Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Dr. Deborah Vinall
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LMFT
Trauma can leave you feeling disconnected—from your body, your emotions, and the life you want to live. You may know you’re safe now, yet still feel stuck, reactive, or overwhelmed in ways that don’t make sense. Therapy can be a place where this begins to change.
My work goes beyond talking, supporting your brain and nervous system in processing and releasing traumatic experiences at a deep level. I use EMDR and Brainspotting—powerful, trauma-informed approaches that help access the parts of the brain where trauma is stored—so healing can occur in a way that feels natural and lasting.
Equally important is the therapeutic relationship itself. I offer a compassionate, attuned space where your experience is met with care, respect, and pacing that honors your nervous system. Together, we work toward greater ease, resilience, and a renewed sense of freedom in your life.
If you’re considering trauma therapy and wondering whether I might be the right therapist for you, I invite you to reach out for a phone consultation.

Sue De Santo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Have you ever felt like you were busy doing all the things you thought would bring you a happy life, yet felt alone and disconnected from yourself and others? These feelings are often when people turn to alcohol, drugs, food, shopping or relationships to try to create those feelings of happiness, contentment and joy. It can work for a short time however the key to moving forward is to understand the reasons we seek out these distractions. When we strengthen the relationship with ourselves, the outer world becomes much more balanced and fulfilling. In our work together, you’ll gain tools to care for your nervous system, set healthier boundaries, and create a more positive and sustainable way of living.

Guzel Safina
Therapist, MA, MS, NCC, LMFT
Sometimes life can look great on the outside, but inside, something just feels off. You might feel a little disconnected, uncertain about your future, or like something is missing, even if everything seems fine to others.
Therapy gives you a space to slow down, check in with yourself, and figure out what really matters. It’s a chance to reflect on what’s going on in your life, get clear on what you want, and find your way forward - without all the pressure. Whether you’re navigating some tough questions or just need someone to talk to, therapy can help you reconnect with yourself and find more balance.

Elizabeth Essner, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
The relationship between the therapist and the client is the most important factor in providing "successful" therapy. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I value meeting clients where they are at. Whether it is working around issues of substance use, or dealing with anxiety or depression, I seek to help clients achieve their goals and live a better life.
