William James Jones, PhD
Psychologist, Ph.D., M.A.
It is a fundamental objective of mine to guide you through the journey of self-actualization, which is central to our clinical work. Whether you are struggling with identity issues, experiencing frequent unstable relationships with yourself and others, or dealing with persistent anxiety, numbness, sadness, or enduring distress that seems unresolvable, we will work together towards healing. Through therapy, we aim to derive intrinsic meaning from these recurring experiences to remove psychological barriers, enhance your self-understanding, and strengthen your ability to form meaningful relationships. This is often the aspirational goal and starting point for our depth-oriented approach.

Briana Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I’m passionate about supporting adult professionals and/or creatives experiencing fears, sadness, low self-esteem, BIPOC racial trauma and racial identity issues, and other unresolved traumas and emotional pain. I also work with women who are trying to manage the emotional and physical challenges of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). Many clients I've worked with feel disconnected from their identity and passions, weighed down by past and present pain - and in my sessions, I help those clients grieve, heal, rebuild confidence, and move forward with clarity, resilience, and a renewed sense of self in order to help them live meaningfully.
If any of this this resonates with what you want for your life, I'd love to also help support YOU!

Hi there, I'm glad you're here. You're smart, high-achieving, and inspired, but struggle to get motivated and put your ideas into action. Your life checks the boxes, yet you have a hard time more often than you like to admit - especially in comparison with the suffering of others.

You're not alone!
