Dr. Dawnn R. Meiers
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Currently accepting clients! My approach is grounded in 25+yrs of experience as a psychotherapist and community educator. I’m passionate about helping people grow through the tough stuff – and also thrive during messy or dark life seasons, with interventions drawn from the research-supported "third wave" of cognitive-behavioral therapy, which includes mindfulness and acceptance approaches, in addition to existential therapy, positive psychology, and nature prescriptions. Expect invitations for behavioral "experiments," culturally-relevant self-help resources, and client-centered compassionate care. Schedule a free 15 minute consultation to discuss your needs today.

Dr. Ylenia Martinez
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD
I am a trauma‑informed therapist with advanced training in sexology who helps adults heal how trauma, culture, and identity shape their relationships, bodies, and sex lives. I work especially well with clients who “hold it all together” for everyone else while feeling anxious, shut down, or disconnected inside. In our work, we make room for the parts of you that have had to stay small or silent around desire, boundaries, faith, family, or reproductive experiences so you can move from survival mode toward more safety, choice, and aliveness in your own life.

Shanea McDaniel
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, APRN, PMHNP-BC
Seeking mental health care is a courageous step, and my goal is to provide a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout your journey. As a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 18 years of nursing experience, I believe that effective treatment begins with understanding the whole person—not just the diagnosis.
I work collaboratively with each client to develop personalized treatment plans that align with their goals, values, and lifestyle. While medication can be an important part of treatment, I also incorporate evidence-based psychotherapy, holistic strategies, and practical coping skills to help clients build lasting emotional wellness. My approach is warm, nonjudgmental, and focused on creating meaningful, long-term change rather than simply managing symptoms.
Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, relationship challenges, women's mental health concerns, or life transitions, I strive to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that helps you regain confidence, resilience, and balance. I am passionate about reducing the stigma surrounding mental health and making high-quality psychiatric care accessible through convenient virtual appointments.
