Soleil Minnella, LMHC
Hi! my name is Soleil (So-Lay) - I have been a Therapist for many years and have worked with an array of populations. However, though I have worked with different diagnoses, my main "skill" is to just be human-what does this mean? WELL, I get how hard life can be sometimes because I am human too! I want to be that person that you can go to just to "talk" and be that person "in your corner" which many people do not have, especially in communities such as the LGBTQ+ which I specialize in. However, if you are searching for "deeper" therapy, I have experience with that as well, such as Psychoanalysis!

Allison Trusso-Lahey, LMHC
My approach is to offer guidance and support to help you figure what you need to work through life’s problems. In my experience, the most effective therapy includes both the processing of thoughts and feelings, and education on how to effectively manage issues that arise. Engaging in the therapeutic experience is a big step toward healing, balance, and peace. I have experience with anxiety, stress management, trauma, and postpartum support. Self-care skills, mindfulness techniques, relaxation skills, healthy sleep, and communication skills are examples of coping strategies I may offer to help the healing process.

These are uncertain times, and it is human nature to come together when we feel vulnerable and afraid. While you can't find comfort in a hug from a friend or neighbor right now, you are not alone. I'm here to help! I have been a social worker and psychotherapist since 2012. Before that I worked in transplant research, and before that I was an architect.

I look forward to chatting with you and supporting you in whatever way I can.
