Pauline Botchway

Associate Practitioner & Licensed Professional Counselor

I strongly believe that as human beings, we have the ability to change and transform our lives through choice. As there is not one single theory which can capture our experiences as human beings, I utilize an integrated approach which allows me to use some aspects of: Gestalt, Existential, Solution Focused as well as high utilization of Cognitive Behavioral therapy. I look forward to facilitating your transformation.

-Pauline

Jackie Van der Zwan

Associate Practitioner & Licensed Professional Counselor

I believe that all people possess the capacity to create meaningful changes in their lives and in the systems of which they are a part. I am continually astounded by the resiliency of the human spirit and am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of my clients' healing process.

Zoraya Henao 

Associate Practitioner & Licensed Professional Counselor 

"The complexities of the human experience have fascinated me since I was a young child. As an adolescent, I began to grapple with existential questions that did not have simple answers. My inquisitive nature took me to seek answers through the experiences and stories of others, which have- and continue to- shed a light into our innate power to create our reality. As a therapist, I get to experience first-hand the power of healing and growth through every one of my clients. I get the honor of accompanying each of them in their own and unique journey into self discovery and realization. I would be honored to be a part of your journey, and support you in finding your own truth, power, and balance."

-Zoraya

Ashlee Armstrong 

Associate Practitioner, Supervisor, & Licensed Professional Counselor 

My treatment approach is founded on a belief that people have a core self, distinct from what brings them to therapy, capable of overcoming complex, painful experiences. I help clients understand the core function of their concerns as attempts to solve present or past problems, rather than personal deficits. I partner with people to harness their inherent capacity to develop solutions. I bring a curiosity about how presenting concerns arise for each unique individual or family system without making assumptions. I value authenticity, humor, and ease within the therapeutic relationship. Areas of particular interest for me include: helping women to heal histories of trauma and supporting couples.

Paula J. Bloom N.C.C 
Associate Practitioner  & Professional Counselor Associate

It is impossible to go through life without adversity and pain. Often, these challenges can make us feel as if we have lost control of ourselves and the world around us. I believe that individuals have the power to gain positive control and self-direction of their own lives when given the necessary tools to do so.  I'm excited to meet you where you are and look forward to building a safe and supportive environment within which you can find healing.

-Paula

Liz Peoples 

Associate Practitioner & Licensed Professional Counselor

Therapy is a unique and vulnerable process meant to support those who seek it out, highlighting each of your strengths and inherent resiliency along the way. My therapeutic approach explores how thoughts, beliefs, and experiences work to influence you and impact how wanted changes are achieved. It is with this understanding, as well as through communication and collaboration that I work with clients to accomplish all the wanted outcomes of the therapeutic process. I look forward to starting this shared experience with you soon!

-Liz

Ashley Boonenberg M.A.
Associate Practitioner & Professional Counselor Associate

I believe healing is about connecting to and embracing who we really are and what we want from life, as well as assigning meaning to our experiences that help us to grow and feel cared for. Together, I help you discover and connect to what feels most authentic and true and for you. Ultimately, our work together is designed to culminate in your ability to thrive in life, feel safe and at peace in your own skin, and develop and maintain healthy relationships with loved ones who will travel beside you in this journey of life. I look forward to meeting you!

-Ashley

Nicholas Paszkiet
Associate Practitioner & LCSW

We have so many pressures and commitments from society that it becomes easy to forget about what is truly important and who we really are. Change happens when we're able to stay in the present moment, obtain clarity surrounding our beliefs about ourselves and the world, and stay mindful of what truly matters to us. I look forward to working side by side as a team to move through this invaluable change process.

-Nick

Rachel Iverson
Associate Practitioner & LPC Associate

I believe human beings are a complex combination of nature and nurture. While both shape us, I believe every single one of us is capable of altering the course of these principles when we are ready. The power of finding your inner peace resides within you and my role is to help you access that power. I value the importance of creating a safe space as we begin our work together, moving toward understanding of who you are in the entirety of your experiences. I will meet you where you are at and offer you tools and support to move from where you are at to where you want to be.
