Jenelle N. Ashley
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, MCAP, CCTP
You deserve a life that feels more peaceful, fulfilling, and genuinely your own.
Sometimes, the hardest part is understanding why you keep finding yourself in the same patterns, second-guessing yourself, struggling with self-worth, feeling anxious or overwhelmed, or carrying the pressure to hold everything together. Therapy can be a space to slow down, understand your story, and begin making different choices.
I work with adults who are ready to better understand themselves, strengthen their self-worth, and develop healthier ways of navigating relationships, emotions, and life’s challenges. Together, we can explore the experiences and patterns that may be keeping you stuck while building greater self-awareness, confidence, and emotional flexibility.
You are the expert on your own life. My role is to provide the support, perspective, and tools to help you better understand yourself and create meaningful change. A strong therapeutic relationship is at the heart of that process, and I strive to create a space where you feel understood, respected, and safe to be honest about what you're experiencing.

Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
What if the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors you struggle with aren't signs that something is wrong with you—but clues that something important deserves your curiosity? Many of us spend years asking, "What's wrong with me?" I believe therapy begins with a different question: "What makes sense about the way I've learned to survive?" Together, we'll explore the patterns that have shaped your life with compassion rather than judgment, helping you develop more flexible ways of responding to difficult thoughts and emotions while creating meaningful, lasting change. If you're looking for a therapist who combines warmth, honest conversation, and evidence-based care, I'd be honored to work with you. If you'd like to learn more about my approach, I invite you to reach out for a complimentary 15-minute consultation.

Rich Painter, M.S.
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Do you want a deeper sense of connection or a greater sense of purpose in life? You may be dealing with stress, fear, marriage issues, dating difficulties, confusion, life transitions, low self worth, career direction, or something else impacting your life and relationships. You might have a mistrust of men or women based on past, hurtful experiences. You are not alone. Imagine yourself living with greater peace, freedom, trust, creativity, courage, and empowering love. Getting you there is my specialty. With your life experience and my 20+ years of training and experience, we can team up to make your life and relationships more fulfilling. With my guidance, fear will be overcome, self-esteem will grow, and understanding will emerge. You can have the loving relationships you deserve, and the life purpose you desire. My clients often say they appreciate the calm demeanor and trust they feel with me. Together, we can help you craft the authentic life you were meant to live.
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #114765 by the state of California and #3281 by the state of Florida. I offer professional counseling, life coaching, and spiritual direction for individuals, couples, children and families. I draw on the insights of psychological theory as well as spiritual resources for healing. I believe that by exploring unmet needs from the past, people can develop healthier relationships today. By working through painful losses and wounds, people can release unhelpful beliefs about themselves and others in order to live more fully in the present and with hope for the future. We are hurt in relationships; we are also healed in relationship, and the therapeutic relationship can be a useful resource. Areas of focus include couple, marital, and singlehood issues, family/parenting dynamics and attachment, anxiety, depression, adolescents and young adults, career coaching, abuse and trauma, spiritual growth and struggles, gender and sexuality issues, loss and grief, and pornography/addictions. I'm a certified Prepare-Enrich Counselor and offer premarital and marital couples counseling, and I'm also a certified Family Wellness Instructor. I'm a professional member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy as well as the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists. My approach integrates Attachment Theory, Family Systems, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Life Coaching, and is collaborative, supportive, non-judgmental, and tailored to fit your needs. If you are ready to take the next step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

Marcy Miller
Pre-Licensed Professional, Ph.D.
People often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of what they’re even feeling. You might know something isn’t right, but not yet have the words for it, or you may feel pulled in different directions, unsure which part of you to trust.
In our work together, we slow things down and make space for what’s happening beneath the surface. Rather than rushing toward solutions, I help you understand your emotional world in a way that feels clear, grounded, and meaningful. My approach is collaborative and deeply relational. We pay attention not just to what you’re going through, but to how you experience yourself and others in those moments. Many clients find that they begin to feel more organized internally: emotions that once felt confusing or overwhelming start to make sense. You may notice greater self-compassion, more confidence in your decisions, and a stronger sense of who you are and what you need.
I bring an attachment-informed, evidence-based approach to therapy, drawing on models such as Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT). I work to stay closely attuned to you as an individual, moving at your pace as we explore your history, your relationships, and how they’re shaping your experience right now. Therapy with me is not about fixing you, but about helping you understand yourself more fully and respond to your life with greater clarity and intention. Above all, I aim to create a space where you feel genuinely seen, respected, and supported—where nothing important about your experience has to be minimized, rushed, or handled alone.
