John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, APCC
Things are really hard right now - it is more important than ever to have support. That looks different for everyone, but whether it's parenting, relationship, work, family - or all of the above, create some space and a plan to walk through it - together. It is a journey of insight, compassion, respect, honesty, integrity and courage.

Ilona Hrebennikova
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, M.Ed, MA
Are you struggling with relationships? Are you having the same fight with your partner over and over? Have you lost the emotional connection you used to have? Intimate relationships touch our deepest relational wounds. That's why we can be overwhelmed with the pain they bring and often, at points, feel like giving up. We can heal those wounds and help each other in that process. The kind of couples therapy/marriage counseling that I provide combines deep experiential work with teaching, coaching and practicing many specific relational skills that will set you up for success.
Do you find yourself repeating the same relationship patterns again and again in different relationships? The key to changing that is healing the underlying trauma. I also specialize in working with individuals on relationship/marital issues, relational trauma, childhood trauma, complex trauma, intergenerational trauma, shame, low self esteem, HSP and ADHD.
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a certified RLT therapist (Relational Life Therapy). I am also trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Hakomi. I love working with multicultural couples and couples where one or both partners are HSPs, have ADHD or trauma. Website: www.connectwithyourself.com

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MFT #123769, CPT
In order for therapy to be effective, you need to trust and like your therapist. My style leans toward being both compassionate and direct. I like to educate my clients on the process of healing and personal growth to empower them to make the changes they want in their lives. Whether you're looking to alleviate your symptoms of anxiety or depression, looking for a new perspective on things, or desiring more confidence, my style adapts to accommodate your unique situation. I think it’s important to not only help clients alleviate symptoms and fix problems, but also cultivate enthusiasm for the self-reflection process and inspire their personal growth.

Ana Velouise, Well Mother Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
I help women navigating motherhood to feel less alone and more like themselves again.
Your motherhood journey isn’t what you expected it would be. Though you’ve achieved professional success and are highly competent in many areas of your life, your experience with becoming a parent has disrupted that sense of competency. Your sense of gravity has shifted, and with that shift has come a loss of control, loss of freedom, and loss of your former self.
I want you to know that you are not alone. Together, you and I can collaborate to improve your daily functioning, understand the origins of your present-day struggles, and help you start feeling like yourself again. I use a loss-informed, trauma-informed, and strengths-based approach to treatment that informs the pathway to your wellness. My intentions for your sessions are for you to feel seen and heard, grounded and resourced.
