Laurie Moore
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, PhD, IFS, Certified Hypnotherapist, EMDR, Cyclical Pain Repatterning, Somatic, Expressive Arts
I work with you who experience hurt with unexpected life experience. In initial sessions we explore what happened and how you are affected. Next, we map a plan for receiving facilitation to release current feeling and thought cycles. You are guided to new feelings and thoughts that serve you. Most clients feel a lighter in first sessions, followed by deep lasting change.
Acknowledgement of experiences you had, and you is healing. Allowing feeling leads contentment and better life circumstances. You can say yes or no to modalities: EMDR, IFS, narrative-shifting, hypnotherapy, somatic based therapy, art-movement-vocal-role play therapy, and miracle coaching.

Jennifer Canu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anxiety is an adaptive response to stress; without it, much wouldn't get done. However sometimes anxiety does it's job too well or works too hard, causing us to avoid daily tasks, social situations, or just be downright uncomfortable. I utilize parts work to help people get to know this part of themselves, learn how it's trying to help you, and meet needs in a more adaptive way.

Anxiety
Janice Shapiro
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anxieties and fears are actually there to protect us. We all need some anxiety and fear to keep us safe. But when Anxiety and Fear become too intense, they no longer protect; they become obstacles that must be overcome. Together, like detectives, we can find out the origin of these misguided emotions so we can put them in their place.

Robin Bates-Pualuan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
While it's good to think through potential outcomes, sometimes worry can overwhelm us. Perhaps you've always been a worrier or spent a lot of time on the "what ifs" and worst case scenarios in life. Or maybe you're a perfectionist, or have difficulty making decisions because you worry too much about what could go wrong. It's painful and un-productive to get caught up in an anxiety spiral. I can work with you on strategies for learning to tolerate the uncertainties in life and move forward toward your true values and desires.
