Aundria

(She/Her)

The past is set but the future is still being written. Unfortunately, these past events have a way of creating false narratives about who we are and what we are capable of. Through self-discovery and persona growth, you can choose for yourself what you want and start living a life you look forward to living. Working together you will be able to identify false narratives and with support be empowered to rewrite them. Together we can discover what truly matters to you and how you can achieve these goals.

Briana

(She/Her)

My name is Briana Thomas and I am a Clinical Mental Health Counseling student at Adams State University. My approach to counseling is centered on fostering authentic connections with my clients. I believe in identifying individual strengths to collaboratively work towards personal goals in a supportive environment. In our journey together, I’m committed to creating a safe, judgment-free space where you can freely express yourself. I love incorporating creative elements like drawing, writing, and music as it is a fantastic way to express thoughts and emotions that may be difficult at times to speak out loud.

I have a deep love for my dogs (5 to be exact), music, being in nature, and painting.

Jennelle

(She/They)

I truly enjoy listening to clients share their stories. I believe you are the expert on your life. I am here to listen compassionately and work collaboratively with you towards accomplishing your therapeutic goals. I am excited to reflect back to you the many strengths you already possess and to support you in developing skills that can make life easier and more fulfilling. One major hope I have for all of my clients is that they will learn to love and accept every part of themselves more fully.

In our work together it may be valuable for us to discuss the larger cultural systems we are living in. I believe much of human suffering is due to systems of oppression and the stress that comes from trying to survive in our competitive capitalist society. It can be helpful to acknowledge how these systems impact us and discuss both how we can care for ourselves while living within these systems and how we can find empowerment through challenging them.

In my free time, I can be found hanging out with my partner and friends, enjoying a variety of joyful movement hobbies, or cozy at home with my black cat.

Keri

(She/Her)

The counseling space is meant to be where you feel seen and heard without judgment—a place for compassionate discovery and expression of your authentic self. We are more than just our thoughts, feelings, body, or soul; all these aspects are interconnected and influence each other.

If you feel disconnected from yourself, others, or your purpose, I invite you to a brave space for discovery and recovery. Here, you can reclaim your authentic qualities, express yourself confidently, and let go of thoughts, beliefs, and experiences that do not serve you. This space is for deepening your understanding of what motivates you, what you long for, and what qualities you seek in relationships.

With understanding comes the opportunity to create new perspectives and experiences. While life is filled with challenges, we can find new ways to navigate them, leading to increased peace, empowerment, and joy. If this is your journey, I would love to support you as you move toward your desired life. Through compassion and curiosity, we will explore what holds you back and what will help you achieve your goals using evidence-based interventions.

Nancy

(She/Her)

Therapy can be a painful yet healing process. At times, you might find yourself experiencing difficult emotions in a session. I believe that acknowledging these painful emotions is an essential step toward living a happier life. I want to help you get to the point where you don’t feel like you need counseling anymore. You are the expert in your own life, and I am here to help you make sense of the chaos. Therapy doesn’t have to be all crying and reliving trauma--we can also laugh at the messy parts of being a human being right now. You’ve been through a lot already, and I know you are ready to take on this challenge.

Taneisha

(She/Her)

It is my utmost aspiration to meet each wonderfully unique client with the support and genuineness that is so essential to an effective therapeutic alliance. I believe that we all have the strength to overcome and endure but, at times, need an open heart and ear to bear witness to our trials and understand our emotions. My approach to therapy is providing a safe, nonjudgmental space where each client can work alongside me to develop effective skills and strategies that will result in positive life changes.

I was born here in Washington and love the outdoors of the PNW. I love travel, hiking and good food. In my spare time I enjoy painting, cooking, caring for my son, plants, and two cats. I chose counseling as my profession from inspiration as a client of therapy myself. I was able to learn self-love and radical acceptance throughout the years of support that was given to me by my own counselors. I aspire to help my clients obtain such gifts as well.
