Jerrod Johnson
Psychologist, PsyD
Being human means having anxiety, doubt, and painful experiences, but it also means having the capacity to grow, heal, and choose how we want to live. I work with people who want to better understand what’s getting in the way and start living more fully as the person they want to be.

Leandra Desinord
Marriage and Family Therapist, LPC
Who are you when no one’s around?
If you struggle to answer that question, you're not alone.
Maybe you've become really good at being who everyone else needs you to be. The dependable daughter. The successful professional. The partner who holds everything together. The woman who can handle just about anything — until you're alone with yourself and realize you don't quite know what you need anymore.
You don't have to arrive with everything figured out. You just have to be willing to get curious about yourself.
Who are you when no one's around?
Let's find out.

Staci Des Rault
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC. M.Div
One of my favorite things about being a therapist is being able to support people in reclaiming power in their lives. I value the privilege of holding a safe space for people to process their deepest fears, struggles, and pain, but also to bear witness to their celebrations and victories, no matter how big or small. Diagnoses and labels can be helpful flashlights to help us find our way, but ultimately, therapy should be about having a safe place to come where you can be your full authentic self.

Dr. Lauren Chase
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, LCMHC, NCC, BC-TMH
You may look successful on the outside, capable, responsible, the person everyone relies on, but inside, you feel exhausted from carrying so much. Many of the women I work with learned early to manage other people’s emotions while ignoring their own. If you grew up with an emotionally immature parent, you may now struggle with anxiety, people-pleasing, and guilt every time you try to set a boundary. I help high-achieving women connect the dots between their family patterns and their current stress so they can stop over-functioning, trust themselves, and feel calmer and more grounded in their daily lives.

Sheila Bravo
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Mental Health Counselor
People often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck in familiar patterns, or disconnected from themselves and others—sometimes without fully understanding why. My work is centered on helping you slow things down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself.
I provide a thoughtful, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your emotions, relationships, and inner experiences at your own pace. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, I tailor therapy to you, focusing on insight, emotional awareness, and lasting change—not just symptom relief.
Clients often tell me they appreciate feeling genuinely seen, heard, and understood in our work together. If you’re looking for a therapist who values depth, curiosity, and meaningful self-exploration, I invite you to reach out and see if we might be a good fit.
