Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, a trauma survivor, and someone with a chronic pain disorder; I approach the work that I do from a place of empathy and personal understanding. I have an intense passion for understanding personal identity and the way race, culture, class, and sexuality come together to form what we believe about ourselves and what we feel we can accomplish in our lives. Anxiety and trauma can live in our bodies - together we will create a relationship that fosters dynamic and lasting growth, tapping into undiscovered reserves of resiliency that will help navigate the past and prepare for a more hopeful future.

Alison Huang - Grow Your Mind Psychotherapy
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
“Feelings are much like waves, we can’t stop them from coming but we can choose which one to surf.”
Do you feel a lot of feelings and you are not sure what to do with them? Have you tried therapy before, but it didn’t work out? Are you new to therapy and wonders how therapy works? Well…your search will stop here after you work with Alison. Alison is a person-centered therapist who values her relationship with clients. She integrates different modalities to meet clients’ needs. Instead of talking about psychological theories, Alison uses a nondirective approach to help clients gain insights and change their thinking patterns. Clients often describe the session with Alison is inspiring and light-hearted which helps clients be the best version of themselves and brings joy back to their life.

Kris O'Shee
Counselor/Therapist, MA in Counseling Psychology, Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I have a MFA in dance and a BA in Counseling Psychology. For many years I had a private practice in massage therapy where I also taught meditation and yoga. I have received trainings in somatic psychology, Jungian and Psychoanalytic psychotherapy, Gestalt psychotherapy, energy healing, and Mind-Body Medicine, with an emphasis on trauma and PTSD. I work with clients holistically. I want to help you become aware of all the parts of your personhood-- your mental life, as well as your physical and spiritual well being. Whatever problems you face in life; whatever obstacles might be preventing you from moving forward in work, in relationships; whatever suffering you are experiencing, I want to give you the tools to help you meet life's challenges and to gain a deeper understanding of yourself. As a therapist, I value the safety and confidentiality of the therapeutic relationship. I am committed to creating an environment where you can feel free to explore, to tell your story, to express your deepest feelings. And to have hope, hope that over time you will be able to make the kinds of changes you need and desire-- to truly become your most authentic self.

Dr. Sophia Aguirre
Psychologist, Ph.D., CGP, F-AGPA
I am a Licensed Psychologist and founder of the Aguirre Center of Inclusive Psychotherapy, a group practiced dedicated to providing culturally-affirming psychotherapy. I have a passion for working with folks who hold marginalized identities including Latinx, BIPOC, LGBTQ+ and relationship-structure minorities.
I have over a decade of experience of providing psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and groups with a wide-range of concerns and struggles, but a common focus in my clinical work is helping individuals establishing healthier, more authentic relationships with themselves and with others.
