Rory Valentine Diller
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., LMFT Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #139783
Our ancient ancestors used art, dance, music, and ritual to connect with the spirit realms. Our thinking, talking mind is only a small fraction of our psyche and experience. There is a vast, inner world of symbolic imagery that exists beneath our conscious mind. Carl Jung ventured to say that this inner world is our soul. When we connect with our inner world through imagination and creativity, we create meaningful opportunities to understand ourselves in new ways, regulate our emotions, rewire unconscious patterns and core beliefs, reprocess meanings linked with traumatic memories, develop a spiritual relationship with our soul, and unlock our spiritual power to heal and evolve. I help clients to explore their spirituality through a full spectrum of creative mediums and ancient wisdom from our ancestors.

Jeffrey Gianelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Spirituality can mean so many things to so many different people. What does it mean to you? Sometimes we feel like we can't talk about it with our therapist, however for many of us spiritually is a core element of our being and it is ok to bring it up. I welcome incorporating spirituality into therapy, no matter what your spiritual or religious beliefs are, as well as for atheists and agnostics. As an ordained minister in the Buddhist faith, I have my own commitment to a spiritual path and knowledge of many other spiritual traditions. I also have specialized training in contemplative practices such as mindfulness and self-compassion.

Psychologist, PhD
While psychotherapy often focuses on decreasing psychological symptoms; I am open to working with individuals who also believe that spirituality is an important component to decreasing psychological issues and furthering psychological growth.

Vanessa Wolter Holistic Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
One of the levels of human experience that often gets missed in therapy is the spiritual or existential level. This is unfortunate as existential concerns are always in the background for our species. Knowing that our time is limited on this earth can create existential anxiety. I work with clients who would like to explore their purpose in the world and how to embody their most meaningful life. By using transpersonal psychology, mindfulness therapy and Buddhist wisdom, I help clients connect with their higher self and nurture more peace, trust and compassion for self and other.
