Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In the intricate tapestry of our lives, the pursuit of happiness, safety, and love is a universal quest. Yet, for many, the journey toward emotional wellness is fraught with challenges beyond their control. Trauma, familial history, and the burdens of life can cast shadows that obscure life's inherent beauty. I believe that each individual deserves to uncover, rediscover, and reclaim life's joy and purpose.
As a compassionate and dedicated psychoanalytical therapist, I aim to guide you through this transformative process with warmth and understanding. Through welcoming and conversational counseling services, I aim to create a space where you can explore the intricate connections between your mind, body, and spirit. This holistic approach seeks to assist you in reconnecting with your higher purpose, allowing you to navigate life unburdened by emotional pain.

Donna M Torbico - HEAL & GROW for ACoAs
Counselor/Therapist, Recovery Therapist in Private Practice 40 years
FREE INTRO Session - to see if we're a good fit. My main focus is working with ACAs - adults who were raised in an alcoholic / narcissistic family. The long-term goal is to uncover your True Self, develop a Loving Parent voice, heal the Wounded Child, & encourage the Healthy Child to shine.
Together we identify the harsh beliefs you absorbed from your family, school & religion, and work on transforming them into positive do-able ‘rules’ to live by.
EXP: “I know what I know”, “I have a right to my needs”, “”There’s no such thing as perfect”…..
I also provide a safe place for you to experience painful or joyful emotions you weren't allowed to feel growing up. ACA Recovery work is about facing the reality of early damage, and working to overcome the after-effects.
“Trying to flourish in an atmosphere of criticism is like trying to get sober in a bar.”

Lawisha Dulski
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCPC, NCC
I believe in a person centered and narrative approach, as you are the expert of your own life. You
have your own story to tell. Talking to a stranger about issues you’re facing can be extremely
difficult and challenging but it shows enormous amounts of strength and bravery.
My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can express yourself,
discuss challenges that you are facing, explore new ideas and new chapters, and to help promote
growth and wellness. I want my clients to feel heard and understood.

Samire Qosaj
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed practicing counselor
I strive to create a space where you can show up as your full self whether you feel loud, quiet, curious, or uncertain. If you are an immigrant, a first-generation American, or a neurodivergent individual navigating the intersections of culture, faith, and identity, you are not alone. As a first-generation Muslim American, with English as my second language, I have personally experienced many of these layered identities and continue to reflect on them in my own journey. I understand how complex, challenging, and meaningful this process can be.
