Telespera Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor
Does this sound familiar? You’re always pushing yourself to do more, chasing perfection, and going out of your way to make everyone else happy. If that resonates, you might just be an overachieving, perfectionistic people-pleaser.
But let’s be real for a moment. Behind all that drive and ambition, there’s often a hidden struggle. It’s like you’re juggling a million things, projecting success to the world while quietly battling doubts and worries when no one’s looking. It’s exhausting, isn’t it?
And then there’s your past. Sure, you might not call it trauma, but there are moments that still stick with you. They linger, shaping how you approach life and relationships today. You can feel their impact, even if you try to push them aside.
So here’s the big question: Are you reaching the point where it’s all just too much to handle on your own? If so, you don’t have to do it alone. Let’s talk.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Clients work best with someone they trust and feel comfortable with. One of the most consistent pieces of feedback I get is how easy it is to talk with me and they appreciate that I'm "real". I believe that a pinch of empathy and a dash of compassion makes the perfect recipe to provide you an accurate reflection needed to do meaningful therapy work.

Ema Grant
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS LPC
So, it happened. She left, he died, they fired you - life is not going the way it's supposed to. Normally, you have it all together. You go to work, pay your bills, take care of your family, spend time with your friends. But now you can't sleep, can't eat, can't focus. Work is a mess, home is a mess, you're a mess. That stuff from your past is haunting you again. The voice is your head is tearing you down all the time. You're lonely, tired, angry, sad, scared - you're simply not okay. But when you try to talk to your friends or family about it, it gets awkward and one or both of you shuts down. You don't know what else to do. I've been there, when life has fallen apart and we're trying to pick up the pieces. When life has fallen apart and we're trying to pick up the pieces, we need a space to feel heard and understood. More importantly, we need to get feedback and learn new skills to start moving forward with life. Choosing to meet with a therapist and share your struggles and trauma is a bold, brave, deeply personal thing to do. I'd be honored to meet you and walk with you as you set down the bricks of your past and build a better life for yourself and your loved ones.

Jo Anna Sena
Marriage and Family Therapist, LAC
Everyone needs care and support. I believe treatment is more successful when there is an openness and a willingness to work together and collaborate. You do not have to know where to begin but if we work together we can help you reach deeper levels of understanding and healing. Whether it is struggling with the stresses of life or life transitions I want you to feel supported and empowered to be bold in living your best life.
I find effective practices that include focusing on the whole person, being present with you and helping you connect to your mind, body and emotions. Though I can assist you in a variety of ways, I find methods such as Gestalt and mindfulness based to be very useful in helping you better connect to yourself and make sense of what you are experiencing.
Life is full of challenges and part of what makes life beautiful is our ability to see beyond the challenges and find the skills to make the human experience worthwhile. I would love to connect with you. I honor the sacred space you invite me into and I hope to build a collaborative partnership with you in a way that you feel the most supported.
