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!

Dr. Connie Stomper
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, EdD, DSS
Soul Musings is coaching/ counseling with Dr. Connie Stomper which is focused on helping people overcome stress, anxiety and depression as well as chronic illness (which I have lived through and overcome.) or who just want to pursue personal growth. This work is for people who seek to live in an expanded experience of joy, loving and peace. In addition to my training in psychology, counseling skills, my work is informed by my decade of organizational consulting and training where I worked with communication skills, listening skills, problem-solving, group decision-making and team building.

Eliana Kohanzad
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, MDR
Whether you feel weighed down by stress, dating or your relationship or an unexpected life event, there is help and there is hope. You know that there must be more to life than the pressure you're experiencing but you’re not sure what that looks like for you or perhaps how to even get there. You want support not just in improving how you’re feeling right now, but also in identifying and healing the source of what’s brought you to this place. I specialize in helping adults navigate the dating world, relationships, friendships, and family conflict.
I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you’ll get tools that you can put into action in your day-to-day life, as well identify the root cause behind these challenges you’re facing. I’m here to help you grow and flourish in the way that’s right for you.
It is possible to move on from toxic cycles and relationships, heal from painful past experiences, and feel more confident and secure in yourself and I would love to help you get there. Together, we’ll work on communication, boundary setting, and embracing your authentic self. Ready to evolve? Schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation today!
