Sarah Fandel
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LMHC, LCPC
Are you looking to better manage stress? To improve your self-esteem, relationships, or emotion regulation? To heal from trauma or loss? To move away from avoidance, people pleasing, perfectionism or other habits that hold you back? Whether you seek to work on a specific goal or to focus more generally on self-exploration and growth, I am happy you are considering working with me. I am confident that we all possess a deep capacity for healing, resiliency, and connection. I strive to continually learn from and integrate multi-faceted modalities and theories of counseling to provide therapy that aligns with your individual needs and goals.
I work with clients affected by depression; anxiety; systems of oppression, any form of trauma or abuse; life transition difficulties; emotion dysregulation; attachment and relationship concerns; disordered eating patterns, body image issues; obsessive compulsive tendencies; phobias; gender dysphoria; and identity concerns.

Dr. Annette Gallardo, PhD
Life Coach, Christian Marriage Coach for Wives
Are you a Christian wife who loves God and wants a stronger marriage, but feels like you're the only one trying? Are you exhausted by the same arguments, feeling unheard, and longing to feel loved, understood, and connected to your husband again?
I help Christian wives break painful communication patterns, rebuild confidence, establish healthy boundaries, and take steps toward healing, rebuilding trust, and emotional connection with God's help—even when their husbands aren't ready to participate.
With God's help, you can begin making healthy changes without waiting for your husband to change.
Online Christian marriage coaching is available nationwide in English and Spanish.
