Mariena Jones, LCSW
When life feels overwhelming, hard to navigate, or burdensome, therapy can offer a consistent and safe environment of support. I believe in integrating all aspects of the individual into the therapeutic experience to view challenges through a holistic approach. You are a full spectrum person, and by incorporating the body, spirit, and mind in therapy, we can work together to develop an improved quality of life and achieve your goals. As your therapist it is important to me to develop a collaborative and trusting relationship with you, serving as the foundation for growth. I believe in therapy as a support to feel confident and free.
My experience includes working with teens and adults in a trauma-informed, evidence-based practice setting. Through a psychodynamic lens, I have experience working with clients to treat depression, anxiety, mood and personality disorders, PTSD, OCD, sexual trauma, grief and loss, couples conflicts, and addiction.
Finding the right fit in a therapist can be a challenge. It is important to me that you feel comfortable & well-received in therapy. Through empathic listening & compassion, I hope to build a working relationship rooted in understanding & fostering an intentional connection to your highest self.

I strongly believe in treating you as a whole person and taking a comprehensive approach to help you achieve your personal treatment goals.

I'm deeply committed to holistic nursing, and I pursued a year-long training program that resulted in my Board Certification through the American Holistic Nurses Association. During this training, I acquired various techniques, such as aromatherapy, HeartMath techniques, and relaxation methods. I also completed my End of Life Doula certification.
Throughout my clinical experience, I have dedicated myself to working extensively with individuals who have faced trauma and significant life-changing events. I feel at ease when assisting individuals from various social, economic, cultural, and racial backgrounds throughout their entire lifespan, from children to adults.

Alexa Hamid, LLMSW
Life can be challenging and finding the right therapist, someone you truly connect with, can make all the difference. My approach is both warm and insightful: I offer empathy and understanding, but I also gently challenge you to grow beyond where you are today. Together, we’ll create a safe, supportive space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences so you can deepen your self-awareness and begin to heal and thrive. Taking that first step toward therapy can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to do it alone. Let’s take that step together.
I take a psychodynamic approach, meaning we’ll look not only at what’s happening right now, but also at how your past experiences may be shaping your present. Together, we’ll work toward greater self-understanding and lasting change. I work with adults, teens, and couples facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and low self-esteem. My style is warm, thoughtful, and collaborative, I listen deeply, but I also help you identify new insights and strategies for growth.
Reaching out for help can be difficult, but it’s also one of the most meaningful decisions you can make. I’ll be with you every step of the way. If you’re ready to take that first step, I’d be honored to walk beside you.

Are you struggling to find purpose and connection in life? It can be easy to go through the motions of life without taking a chance to check in with yourself. Your mental and emotional health is just as important as your physical health.
I am here to help you refocus on what matters. I focus on my client's individual needs to build support and a system of care around them that is specifically tailored to them.
I would love to meet you so we can explore whether we are a good fit for treatment together.

Elizabeth Kjar, LLMSW
I believe that meaningful change begins with feeling deeply understood. My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in curiosity, creating a space where individuals and families can safely explore not only the challenges they face today, but also the experiences, relationships, and patterns that have shaped them over time.
With more than twenty years of experience in the social services field, I have worked with diverse populations across child welfare, school-based mental health, and victim advocacy. I have extensive experience supporting individuals who have experienced domestic violence, sexual abuse, human trafficking, and other forms of interpersonal trauma. My work is informed by a trauma-sensitive, relational perspective that recognizes the lasting impact these experiences can have on identity, emotional well-being, and relationships.
While I integrate a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches to meet each client’s unique needs, I believe therapy is most effective when it fosters both practical coping and deeper self-understanding. Together, we will explore recurring patterns, strengthen emotional resilience, and develop greater insight into the ways past experiences continue to influence the present. My goal is to help clients cultivate lasting change, healthier relationships, and a stronger connection with their authentic selves.
Above all, I strive to provide care that is person-centered, culturally responsive, and rooted in genuine human connection. I view the therapeutic relationship as one of collaboration, where healing occurs through exploration, trust, and the shared process of discovering new ways of understanding yourself and your life.
