I am Elizabeth Solano, LMHC, with over 10 years of experience in mental health. I've had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients—from young children and adolescents to adults—navigating depression, anxiety, substance use, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and life transitions. I've also worked closely with the LGBTQIA+ community. I offer sessions in both English and Spanish.

I believe everyone has strengths, and I make it a point to highlight yours throughout our work together. I'll take time to get to know you as an individual—your interests, your passions, and what brought you to therapy in the first place. I'm here to listen without judgment, learn from you, and work collaboratively toward the goals that matter most to you.

We all need support sometimes—a listening ear, a fresh perspective, or help sorting through our thoughts. I know how hard it is to take that first step, but I assure you it's worth it. You are not alone, and I'm here when you're ready.

My name is Katrina and I am a Trauma Recovery Therapist. I have a background in post-traumatic stress, trauma recovery, behavioral change, and family dynamics. If you are someone who can identify your desire to take steps—no matter their size—toward change, or if you're simply looking for answers about why you feel the way you do regarding life's challenges, we could be a good fit. I have worked with survivors of sexual trauma and domestic violence, and I have experience with those who have experienced incarceration. I am empathetic, optimistic, realistic, and challenge-driven. My goal in therapy is to help you realize your goals.

An open and honest dynamic is important to me. I'm not intimidated by emotions and I'm willing to challenge unhelpful beliefs. Stress, depression, anxiety, compulsion, and trauma are treatable conditions given the right space, time, and resources. When you make time to care for yourself, you're taking a step that deserves recognition—it is a leap forward.

I commend you on considering a change in your life. I encourage you to ask questions and find answers that you are comfortable with. Let's sit down together and make a plan for the next part of your great adventure- leave everything on the table, whatever led you this far, listen to that and take the next step. 

I am Owen Guthrie, a Registered Clinical Social Worker Intern, with 7 years of experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. With a background in both criminal justice and mental health, I understand how difficult it can feel to break free from cycles that no longer serve you. I partner with clients who feel weighed down but are ready for change, helping them build healthier coping skills, strengthen relationships, and uncover their inner resilience.

I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Grand Canyon University. My approach draws from my experience in criminal justice and mental health to support individuals in breaking unhealthy cycles, building coping skills, and discovering their resilience to create lasting, meaningful change.

I know how overwhelming life’s challenges can feel, and I believe no one should face them alone. I provide a safe and supportive space where you can feel heard and valued. I invite you to take the first step toward healing and growth by reaching out today—you don’t have to navigate this journey by yourself.

I'm Toni, a nurse practitioner board-certified in psychiatric mental health and adult medicine. I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care using a collaborative approach tailored to each individual's needs. I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, sleep difficulties, and other mental health challenges. Clients seek care to better understand their symptoms, improve coping skills, enhance focus, restore balance, and achieve greater emotional well-being. 

My goal is to help clients overcome barriers, build resilience, and achieve emotional balance. I provide personalized treatment plans that may include medication management and practical strategies to improve coping skills. Whether beginning your mental health journey or seeking a new approach, I offer support tailored to your unique needs.

Taking the first step toward better mental health can be difficult, but you don't have to do it alone. I provide a supportive, compassionate space where you feel heard and valued. I invite you to schedule an appointment and begin your journey toward greater balance and well-being.
