Meet Aven Barbosa, APC, NCC 🤍

Aven works with adults and couples navigating relationship challenges, women’s issues, blended family dynamics, and life transitions, including the emotional and physical shifts that can come with perimenopause.

Her approach is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based, helping clients feel heard while building practical tools for connection, healing, and growth. Aven integrates modalities like EFT and CBT to support clients in deepening self-awareness, improving communication, and creating healthier relational patterns.

Whether you are feeling disconnected in your relationships, adjusting to a new season of life, or simply looking for a supportive space to process and grow, therapy can help.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and we’re taking a moment to celebrate both the importance of mental health care and the people behind the work.

This month, our team spent time continuing our education through ethics training while also celebrating clinicians reaching important milestones on their journeys toward licensure.

Being a therapist involves ongoing learning, reflection, growth, and commitment, not only for ourselves, but for the clients and communities we serve every day. We’re grateful to do this work together 🤍

Looking for connection in a way that actually feels comfortable for you? 🎲

Our Neurodivergent Tabletop Group is a supportive, therapist-led space where adults can connect through storytelling, roleplay, and collaborative gameplay, without pressure to “perform” socially.

This group is designed to help you:
• Build confidence in social interactions
• Strengthen executive functioning skills
• Practice emotional regulation in real time
• Explore identity in a neurodivergent-affirming space

No prior gaming experience needed, just come as you are.

🗓 Thursdays | 7:00–8:30 PM
💻 Virtual
💲 $35/session
👩‍⚕️ Led by Sara Demlow, Psychotherapy Intern

Meet Ashley Williamson, LMSW 🤍

Ashley works with teens and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, identity exploration, chronic illness, neurodivergence, and LGBTQIA+ related concerns. Her approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in helping clients feel truly seen while building practical tools for healing and growth.

She integrates EMDR, CBT, IFS, Brainspotting, DBT, and other trauma-informed approaches to support clients in understanding themselves more deeply and creating lasting change.

Ashley believes healing happens in the presence of safety, connection, and compassion, not perfection.

“Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness.” – Gabor Maté

Fun fact: Ashley loves cats 🐈✨

Postpartum is more than a season, it’s a full mind, body, and identity shift.

There can be joy and gratitude… and also exhaustion, grief, overwhelm, anxiety, and loneliness. Both can be true.

Healing after birth is not linear, and there is no “right” way to move through it. Slowing down, asking for help, and giving yourself compassion are part of the process, not signs of failure.

You were never meant to do this alone. Support matters. Therapy can be a space to feel grounded, understood, and cared for while you navigate this new chapter.

If you’re in your postpartum season, let this be your reminder: you are doing enough, and you deserve support too. 📧[email protected]

You can be doing everything “right” and still not feel okay.

Showing up.
Being productive.
Holding it together for everyone else.

And underneath…
feeling disconnected, exhausted, or alone.

If this resonates, nothing is wrong with you.
Your nervous system might be overwhelmed.
Your emotional needs might be unmet.
Your system might be asking for support, not more pressure.

You don’t have to keep carrying this by yourself.

Reach out for a consultation call by phone or email. Support is here when you’re ready.
