Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
As a therapist, and veteran, I’ve dedicated my life to supporting individuals through life’s most challenging moments. My journey has been shaped by the strength and resilience of those I’ve had the honor to serve, from fellow veterans and first responders to individuals seeking healing from trauma and personal hardship. I believe deeply in the power of therapy to be a beacon in rough waters—a safe harbor where clients can explore, heal, and grow. My approach blends empathy, respect, and practical guidance, creating a space where clients feel understood and empowered. I am committed to helping each person navigate their unique journey with renewed strength and hope.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In the intricate tapestry of our lives, the pursuit of happiness, safety, and love is a universal quest. Yet, for many, the journey toward emotional wellness is fraught with challenges beyond their control. Trauma, familial history, and the burdens of life can cast shadows that obscure life's inherent beauty. I believe that each individual deserves to uncover, rediscover, and reclaim life's joy and purpose.
As a compassionate and dedicated psychoanalytical therapist, I aim to guide you through this transformative process with warmth and understanding. Through welcoming and conversational counseling services, I aim to create a space where you can explore the intricate connections between your mind, body, and spirit. This holistic approach seeks to assist you in reconnecting with your higher purpose, allowing you to navigate life unburdened by emotional pain.

Nefertiti Nowell
Therapist, Dr.
While a person can feel better after a good talk with a friend or relative, for moderate or severe emotional distress, this relief is only temporary. Talking with a trained listener helps alleviate emotional distress for good. The clinicians in our practice are trained and ready to help you.

Shannon Fowler
Psychologist, PhD
As a therapist I really enjoy getting to connect with people with a wide variety of backgrounds. I believe that each person is doing the best they can with the resources they have at the moment. My goal is to always help you to get where you want to be. Therapy can look different depending on the goals and the person's personality, and I try my best to find an approach that will work for you.
