When we connect, we boost our mood and increase our ability to manage our emotions. Partnering with a supportive therapist is the first step. With a supportive connection, you can discover your unmet needs and embrace your vulnerability with courage. Meeting what scares us the most is our greatest potential for reclaiming our power. When we are the empowered hero of our story, we can make positive changes for ourselves – or find the courage to let go of what we can not change.

When we connect, we are supported. Through our gentle and respectful therapeutic connection, I look forward to witnessing your empowerment and the rediscovery of your inner strength. As a unique individual, my interaction with you is uniquely focused and tailored toward a compassionate approach to life’s problems while living joyfully.

When we connect, we move forward. With warmth, honesty and a couple of laughs, we will work on gaining insight, understanding your experiences and removing challenges to achieve satisfaction in your life. You are not alone when we connect.

Zianna Khachaturian, LMSW, CASAC, CRPA-P

Life can get a little bit hectic and sometimes we lose ourselves in the mix. Losing ourselves can look like a loss of energy, not knowing what we enjoy or not, lack of boundaries, taking care of everyone around us but ourselves and avoiding others while also avoiding alone time with ourselves. Sound familiar? If yes, then let’s find YOU! Your authentic self sets boundaries, shows confidence, knows what you want and don’t want, and has some greater fulfillment with a life purpose. The authentic you is out there, so let’s start looking.

Should I get the opportunity to work with you, you will see that my counseling style is very relatable, down-to-earth and realistic. You tell me what you want to achieve in therapy or we will work together to find that answer. Either way, the therapy I offer has one consistent theme; being a better version of yourself than you were the day before.

If you’re unsure about wanting therapy or not, ask yourself these questions. Do you spend at least an hour on your phone a week, spending money on apps and games? Do you go shopping, spend time filling your cart or spend money that should be saved? Lastly, ask yourself this; why can’t that same time, energy and money be spent on YOU? Invest in yourself.

Alexandria Gonzalez, LMSW, CASAC

You deserve a life of happiness, abundance, and peace! Many people see therapy as that one-sided conversation laying on that stereotypical couch we see in movies. Therapy doesn’t have to be a painful or intimidating thing! My goal is to help you be the version of you that YOU want. You are capable of achieving whatever solutions and life changes you are looking for while enjoying the process and experiencing yourself in new ways.

During my 5+ years working as a clinician, I have helped individuals and families find healing and understanding in times of challenge and desperation. My goal in therapy is to guide you to become aware of patterns in situations and emotions, and learn how to avoid, cope, and replace unhealthy actions to achieve wellness.

Life is too short to give in to trauma, be anxious and angry all the time, or let toxic relationships control us. I want you to be free of emotional pain, able to deal with life on life’s terms, and to find purpose/ meaning in work, family, friendships, and all other areas of your life. I hope you will take a moment to reach out and see how I can help!

Life can bring uncertainty and pain that we need help to navigate and heal from. Are you feeling unhappy or lost? Having relationship difficulties? Worried about the future? Have you endured great losses or hardships that are leaving you feeling confused, isolated or unlovable? You do not have to shoulder this alone. Maybe you want to feel fulfilled or joyful. Maybe you want to cultivate meaningful relationships. Maybe you want to grow in ways you never thought possible. I am passionate about helping people put the pieces of themselves back together in a way that leaves them feeling inspired and open to life’s possibilities.

I am here to support you and attune to your needs by offering mindfulness techniques, CBT or attachment-based approaches. I help you explore your underlying emotions and thoughts to find solutions to what you are struggling with. This will help you uncover your inner strengths so that you can move forward with peace, clarity and self-trust.

Together, we can explore your challenges to help you find the hope and strength you need to live fully. I will provide a safe, non-judgmental space that offers support and compassion. We can collaborate on what is most important to you and go at your pace, keeping your needs at the core of the work. I look forward to connecting with you.

I believe that psychotherapy is a healing journey. I meet clients where they are to find creative and practical ways to alleviate their emotional suffering and stress. I specialize in working with older clients, LGBT clients, clients suffering the pain of loss/grief, neurodiverse clients, and those in life transition. I like to use a variety of interventions including CBT, poetry therapy, narrative therapy, and internal family systems to support and assist clients as they discover new and healthy ways of improving their lives.

Erin O’Fallamhain, LMSW

I am a licensed social worker experienced in working with teens and young adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. My mission is to provide compassion, empathy, and create a safe space to explore feelings, thoughts, and patterns of behavior. In today’s fast-paced world it can feel hard to keep up with daily demands. Many people find themselves putting their needs after the needs of their loved ones. Leaving your needs for last can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body.

I believe that working together utilizing a strengths-based perspective can help each client identify their own personal assets and inner strengths while providing opportunities to learn and practice more effective coping and communication skills. I also utilize CBT and Mindfulness to assist with overcoming challenges and attaining goals.

I believe creating space for yourself is the key to mental wellness. Together we will work to find what skills and strategies will work best for you to decrease the impacts of stress and increase feelings of joy in your everyday life. Feel free to call or email to set up an appointment.
