Owelleth Mental Health
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MedFT
I am deeply passionate about being a therapist it is much more than a career to me and shows in the work I do, as well as the ongoing learning and trainings I am continually seeking. I believe healing happens when people feel truly seen, safe, and understood—often for the first time. I am especially drawn to working with trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, depression, grief, and the relational challenges that shape this. Many of my clients identify as "neurodivergent (ADHD, autism, AuDHD) and struggle with things like low self-esteem, perfectionism, and expressing needs/wants. Often this can affect how and who we love, function, and navigate major life transitions like divorce, parenting, career, grief, and medical care-taking. I don’t view therapy as “fixing” people, but as walking alongside them as they reconnect with their strengths, rewrite painful patterns, and build relationships rooted in security and self-trust. This work matters to me because I have seen how powerful it is when someone realizes their story makes sense—and that change is possible. My focus is on building a safe and trusting relationship where I get to know you as an individual without judgement. I have worked in hospitals, schools, community/public health, but nothing has brought me as much joy and fulfillment as private practice.

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.
