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.

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.
