Bambara Psychotherapy, LCSW, PLLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I truly believe that anyone can benefit from therapy no matter what you are struggling with, celebrating, or conflicted about. I’m committed to helping individuals be their best selves by providing a comforting and safe environment where you can explore anything you are looking for support with. Whatever your life situation is, you don't have to manage it alone. We can unpack it together. My goal as a psychotherapist is to bring out an individual's ability to thrive at their utmost potential. I combine a personalized therapeutic approach with evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy. These practices enhance one's ability to challenge destructive thinking, utilize strengths, and overcome the feeling of being defined by their struggles.

Dustin Kerrone
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I find that for most of us, we heal best when we can feel completely accepted without judgment or critique by another, and then learn for ourselves how to value the full range of our own emotions. By relaxing our self-control and increasing self-compassion, feelings can get unstuck and flow more freely, generating new vitality, action, and wonder.
Wherever you are, we can establish a safe space on Zoom where I will help you cultivate your own distinctive insight, wisdom, and imagination. I combine many powerful modalities, including Jungian inner work, neuroscience, fitness, career, and spirituality, but I will carefully tailor my approach to honor your unique needs and possibilities.
