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.

Dr. Trevor Alleman
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
Pain is an inevitable part of life, but mental suffering can be reduced. Suffering occurs when anxiety takes over our thoughts and actions. We become anxious about facing our fears, so we avoid them. We're anxious about letting others get close, so we isolate ourselves. Psychotherapy offers way out of these avoidant patterns. While we can't prevent difficulties and tragedies, we can learn to manage our emotional reactions to external events and relationships. Self-empowerment comes from finding the courage to confront our inner world, regardless of how complicated and messy it may be.

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.

Iva Taylor Hypnosisbloom Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapist, CHt. Certified Hypnotherapist, Life Coach
Iva Taylor, CHt: Hypnotherapist Specializing in Subconscious System Alignment
Ending Inner Conflict and Creating Effortless Clarity
Are you exhausted by constant inner conflict? Do you feel like your brilliant, strategic mind and your wise intuition are locked in an endless argument, leading to anxiety, indecision, and burnout?
My practice is built on the philosophy that lasting transformation is systematic, not random. My work focuses on fixing the root cause of this conflict: subconscious incoherence.
My Core Programs: A System Upgrade for Mind, Heart, and Youth
I specialize in three proprietary, structured therapeutic programs designed to resolve specific areas of inner conflict and behavioral patterns:
The Integrated Inner Child Program (IICP): Resolves emotional stagnation and self-sabotage by addressing the source of limiting beliefs and subconscious patterns. We heal the past so it can no longer compromise your present.
The Teenager’s Project Program (TPP): An 8-module therapeutic program specifically engineered for adolescents navigating modern emotional crises, anxiety, and self-harming tendencies. By combining subconscious alignment with compassionate therapy and coaching, this blueprint helps teenagers resolve internal chaos, safely process overwhelming emotions, and rebuild a resilient sense of self-worth from the inside out.
The Heart-Mind Integrated Coherence Program (HMICP): This six-session blueprint is for clients ready to move from healing into mastery. It teaches you to harness the heart's energy to train your mind and nervous system to work in perfect synchronicity. The result is Effortless Decision-Making, Unstoppable Focus, and profound Self-Worth.
My Approach: Coherence, Not Compromise
I do not offer generalized relaxation. I provide a precise, therapeutic system for mastering emotions and the mind. My clients are successful professionals, creators, and parents who are ready to stop managing their anxiety and start eliminating it at the root.
As the expert on your life, you already hold the wisdom to succeed. My role is to provide the blueprint and the tools to install a new, coherent operating system.
I am a certified Hypnotherapist (AHA Member) and Certified Life Coach committed to ongoing professional development. If you are ready to stop arguing with yourself and start living with confident, purposeful action, I invite you to contact me for a consultation.

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.
