David Sudyka
Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, MA
Therapy is a place to talk through what’s been weighing on you and start to understand it a little better. Whether it’s anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship stress, it can be hard to sort it out on your own.
In our work together, the focus is on helping you make sense of what you’re going through and finding ways to move forward that actually feel doable. I use approaches like EMDR and Gottman-informed therapy, but just as important is having a space where you can be open and feel understood.
You don’t need to have everything figured out to start. We can take it one step at a time and go from there.

Best Life Counseling Services
Counselor/Therapist, LPCC, LMFT, APCC
On the outside, you may appear successful and capable—but internally you may feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stretched too thin. Our practice offers thoughtful, compassionate therapy for women who want more than just coping—they want deeper clarity, stronger boundaries, and meaningful change.
At our practice, we provide a warm and supportive space where women can slow down, process what they’re going through, and feel truly understood. Our therapists specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, burnout, life transitions, and the emotional challenges that can come with motherhood and modern life.
We believe therapy should feel collaborative, practical, and empowering. Together, we’ll help you better understand the patterns that are contributing to stress, strengthen your boundaries, and develop tools that allow you to feel more grounded and confident in your daily life.
Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own. If you’re feeling unsure, that’s completely normal—we’re here to make the process feel comfortable and supportive from the very first conversation.

Shauni Kawelo
Pre-Licensed Professional, APCC
I’m deeply passionate about creating a space where people feel truly seen, heard, and supported as they navigate life’s challenges. What sets my work apart is my ability to meet you with both empathy and practical guidance - helping you not only process your experiences, but also build real tools for change. My background across clinical, behavioral, and experiential settings has shaped a flexible, intuitive approach that honors your unique story and pace. If you’re looking for a therapist who will walk alongside you with warmth, honesty, and intention, I’d be honored to support you in taking that next step.

Barbara Jaurequi Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT, MAC
My practice is a safe, comfortable and welcoming environment where my clients come to work through the challenges they are facing in their lives. For more than 20 years, I have devoted my professional life to helping people overcome their difficulties. My therapeutic style if affirming, compassionate and highly directive. I am not the kind of therapist who sits there and nods at you without ever offering any real counseling. If you are looking for a down-to-earth therapist who wants you to get better rather than keep you in therapy for years on end, we'd be a good fit. The purpose of therapy is to facilitate POSITIVE CHANGE. Let's get to work so you can realize a happy, peaceful and satisfying life.

Jasmine Wilson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
Maybe you've become so good at holding everything together that you hardly notice how much you're carrying anymore. You're someone others can depend on, but they may not realize how much effort it takes to keep everything going.
You might overthink decisions, put pressure on yourself to get things right, worry about disappointing people, or find that you're much better at recognizing what everyone else needs than knowing what you need yourself. Even when you're exhausted, it can be hard to slow down or stop feeling responsible for everything.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, chronic stress, self-doubt, and the pressure of always feeling like they should be doing more. In therapy, we'll look at what's keeping you caught in these experiences and work toward helping you recognize your needs, trust yourself more, and feel less obligated to keep pushing through.

Sean Brennan
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
I do therapy for men and for couples. If you've never been in therapy before, or therapy hasn't worked well for you in the past, you've come to the right place! Since the beginning of my training, I've worked almost exclusively with men and couples on the brink of disaster. My success with clients comes from taking a direct, goal-oriented approach to therapy that will enable us to move quickly and overcome those obstacles that have you feeling 'stuck'. My number one goal is to get you out of therapy as soon as we can.

Esther Park
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, MA
I believe children, teens, and adults need space to be understood not only in what they say, but also in how they play, create, and experience the world around them. My approach is client-centered, collaborative, and grounded in Psychodynamic and Gestalt therapies. In simpler terms, I care about identifying root emotions and experiences as well as your unique experience in the room as we meet. My goal is to create a space where clients can feel safe enough to be their authentic selves, knowing they do not have to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. I believe that building trust, safety, and good rapport takes time and continues to matter throughout the therapeutic process—not just during the first few sessions.
