Diane Vaillancourt
Pre-Licensed Professional, M.A., psychotherapist, Life Coach
I believe healing takes place when the core of the emotions/feelings is identified and then expressed. Our emotions and behavior are mostly covered and protected to avoid pain. There is no healing without feeling the pain but it's only temporary. Once the pain is felt and released the door for Joy has opened. I also use EFT, Spirituality and Energy Healing as it complements the process of therapy.

Stefani Melendez
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CTMH,CAGCS
Starting therapy for the first time can feel overwhelming, but I'm here to make sure you feel comfortable and heard. I believe in focusing on your strengths and working together to discover how to use them effectively to find solutions. Together, we can build your resilience by creating a toolbox of internal coping skills that you can rely on in challenging times. In addition to strengths-based therapy, I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Through CBT, we can work on problem-solving, resilience-building, relaxation techniques, stress management, and even practice assertiveness through role-playing. Our sessions will be tailored to your goals, and I may suggest some exercises for you to try between sessions to help you apply these skills in your daily life.
My areas of speciality for adult clients aged 18-65 are: Grief, Racial Trauma, Self-Esteem, Anxiety, Career Counseling, Life Transitions, Relationship Issues, College/Grad School issues, Communication issues, and Women's Issues. If you ever feel unsure about how to start, have had a rough experience in the past, worry about being judged, or just feel a bit uncertain, please don't hesitate to reach out. Check out my Grow therapy or Headway profile listed below in the practice description section, see when I'm available, and let's take this step together!

North Star Wellness
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Asking for help is often seen as a sign of vulnerability, and in turn, it shows tremendous bravery and intelligence. It takes courage to admit that you need support and you are willing to bravely seek it out. This act reflects a deep understanding of oneself, ultimately it is a testament to your resilience and determination to overcome challenges, rather than struggling in silence.
