Melanie Simms
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I believe that everyone is capable of change. However, we must believe in our worth and treat ourselves with kindness in order to create that change. If life feels hard right now, that's because it is! The bodies and brains that we have were not built for the world we currently live in. Everyone grows up in an environment where their needs were not perfectly met. The ways we dealt with those unmet needs as children become unhealthy coping strategies in adulthood. With conscious effort, reflection, and practice, we can heal those wounds and learn better strategies. That's what therapy is for and I am here to help!

Erin Powers
Counselor/Therapist, APCC 9590
I believe that we all have the capacity to heal. I take a trauma-informed, body-based, and spiritually grounded approach to working with clients. I have experience working with clients (primarily women) from a variety of backgrounds, including those experiencing anxiety and co-occurring health issues impacting mental health. I enjoy incorporating mindfulness, expressive arts, and other holistic modalities into my sessions and will provide you with resources to utilize in your everyday life. As Carl Jung states, "I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become".

Micaela Magazzu-Alaman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I believe therapy works best when you can show up as a whole person, not a diagnosis or collection of symptoms. My style is warm, curious, collaborative, and down to earth. I value humor, honesty, compassion, and creating a space where you do not have to perform, have everything figured out, or leave important parts of yourself outside the therapy room.
I am especially drawn to working with people who think and feel deeply, experience anxiety or overwhelm, or are searching for a more sustainable way of moving through life. I want to understand what you are struggling with, but also who you are, what matters to you, what has shaped you, and what your mind and body may be communicating about what you need.
There is room in therapy for the personal and the political, for grief and anger, for relationships and identity, and for conversations about work, community, nature, oppressive systems, social conditions, and the world around us. My hope is to help you build a deeper relationship with yourself and create a life that feels more connected, intentional, and genuinely yours.

Marley Cote
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, MS
You've done the talk therapy thing before, but still feel like something is missing. On the outside, it looks like you have made it and people remind you of how far you have come. But then, there seems to be an emptiness inside of you—either from being overwhelmed or numbed out by your emotions. You are constantly giving 110% of yourself to your relationships, even though no one else seems to put that same effort into you. It has depleted you, exhausted you. There are things from your own past that need to be confronted, but it was always easier for you to bury yourself in others' problems. Not anymore, now it is time for a change. It is time for you to put yourself first and to align your emotions, mind, and body. It can be scary to look inwards for healing, and I can be your therapist to walk with you on this journey. My approach to therapy is emotionally-focused, attachment-based, and trauma-informed. If you are ready to put yourself first, please call or email me to set up a free 30-minute consultation.
