You are not alone! The greatest lessons in my life have been watching individuals who have had the strength to experience their true capacity by choosing to enrich their personal lives. Sometimes I have watched this capacity by experiencing someone’s ability to embrace his or her unique talents and succeed beyond expectation. Many times it has been in an individual’s capacity to personally dig deeper during a “dark night.” Embracing my own unique strengths and digging deeper during the challenging periods of my life. These have directly impacted my passion in providing counseling to individuals, couples and groups. . My personal events and the events I have experienced throughout my life directly influence my ability to meet you where you are at presently. I have experienced life and its challenges. They can be overcome! Many times this painful journey leads a person to his/her greatest lesson, which is strength.

​I have worked with individuals, couples and groups for the past 25 years and I am excited to continue this journey with you. I am committed to the Independent Living Philosophy of service provision where “the person comes first and always knows what is best in his/her life”. It would be my pleasure to stand with you during your struggles and provide personalized therapy. Lean into fear and celebrate your unexpected successes!

I specialize in divorce recovery, relationship/ marriage counseling, recovering from narcissistic relationships & abuse, parental alienation & reunification, co-parenting & communication in high conflict divorces.

I know the thought of counseling can be overwhelming & intimidating. My style of counseling is warm, nonjudgmental & patient. Having been through struggles myself (including an eating disorder, divorce, narcissistic abuse) my passion is to journey with you through yours. Beauty always comes out of the ashes; let's find it!

AJ Lotz MA, LPCC

Hi there, thank you for landing on my page. I know that it can take courage to step out and ask for help when you’re experiencing different struggles in life. I would be honored to take the opportunity to hear your story and help you navigate areas you are struggling in. I want to partner with you and help you create tools you can use throughout your journey. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is based on mutual respect. My approach to therapy focuses on a person-centered view with a wide range of approaches to best serve each person.

I received my Master of Arts in Counseling and Psychological Services from Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota in 2015. For the past 12 years I have been working full time in healthcare and I’m looking forward to using that experience as I complete my counseling licensure.

I acknowledge that counseling can be an uncomfortable process that often involves exploration into potentially painful emotions. It is my goal to help you through this journey in a safe, empathetic, judgement-free, and accepting space.

Roxanna Villarreal MA, LPCC

Every day our life is shaped by the people we meet and the relationships we nurture, and the communities that we grow and live within. I want to offer a space where we can explore your story together at your own pace. A story that truly reflects who you are, and your story is a collaborative process where we will face life's challenges side by side. I have a deep commitment to creating a space where you will feel genuinely seen, heard, and valued just as you are.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (LPCC) with 8 years of experience working with children from the ages of 11-20 years old. In my years of working with kids I provided support in anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, grief, post-traumatic stress disorder, anger management, life transitions, identity challenges, and much more.

Some of the approaches that I utilize are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help individuals and families achieve emotional healing and personal growth.

I am dedicated to creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings, build coping skills, and work toward positive life changes.

Taylor Marie MA, LPCC

Welcome! I am so happy you're here. My name is Taylor Marie and I am an experienced therapist from New York. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and specialize in trauma-informed, person-centered care, integrating CBT, DBT, spiritual counseling, and existential approaches. I seek to help those feeling lost in life and those who are going through hard times. My passion lies in supporting clients through trauma recovery, particularly those healing from or leaving abusive relationships and individuals experiencing religious trauma.

I approach therapy from an existential perspective, helping clients find meaning and reclaim their sense of power during or after traumatic experiences. I believe that discovering purpose is essential to healing and personal growth. I have experience working with individuals, groups, teens, and adults, treating issues such as trauma, depression, anxiety, and feelings of being lost.

My therapeutic style is non-judgmental and centered on creating a safe, supportive space where clients can feel seen, heard, and valued. I deeply enjoy learning about my clients’ stories and strive to model respectful, empowering relationships. My special focus is on spiritual and existential counseling, with a niche in using personality assessments to foster self-awareness and self-compassion. Through my graduate thesis research, I discovered that personality-informed therapy enhances self-awareness, which in turn cultivates greater self-compassion. I am dedicated to being a strong advocate for my clients and ensuring they feel supported throughout their healing journey. I believe that everyone has a right to resources that will advocate for them through their toughest times. Working collaboratively, I can help you navigate challenges, cope with symptoms, find meaning, and regain a sense of purpose and motivation.
