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.

Donna Brunetti, LPCC
I believe people are trying to find balance and meaning in their lives. Some want to stop thinking or feeling or remembering painful things. Others just find it hard to figure out the next step in the journey. Regardless of the issues or difficulties we may be facing, we are all trying to succeed with this human journey. I work to help folks identify strengths and abilities. Starting with the tools they have and then filling the "tool box" with new skills and strategies, ways to evaluate their thinking,ways to say what they really mean, and how to learn what it is they truly feel so they can express what that is.
