Narrative
Emily Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MDiv, PhD, LMFT-S
For over two decades, I have been a student and a steward of the human story. My journey into the healing arts began at the intersection of the soul and the system—first through a Master of Divinity, then a Master of Arts in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling, and ultimately a PhD in Child and Family Studies. These chapters of my education taught me a singular truth: we do not live in isolation. We are deeply rooted in our attachments, our spiritualities, and the complex social constructs of power and equity that shape our everyday lives.
As a therapist, supervisor, and professor, I lead with courageous dialogue and radical curiosity. Whether I am working with a couple navigating the fallout of infidelity, an individual deconstructing a lifetime of spiritual trauma, or a queer youth seeking an affirming mirror, my goal is to create a space that is as respectful as it is transformative.
I am deeply committed to evidence-based, depth-oriented work. By integrating Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), EMDR, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help clients move beyond surface-level symptoms to address the relational and neurological roots of their distress.
One of the greatest honors of my life is serving as a "healer for the healers." I believe that therapists and pastors deserve the same sanctuary they provide for others—a place where they can lay down the mantle of leadership and find their own path to restoration.
When I am not in the therapy room or the classroom, I am often finding my own balance: lifting weights, enjoying live music with my wife, or finding a moment of quiet with a book and my Goldendoodle, Comet.
"The healing space that is generated between therapist and client... it is one of the greatest honors of my life. It never ceases to amaze me."

Narrative
Dr. Heather Sheets
Psychologist, PsyD
I work with adults navigating life transitions, anxiety, relationship issues and challenges. I also have a special focus on men’s mental health, including the unique emotional struggles that come with divorce, separation, and relationship transitions. My therapeutic approach is strength-based and grounded in cognitive behavioral, interpersonal psychotherapy, and narrative psychology. Successful therapy uncovers inner strengths that may have been quieted or overlooked — transforming emotional pain into resilience, insight, and growth. Together, we work to build not just relief from distress, but renewed clarity and strength.

Brianna Gomez
Pre-Licensed Professional, MS - Bilingual Trauma Informed Therapist
My name is Brianna Gomez, and I’m a pre-licensed counselor with deep roots in Miami, Florida, where I was born and raised. I earned two master’s degrees—one in Psychology and the other in Clinical Mental Health Counseling—from the University of Louisiana Monroe. My approach to therapy is informed by a trauma-sensitive lens and is strongly influenced by narrative therapy principles. I also incorporate elements from Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), grief work, and attachment-based interventions. This blend allows me to support individuals in making meaning of their experiences and moving forward with a clearer sense of direction, self-assurance, and purpose. I believe no one should have to navigate life’s difficulties in isolation. Through our work together, we’ll build toward healing, insight, and personal growth—step by step.

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!

Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
If you have been carrying a lot on your own, therapy can be a place to slow things down, get clear about what is happening, and start moving forward in a way that feels real and meaningful. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience, and my work has included clinical practice, teaching, and published scholarship on trauma, grief, and life transitions. I bring that depth into sessions in a practical, down-to-earth way, blending evidence-based tools with thoughtful work around meaning, patterns, and direction. If you are facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, or a major life change and want support that is skilled and personal, I would be glad to connect.
