Josh Spell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
At times, we may lose our ability to trust our intuition. We may feel like imposters in our relationships, jobs or within ourselves. Therapy can offer a bridge back to understanding your authentic needs. I work with adults of all genders, races and sexual orientations experiencing anxiety, self-doubt and perfectionism. Symptoms related to these issues can manifest as feeling cut off from emotions, overwhelm, stress and burnout. I also provide services to athletes and performing artists who may be experiencing life transitions, performance anxiety or injury.
My own journey as a member of the LGBTQ+ population and professional ballet dancer led me to the field of mental health. My approach is client-centered and strengths-based. I believe everyone has the wisdom to know what is best for their own growth. I am here to guide individuals in uncovering new skills and untangling unhelpful narratives and core beliefs.
Together, we will develop an understanding of structures at play in your life that uphold self-doubt by laying the framework to trust your intuition and Self. We will also stretch your mind through self-compassion, curiosity, resilience, creativity, and adaptability. If you are interested in meeting with me, please reach out to see if we are a good fit. I look forward to hearing from you!

Ariel Shearer
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA
You might find yourself caught in cycles of self-doubt or feeling unsure how to move toward the life you want. Past experiences—such as trauma, relational pain, or unmet needs—can linger, shaping how you see yourself and make sense of the world. You may also notice a tendency to judge your emotions harshly, turning frustration or blame inward and carrying a quiet sense of loneliness or disconnection.
Whether you’re navigating life transitions, exploring identity, or longing for deeper connection in your relationships, I believe therapy can illuminate paths forward. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. Together, we’ll work at a pace that feels right for you, supporting the growth of self-trust and opening possibilities for healing, meaning, and more authentic connection.

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. Misty Gibson
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LMHC, LCPC, LPC, CST-S, ACS
Clients often tell me that working with me feels like finally being able to exhale. My practice is grounded in genuine care, deep clinical expertise, and a commitment to honoring the full complexity of your identity, your relationships, and your nervous system. You do not have to mask, explain yourself, or fit into a narrow idea of what healing should look like. Here you get thoughtful guidance, clear-eyed support, and a therapeutic space that respects both your boundaries and your brilliance. If you are ready for therapy that actually feels like it was built for you, I would love to connect and help you move toward a more regulated, connected, and satisfying life.

Navjoat Kaur
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSWAIC
What makes my therapy approach meaningful is the blend of warmth, cultural awareness, and practical support I bring into every session. Clients often tell me they feel genuinely seen and understood, sometimes for the first time, because I take the time to learn their story, honor their lived experiences, and meet them where they are. I focus on helping people make real, lasting shifts in how they relate to themselves and the people they care about, without judgment or pressure. If you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of your next step, reaching out is a powerful place to start. I’d be honored to support you in building clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of emotional wellbeing.

Carolyne Mburu-Gerena
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC
My approach to mental health care is collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in the belief that each person’s story matters. I work with teens and adults who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, and life transitions. My goal is to create a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward meaningful change.
In our work together, I combine psychiatric medication management with brief therapeutic support. This allows us to address symptoms while also exploring practical strategies that improve daily functioning, resilience, and overall wellbeing. I believe mental health is influenced by many factors, including stress, sleep, lifestyle, and physical health. I take a whole-person approach when developing treatment plans.
Seeking help can be a big step, and my role is to walk alongside you in that process. Together, we focus on identifying what is getting in the way of the life you want to live and creating a path forward that feels realistic and sustainable.
My goal is not only to help reduce symptoms but to support you in building a life that feels balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with your values.
