Would you rather go the gyno than see a therapist? If you're the kind of person who cringes at the thought of therapy, I get it; therapy shouldn't feel like a lecture or a bad Tinder date. My approach is refreshingly different - it's all about candid conversations, practical strategies, and a good dose of humor. Laid back, coffee date with friends is the vibe during sessions. Maybe you are feeling burned out, anxious, or are losing your shit every day. I love working with women who need an outlet to navigate life’s BS. Working together, we will find way to reduce your stress and improve your quality of life. I specialize in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), which can deliver quick results. No traumatic details required! Together, we will develop a treatment plan that fits your lifestyle and preferences. I believe that therapy should be a positive and empowering experience, not something that feels clinical and sterile. I'm all about creating a safe and welcoming space for everyone, regardless of their background or beliefs. I embrace the misfits, the ones who've felt like square pegs in round holes, because you're not just welcome; you're my kind of people, and I'm here to help you thrive.

Come, let us work together through the troubling issues of life that you are facing. Issues that have left you with a sense of hopelessness, loneliness, confusion or anger.

Using a trauma-informed approach, I help clients to face a multitude of issues, including sexual abuse and trauma, relationship issues, family issues and women's issues.

I am Cory Russell, a licensed therapist. I have been working in the field for 9 years and enjoy working with people to find solutions to their concerns. There are times in which we are battling numerous disturbances in our life. The concerns you will raise from these disturbances can limit your ability to overcome daily tasks, goals, and other concerns that may come along in our lives. The therapeutic approach I use to address your disturbances is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I believe this approach can be very useful with the type of challenges you may raise, regardless of your cultural and/or religious background. Some of those challenges may include depression, anxiety, problems interacting with others, and trauma. As a short term goal, I like to help alleviate how overwhelming things are for you at that time.

A particular quote by Maya Angelou always resonated with me, “there is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you”, and has directed my style of counseling, which is very person-centered, compassionate and empathetic. I believe we all deserve a safe space to turn off our editor, speak freely, and release that which is burdening us. The goal is to empower clients by identifying internal strengths, overcoming excessive and often chronic feelings of guilt and shame, challenging negative beliefs and replacing those with a more positive self image. To find your true voice underneath the layers of previous conditioning. View 4 Photos I have worked with survivors of interpersonal trauma for over 14 years, along with those experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, stress-management issues, low self-esteem, body image issues, and childhood trauma. My approaches include Narrative therapy, EMDR, strength-based, yoga and mindfulness. We will work together to understand how you perceive the world, and which approaches may work best to facilitate healing. I consider it an honor and a privilege when a person trusts enough to share any part of their story and know personally the courage it takes. I am here to support you along that path, and help you learn to live life on your own terms.

When individuals become physically ill, they often work toward improving their health through self-care or visits to their doctor. However, many individuals neglect proper self-care by not addressing their mental health and wellness. We all experience difficult times that impact our ability to manage how we think, feel and behave. Our mental health impacts our physical health and consequently, when we are depressed or stressed, we tend to become ill easily, which in turn affects how we interact with others. I want to assist you in making your mind, body and spirit connection for your total wellness. I treat individuals, couples and families toward wellness and healthier mental and physical functioning. I specialize in a variety of areas including trauma therapy, couple/family therapy, parenting skills, stress management, child/adolescent behavioral issues, mood disorder including anxiety and depression, grief.

Hi! Welcome to Selah (see·luh), I'm Jasmine Funn, the owner and therapist of the agency. When I created Selah, I wanted to cultivate a space of authenticity, safety, and trust where women could show up and feel seen, heard, valued, and free of judgment. Selah has been defined in many ways spiritually and within music, however, the definition that spoke to me was, to pause and reflect. In life there are many moments when we simply need to pause and reflect, to hold space for ourselves and be honest about what we are feeling, experiencing, and here at Selah, you have the space to be your full authentic self, and do just that.

Finding a therapist is a deeply personal journey and it can be stressful and traumatizing to explain the very core of who you are to someone who may not “get it.” I aim to understand your perspective and embrace all aspects of you in a non-judgmental space. I recognize that every individual brings their own perception of their needs and the world around them, so I place substantial focus on identity, culture, and environment. I also believe that therapy is a great way to continue the conversation with ourselves and transition to a space where we are able to lovingly embrace all aspects of our lives. My approach is built upon compassion, respect, and collaboration. I employ strengths and empowerment perspectives, which are cornerstones of the social work profession, and utilize mindfulness practices, EMDR, narrative therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and other evidence-based practices to support your growth. Recognizing that each individual has unique needs and expectations, I aim to ensure we are the right "fit" to meet your needs. When you are ready, we can schedule a phone consultation to discuss your needs and whether we both agree working together will be a good match. If we both would like to move forward, we can then schedule your first appointment.
