Donna M Torbico - HEAL & GROW for ACoAs
Counselor/Therapist, Recovery Therapist in Private Practice 39 years
FREE INTRO - to see if we're a good fit. My main focus is working with ACAs - adults who were raised in an alcoholic / narcissistic family. The long-term goal is to uncover your True Self, develop a Loving Parent voice, heal the Wounded Child, & encourage the Healthy Child to shine.
Together we identify the harsh beliefs you absorbed from your family, school & religion, and work on transforming them into positive do-able ‘rules’ to live by.
EXP: “I know what I know”, “I have a right to my needs”, “”There’s no such thing as perfect”…..
I also provide a safe place for you to experience painful or joyful emotions you weren't allowed to feel growing up. ACA Recovery work is about facing the reality of early damage, and working to overcome the after-effects.
“Trying to flourish in an atmosphere of criticism is like trying to get sober in a bar.”

Alex Ly
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
You're feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and drained by the pressures and demands placed on you. You try to make others happy and work as hard as you can, yet you never feel like it's good enough. You never feel "good enough" and you are reminded of that daily. You feel disconnected from your own life and trapped in a cycle of anxiety that can leave you feeling like you're watching your life from the outside, unable to reach in and make a change.
In your relationships, this gap widens, leaving you longing for a deeper bond. Yet, as you try to analyze and solve these feelings as if they were mere problems, the solutions become more elusive.

Jessica Thompson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Therapy is such a powerful, deep journey. And it goes beyond words. Talk therapy is important for processing and reflection, yes, but for lasting change we need to bring in the wisdom of the body and the right brain, the emotional brain. We can experiment with guided visualization, inner child work, movement, body talk, and creative expression to tap into those parts of you. Let's explore what you need together. Your relationships, your work, your creativity, your sense of purpose and meaning will all benefit. It starts with you and your willingness to heal.

Anat Sideman
Marriage and Family Therapist, JD, MA, LMFT
We are all capable of greater joy and intimacy in our lives. Partnering with the right therapist can be an important step towards that personal growth. Whether you're struggling with marital issues, lack of intimacy, infidelity, parenting concerns, the grief over the loss of a loved one, or feelings of depression, anxiety or despair, you are not alone. My intention is to help you develop clarity about the nature of your experiences, awareness of your strengths and challenges and empowerment in your daily life. Through this process of exploration you can move towards an enhanced sense of self and more gratifying, loving relationships. I am excited to invite you on this journey of healing and self-discovery.

Mitsue Nakagaki Karaman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
We all have moments in our lives when we need a little support. The most ambitious of us can get burnt out and even the most loving relationships can encounter bumpy roads. If you are here, you may be in that moment now -- feeling stuck or overwhelmed in some way. Perhaps you’re facing a difficult challenge or transition and need immediate support, or there is something you have carried for a long time that you’re ready to face. I offer the space to slow down, take a breath and explore what’s going on. We are all different, so my approach is collaborative and guided by how you experience the world.
