Kelsey Grant
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LCMHCA
There's a part of you that has been managing, achieving, and holding it together for a long time. And it's tired. Not in a way that a vacation fixes — tired in a way that makes you wonder why the things that are supposed to feel good still feel like work.
I offer Integrated IFS and EMDR for people who are done with surface-level and ready to understand what's actually driving the patterns. Intensive formats from a single deep-dive session to multi-day immersions let us do in hours what weekly therapy can take years to reach.
This isn't about becoming a different person. It's about understanding the parts that have been in the way and finally giving them a reason to step back.

Most people have something in their lives that they would like to change, whether it's to lose weight, quit smoking, get rid of some phobia or habit that is holding them back. Often these things seem too difficult to change. Most people never think about hypnosis as an option, their knowledge limited to stage shows or movies where hypnosis and mind control play a part. Modern hypnosis is a widely recognized practice that has helped millions of people overcome all kind of challenges. I started my practice with a focus on sexuality and that still forms a large part of my what I do, working with people with ED, PE, lack of desire, inability to orgasm, assisting them in enhancing their erotic lives, experiencing more pleasure, removing mental and emotional block that interfere with accessing their full sexual potential. I have expanded into medical hypnosis, removing symptoms of seemingly incurable conditions when doctors have given up on their patients and helping people deal with chronic pain. I've studied "Hypno-Oncology" enabling me to support patients on their Cancer journey, helping with pain, depression, and the various side effects of Cancer treatment. Studies have shown that Hypnosis can strengthen the immune system, lower blood pressure, among many other things. I have worked with many clients who had been in therapy for decades and were unable to get relief from their issues only to completely overcome them in one or two sessions of hypnosis. Certainly, in our stressful times hypnosis has become the go to treatment for anxiety of all sorts. If there is anything in your life you would like to change contact me and let's discuss how we might work to get the life you want.

Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, addiction, or a major life transition, I’ll meet you where you are and walk alongside you with compassion, honesty, and expertise. If you’re ready for real change—not just symptom relief—I invite you to reach out. You don’t have to do this alone.

Banu Ibaoglu Vaughn
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC, LMHC, CIRT, CCH
I work with couples and individuals who are curious about their relationships. I am interested not only in what feels difficult, but in what those struggles may be revealing about who you are and how you want to live. I focus on how we love, how we defend against love, and what we long for when we cannot find our way back to each other. These patterns shape both our partnerships and our way of being in the world. Most conflicts that bring people to therapy nearly always point toward something that needs attention, a place where growth is trying to happen.
Relationships are living fields. They carry our histories, our cultural inheritances, and our unfinished emotional stories, but they also carry possibility. This is true of the relationships we have with others and the relationship we have with ourselves. Many of the individuals I work with feel a gap between their current reality and the life they sense is possible but have not yet been able to inhabit. I do not see this as pathology. It often signals that your development is asking for attention.
I am a clinical trainer and supervisor in Imago Relationship Therapy and have over twenty years of experience working across cultures and contexts. My orientation is dialogical, experiential, and psychodynamic. In sessions, I integrate somatic awareness and close attention to what unfolds in real time, such as shifts in tone, subtle contractions, or moments of distance. We slow these down so that reactions can become meaningful rather than automatic. We also make plenty of room for laughter. I find that humor is often the first sign of a pattern breaking, a way to hold the absurdity of the human experience while moving toward something more vital.
I work online with U.S. and international clients, including cross-cultural couples and expats navigating identity shifts and displacement. Culture, migration, and family history leave deep imprints on how we attach and how we imagine intimacy. These layers are always part of our conversation.
Therapy with me is steady, engaged, and deeply reflective. I trust that individuals and relationships carry an inner movement toward aliveness. My role is to help you recognize it, support it, and allow it to shape how you live, both together and individually.
If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out to schedule an initial consultation.

GRIS ALVES
Counselor/Therapist, Compassionate Inquiry, Trauma Informed Mindfulness Teacher

My practice is rooted in mindfulness, somatic awareness, and evidence-based therapy, and I am certified in Compassionate Inquiry®, a trauma-informed approach developed by Dr. Gabor Maté that supports deep emotional processing and nervous system regulation. Clients often reach out when they feel overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or ready to move beyond survival patterns related to anxiety, depression, addiction recovery, grief, or trauma. Therapy with me is collaborative, culturally sensitive, and grounded in safety, helping clients reconnect with their inner wisdom and build lasting emotional resilience.
