Nicole Bermensolo
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., AMFT
If being a parent in 2022 is difficult, being a kid in 2022 is near impossible. I am passionate about working with children and adolescents in close collaboration with parents/care-givers to assist in a myriad of issues, including anxiety, depression, school avoidance, bullying, self-esteem, divorce, co-parenting, and trauma. I utilize a unique combination of interactive play therapy, relational therapy, and EMDR (if appropriate) in order to give your child the most effective therapy experience.

Christian Holmes
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Having worked for a number for years as a school counselor and youth pastor I understand the unique challenges kids/teens face as well as what parents go through trying to help them. Every child is unique and needs an approach that is tailored uniquely to them and the family. In our work together, I help clients cultivate not only practical skills but identity level understandings that allow kids/teens to increase in confidence and self-esteem, conflict management, and their ability to process traumatic events (bullying, divorce, etc). Contact me for more information.
