Narrative
David J Schlosz
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC-S
When people begin therapy, they are often carrying far more than anyone around them realizes. Beneath the anxiety, exhaustion, overthinking, shame, conflict, or loneliness is often a person who has spent years trying to survive, hold everything together, meet expectations, and remain strong for everyone else. My work as a therapist is rooted in helping people reconnect with themselves beneath those survival strategies.
I believe healing happens most deeply through authentic human connection. While insight and coping skills are important, lasting transformation often occurs when people feel truly seen, emotionally safe, and no longer alone in their experience. My approach to therapy is relational, compassionate, grounded, and integrative. I draw from attachment theory, somatic approaches, existential therapy, mindfulness, and relational-cultural frameworks to help clients better understand not only their thoughts, but also the emotional and nervous system patterns that shape their lives and relationships.
As both a therapist and counselor educator, I have spent years helping people navigate shame, trauma, grief, identity struggles, relational pain, anxiety, burnout, and the quiet sense of disconnection many people carry beneath the surface. I work especially well with individuals who are insightful and self-aware, yet still find themselves repeating painful patterns, struggling to trust themselves, or feeling emotionally stuck despite “knowing better.”
I do not view people as broken. I see symptoms as intelligent adaptations to pain, loss, fear, and unmet needs. Therapy is not about becoming someone else. It is about coming home to yourself with greater compassion, honesty, courage, and freedom.
My hope is to create a space where clients can slow down, breathe, explore their inner world without judgment, and begin building a life that feels more authentic, connected, and sustainable. Healing is not about perfection. It is about learning to relate to yourself and others in ways that bring greater wholeness, presence, and aliveness.

Narrative
Courtney Loyola
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Becoming — Not Broken.
You've found yourself researching 'Am I a narcissist?' in the middle of the night, you have constant questions as to 'How did I get here?' and 'Why do these things keep happening to me?' You've lost someone very close to you and now you are spinning out and can't seem to find your feet. You keep repeating patterns that bring the same people into your life and leave you in pieces after they've left. You're ready to change, you just don't know how or where to start.
I believe healing is not about fixing what’s wrong with you, but uncovering the strength and resilience that have always been there. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by complex trauma, narcissistic abuse, or deep grief. Together, we create a safe, grounded space where painful experiences can be processed and integrated — not avoided. Our work is centered on helping you reconnect with your voice, your clarity, and your capacity for secure relationships.

Lost & Found Counseling, Jennifer Cranford
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, CAGCS (Advanced Grief Certification) and Brainspotting
Have you lost your way? Do you feel misunderstood? Do you feel alone?
Perhaps your life was headed in one direction when you were hit by the unthinkable that suddenly changed the entire trajectory of your life and now you feel lost, alone, and without direction.
Or perhaps you are in a relationship with someone that you love that has gradually become mentally or spiritually abusive and you have lost the person inside yourself that you used to be.
My role is to give you a safe place to process your story, aloud and uncensored. I will listen for the themes of your journey and help you identify what you still need for your new path of hope-- whether it's practical tools, life-giving relationships, new perspectives, or spiritual healing. I will be there to support you, as you take one step at a time to walk the path of life in the freedom that God desires for you.

Narrative
Amy-Noelle Shih
Licensed Professional Counselor, Relationship Therapist and Life Coach, LPC, MA
I am a relationship coach and therapist, with an intuitive gift for working with relational dynamics.
What I have learned as a relationship coach and therapist and as a human soul who loves LOVE and the magic of healthy relationships is that it’s not enough to:
❤️love spending time together
❤️share values
❤️have good chemistry
❤️laugh together
❤️have good conversation
❤️genuinely enjoy one another’s company
❤️admire each other’s qualities
❤️feel love.
Yes, all of this is very important.
But if there is a deficit in body intelligence, heart attunement, healthy emotional vulnerability, and self-awareness, the issue will almost always be the same.
Partners may believe the issue is the breakdown of one of the things mentioned above. When the truth is, even the “masters of relationships” have challenges, ruptures, moments of feeling hurt, disappointed, misunderstood. What becomes the salve of reconciliation is the capacity to gain understanding, for deep care of another’s feelings, and a genuine desire to find the sweet spot where empathy and validation become antidotes to stuckness.
As soon as one feels seen and heard, pent-up energy is released, defenses soften, and there is more love, freeing up the barriers to seeking ways to work it out. Which is to say, loving understanding is the solution to finding solutions!
When partners can feel like their feelings and what's on their hearts is worthy of being held with importance and tenderness, then everything becomes more possible. There is new motivation, receptivity, and selfless energy that fills the space between partners. Growth, feeling close, and deeper trust are forged beautifully.
But if partners have fragile egos, cannot practice healthy control of their reactions, choose communication patterns that create more distance and suffering, are not willing to see their part in conflict, and allow their own stories and assumptions to rule their hearts and minds rather than compassionate understanding, then growth and change stall and stagnate.
Without self-awareness and course correction, even what is great about the relationship starts to recede into the background as the pain and disappointment get louder and take center stage, until only negativity seems to run the show.
