Debra Alper, Life Transitions Counseling LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Choosing a therapist is a highly subjective experience. Although education, good training and a comfortable environment all are important factors in the therapeutic experience, the most important quality to look for in a therapist is whether you feel that you can develop a trusting, open communication with them. Therapy ultimately is a relationship between you and your therapist. It is a different relationship than any other relationships you have in your life as it is bound by professional ethics, theory and it is not an equal give and take relationship. As a therapist, it is my job to help you create an environment that feels safe, supportive, and conducive to your self growth and insight. It is not my job to judge you, direct you, or impose my opinions onto your life. We work together to create a place for you in which you can discover what it is that you really need, want and feel outside of other's opinions and influences. It is my job to help you to strengthen your inner voice and the self awareness that allows you to find the answers to your own questions.

Alexa Louise Johnson-Roach
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, ATR-P
If you are someone who is struggling with addiction, depression, or anxiety and want to get your life back, I am here to help! The transition from addiction to your new sense of normalcy can be overwhelming and scary. It can also have an intense impact on different areas of your life, including work, relationships, and hobbies. If you are looking to get back to reaching your goals and finding yourself again, look no further, as I am confident that I can be a part of your healing journey.
I have worked alongside many people attempting to stop drug and alcohol use over the last several years. Through the approaches of ACT and CBT, I can help you find your path back to autonomy and freedom. I have also helped many couples through the difficult transitions in addiction recovery and provide services for connecting you with local resources.
I know that finding the right therapist is difficult, and often, the search for therapy is a pain as it is, so feel free to reach out and schedule a consultation. I am happy to answer any questions you might have about getting started or point you in the right direction if you find that I am not the right therapist for you.

Sushma Cheturvedula
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
In moments we feel inadequate, uncertain, or even confused, we often look for a helping hand. As a therapist, I perfectly understand that we all need a little extra support at some point in our lives. Together, we will work out solutions that could help you grow as an individual. Working with me can help improve your emotional well-being, make peace with your past, and live the life you’ve always wanted. Our minds can get overwhelmed sometimes, but I will help you unravel what’s causing you stress. Whether it is anxiety, grief, abuse, or even a tough breakup – there will be no judgment from me. Help is just a phone call away.
I use an eclectic approach influenced by Person-Centered therapy, so expect our sessions to be conversational. I also draw inspiration from Gestalt methods, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and other forms of trauma support I learned from working with people of all ages. I want to explore your history and understand the root causes of your stress.
Our counseling sessions will allow you to express freely and get the most out of therapy. Hopefully, my methods could help you find your voice, value your authenticity and uniqueness, and eventually reach your goals. I also believe in the power of introspection and self-acceptance, two ingredients necessary for growth and healing. I hope to hear from you!
