I offer supportive counseling with a keen eye for pinpointing your self-defeating patterns, strengths and solutions.

The aim is that you grow in resiliency and confidence to attain welcomed changes in your life. You are wired for healing and connection, and my job is to help you experience this. Key characteristics of my style include being genuine and direct with an emphasis on helping clients find purpose and emotional stability.

Dr. Janelle Louis
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, ND, PMHNP-BC
Are you or your child struggling with anxiety, mood swings, depression, or lingering effects of past trauma—even though you’ve tried traditional treatment and it just hasn’t been enough? I'm Dr. Janelle Louis, and I use a unique combination of holistic interventions, medication management, and psychotherapy to help children and adults with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, or a history of traumatic experiences find lasting emotional wellness. As both a licensed naturopathic doctor (Vermont) and a psychiatric nurse practitioner (Arizona, Washington state), I bring a unique, integrative perspective to psychiatric and medical healthcare. My background includes experience supporting individuals with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, hormonal mental health disorders, autoimmune and metabolic conditions that affect mental health, and trauma-related concerns. With a foundation in holistic, root-cause medicine and hands-on experience in emergency and inpatient behavioral health settings, I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric and medical care that respects my patients’ values, while addressing the full complexity of their needs. I blend evidence-based therapy—including CBT and trauma-informed approaches—with thoughtful medication management and holistic interventions to help children, teens, and adults live their healthiest and best lives.

Carolyne Mburu-Gerena
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC
My approach to mental health care is collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in the belief that each person’s story matters. I work with teens and adults who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, and life transitions. My goal is to create a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward meaningful change.
In our work together, I combine psychiatric medication management with brief therapeutic support. This allows us to address symptoms while also exploring practical strategies that improve daily functioning, resilience, and overall wellbeing. I believe mental health is influenced by many factors, including stress, sleep, lifestyle, and physical health. I take a whole-person approach when developing treatment plans.
Seeking help can be a big step, and my role is to walk alongside you in that process. Together, we focus on identifying what is getting in the way of the life you want to live and creating a path forward that feels realistic and sustainable.
My goal is not only to help reduce symptoms but to support you in building a life that feels balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with your values.

Sherrelle Thompson
Counselor/Therapist, LAC
My name is Sherrelle Thompson, and I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist and founder of Healing Hearts Behavioral Health. I earned my Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling with a Christian Emphasis from Grand Canyon University. My professional journey began as a Correctional Officer and continued over the past decade as a Case Manager with the Division of Developmental Disabilities, where I witnessed firsthand the critical need for accessible and compassionate mental health services. These experiences inspired me to establish a practice that integrates clinical excellence with faith-based support for those who desire it, particularly individuals within the Christian community who may feel hesitant to seek help due to stigma. I am passionate about serving individuals with disabilities, preteens, teens, couples, and families, and I have supported clients facing substance abuse, low self-esteem, suicidal behaviors, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. Through empathy, encouragement, and evidence-based care, I strive to create a supportive environment where every client—regardless of background—can experience healing, strengthen self-love, and confidently achieve their personal goals.
