Jeffrey Williams, LCSW
Therapy should be interactive and dynamic and this is generated from focusing on a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach with a strong grounding in Strengths Perspective. A variety of issues to include Depression and Anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, men's issues, and personality disorders are areas in which I have particular experience in treating. The relationship between therapist and client should be one of trust and competence and it should promote open communication and honesty for change to occur. I look forward to working with you and helping you through this process.

Hello, I'm Jonathan Maurer. Over the past three years, I've had the privilege of working in a psychiatric hospital, supporting children and their parents through some of the most challenging experiences, including suicidal thoughts, psychosis, homicidal tendencies, and aggression. This journey has deepened my understanding and appreciation of the human experience and the unique stories each person brings to the table.

Dr. Yvonka De Ridder, LMFT
At this time, I am taking messaging only clients. Life is meant to be lived with joy and authenticity. Too often, we become shaped by society’s rules, cultural taboos, and the expectations of others—losing sight of who we truly are. Without realizing it, we adopt beliefs that limit our happiness and potential. In therapy, we’ll take the time to explore and challenge those patterns, helping you create a life that feels true to you. Change can happen faster than you think, and it’s never too late to start living fully—for yourself. I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way. - Dr. Yvonka
