Licensed psychotherapist, MS LMFT
Frances Thomaslee
Founder and Clinical Director
Are you struggling with issues related to trauma, grief, anxiety or major life changes? There comes a time when we need help from a professional and I would love to help you on your journey towards healing and self-discovery.
My goal is to seek an understanding of issues affecting your life's journey and work towards a path of self-empowerment and healing from real life situations, emotional pain, or mental health concerns.
When you are ready......Let's talk about it. Then….
…Grab your favorite coffee or tea sit back in a cozy spot, in the comfort of your own home, and log in for your personalized therapy session. Sometimes making small intentional changes toward your goals can bring positive life-altering results.

Whitnee Nicley
When the mind is clear and the nervous system is regulated, we receive our inheritance of spirit flowing abundantly in our lives through our own unique experience. I’ll explain…When the mind has worked its hardest and still something feels unresolved or unmet, this doesn’t mean something is wrong or broken. Often, it is a communication from the nervous system. A signal that something moving through the body is asking to be witnessed, met, and integrated, not as a problem to be solved, but as a part of your wholeness, and to deepen the connection you already have with yourself. This makes way for abundance and expansion.
For example, sometimes it shows up as something carried for so long it feels like background noise. A tension in the chest, a mild hum of anxiety, a pattern in relationships that keeps repeating. The mind names it, analyzes it, tries to resolve it, and still, it stays. This is often where the body is waiting to be included in the conversation.
My work sits where ancient healing arts meet modern therapeutic practice. Through somatic therapy, energy-centered healing, and cognitive restructuring, we build a personalized toolkit to bring your mind, body, and spirit into safe harmonic relationship. If you feel seen in these words, you already are. I’d be honored to walk the journey with you.
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MS LCSW
Beatrice Villegas
I am a client-centered and strength-based therapist with specialized training in ARC (Attachment, Self-Regulation, and Competency), motivational interviewing, trauma-informed care, CBT, and autism support. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, families, LGBTQ and BIPOC individuals, veterans, and those seeking faith-based or spiritual counseling. I support clients dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, grief, life transitions, and career challenges. My approach integrates CBT, DBT, solution-focused, and narrative therapies, and I collaborate closely with clients to set meaningful goals and identify the most appropriate path forward. I became a therapist because I value providing a safe, non-judgmental space where people can explore their feelings and experiences. Outside of work, I enjoy participating in theater and dancing salsa.

Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, MS LAMFT
Shawn Adams
Feeling stuck, in your relationships, in your faith, or maybe just in yourself? You’re not alone. I’m Shawn, a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, and I work with individuals, couples, and families who are trying to make sense of life’s messier moments. My approach is honest, compassionate, and focused on understanding the patterns and connections that shape how you relate to others, and to yourself.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, grief, relationship tension, or questions about faith, I offer a space where you don’t have to explain or defend who you are. I welcome people from all backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ folks, people of faith, and anyone feeling disconnected or overwhelmed.
Therapy with me isn’t about quick fixes, it’s about real conversation, curiosity, and figuring things out together. If something’s been holding you back from the peace or clarity you’ve been looking for, let’s take a closer look, at your pace, in your words.
