Jennifer Bearden
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Hi, I’m Jennifer, a psychotherapist dedicated to helping adults move beyond anxiety, self-doubt, and self-criticism to reconnect with their innate capacity to heal and thrive. My approach goes beyond traditional talk therapy, integrating evidence-based methods that address both mind and body for deeper, lasting change. Together, we’ll identify the roots of your challenges, work through barriers, and develop practical tools that foster self-acceptance, emotional balance, and more fulfilling connections. Having personally experienced the transformative power of quality therapy, I bring not only expertise but genuine empathy and understanding to our work—so you can step confidently into a life of clarity, connection, and growth.

Laura Fleming
Pre-Licensed Professional, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
I bring my real-life experience into my work as a therapist. I’m a mom, a military spouse, and someone who understands anxiety—including postpartum anxiety—not just clinically, but personally. I’ve spent years working with children with special needs and their families, which has deeply shaped how I view emotional health, caregiving, and resilience.
I believe therapy works best when evidence-based tools are paired with compassion, emotional depth, and practicality. My goal is to help you understand the root of what you’re experiencing—not just manage surface level symptoms—so visible, lasting change can happen. I’m especially passionate about working with parents and caregivers, because when adults take care of themselves and their relationships, the impact on children is beautiful and significant. If you’re looking for therapy that feels genuine and grounded in real life, I’d love to help you.

TREATMENT AND TOOLS FOR TRAUMA
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PH.D., IN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND NEUROSCIENCE, CERTIFIED PSYCHOANALYST, PSY.A, & LICENSED PSYCHOANALYST
My background is in both psychoanalysis and neuroscience (doctorate) and I am also a Certified and Licensed Psychoanalyst. So I am able to bring both a background in research into mind/brain issues, and I am trained as a clinician. I have been working with trauma for many years, and most recently (2016) I have been working with traumatic brain injury patients (including professional athletes). I am grateful for my dual background in mind/brain, because all brain injured patients require both perspectives. In August of 2023 I published "The Complex Architecture and Healing of Traumatic Brain Injuries: Listening to The Brain" with Cambridge Scholars Publishing in the UK. This is the story (based on case histories) of the journey to find a "healing road" for all persons who have had serious disruptions in brain functioning. This is very, very challenging territory to work in. And in my experience, requires a great collaboration between doctor and patient. I am also the author of "Moon Over Seaville," the story of the hunt for a serial arsonist in Southern California (in 4 Episodes). Available everywhere under "Mystery/Thrillers." I have patients all across the country (via phone). Brain injuries can be healed!

The Connection Clinic
Marriage and Family Therapist
The Connection Clinic is a vibrant collective of practitioners committed to providing safe, empowering care to individuals impacted by systemic and historical oppressions. We understand that many people experience misalignments in traditional mental health spaces, and we strive to create an environment where healing happens in community, fostering support, connection, and growth for both clients and providers.Our approach prioritizes decolonizing care and collaboration: therapists rarely work in isolation, ensuring that every client benefits from the combined perspectives and expertise of our team. We consult with one another, share recommendations, and coordinate care across family or community needs when appropriate. This collaborative model ensures that every client feels known, seen, and supported by The Connection Clinic, receiving the insight and care of a well-rounded team, something that truly sets us apart from other systems of care. If you are facing mental health challenges or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, we invite you to connect with us.

Oksana Pueschel
Marriage and Family Therapist, Grad Dip Family Counselling
I use a variety of evidence-based tools and techniques to help you reconnect with your existing strengths and cultivate additional resources that support progress toward the changes you wish to make. Depending on specific needs, I draw from a number of therapeutic modalities, all incorporating a respectful, strengths-based, person-centred and recovery-oriented approach. My practice is grounded in developmental, trauma-informed and solution-focused therapy within a family systems theoretical model. I frequently call on creative interventions, mindfulness and somatic resources to align your mind / body / spirit connection and consider cultural respect essential to my therapeutic approach.
