Nefertiti Nowell
Therapist, Dr.
Seeking help is a powerful step to improving your quality of life. Talking to someone about whatever your concerns are is something that almost anyone can benefit from, but many people are afraid to reach out. If you are considering therapy or coaching, I applaud you, and I really do want to help you find what you need to feel POWERFUL and help you develop the tools to have peace in your life.
I enjoy working with diverse clients, and have treated patients on the inpatient as well as outpatient basis. I began providing therapy in 1996, and have worked full time in several local hospitals before deciding to work full time in outpatient private practice. Though I work with many populations, I enjoy helping individuals with issues of trauma as well as working with couples. I work with all age ranges and have helped clients with a range of diagnosis. I use a variety of techniques, including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. I am also a Certified Hypnotist and a trained mediator.

GRIS ALVES
Counselor/Therapist, Compassionate Inquiry, Trauma Informed Mindfulness Teacher
I specialize in working with addiction and substance use through a trauma-informed, nonjudgmental approach rooted in Compassionate Inquiry®. Rather than focusing solely on stopping behaviors, I help clients explore the emotional and nervous system roots of addiction—often shaped by childhood trauma, chronic stress, or unmet attachment needs. Clients seek my support when they are ready to understand their patterns with compassion, reduce shame, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves, their emotions, and their recovery process.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Addictions can overtake your life, but addictions are not who you really are in life. Overcoming addictions through hypnotherapy involves addressing the subconscious mind, where habits and behaviors are deeply rooted. As a Certified Hypnotherapist, I guide clients into a state of deep relaxation, making them more receptive to positive suggestions and changes. During hypnotherapy sessions, we work together to identify the underlying triggers and emotional factors contributing to the addiction.

Substance Abuse
Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
You may feel stuck in patterns with alcohol or substances that are starting to affect your mood, relationships, or day-to-day life. Part of you may want things to change, while another part feels unsure where to start or how to follow through.
Our work focuses on understanding what’s driving the behavior and building practical ways to respond differently. You’ll develop tools to manage urges, handle stress more effectively, and make decisions that align with what you actually want for yourself.
The goal is steady, realistic progress so you can regain a sense of control, improve your functioning, and move toward a more stable and consistent way of living.
