life, explore the experiences and patterns that have shaped you, and determine what meaningful change looks like for you.

Elevating You Life Coaching
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP & TRLC
Hi! My name is Gricelda Alva Brito. I am a Somatic Experiencing ® (SE™) Practitioner, SEP and Trauma Resiliency Life Coach (TRLC).
I completed my three year Professional Certificate program in September 2024 offered by Somatic Experiencing ® (SE™)International. Additionally, I trained as a Trauma Resiliency Life Coach through The Arizona Trauma Training Institute accredited and globally recognized by Trauma Institute International. I have worked with survivors of sexual harm offering crisis counseling as a CA Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Crisis Counselor.
Somatic Experiencing ® (SE™) is a modality developed by Dr. Peter A. Levine. SE™ addresses healing the root of trauma and unresolved stress by working with the nervous system.
As a Somatic Life Coach, I will support you in pursuing meaningful goals that align with your life purpose.
Trauma Resiliency Life Coaching will offer individuals with opportunities to understand the neurobiology of their nervous system, manage stress, trauma responses, and gaining awareness on limiting beliefs. TRLC uses an asset focus, strength-based, trauma-informed approach, client led, and salutogenic approach to support client wellness. Somatic Coaching offers an opportunity for empowerment, embodiment and maximizing a client’s true potential in moving forward in life.
As a trauma-informed Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) my approach is to meet clients where they are by creating a safe container. I support clients in regaining control in their lives. I bring a caring presence to support clients to process what needs to come to the surface.

Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
What if the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors you struggle with aren't signs that something is wrong with you—but clues that something important deserves your curiosity? Many of us spend years asking, "What's wrong with me?" I believe therapy begins with a different question: "What makes sense about the way I've learned to survive?" Together, we'll explore the patterns that have shaped your life with compassion rather than judgment, helping you develop more flexible ways of responding to difficult thoughts and emotions while creating meaningful, lasting change. If you're looking for a therapist who combines warmth, honest conversation, and evidence-based care, I'd be honored to work with you. If you'd like to learn more about my approach, I invite you to reach out for a complimentary 15-minute consultation.
