Maria Mercado

LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Sometimes when people are feeling stuck or unable to break unhelpful patterns in their lives, there is unprocessed trauma from the past that is driving their present emotions and choices. I work in a way that addresses both what is happening in the present while helping people to work through their past using evidenced based techniques.

George Hunihan

LMSW

One of the most extreme stressors in our lives is the fear of change and the ability to say “I need help”. I overcame that fear one day and it had a dramatic impact on my life; my path changed into the positive direction of helping others. There is no greater feeling than engaging with you, developing a positive, trusting, fluid relationship and working in a collaborative manner toward a healthy and fulfilling life, regardless of what area that challenge lies.

Jacqueline Stevens

LMSW
Licensed Master Social Worker

As a woman who is a wife, mom, therapist, and entrepreneur, I personally understand the unsaid cultural and societal expectations for women to display strength and keep their emotions intact. It's exhausting and prevents many from seeking therapeutic services. That is why I've made it my mission to do away with the 'Strong Woman' narrative. While I'm sure you can "balance it all," the gift is in learning that you don't have to. While no one else can heal or do your inner work for you, that doesn't mean you can, should, or need to do it alone. Let’s work together.
