Octavia Macklin, LMFT
Therapy asks us to be vulnerable, but it can also be a space to explore, reflect, and grow at your own pace. My goal is to make that process feel welcoming and supportive. I work with clients navigating life changes, relationship challenges, identity, purpose, and mental health concerns. My approach is direct, experiential, humanistic, and grounded in authenticity and compassion. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can feel seen,heard and understood.

Danielle Ritenour, LMFT
As a therapist I believe transformation is a lifelong skill that can be a terrifying, thrilling and an empowering journey. I try my best to provide a safe environment for my clients and to join them where they are at; in their own unique process of bettering themselves. When an individual is allowed to speak freely, it promotes acceptance, understanding one’s own values/ beliefs and allows mind, body and spiritual growth. It is an honor to be able to provide an encouraging and positive therapeutic experience while accompanying client/clients on their journey.
