Jeanie Vetter
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I support motivated individuals and couples who are ready to engage in the type of therapy that works towards deep, meaningful change. Relationships can have the incredible power to heal and my mission is to be a part of what keeps us all connected to both our inner worlds and each other. Sometimes old wounds will keep us stuck and hold us back from being the person we want to be or in the type of relationship we long for. The best way out is for someone to meet you there. Your level of comfort with your therapist can make all the difference in the change you want to see and my goal is to help you feel as comfortable as possible to explore all the parts of yourself that have been wanting to be seen and heard.

Narrative
Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I am motivated, as we are all motivated, by a desire to connect with others and ourselves in honoring ways. Unfortunately, in our upbringing, we often learn "rules" for connection that are no longer working in our best interest within friendships, family relations, and romantic relations. I hope to support all of my clients in their journey towards earned-secure attachment. We can connect for a brief, complimentary 15-minute phone consultation to see if my presence and approach would be a beautiful support to your current therapeutic goals at this time.

Erin Kennedy
Therapist, LPCC
I believe the human spirit is incredibly resilient and we all have the innate capacity to heal--I don't view mental health struggles as a sign of defect or "disorder," but rather a signal of unmet basic needs for love, attention, acceptance, and compassion.

Stuart Kaplowitz / Serene Pathways Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MFT
Like a volcano, 2 things tend to happen if we stuff our thoughts and feelings; we can explode or implode. We may blow up and we all know what that looks like. Other times though, we stuff what's on our mind, thinking it will just go away. It wont. In fact, doing this can lead to angst and depression. We can help you best address your needs. 30 of us here to offer specialized care. We all get stuck sometimes. You deserve support to address bumps in the road and help you through them.

Narrative
Rosa Portillo
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, MS, AMFT
As a therapist, I believe that healing begins with feeling truly seen and heard. My approach is rooted in compassion, empathy, and a deep respect for each client’s unique journey. I specialize in supporting teens, young adults, and couples who are navigating anxiety, OCD, ADHD, trauma, and relationship challenges. Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to break free from patterns that no longer serve them.
What sets me apart is my ability to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without fear of criticism. I understand how difficult it can be to speak up for yourself, especially if you’ve grown up feeling like your voice didn’t matter. In our work together, we’ll focus on building your confidence, developing practical coping skills, and fostering emotional resilience.
I also bring personal resilience and cultural understanding to my practice, particularly for those who have taken on caretaker or translator roles within their families. My goal is to help you feel empowered, capable of making meaningful changes, and ready to take control of your life.
If you’re ready to work with someone who will meet you where you are and support your growth every step of the way, I’m here for you. Together, we can create lasting change that helps you live a more authentic, fulfilling life.
