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.

Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Are you a high-functioning, driven mom who’s often managing it all—career, family, relationships—but finding yourself feeling exhausted, stretched thin, and unsure of how to prioritize yourself? I get it. With over 25 years of experience as a licensed psychologist and certified coach, I specialize in supporting women like you: high-achieving moms balancing both career success and the intense demands of parenting, often while navigating other challenges like anxiety, depression, burnout, toxic relationships, divorce, and/or grief.
I bring a compassionate, practical approach that includes both therapy and coaching and therapeutic tools. I take a holistic approach where we will focus on every part of your life and encorporate actionable steps for reclaiming control, reconnecting with your needs, and rebuilding energy and joy. We'll work together to develop a plan that empowers you to prioritize your mental health and establish boundaries so you can show up fully for both yourself and others without guilt.
And if you’re ready to dive deeper, I offer hypnosis services, designed to help you break through patterns that may be holding you back. Hypnosis offers an effective way to explore issues like burnout, anxiety, or decision-making, providing clarity and relief in a deeply relaxed state. I will tailor the hypnosis to match your specific need.
It’s time to care for yourself with the same commitment you give others. Reach out, and together, we can carve a path to a renewed, empowered life.

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.
