Mariana Carabantes, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
My passion is to help people going through difficult life transitions. Many events in life can affect our stability; divorce, retirement, grief and loss, illness, accidents, losing your job, or living through a pandemic. Sometimes it's even hard to know why we feel how we feel. I help individuals, and also couples, overcome these difficulties.

Justine Astacio | Lotus Theory LLC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
As a therapist, I approach this work through a somatic lens, recognizing that what we experience emotionally is often held in the body, not just in our thoughts.
I support clients in understanding their patterns while also helping them build a more regulated and grounded relationship with themselves. This means we’re not only talking about what’s happening, but also paying attention to how it’s showing up physically and how to shift those responses over time.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or a major life transition, my goal is to create a space that feels steady, collaborative, and connected, where you can feel supported both in your internal experience and in how you relate to others in your life.

Jennifer Elve
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, CEAP, GMHS
Welcome to a space designed for clarity, support, and meaningful progress.
Navigating personal stress, professional demands, and family responsibilities can often leave you feeling stretched thin. My practice is built on the belief that therapy should be accessible, empowering, and deeply attuned to the reality of your daily life.
What sets my practice apart is the integration of specialized expertise with practical, real-world solutions:
Specialized Geriatric & Caregiver Support: As a Geriatric Mental Health Specialist (GMHS), I provide dedicated guidance for older adults and the "sandwich generation"—caregivers balancing aging parents, careers, and their own families. I help you navigate ambiguous loss, cognitive shifts, burnout, and complex family dynamics with practical strategies and emotional grace.
Workplace & Life Stress Mastery: Drawing on my background as a Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP), I bring a structured, action-oriented approach to workplace stress, life transitions, and work-life harmony, helping you regain focus and maintain healthy boundaries.
Affirming & Whole-Person Care: My practice provides an inclusive, identity-affirming environment for individuals navigating LGBTQ+ experiences, chronic health conditions like HIV/AIDS, women’s issues, and pivotal life changes.
Clients choose to reach out because they need more than just someone to listen—they want a collaborative partner who brings clinical insight, structured coping tools, and genuine warmth. Whether you are seeking relief from immediate caregiver stress or striving for long-term personal growth, reaching out today is the first step toward reclaiming your well-being.
