Alexis Smith
Pre-Licensed Professional, MHC-LP
What makes my practice unique is the way I integrate evidence-based care with a deeply collaborative, person-centered approach. I believe meaningful change happens when clients feel safe enough to be fully themselves, understood without judgment, and supported in a way that honors their autonomy, values, and lived experience.
I work from a place of curiosity, respect, and cultural sensitivity. I always meeting clients where they are and moving at a pace that feels safe and sustainable. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model, I tailor therapy using various modalities to fit each person’s needs, goals, and emotional experiences.
Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or unsure how to navigate what they are going through. My role is not to “fix” you, but to help you better understand yourself, your patterns, and your emotional world so that you can begin responding to life with more clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.
I also prioritize accessibility and convenience by offering fully virtual therapy, allowing you to access care from the comfort and privacy of your own space. With flexible scheduling, therapy can be integrated into your life in a way that feels realistic and supportive rather than overwhelming.
If you are looking for a therapeutic space where you can slow down, feel understood, and begin creating meaningful change that aligns with who you are and what matters to you, I would be honored to work with you.

Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D, LPC
I’m a therapist with over 10 years of experience helping people work through anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and life challenges across many different settings and stages of life. I bring a warm, kind, and grounded approach to my work, and I use humor when it helps create ease and connection in the room.
I believe therapy should feel both safe and effective. My priority is building a strong, trusting relationship where you feel comfortable being yourself and talking about what’s really going on beneath the surface. I also value collaboration, and I welcome feedback from clients so we can shape the work together in a way that feels most helpful for you.
Together, we can explore the deeper history and past experiences you may still be carrying- especially the ones that continue to impact your stress, mood, relationships, and sense of self today. At the same time, I bring structure to our work so sessions feel focused, intentional, and productive, making sure your time is used in a meaningful and thoughtful way.
My goal is for you to feel more understood, supported, and connected to yourself as you move toward real and lasting change.

Amanda Martell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I have been in the social work field for the past decade in a myriad of settings. I truly believe this wide range of experience in areas such as preventive, clinical, schools, shelters, etc. has given me a holistic understanding of the various needs of my clients. I bring this knowledge, my own background and experiences, and my clinical experience into therapy in order to provide a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment that promotes healing - no matter what a person's need or trauma is.

Jenn Coonce
Licensed Psychoanalyst, Licensed Psychoanalyst, New York State
Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck — in relationships that don't work, careers that feel hollow, or patterns they can't seem to escape no matter how hard they try. As a Licensed Psychoanalyst with over 20 years of experience, I offer a different kind of therapy: one that goes beneath the surface to understand the unconscious forces that shape your choices and experiences.
Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, you can learn how to cope with what life throws your way, and why certain patterns keep repeating — and what you can do to change them. By talking with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, I believe anyone can learn to know themselves better and to live more consciously and deliberately.

Jonathan Schnapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine, collaborative relationship—one where you can speak freely and be met with curiosity rather than judgment. My approach is thoughtful and attuned, helping you make sense of patterns, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. Together, we’ll explore what’s getting in the way and work toward a deeper understanding that can open up new possibilities for how you relate to yourself and others.
