Shirley Johnson,
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CYT
“I would rather be whole than good.” – Carl Jung
If you’re ready to move beyond performing, pleasing, or simply surviving and step into a more whole, honest version of yourself, I’d be honored to work with you. My approach blends psychodynamic depth, relational therapy, Gestalt awareness, and certified sex therapy to support meaningful, lasting change. I specialize in working with Black and POC adults and couples who want deeper connection, authenticity, and fulfillment. When you’re ready to choose wholeness, I invite you to reach out.

Nader Mikhail
Hypnotherapist, C.Ht.
If anxiety, fear or self-doubt has been running the show, and talking about it hasn't changed much, hypnotherapy offers a different route: working directly with the subconscious patterns that keep you stuck.
I'm Nader Mikhail, a certified hypnotherapist and High Honors graduate of the Hypnosis Motivation Institute. I help adults with anxiety and social anxiety, fears and phobias, low confidence, and resentment they can't seem to let go of. I'm LGBTQ+-affirming, and I tailor every session to how your mind responds best, using hypnosis, NLP, imagery and desensitization.
Sessions are by Zoom, with evening and weekend times. Start with a free 15-minute phone consultation: we'll talk about what you want to change and whether hypnotherapy is the right fit.
