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.

Beck Gardner
Pre-Licensed Professional, M.A.
I work alongside my clients to help them feel curious and gain understanding about the things they struggle with and themselves as people. My hope is that our collaborative effort to understand all of you will allow you to find solutions to the challenges you face in your own unique way. I know this can be a intimidating task; I try hard to help you feel supported in it, so you have the space to be curious about parts of yourself that might be hard to face alone.

Meghan Luse
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCPC
Healing from trauma isn't just about talking about the past; it’s about physically and emotionally releasing it. With 13 years of clinical experience, I specialize in treating attachment trauma and unprocessed trauma using an integrated, mind-body approach. I utilize EMDR, somatic techniques, and attachment theory to help your nervous system find safety again. I also incorporate experiential methods, such as Jungian sandplay therapy, to help you process experiences that are difficult to put into words. If you are ready to move beyond simply coping and start truly healing, I provide a safe, grounded space for us to begin.
