NaTanya Cooper
Therapist
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I know how important it is for you to find your voice, feel valued, and work with a therapist who understands your life struggles and history. I create a safe and judgment free space in which clients can feel heard and express themselves to the fullest. My clients will be supported by my approach which uses intentional goal setting to help clients begin a new healing journey. Finding your true self and taking your life back is possible. I will partner with you to make this a reality.
My experience includes working with adolescents, young adults, women, and men to help them realize their fullest potential in life. Additionally, I specialize in Marriage and Family Therapy to support couples and families looking to come together and heal. By working through life’s challenges such as childhood trauma, relational issues, and work-related stress, I believe that clients possess inner strength, knowledge, and motivation to transform.
Specializes in children, adolescents and adults.

Estefania Gonzalez
Therapist
Hi, I’m Estefania. If you are looking for a therapist who is culturally responsive, down to earth and focused on real change, I create a space where you can show up as you are. As a bilingual Latina immigrant, I bring a strong cultural awareness to my work and an understanding of the stress that comes from navigating multiple identities, family expectations and systems that were not built with you in mind. My work includes supporting people navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, life transitions and the emotional impact of immigration and cultural pressure. This is not just a place to vent. I provide a safe place to build insight and make changes that last while being challenged to look at patterns that are no longer serving you living your best life.
If things feel overwhelming, disconnected or stuck, therapy can be a place to slow down and start making sense of it all. We will focus on practical tools, emotional awareness, and communication skills you can actually use in your day to day life. I use evidence based approaches like CBT and TF-CBT, and I tailor our work to fit your goals and your reality. Clients often say they feel both supported and challenged in our work together. I meet you with compassion, but I am also honest and engaged. Whether you are working on your own healing, improving communication with your partner, or figuring out your next chapter, you do not have to do it alone.
Specializes in children, teens and adults.

ADHD and neurodivergent-affirming
Amal Khatib
Therapist
My goal as a Licensed Professional Counselor is to help my clients feel truly heard, find rest, and experience inner nourishment through mental wellness. I aim to walk alongside you—offering support as you recognize the strength you hold in your healing journey.
My clinical experience spans working with children, adolescents, and adults, with a particular focus on supporting those in the SWANA, Middle Eastern, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ communities.
I also work with people navigating autism, ADHD, and other neurodivergent experiences. Whether you’re moving through trauma, anxiety, grief, burnout, or just trying to make sense of your story, I’m here to meet you where you are.
With children, I often use play therapy, adapting my approach as we get to know each other and build trust. With older clients, therapy might look like exploring patterns, relationship dynamics, or the parts of you that feel stuck or unheard. No matter your age, our work is always collaborative and grounded in what feels safe and supportive to you.
My approach is rooted in psychodynamic and attachment-based theories and always shaped by trauma-informed care and cultural humility. I believe healing is about tending to the parts of you that need care and compassion. And that process can look different for everyone.
As a first-generation Palestinian-American, queer, and neurodivergent person, I know what it’s like to carry shame, to feel “othered,” or to wear a mask just to make it through the day. I’ve had to learn that healing doesn’t have to be about becoming someone else—it can be about softening into who you already are. It is possible to meet yourself with love and understanding.
I aim to create a peaceful, supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions without judgment. In this space, you will find comfort, rest, and the opportunity to develop gentle strategies that add to your life.
