Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
I'm not your ordinary therapist. I have 26 + years of experience as a therapist, plus I have the life experience of a wife of 46 years, mother of two, and grandmother of four. I am the therapist that people come in and say, "Wow, you helped me more in one session than I got out of years with several other therapists." I am fun, direct, empathetic, but direct so that you can have the results you are looking for in a short amount of time. I love what I do, so it's not work to me. I'm very interactive in sessions so there won't be many times where I just sit there and don't provide feedback. I'm the type of therapist that will call you out on your stuff so I can help you meet your goals and have better relationships with others. I love talking with potential clients to see if I'm a good fit. After a phone call with me you will be able to get a sense if I'm a good fit for you. Please give me a call and let's chat!

Misty Nomberto with Beacon Therapy of Utah
Pre-Licensed Professional, CSW
Life can be unpredictable and overwhelming. Whether you're going through a faith shift, relationship change, are navigating your personal identity or are dealing with aging, grief or trauma, you can benefit from support. You want to feel understood, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence. You may benefit from tools that help you heal, make sense of it all and feel empowered.
I offer a warm, supportive space where we’ll use tools like DBT, EMDR, ACT, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing to help you feel more grounded, resilient and empowered. I work with folks moving through grief, trauma, addiction recovery, faith shifts, aging, dementia, and identity transitions, including within the LGBTQIA+ community.
You don’t have to go through this alone. I’m here to create a safe, supportive space where your experiences are heard and your healing is prioritized. Whether you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or just need someone to walk beside you, therapy can help you find clarity and build the life you want. I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Peace and Balance Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Will I ever feel like myself again? It can feel as though a part of you has vanished, leaving behind an emptiness nothing seems to ease. Life feels muted; colors less vivid, joy just out of reach. Some days, you hardly recognize the person you’ve become. You want to move forward, yet every step feels heavy and uncertain. When you think about the future, it often appears distant and dark, leaving you wondering how life reached this point.
Therapy with me offers a safe, supportive space to untangle the layers of your emotions, thoughts, and experiences. I provide a compassionate environment where you can openly explore anxiety, depression, and the challenges weighing on you. Even if you feel trapped by your current circumstances, it is possible to find clarity, direction, and a sense of freedom through working with a professional.
Will happiness return? Yes. Counseling can help you reconnect with who you want to be and how you want to feel. This is your opportunity to make a change and step away from the life that has been holding you down. Take the step you’ve been postponing and reconnect with your confident, joyful self. I’m here to help when you’re ready. Reach out today to begin.

Alina Hovsoyan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Navigating life as a minority, managing anxiety, or striving for perfection can feel overwhelming—especially during major life transitions. As a trauma-informed therapist, I offer a safe and supportive space where you can explore these challenges with compassion and without judgment. With years of international experience, I bring a broad, culturally attuned perspective to therapy, helping clients feel truly seen, understood, and validated.

Joanne A. Petursson
Psychologist, PsyD
Ready to make a change in your life, but not sure where or how to start? Let’s take that first step together. I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience working with adults who are ready to make meaningful change—but need support getting started. Whether you’re struggling with substance use, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, or just feeling stuck, you don’t have to face it alone. I use proven approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based strategies. I offer ADHD evaluations for adults, with tailored treatment recommendations based on the client's unique needs. I enjoy working with Veterans and college students, I have an extensive background working with substance use issues, and I am certified in CBT for chronic pain.
I focus on creating a supportive, non-judgmental space for adults dealing with a variety of mental health issues. My goal is to help clients explore what’s holding them back and build practical strategies to move forward. Additionally, I endeavor to help my clients feel more grounded, clear, and empowered.
I accept Highmark, Optum, Aetna, and UPMC commercial insurance and I am happy to help with reimbursement for out-of-network clients. Clients are encouraged to contact their insurance company to verify that I am in-network if they would like to use insurance benefits, especially if located outside of Pennsylvania.
