I'm Sandra Jordan, Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20+ years of experience. The greatest lesson I've learned is that the most beautiful person you can be is yourself. Day to day we're faced with traditional/societal "norms" and told if you step outside this box you've somehow fallen short. Many face depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, destructive perfectionism, and more just trying to "measure up". I became a therapist to help people push through to better mental health and wellness. My approach to the client-therapist relationship is to provide a safe space. I encourage healthy displays of emotions. I believe it's okay to laugh or cry - it's okay to dream big and admit failures. I give room for you to speak your truth without fear of judgement. What to expect from Day 1 - we'll speak about steps you can take to immediately begin redefining your vision of yourself, your life and any stumbling blocks that may be before you. We'll make an initial plan on how we can work together to break negative cycles and tear down barriers that prevent you from thriving as your authentic self.

Hello! I started my group practice, Water & Stone, to offer people a better chance to find the right therapist for them. I have been working for over 10 years to bring mindfulness and contemplative psychotherapy to those interested in gaining insight and living a full life. I can’t wait to hear how we can support you in making it through a difficult time or finding new meaning in your daily life. 

As a clinician, I strive to be intelligent and warm, but also direct. I won't hide behind an anonymous exterior. My sessions are frequently punctuated by wit, insight and spontaneity. I try to be as authentic as possible while prioritizing your well-being and enhancing your capacity to change.

I specialize in treating anxiety and depression in young adults, helping them to cultivate self-esteem, clarity. My approach combines art therapy and EMDR through a holistic and trauma-informed lens.

I have over 20 years of experience helping people achieved their greatest potential when it comes to their mental health. I believe that nothing happens until the time is right and the time for you is now to allow me to aide in your personal healing journey. You deserve to be heard in a safe and non-judgmental environment where you are able to work through your pain. I am here to empower, listen and inspire you to work towards your greatest potential. Know that there is strength, faith and courage in your struggle. "You Matter" Reach out to me and let's take this journey together. Hope doesn't always come from within you. Sometimes, it lands in the palm of a helping hand "me" Melvinik

During this time of uncertainty, I would like to help you feel more grounded and connected. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship that is collaborative, open, warm and caring. Together we work towards creating a supportive space where you can better understand yourself and create more authentic experiences in your life. I work with a wide variety of concerns, from intimate relationships to friendships to work/career matters. One of my practice specializations is helping adults from diverse communities process complex trauma and abusive childhood experiences.

Welcome! My name is Kenia Rijo and I am the Founder of Mind, Body And You Therapeutic Services. I have over a decade of experience in clinical settings working with individuals navigating life transitions, identity and anxiety. I am fluent in Spanish which allows for one to be able to serve a large range of clients in their healing journey. In my work I believe it is important to work together to help you develop coping skills, reduce anxiety and stress, cultivate self-love and compassion, and find peace using a strengths-based and person-centered approach. But most importantly our relationship will center on building a better and healthier you as whole- in mind, body, and spirit. It can feel like life is happening too fast and you may feel like you need air to breathe. Together we can work on setting manageable and realistic goals. In the process of wanting more for yourself, you may miss all the small victories that are just as important. Let’s work together to allow you the space to become your authentic self.
