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.

Dr. Jake Johnson
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
My name is Jake Johnson and I am the founder of Bristlecone Therapy. I've been practicing marriage and family therapy (MFT) for over 17 years. I also work as a professor of MFT at Wheaton College, where I have taught for 13 years. In more recent years I've become a certified life coach, and I am currently the president-elect of the International Family Therapy Association.
On a personal note, I've been married for 15 years. I have four boys, ages 13 to 6. I love to travel, hike in the mountains and read fiction. I have done a whole bunch of my own therapy, spiritual direction, and personal and group retreats (as I deeply believe that if I am not healthy, then I certainly can't help my clients to be).

Danielle Keys at Headway
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, M.S.ED, LCPC
I am a legally-blind counselor who listens carefully to client's needs to determine what works and what may not be effective. A collaborative approach is used to meet your needs. If you prefer a direct and interactive clinician that is my style. However, I'm flexible and integrate client preferences to achieve clients goals.

Louis Hoffman
Psychologist, PhD
I believe psychotherapy is most effective when it is grounded in a genuine, collaborative relationship characterized by empathy, authenticity, and respect. My approach is existential-humanistic and relational, recognizing that each person brings a unique history, perspective, and way of experiencing the world. Rather than viewing people primarily through the lens of symptoms or diagnoses, I seek to empathetically understand the whole person, including their struggles, strengths, relationships, values, and aspirations.
I see therapy as an opportunity not only to address emotional distress but also to deepen self-understanding, explore life's challenges, and discover new possibilities for living more authentically and meaningfully. I strive to create a therapeutic space where clients feel genuinely heard, understood, and challenged in ways that support growth. I believe meaningful change emerges through authentic encounter, increased awareness, and the courage to engage more fully with ourselves, others, and the world.
