Hello, I'm Brandi Taylor, a licensed clinical social worker. I bring over six years of experience working closely with diverse communities. I focus extensively on trauma therapy, specializing in working with individuals living with HIV/AIDS and IPV. My approach includes facilitating trauma groups, advocating for victims of crime, and utilizing therapeutic modalities such as EMDR and DBT. I believe in the transformative power of empowerment. Together, we'll collaboratively set goals aimed at helping you become the best version of yourself. My style is laid-back and compassionate; I'm known to express passion with occasional colorful language, always rooted in care. I will challenge you when necessary and providing unwavering support as you achieve your goals. I won't do the work for you or give you all the answers. Instead, I'll walk beside you, offering guidance and encouragement as you navigate your path to healing. Let's work together to discover your strength and resilience.

My name is Toccara G. Jones. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC); I have experience providing supportive counseling to individuals, families, and groups from middle childhood through late adulthood with presenting concerns of trauma, substance use, grief, and serious mental illness. I use Person-Centered Therapy along with Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy to explore, address, and challenge underlying issues causing distress and maladaptive behaviors. I believe that people are equipped with unique strengths and are innately resilient in overcoming their presenting concerns.

Hello My name is Gerquel Bowman. I am a LPC who enjoys helping others. I have been a License Professional Counselor for 2 years. The population I served are children, adolescents and adults. I specialized in Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Mood Disorder, Life Issues, Women Issues, and Trauma. My theoretical framework is Cognitive Behavioral Techniques and Mindfulness Technique. One important thing I emphasized in my therapeutic model is building rapport. Building rapport with your therapist is everything. This is important because it does affect one's treatment outcome. I always focus on the client's well being and what can make them a better person as well.

I primarily use CBT and Psychodynamic theory when working with clients. I believe in being very direct and blunt with clients as this will help them grow. I don't beat around the bush or allow clients to get away with self-deception and confront their irrational and dysfunctional belief systems. I am comfortable treating a variety of symptoms and conditions. I believe in creating a safe space for clients to express themselves however they need to. This encourages growth and trust in the therapeutic alliance. I encourage clients to set the goals they want to reach. This is their process. Wherever they want to go, I will help them get there. I tell my clients I am the car. They are the driver. We go to the destination they determine. The first session with me is information gathering so I will be asking a lot of questions and they will be doing most of the talking.

Are you feeling stuck in negative thoughts, intense emotions, or behavioral patterns that don't serve your best interest? Are you hoping to build more meaning and joy in your life?

I'm here to join you on this journey to discover healing and build a balanced life. My goal is to help you find compassion for yourself, develop skills to help you navigate life stressors, and be confident in the resilient person you are. I believe that therapy is not “one size fits all” when it comes to the type of approach that is being used. Although my background and approach is deeply rooted in behavioral approaches, I recognize that therapy needs to be tailored and personalized to help you reach your goals and full potential. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have had the opportunity to work in the mental health and substance abuse field for over 5 years. I am professionally trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). I believe we are all unique and pull from multiple theories to best fit each client. I am available Monday through Thursday 3am - 10am.

Everyone has the ability to have joy and happiness, we just need to learn how! I help my clients by taking a positive approach to their lives. I understand the stress and depression that daily life and trauma has on each individual, as well as their family. It is my goal to find a way out of this cycle and create a meaningful life. I have been working with people while utilizing a positive approach for the past 20 years in order to bring meaning to each person as well as peace within a family.

A holistic approach is utilized to demonstrate how powerful connectivity of the mind, body, and spirit can be in the healing process and with equipping oneself in successful goal achievement. I have walked alongside many young adults, mature adults, and couples through difficult periods of life, transitions, and choices. Therapy is viewed as a joint venture where combined knowledge and skills are used to determine the best path of treatment and successful outcomes across all gender, cultural, and sexuality spectrums. My therapeutic style is centered around respect, understanding, sincerity, and providing a unique perspective to any challenge experienced. My goal is to help people better understand themselves so they can feel more fulfilled as an individual, partner, and/or professional.

Three words that describe my style are person-centered, warm, caring. My approach: 1) I never pathologize the client. 2) I look for the good, and I always find it. 3) I look for your strengths and competencies. 4) I work alongside you. You know yourself best. 5) We might even laugh in our sessions. I was a former divorced, single parent and I've been in a blended family now for 34 years. I know blended families, divorce, parenting, women's issues. I'm as human as you are; I've had my own counseling in the past. I listen and I am not going to judge you. As a trauma therapist, I respect how the brain is marvelously hardwired to move in the direction of healing, and I never pathologize a client's attempts at survival and coping. Welcome!

Hello, I'm Dennis Alvarez PsyD, LPC. Counseling should encourage and challenge individuals to meet their fullest potential by addressing their mental, emotional, and spiritual needs. When I work with clients, I like to help them understand how and why certain behaviors or patterns occur. I work with individuals with a history of depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance abuse issues. Unfortunately, these issues often lead to problems with relationships at home, work or school. Sometimes, people will have physical or somatic symptoms that can result in chronic health problems. Much of my previous research focused on the long-term effects of trauma and how it can lead to physical symptoms or illnesses. In my practice, I use an integrative approach to treatment. I utilize a variety of modalities, including CBT, Individual/Adlerian psychology, and Neurofeedback, to help clients manage or alleviate their symptoms.
