Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
You may be used to keeping things together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed or not good enough inside. Maybe part of you feels responsible for everyone else, while another part is exhausted and wants a break. Or you want to feel close to others but find yourself pulling away when you feel vulnerable. I help people understand these different parts of themselves. Even the parts that criticize, shut down, or push you too hard often developed for reasons like helping you cope or protect you from being hurt.
My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. There’s room for whatever you’re feeling, including mixed feelings about change.

Ciera Coyan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I love meeting clients exactly where they are at. I often work with folks who can be very self-critical, usually because they've learned to believe harmful messages about themselves. They might have heard that they aren't good enough because of their beliefs, their sexuality, their neurodivergent brains, or any number of reasons. I help my clients learn to change that narrative. To honestly and fearlessly look at themselves with compassion and acceptance. It's only from that place of compassionate acceptance that can we create meaningful, lasting change.

Dr. Christina J. Gonzalez
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdD, LMHC, NCC
Are you facing challenges in your life? I am a bilingual and bicultural Licensed Mental Health Counselor licensed in Florida with over 15 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked around the world- in Mexico, in the US, in Germany, in Japan, and in US, and worked in a wide variety of settings, including extensive work in community mental health, substance abuse/addictions, child welfare, and with military and veteran populations. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including couples/relationship issues, anxiety, depression, immigration-related issues, abuse and trauma, divorce and separation, and grief and loss, among other things. I have also worked extensively with the Marine Corps in the area of force preservation and suicide prevention, and have worked with other branches of the service as well, both in the US and OCONUS. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I honestly believe we can work together to find solutions for almost any problem and that we can emerge from challenges stronger, and even more resilient.
My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, mindfulness training, and other techniques. I also have incorporated many things I have learned in my travels and interactions with psychology in other cultures and countries into my extensive training. I will tailor our interactions and treatment to help you meet your goals and work collaboratively with you every step along the way.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

Humanistic Therapy NW
Therapist, LCSW, LICSW, ACSW, CSWA
We know that feeling understood matters just as much as clinical skill. We take care in matching clients with therapists who not only have strong training, but who also bring lived experience that helps them truly “get” what you’re going through.
Our therapists work in a way that is both clinical and deeply human—offering evidence-based support while honoring identity, context, and real-life experience. We focus on creating a relationship where you feel safe, respected, and supported, so therapy feels meaningful, not mechanical.
