LPC-Associate, under supervision of Rebecca Lincoln, LPC-S

There can be a lot of uncertainty about what exactly therapy is, who it’s for, or how it can help.

My approach is relational, person-centered, non-judgmental, and gentle.

Suzy Mellon

My mission is to help people elicit their authentic selves, the authentic you that is powerful, strong, and confident. I believe that therapy is a way of life not a quick fix to a problem.

Carla Noto-Vencill

LMFT-S

Ariell Caballero

LPC

Ariell is an eclectic therapist that combines emotion-focused strategies with psychotherapeutic evidence-based approaches.

Finding out these aspects of a person’s life, naming them, and working through them are components of her counseling process.
