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!

Stay rooted deeply in the present moment, allowing your intuition, knowing, and being-ness to shine! These 1.5 hr. Expressive Arts Therapy sessions offer an eclectic approach to therapy. I have created a dynamic toolbox that can meet anyone where they are regardless of what topic you would like to explore. Combining mindfulness, talk therapy, somatic awareness, and creative approaches every session is unique depending on what is most nourishing for you on that specific day.

Gabriel Arroyo
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Relationships take a lot of work and sometimes can use a little bit of help or third party perspective. Within my experience and professional practice I have helped many couples overcome various topics and issues including "burn out" with falling out of love or passion, communication issues, infidelity, trust issues, and intimacy issues. If you feel your relationship can use a bit of a tune up and support, please continue reading and contact me.
I also specialize in working with individuals with chronic illness support. With my own experience of receiving a lifelong diagnosis at an early age, I have learned effective copping and adjustment strategies to help support with chronic conditions.

Counselor/Therapist, LPCC, LMFT, APCC
On the outside, you may appear successful and capable—but internally you may feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stretched too thin. Our practice offers thoughtful, compassionate therapy for women who want more than just coping—they want deeper clarity, stronger boundaries, and meaningful change.
At our practice, we provide a warm and supportive space where women can slow down, process what they’re going through, and feel truly understood. Our therapists specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, burnout, life transitions, and the emotional challenges that can come with motherhood and modern life.
We believe therapy should feel collaborative, practical, and empowering. Together, we’ll help you better understand the patterns that are contributing to stress, strengthen your boundaries, and develop tools that allow you to feel more grounded and confident in your daily life.
Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own. If you’re feeling unsure, that’s completely normal—we’re here to make the process feel comfortable and supportive from the very first conversation.

Sandy Kong
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 119380
I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to grow at their own individual pace and to let acceptance and safety direct their learning and healing. I operate from a trauma-informed lense & being culturally sensitive. My therapeutic process is to provide the opportunity and space for people to heal and find hope, despite hardships. The best part of being a therapist for me, is being able to be a part of someone’s journey; walking alongside them and empowering them to develop, heal, and grow. I am always so honored and humbled to witness the resilience of people.
