Hello there and welcome! You have already begun a courageous step in your journey by seeking out counseling services. My name is Sarah and I am passionate to help individuals find their inner strengths as well as find ways to protect their inner peace. I have experience in working with a wide variety of ages ranging from eighteen to seventy-five. I have learned over the years as a training professional that mental health has no bias aganist: age, sex, gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, and religion. Therefore, I am devoted to helping individuals create a path of hope, success, love, and growth.

My speciality is marriage, couples, and family counseling. When asked by others why I specifically chose this direction, I simply stated 'because in one way or another we all yearn for a relationship.' We seek relationships with others whether it be through friendship, romance, co-workers, family, within ourselves, or just a smile from a stranger walking down the street. I have found that if I can help facilitate mending a broken relationship, ending one peacefully, or working on strengthening the relationship in oneself, that is the greatest reward of all. I also have experience working with clients with anxiety, trauma, depression, psychosis, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

My therapeutic approach consists of Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person Centered Therapy, Mindfulness, Family Systems, and Rapid Resolution Therapy. It is also important to build a trusting therapeutic relationship that consists of empathy, a non-judgemental atmosphere, and a supportive space. By utilizing several different techniques it allows the capacity for each client to have their own individual needs met.

My background in the mental health field consists of obtaining my associates of arts in psychology from Citrus College, where I then went to Cal State Long Beach to obtain my Bachelors. From there I further pursued my masters of marriage, couples, and family counseling from Walden University. Since obtaining my masters, I have experience in private practice as well as a mental health hospital.

I look forward to helping you find your inner strengths, peace, and balance.

Hello there. I am Katherine.

In therapy, we will work to identify unhelpful behavioral patterns and negative thoughts that keep us stuck.

I am a lifelong learner and am always finding ways to self educate and walk my own road of self-discovery. It is my belief that as we each heal and empower ourselves, in turn, we heal, grow, and evolve collectively.   It takes much courage and strength to walk the road of healing and self-discovery. 

It would be an honor to walk this journey alongside you, as you walk into your power and strength, and actualize the goals you have set forth ahead on your path. 

I believe that we grow through our experiences in life. Our challenges and the struggles we are faced with give us strength, endurance, character, and most importantly, build our state of resiliency.

Welcome! My name is Julia Curran. My approach to therapy is collaborative and focuses on insight, empowerment, and making meaningful changes in life. I offer support around anxiety, depression, grief and loss, managing chronic illness, navigating life transitions, sexuality and gender, traumatic experiences, improving relationships, and contemporary existential crises. I am particularly interested in mindfulness, attachment, and neurobiological perspectives in therapy. I am bilingual in English and French and offer sessions in both languages.

We are all still emerging from the difficult past several years marked by uncertainty and grief, and we could all benefit from some extra support. My goal is to help you lower your stress threshold, honor pain, find meaning, and build resiliency. I believe integrating emotional work into self-care is an important way to not only care for ourselves, but also for our loved ones and the greater collective. In a world that can feel increasingly isolating and hard, I hope to help you make space for connection and softness. 

I came to my role as a therapist after working as an arts educator and artist for many years. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation of the complexity and diversity of the human experience, as well as a belief in the power of vulnerability and connection. I believe we all possess inherent wisdom, creativity, and strengths, and that we need each other to survive.

I am a Master of Social Work Intern at The Center of Resiliency and will complete my MSW degree from Missouri State University in August 2023. I earned my Master of Fine Arts in Printmaking from Texas A&M University in Corpus Christi, TX, and a Bachelor of Arts in Printmaking from Truman State University in Kirksville, MO. My hometown is St. Louis, MO, and I have had opportunities to live in Tennessee, Texas, and France. I am currently based in Los Angeles, CA, where, if I’m not working with clients or students, you can find me spending time with family and friends, creating in my art studio, hiking in nature, or taking dance classes. I look forward to working together!

“Our capacity to destroy one another is matched by our capacity to heal one another.” 

- Bessel van der Kolk, The Body Keeps The Score

I believe that we as human beings naturally strive to heal and survive. Like how a wound, uninterrupted, scabs over and becomes new skin, so does the human mind and spirit work to repair itself in the face of trauma. As a therapist, I seek to evoke and clarify desire for change that already exists within us all. 

I take a person-centered, trauma-informed approach rooted in empowerment and mindfulness, utilizing Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Problem-Solving Therapy, and Expressive Art Therapy. While able to assist those from all walks of life in their journey of mental health, I specialize in working with adolescents and adults in the LGBTQIA2-S+ community and creative community. 

A little about me: I am currently attending the University of Denver to earn my MSW with a concentration in Mental Health and Trauma. I live in the Los Angeles area and am a performing artist who loves all things strange and beautiful. In my free time, I enjoy singing at the local tavern or bird watching. 

Life can be difficult and unpredictable. My goal is to provide a positive, safe, and supportive environment to explore the ups, downs, and unpredictable circumstances in life. My goal is to bring healing to people experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, stress, self-esteem, and life transitions by establishing a meaningful therapeutic relationship. 

My passion includes working with teens, adults, couples, and families to eliminate stress, anxiety, depression, worry, fear, and relationship struggles that show up in our everyday lives. I believe that life is not something to walk through alone. My theoretical approaches include strengths-based, cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and person-centered.

About me: I received my Bachelor of Science in Middle Grades Education from Georgia Southern University and am currently pursuing my Master of Social Work from the University of Kentucky. I am a clinical MSW intern working towards a clinical certificate in social work practice.

It would be an honor and privilege to walk alongside you and connect with you on your journey to insight and healing. 

“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.” - Maya Angelou

I believe in practicing a holistic approach and treating the whole person when comes to counseling. Our mental health is affected by a combination of physical, psychological, and environmental experiences. Addressing all aspects of a client’s life, allows me to personalize treatment specific to the client’s needs rather than focusing on only treating symptoms of a deeper issue. Ultimately, I work to create a positive, warm, supportive, and constructive environment where clients feel free to say whatever is on their minds without fear of judgment. I strive to create an atmosphere in which clients feel accepted, learned, protected, and understood. 

My areas of focus are anxiety, depression, grief & loss, and trauma. I specialize in working with adolescents, teens, and adults of all ages and CBT, DBT, and strengths-based therapy. Currently, I am working toward certification to provide EDMR. 

A little bit about my background is I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Arizona State University. I am now pursuing my Master of Social Work degree from the same university specializing in Health and Behavioral Health. In my free time, I like reading, painting, watching sports, and cooking.
