Gabe Lopez
Pre-Licensed Professional, LMSW
I believe that we all have a story. And if we all took the time to listen to one another's story, we'd all probably be in a much better place both mentally and emotionally. But that's what's great about therapy. My therapy space is a space for you to come in and tell your story. We will explore your relationships, past experiences, present challenges, and so much more. I operate from a relational approach, meaning that I believe you and I are collaborating on creating the therapeutic space that is unique to you and I. We can use the relationship you and I are building to help give you greater insight into what may not be working in your life currently, and we can identify how to make lasting change with this new level of awareness.

Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
I see myself as an intuitive, creative, informed, and highly trained Clinical Psychologist that provides a safe, nonjudgmental, and transformative environment. Therapy with me fosters a deep sense of engagement and connection, a sense of feeling heard and understood, and clarity where there was previously ambiguity. I have a passion for the importance of relationships, authentic living, self-acceptance, and the complex experiences of those who hold multiple identities. I specialize in hard to talk about topics that are often stigmatized or concealed. I treat clients who are dealing with a variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, co-dependency, interpersonal problems (i.e., couples therapy, sex therapy), stigma/discrimination, childhood/adult sexual trauma, shame and guilt (among others). I specialize in non-traditional/diverse relationships and sexuality, complex PTSD, LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy, and the unique stressors of being a creative.
I work well with curious individuals who are motivated to grow, share, be vulnerable, and play in therapy and in their lives. Creativity and curiosity in psychotherapy allows both of us to explore, question, imagine, and reflect on thoughts and experiences with depth and authenticity. Together we explore more flexible ways of thinking and relating to others.
I offer evidence-based therapies from a curious, nonjudgmental philosophy. No matter where you have been, evidence-based therapies focus on changing the now. I strive to help my clients experience the world mindfully, and in accordance with their personal values. Through our work in cultivating an affirming, authentic, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship, I provide support while we collaboratively deconstruct what is causing distress in your life and preventing you from being your most effective and authentic self. Individual therapy facilitates insight and growth, becoming more effective at actualizing your values, and building more authentic relationships with yourself and with others.
While there are many forms of therapy you can pursue, my expertise is in time-limited, evidence-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT), the Unified Protocol for emotional disorders, and third wave CBT such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness based interventions. (I do have experience in, and practice, an eclectic arrangement of other modalities as well-- when applicable or specifically requested.) We explore thoughts, beliefs, and understanding, while also prioritizing behavioral processes that focus on your contexts and the functions of how you relate to your internal experiences. CBT is designed to help individuals notice and shift their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to get relief from painful emotions such as anxiety and sadness.

April Tettemer
Art Therapist, LCAT
I have a unique approach to therapy in that my educational background has allowed me to be trained in classic therapy modalities like CBT and DBT along with Creative Arts Therapy methods. I like to implement creative arts and creativity in general to classic therapy practice as client is comfortable. In addition to my creative approach to therapy I keep in mind values that influence my practice. I treat the client as an equal and respect the client's perspective and lived experience. I keep a non judgmental therapy space and am open to all orientations and lifestyles seeking therapy to increase their life satisfaction and to decrease feelings like anxiety and depression. I am a therapist who also comes form a multicultural perspective and like to keep in mind the clients macro and microenvironments that contribute to their lived experience and beliefs.
