Ariana Marciniak
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA
Ariana is passionate about working with populations holding intersectional identities. She supports adolescence and young adults in navigating their identity, relationships, and life transitions. As a queer, multiethnic therapist, she also has a passion for working with LGBTQ+ folks and people of color, holding space for the ways oppression, intergenerational trauma, and systemic barriers intersect with mental health.
As a multicultural, multiethnic therapist of Mexican and Polish heritage, I understand what it’s like to exist in the in-between—navigating identity, belonging, and the push and pull of different cultural expectations. I work closely with couples and those in non-monogamous relationships, using the Gottman Method, attachment-based therapy, and relational interventions to uncover disconnections and help you experience your relationships in their fullest, healthiest form. I also support couples working through sexual discrepancies, ineffective communication, and patterns of conflict that create distance rather than connection. Using Nonviolent Communication (NVC), I help partners develop deeper understanding, express needs with clarity, and cultivate emotional and physical intimacy in ways that feel safe and fulfilling for both partners.

Debra Alper, Life Transitions Counseling PLLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Choosing a therapist is a highly subjective experience. Although education, good training and a comfortable environment all are important factors in the therapeutic experience, the most important quality to look for in a therapist is whether you feel that you can develop a trusting, open communication with them. Therapy ultimately is a relationship between you and your therapist. It is a different relationship than any other relationships you have in your life as it is bound by professional ethics, theory and it is not an equal give and take relationship. As a therapist, it is my job to help you create an environment that feels safe, supportive, and conducive to your self growth and insight. It is not my job to judge you, direct you, or impose my opinions onto your life. We work together to create a place for you in which you can discover what it is that you really need, want and feel outside of other's opinions and influences. It is my job to help you to strengthen your inner voice and the self awareness that allows you to find the answers to your own questions.

Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
You deserve a space where you don’t have to explain or shrink who you are. I work from a queer-affirming, trans-affirming, and trauma-informed lens to support individuals navigating identity, transition, relationships, and major life changes. Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from their authenticity, or unsure of the next step. Together we create space to slow down, explore, and reconnect with yourself.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in empowerment. Whether you're questioning, in transition, or working through old patterns, I’m here to support you in building a life that feels aligned with your truth. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you feel seen, grounded, and understood.

Margo Tirado MA LCPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC
Carrying anxiety, holding back your voice, or tending to everyone else’s needs can feel deeply lonely. If you’re stretched thin or unsure of your next step, I want you to know that you don’t have to keep doing this by yourself.
With over 30 years as a psychotherapist specializing in EFT, somatic work, anxiety, and trauma, I’ve supported countless women right at this crossroads. I’ve seen how healing becomes possible when the body is included in the conversation and the nervous system finally has room to unwind.
Together, we’ll create a therapeutic space filled with warmth, honesty, and grounded support. Using body-based tools and compassionate guidance, I’ll help you feel safe enough to explore what’s underneath—and empowered to build the life you’ve been longing for.
