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.

Jonathan Schnapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine, collaborative relationship—one where you can speak freely and be met with curiosity rather than judgment. My approach is thoughtful and attuned, helping you make sense of patterns, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. Together, we’ll explore what’s getting in the way and work toward a deeper understanding that can open up new possibilities for how you relate to yourself and others.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW, CMNCS
Does setting boundaries feel uncomfortable or even unsafe? Do you find yourself overthinking, people-pleasing, or striving for perfection while quietly feeling exhausted?

Using evidence-based approaches like CBT and REBT, I offer a supportive space where real, practical change happens.
