Hi, I’m Jelissa Deese
LCMHCA
I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, emotional regulation, self-esteem, and social-emotional development. I also support individuals experiencing financial stress by helping them build healthier habits and more confident decision-making patterns.
My approach centers on:
Anxiety, stress, and overwhelm as ongoing experiences that impact daily functioning
Building practical skills for emotional regulation, self-awareness, and coping
Supporting youth in understanding emotions, strengthening social skills, and developing a sense of self
Helping families better understand emotional and behavioral needs and respond with intention
Identifying patterns in thoughts and behaviors, including how past experiences shape current challenges
Strengthening relationships through healthy boundaries, communication, and conflict navigation
Addressing financial stress through improved habits and decision-making
I believe healing happens in connection. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, supported, and equipped to move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and stability.

You may find yourself feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or the pressure of managing daily responsibilities, unsure how to slow things down or regain a sense of control. You might notice strong emotional reactions, difficulty staying regulated, or patterns in your thoughts and behaviors that feel hard to change. For some, this shows up in challenges with self-esteem, communication, or relationships at home, school, or work. If you’re a parent, you may feel concerned about your child’s emotions or behavior and want to better understand how to support them. You may also be navigating financial stress and trying to make more confident, stable decisions. Therapy can be a space to build practical tools, increase awareness, and feel more grounded, supported, and capable in handling life’s challenges.
I specialize in helping people feel safe in their bodies, relationships, and identities after chronic stress, trauma, and life disruption, especially when culture, family roles, migration, or systemic pressures have shaped their pain.
My approach centers on:
Trauma and chronic stress as ongoing conditions, not just isolated events
Nervous system overwhelm and somatic stress responses
Identity shaped by family roles, culture, migration, and responsibility
Relationship patterns rooted in survival, attachment, and power
Life transitions that disrupt safety, including immigration stress, parenting shifts, relationship changes, and legal or system involvement
Hi, I’m Indiana Torres
LCSW, FSW
You may feel stuck in survival mode, tense in your body, overwhelmed by stress, or repeating relationship patterns that leave you exhausted. Your experiences may be shaped by family roles, culture, migration, or systems that placed responsibility on you early or for too long. Life transitions, parenting challenges, or legal and immigration stress may have made it hard to feel grounded or safe. Therapy can support you in understanding these patterns, calming your nervous system, and reconnecting with yourself in a way that feels steady and sustainable.

Hi, I’m Jacquetta Harris
LCSWA
You may be noticing that emotions feel hard to manage — for yourself, your child, or your family. Your child might struggle with friendships, self-confidence, or expressing feelings. A teen in your life may feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or changes that come with growing up. As a young adult or adult, you might feel uncertain about the future, stuck in old patterns, or unsure how to build confidence and resilience. As a family, communication may feel strained or unbalanced, leaving everyone feeling disconnected or unheard. Therapy offers a supportive space to slow things down, understand what’s getting in the way, and build the skills needed to move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and connection.
A Thoughtful Place to Begin
I specialize in supporting individuals and families as they navigate anxiety, stress, grief, and life transitions, helping them feel heard, supported, and empowered during challenging seasons. My work is grounded in compassion and real-life understanding, with a focus on honoring each person’s story and lived experience.
My approach centers on:
Anxiety, stress, and depression as experiences shaped by life circumstances, not personal failure
Grief and loss in all forms, including changes, endings, and unmet expectations
Life transitions that impact emotional well-being, identity, and family dynamics
Supporting youth and families through developmental, relational, and emotional challenges
Narrative therapy to help clients reconnect with their strengths, reshape unhelpful stories, and move forward with clarity and empowerment
Guided by both professional training and lived experience, I lead with kindness, authenticity, and respect. I believe every story deserves to be heard with dignity, and therapy should be a space where your voice is valued and your growth is supported.
Hi, I’m Kenya Beckford

.You may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or stress, carrying sadness that feels hard to explain, or moving through a life transition that has left you unsure of yourself. You might be grieving a loss, adjusting to changes in your family, or supporting a child who is struggling emotionally. At times, it may feel like your story has been shaped by hardship rather than choice, or that your voice hasn’t been fully heard. Therapy can be a space to slow down, make sense of your experiences, reconnect with your strengths, and feel supported as you move forward with greater clarity, resilience, and confidence.
