Bridgit Serrano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C
I’m an EMDR therapist with a PMH-C certification, specializing in trauma and perinatal mental health. I work with clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or impacted by past experiences, as well as those navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, or the challenges of pregnancy and postpartum.
My ideal clients are open to growth and looking for more than just symptom relief—they want to better understand themselves and feel more at ease in their daily lives. I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where we can process what’s been weighing on you.
Using EMDR and other evidence-based approaches, I help clients heal from past experiences and build resilience. I also welcome individuals with a range of mental health concerns.

Luis Maimoni
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Hi. My name is Luis Maimoni. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in relationships of all kinds.
No matter who you are, or where you're coming from, you are the one who will determine where your story begins. I'll meet you where you're at and focus on your strengths. We'll collaborate to find and treat the root cause of your presenting concerns.
Underpinning my work is my belief in "tribe" (family and community). Tribes come in all kinds of shapes, sizes, colors, cultures, flavors and configurations (I was raised in a multilingual and multicultural home). Our tribes shape how we feel, how we think, how we relate to others, and how others relate to us (sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse, sometimes it's hard to know).
I love this work and look forward to learning your story.

Lisa McNelley Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #156096
I work with adults and teens 16+ navigating some of life's most challenging moments — and with women in their 40s and beyond who are reimagining who they are and what they want. Whether you're facing midlife transitions, an empty nest, the weight of caregiving, or simply asking who am I now? — I bring both clinical training and lived experience to that conversation.
My approach is integrative and tailored to you. Drawing on family systems, attachment, psychodynamic, narrative, Gestalt, CBT, and trauma-informed frameworks, I work from the belief that there is no one-size-fits-all path to healing. Together, we'll find the lens and tools that fit your life and your needs.
I bring warmth, directness, and humor to the work — because sometimes the most healing moments happen when you find yourself laughing through the tears. I am not an expert in your life. You are. I'm here to collaborate with you, and to help you untangle what's keeping you stuck so you can feel more hopeful, more grounded, and more alive.
