Tanya Samuelian
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.S., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
My main objective is to create a nurturing environment that empowers you to openly express your thoughts and emotions. Therapy is a collaborative partnership between us, where we work together towards healing and progress. Your input, insights, and experiences are not only valued but also integral to your personal journey.
Tailored to your unique needs and goals, our focus spans from understanding and managing emotions to enhancing communication skills, establishing healthy boundaries, coping with stress and anxiety, recognizing patterns and behaviors, and so much more.
With my natural ability to connect with clients, I effortlessly build rapport and provide a safe, non-judgmental space for self-exploration.
As a therapist, I take pride in actively engaging in the therapeutic process, actively participating and collaborating with you instead of simply observing. Moreover, I am committed to fostering a secure and accepting environment for the exploration of your thoughts and emotions. Together, we can embark on a transformative journey towards growth and well-being.

Ann Britt
Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, MCC
Since 1982, as a licensed marriage and family therapist, I've been helping my clients strengthen their relationships in every area of their lives.
I help individuals, families, and adults go from feeling stuck, dissatisfied, and frustrated in their lives and relationships… To feeling aware, making conscious choices, accepting themselves, and leading authentic lives.
With my decades of coaching expertise in the areas of anxiety, depression, family, marriage, life, business, and relationships, I help you love your life again. In a way you never have before. In a way you never thought you could.
If you resonate with this and you'd like to have a chat, go ahead and book a 15-minute free consultation with me.

Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
I see myself as an intuitive, creative, informed, and highly trained Clinical Psychologist that provides a safe, nonjudgmental, and transformative environment. Therapy with me fosters a deep sense of engagement and connection, a sense of feeling heard and understood, and clarity where there was previously ambiguity. I have a passion for the importance of relationships, authentic living, self-acceptance, and the complex experiences of those who hold multiple identities. I specialize in hard to talk about topics that are often stigmatized or concealed. I treat clients who are dealing with a variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, co-dependency, interpersonal problems (i.e., couples therapy, sex therapy), stigma/discrimination, childhood/adult sexual trauma, shame and guilt (among others). I specialize in non-traditional/diverse relationships and sexuality, complex PTSD, LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy, and the unique stressors of being a creative.
I work well with curious individuals who are motivated to grow, share, be vulnerable, and play in therapy and in their lives. Creativity and curiosity in psychotherapy allows both of us to explore, question, imagine, and reflect on thoughts and experiences with depth and authenticity. Together we explore more flexible ways of thinking and relating to others.
I offer evidence-based therapies from a curious, nonjudgmental philosophy. No matter where you have been, evidence-based therapies focus on changing the now. I strive to help my clients experience the world mindfully, and in accordance with their personal values. Through our work in cultivating an affirming, authentic, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship, I provide support while we collaboratively deconstruct what is causing distress in your life and preventing you from being your most effective and authentic self. Individual therapy facilitates insight and growth, becoming more effective at actualizing your values, and building more authentic relationships with yourself and with others.
While there are many forms of therapy you can pursue, my expertise is in time-limited, evidence-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT), the Unified Protocol for emotional disorders, and third wave CBT such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness based interventions. (I do have experience in, and practice, an eclectic arrangement of other modalities as well-- when applicable or specifically requested.) We explore thoughts, beliefs, and understanding, while also prioritizing behavioral processes that focus on your contexts and the functions of how you relate to your internal experiences. CBT is designed to help individuals notice and shift their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to get relief from painful emotions such as anxiety and sadness.

Clare Waismann
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, Registered Addiction Specialist (RAS), Substance Use Disorder Certified Counselor (SUDCC)
I have always been extremely interested in the science surrounding mental health. Although in my early days, I did not quite understand the depth and heartbreaks of addiction, after almost a quarter of a century of study, training, and hands-on experience, I am humbled by the realization of the multiple dimensions of this condition. Although, there is not one single or simple solution, there are a tremendous amount of useful resources and excellent results. I also learned that knowledge, professionalism, and compassion are necessary tools health care workers must possess. There is no place for stigma, judgment, or arrogance.
I strive to provide a safe space for those seeking help, where concerns are heard and evaluated, and where individual needs are carefully and respectfully examined. A place where treatment options are decided purely on patients' needs and not on preset protocols that benefit the program more than the patient. I want the patient to have a meaningful experience. One that will help them choose a healthier path.
I act with others in a way that aligns with my values. My desire to be in healthcare was never misguided, but maybe a little naïve. I have since broadened my understanding of people's needs, strengths, and difficulties. My purpose hasn't changed and I continue to strive to help people live healthier and happier lives.
