Amanda Martell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I have been working with women and children for the past decade in a myriad of settings. I truly believe this wide range of experience in areas such as preventive, clinical, schools, shelters, etc. has given me a holistic understanding of the various needs of my clients. I bring this knowledge, my own background and experiences, and my clinical experience into therapy in order to provide a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment that promotes healing - no matter what a person's need or trauma is.

Wayne Ayers
Psychologist, PhD
Psychotherapy can be challenging, but it is a rewarding process. Most people come in to discuss the problems in their lives. They often forget about what is going well, and what are their natural talents and abilities. I train and supervise psychologists at area hospitals. Because of this I am sensitive to ethical concerns: honesty, integrity and practicality. I strive to create a very kind and safe atmosphere where personal exploration is possible. Psychotherapy should be collaborative. I am vocal and active and give my clients ongoing feedback, inquiry and support.

Jessenia has provided therapy to those in hospital, non-profit, and community mental health clinic settings. She’s worked with adults, children, and families throughout the years. Ultimately, her experiences led to her focus on exploring patterns that often appear in anxiety, depression, interpersonal trauma, and identity development all of which informs the relational lens practice that is Capaz Counseling.
Jessenia supports the view that wellness is an act of resistance and uses therapy to affirm, empower, and inform. She centers her work on helping folx understand how their parts of self is shaped by their encounters, and how they can ultimately form a different pattern that supports the resilience that already lies within them.

Earlyn Sharpe
Counselor/Therapist, M.A., M.Ed, MHCP, NLP, ND
I know life does not always work out as planned. When these situations arise, you need an unbiased, non-judgemental, trained professional to help you navigate life challenges. At my practice, I offer a unique blend of counselling and coaching strategies, integrating evidence-based therapies like CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), RECBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy), Hypnotherapy, and EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) into my sessions, mainly specializing in individual and couples counselling. This holistic approach allows me to address mental health challenges, personal growth, and relationship dynamics comprehensively.
I facilitate coaching strategies by leveraging strengths-based approaches and motivational techniques to empower clients to achieve their desired outcomes. I simplify goal-setting, provide accountability, and offer practical strategies to navigate obstacles and maximize potential of my clients.
Clients often commend my empathetic and collaborative approach, emphasizing the transformative impact of our work together. They appreciate the practical tools and insights gained, empowering them to navigate life's complexities with resilience and clarity.
I encourage you to reach out if you seek practical support to overcome challenges, enhance relationships, and achieve personal goals.
