Yaw Karikari, LISW
If anxiety or depression has made ordinary days feel heavy, you don't have to keep pushing through alone. I'm Yaw, and for over 12 years I've helped teens, adults, and families move from stuck to capable. My style is direct and collaborative — we'll get specific about what's not working and build tools you can use between sessions, drawing on CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused approaches as needed. Before opening my own practice, I worked in inpatient psychiatry and intensive outpatient care at a children's hospital, so I don't rattle easily. You'll leave sessions with something concrete to try.

Brenda Canada, LPCC-S
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor -SUPV. I work with clients from teenagers through adults, with issues such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, anger, trauma, life changes, relationship issues, family and marriage issues. My approach leans toward solution focused therapy, as I believe that unless we find solutions to the stressful issues we deal with daily, we cannot better our mental health, as we are going back into the same situations that cause the stress. I encourage my clients to find hope for the future. Without hope, we cannot continue forward and make progress in our life.

Jessica Vargas, LISW
Hi, I’m Jessica, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy should feel like a place where you can be completely yourself—without judgment or pressure. I work with teens & adults navigating stress, relationships, life transitions, self-doubt, depression, & feeling stuck. My approach is compassionate, practical, & collaborative. Rather than telling you what you *should* do, I’ll help you understand your patterns, work through challenges, & find tools that fit your life. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to have everything figured out. You just need to take the first step.
