Morgan Avis
Registered Social Worker, LSW
In my therapeutic practice, I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ identifying folks with anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues. I take an intersectional approach with clients to understand client's varying identities and how they interact with one another to create the client's perception of themselves and the world around them. I also like to utilize Systems therapy, where I examine with clients how they are impacted by the various interconnected systems in their lives, including but not limited to family, work, community, and societal structures. Through these means, I support clients in developing coping strategies and challenge their ways of thinking, so that when they leave my practice, they have strong skillsets in place to utilize even after sessions are completed.

Michael Maffei
Counselor/Therapist, LSW
I understand that sharing your vulnerabilities and opening up about your story can be difficult, but I believe everyone’s story deserves to be heard. I work best with clients who are ready to face these challenges, even if they’re unsure where to start. My role is to walk alongside you on your healing journey, offering support as we work toward a deeper understanding of your circumstances. Together, we’ll strive for personal growth, helping you create a more meaningful and balanced life.
I offer a safe, empathetic space where you can feel truly heard and supported. Specializing in anxiety, depression, and trauma, I tailor personalized treatment plans that focus on emotional stability and building on the resilience you already possess. Using evidence-based approaches, I ensure our work aligns with your personal values and unique needs. I also have a passion for working with children and teens who are navigating the complexities of parental divorce, helping them process their emotions and find healthy ways to manage change.
It’s a privilege to hear your story and walk with you on this journey. If you’re facing mental health challenges, I empathize with the weight they carry. When you’re ready to take the next step, I invite you to reach out, and together we’ll work toward a life where you’re not just surviving but thriving.

Sonia Rodrigues-Marto
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, LMFT, LCADC, ACS
Looking to make changes in your life or need some guidance in working with your child? I specialize in treating children, adolescents and adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-injurious behavior, sexual trauma, domestic violence, life transitions, family conflict, relationship issues and career changes. I work predominantly with young adults, women and children who have been impacted by trauma. I help support women in their recovery from betrayal and abusive relationships. In addition, I also work with parents to explore new ways to support children experiencing academic and/or behavioral difficulties.
I strive to provide a safe and supportive environment for my clients where they can feel supported on their path towards healing from their traumatic experiences and guide them towards creating the life they desire.
Taking that first step towards receiving the extra support you need is often the hardest but it can lead to an opportunity to heal old wounds and to explore any barriers that are keeping you from moving forward so you can have the life you desire. My approach is holistic, person-centered, strength-based and goal-oriented. I am fluent in Spanish & Portuguese.

Baumann Psychology
Psychologist, PhD
I am passionate about helping clients improve their well-being, their relationships, and their overall functioning. Together, my clients and I develop a deeper understanding of what they would like their life to look like and what is getting in the way. As we progress in therapy, we will build on personal strengths that clients bring to their own lives as well as shed light on areas that could be impacting their mental health concerns. I work from a bio-psycho-social perspective, which seeks to understand biological, psychological, and social factors that are impacting functioning as well as implement treatment to both alleviate and reduce overall distress or impairment. Together, we build tools to help the client thrive.

Patricia Valencia
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LPC
I work with adults who want to change their lives and get to the root of what makes them think, feel, and react in ways that keep them stuck. They desire to lessen stress, reduce anxiety, and improve their relationships. We work together to understand and minimize their negative responses to triggers. We explore the events, thoughts, and feelings that led to painful relationships and low self-esteem. We work together to develop realistic individualized strategies to minimize unhealthy patterns that prevent joy and peace in their lives. We collaborate to implement realistic changes that improve their quality of life.
