Allen Weg, Ed.D
Psychologist, Ed.D
"I work with 10 year old and older clients, but mostly with teens and adults. My work focuses on OCD, Social Anxiety, phobias, panic, and general stress-related difficulties, as well as body focused repetitive behaviors.
I am so thrilled to be a part of this elite group of highly trained and highly specialized professionals! For myself, as with most everyone else on our clinical staff, I am passionate about my work with OCD, as well as Panic, Phobias, and Social Anxiety. I believe that while any therapist can have training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) or Cognitive Restructuring, to successfully understand the subtleties of how to teach these skill sets, how to encourage and support individuals who are facing their fears, and how engender trust to those who have come to us seeking help- this really amounts to an art form. We have at our disposal what we believe to be powerful information that we are excited to share with you, and are ready to support you on your journey towards transcending your fears and anxieties!”

Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP & TRLC
Hi! My name is Gricelda Alva Brito. I am a Somatic Experiencing ® (SE™) Practitioner, SEP and Trauma Resiliency Life Coach (TRLC).
I completed my three year Professional Certificate program in September 2024 offered by Somatic Experiencing ® (SE™)International. Additionally, I trained as a Trauma Resiliency Life Coach through The Arizona Trauma Training Institute accredited and globally recognized by Trauma Institute International. I have worked with survivors of sexual harm offering crisis counseling as a CA Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Crisis Counselor.
Somatic Experiencing ® (SE™) is a modality developed by Dr. Peter A. Levine. SE™ addresses healing the root of trauma and unresolved stress by working with the nervous system.
As a Somatic Life Coach, I will support you in pursuing meaningful goals that align with your life purpose.
Trauma Resiliency Life Coaching will offer individuals with opportunities to understand the neurobiology of their nervous system, manage stress, trauma responses, and gaining awareness on limiting beliefs. TRLC uses an asset focus, strength-based, trauma-informed approach, client led, and salutogenic approach to support client wellness. Somatic Coaching offers an opportunity for empowerment, embodiment and maximizing a client’s true potential in moving forward in life.
As a trauma-informed Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) my approach is to meet clients where they are by creating a safe container. I support clients in regaining control in their lives. I bring a caring presence to support clients to process what needs to come to the surface.

Allen Wood
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I'm a psychologist with expertise in working with anxiety, depression, dissociation, and the full range of traumatic experiences and specialize in supporting clients who feel that therapy isn't for them. In working with me you can expect a high level of collaboration, dedication to your success, and lots of nerdy metaphors. I draw from interpersonal neurobiology, developmental psychology, and attachment theory to make evidence-based therapy models less generic and more useful for your specific situation.

Spencer Dimmick, Arcus Behavioral Health & Wellness
Counselor/Therapist, Mental Health Counselor
I primarily work with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and narrative therapy. I help clients to author their own experiences, and help clients feel empowered to feel their feelings safely and securely and pursue their own goals with my support. I know that seeking therapy, whether for the first time or merely the latest of many attempts, takes a lot of trust, energy, and vulnerability. I hope to meet that effort with the respect it and you deserve. My work centers the client as the expert in their own life, and my role is to help you achieve your goals on your terms, with the support you need.
