Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Abelee Groff
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
My practice is grounded in trauma-informed, attachment-based therapy that emphasizes emotional safety, collaboration, and respect for each client’s values and relationships. I work with adults navigating anxiety, complex trauma, emotional regulation challenges, and relationship stress among other issues.
I take an integrative, evidence-based approach that incorporates Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic and nervous system–informed therapy, attachment-focused work, and emotion-focused interventions. While my work is rooted in clinical research, I also recognize that not all healing can be fully explained by science alone. I remain open to the many ways the mind, body, and inner world interact, honoring intuition, meaning-making, and embodied experience as part of the therapeutic process.
I provide affirming, nonjudgmental care for clients from diverse backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent adults. Many clients seek my practice for support around relationship dynamics, intimacy concerns, and navigating relationships that may not follow traditional models. I aim to create a space where clients feel understood without needing to educate their therapist.
My goal is to help clients develop greater emotional resilience, healthier relationships, and a more secure connection with themselves and others.

Bamboo Center for Grief, Growth, & Well-being
Psychologist, PsyD
Hi! My name is Anna Darbonne (pronounced Dahr-bon, like a bonfire), I'm a Clinical Psychologist, author, entrepreneur, and mama.
I help high achieving, self-reflective clients to cope with life transitions, feel great about themselves and their lives, and to transform grief or challenging experiences into meaningful personal growth opportunities.
I am a firm believer in the healing power of laughter and play, that the best way to care for others is to prioritize caring for ourselves, that relationships don't end at death, and that ice cream is one of the best inventions ever!

Jillian Luz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, ATR
I work from a non-pathologizing lens and strive to support my clients in exploring what past or current traumatic experiences, including personal/specific, cultural, and systemic, may be currently impacting their self-view and functioning.
I offer EMDR and IFS treatment to support processing past trauma (including chronic, relational, and childhood traumas) and grief & loss that may be causing current distress, unhappiness, relationship challenges, negative beliefs about one's self or abilities, and a lack of personal fulfillment. I also specialize in working with neurodivergent clients, especially late/adult diagnosis.

I am a seasoned therapist with over 25 years of experience. I assist high-functioning individuals in developing the skills necessary to address whatever roadblocks life presents.

Life Happens and we need to be prepared to manage whatever comes our way. Through an eclectic treatment modality, I assist individuals, couples, adolescents and The Family System to achieve and maintain their highest functioning.
Successful Psychotherapy is were stellar education meets relational artistry. Simply stated, you present the facts, feelings, and resistance, and I help you paint the picture to uncover a deeper understanding with your purposeful meaning in life. From there, I present you with a flash light to find your way. Along this path, it’s my hope and goal for my clients to develop new tools that lead to an optimally fulfilled life. Life is a process, not a destination and I'm honored to join my clients on their journey.
Finding a therapist to assist in your families well-being can be a difficult endeavor.

I welcome you to come in for a free 30 minutes consultation to discuss your current needs. It is my hope and goal to help each member of the family identify their individual challenges so to strengthen the entire system.

Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I'm Dr. Cynthia, a licensed psychologist with over 25 years of experience, specializing in narcissistic abuse recovery for mothers. I coined the term Narcissistic Burnout™ to describe what happens when you've spent years managing someone else's chaos at the expense of your own mental health, your children's mental health, your parenting, and your sense of self.
This isn't standard talk therapy. I work with moms navigating high-conflict divorce, coercive control, post-separation abuse, and the specific hell of trying to parallel parent with a narcissist. I understand what it's like to sit across from a family court system that doesn't get it and to need someone in your corner who does.
You'll stop questioning your reality and heal from gaslighting. You'll learn to protect yourself and your children without losing yourself in the process. Together we will work towards moving from surviving to thriving.
I offer telehealth across PSYPACT states. If you're ready to move from crisis mode to clarity, reach out today.
