Phuong Thao Nguyen
Registered Social Worker, LSW, MSW
I work with adults and couples from different walks of life. As a holistic practitioner, I’ve come to understand it’s a different dance for each person when working towards embodying their voice, choice, boundaries, and authenticity. I take into consideration your experiences relationally and with systems and how they may impact the relationship to your inner landscape. My identities: 1st generation Vietnamese immigrant, non-binary, queer, polyamorous & ex-catholic. Also being someone who is neurodivergent, along with the intersection of these identities, has shaped the way I move in the world while inspiring me to continue being curious & going outside of the box when I work with each unique human.
My approach is non-judgmental, informed-consent, and person-centered while drawing upon an intersectional lens to honor each unique human where you are seen, heard, and feel like you matter. I believe in supporting clients to lead as you are the expert of your lived experiences while collaborating and at times challenging you on your reblooming journey.

Steve Wasilczuk, Positive Regard Therapy
Pre-Licensed Professional, BM
I believe that an empathic and authentic alliance is the foundation for therapeutic growth and meaningful change. You are the ultimate expert on your lived experiences, and my role is to meet you where you are with respect, honesty, and humility. My approach is strengths-based, anti-racist, and identity-affirming, and I integrate humanistic principles with narrative, existential, solution-focused, and Adlerian practices. This allows us to holistically address your concerns in an environment where you can feel truly seen, heard, and supported.
Before becoming a counselor, I worked as a K-8 music educator. During this time, I witnessed firsthand the profound impact the COVID-19 pandemic had on my students and their families, especially in terms of mental health. These experiences, along with my own creative background, inspired me to pursue a career in counseling. Today, I work with clients who seek help with issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, identity development, and the unique pressures faced by those in the creative fields.
My identity as a performer has also instilled a passion for supporting those in the creative fields. As a musician and former music educator, I understand the unique emotional and psychological experiences that come with a creative life. Whether you're an artist, musician, writer, or actor, I know that your creative journey is deeply intertwined with your emotional world. In my practice, I aim to provide a space where your creative identity can be explored and supported. Together, we’ll work through the challenges you face—whether they are related to performance anxiety, creative block, personal relationships, or broader life transitions—so that you can thrive both personally and professionally.
Whether you're seeking to overcome emotional obstacles, strengthen your identity, or navigate the complexities of a creative career, I'm here to help you achieve meaningful growth and well-being.

Stephanie Muro
Counselor/Therapist, MA
Life can feel overwhelming at times and it may seem that there is nothing that can be done to stop the pain and suffering, but this is not true. I use an integrative approach to therapy that includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), art therapy, and expressive techniques to meet your individual needs. Through therapy, I can assist you to address patterns of anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, and other stress-related issues.
My goal is to help individuals increase self-awareness and develop concrete tools to improve emotional wellness that will help them reach their goals. I encourage therapy to be a space where one can explore feelings, process thoughts, and identify personal strengths.
Whatever season you find yourself in, I am here to walk with you in the context of a nonjudgmental, warm, empathic, and collaborative space.

Caroline Smith
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Hi there. Admitting you need therapy is not always easy, but it's a courageous step toward prioritizing your mental health and well-being. I value your input and perspective, and I'd like to collaborate with you rather than tell you what to do. Together, we will tailor our sessions to meet your unique needs and goals. I make it a priority to create a welcoming environment where individuals feel comfortable openly discussing their concerns without fear of judgment. My practice primarily focuses on assisting clients with mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, and substance abuse.
Many of my clients grapple with daily life stressors and encounter difficulties in connecting with their loved ones. To address these issues, I employ a compassionate yet direct approach, drawing from evidence-based techniques rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
I'm genuinely eager to build a strong, trusting partnership with you and delve deeper into your story. Throughout our journey together, I strive to be a supportive guide, helping you navigate towards a more fulfilling and joyful life. Call or email me now to schedule an appointment or free consultation. I hope to hear from you soon.
