You don't have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many of our clients come in feeling "not bad enough" and discover that what they were carrying was heavier than they realized. Therapy isn't reserved for rock-bottom moments. It's for anyone who wants to understand themselves better, manage stress more effectively, or simply stop feeling stuck. If you've been thinking about it, that's usually reason enough to try it.

What kinds of issues do your therapists specialize in? Our therapists work with adults and young adults navigating:

• Anxiety, overthinking, and chronic worry

• Low self-esteem and self-worth

• People-pleasing and difficulty setting boundaries

• Relationship patterns and attachment struggles

• Depression and low motivation

• Stress and burnout

• Life transitions - career shifts, relationship changes, identity questions

We especially enjoy working with clients who are new to therapy and those who have spent a long time putting others' needs ahead of their own.

Both Alecia and Maddy offer consultations so you can get a feel for their style before committing. In general:

• Alecia Denillo, LPC specializes in anxiety, self-esteem, boundaries, people-pleasing, and relationship patterns and especially enjoys working with young adults and those navigating deeper identity work.

• Maddy, LAPC is a wonderful fit for clients managing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, or life changes and brings a warm, connection-first approach. She works under the supervision of Alecia Denillo, LPC.

The therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors in therapy working well. Pay attention to how you feel after your first one or two sessions: Do you feel heard and respected? Does the space feel safe and nonjudgmental? Are you comfortable being honest? If yes, you're likely in the right place. If something feels off, it's okay to say so. A good therapist welcomes that conversation.

We hear this often, and we take it seriously. Not every therapist is the right fit for every person. Our approach is warm, collaborative, and genuinely client-centered meaning we move at your pace, and your comfort always matters. If something isn't working, we want to know. Therapy should feel supportive, not like something you're enduring.

It's simple:

1. Reach out via the contact form or by phone/email

2. We'll respond with next steps and answer any initial questions

3. We'll schedule a free consultation call to make sure it's a good fit

4. You'll complete brief intake forms and we'll schedule your first session

From there, we begin at whatever pace feels right for you.

The first session is mostly about getting to know each other. We'll talk about what brought you in, what you're hoping for, and a bit about your history and current life. There's no pressure to share more than you're comfortable with. Think of it as a conversation, not an interview.

It depends on your goals and needs. Some clients come for a focused period of 8–12 sessions around a specific goal. Others benefit from longer-term support as they work through deeper patterns. We'll talk about this together and build a plan that fits your life. Therapy is collaborative - you're always part of that conversation.

Yes. Research consistently supports that virtual therapy is just as effective as in-person for most concerns, including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and relationship issues. Many clients actually find it easier to open up when they're in a comfortable, familiar environment.
