New Provider Spotlight! Julia Carr, PCA

“I work with clients to address issues related to anxiety, depression, hopelessness, self-esteem, stress, identity, trauma, ADHD, school-related issues, parenting, grief, aging, relationship/social issues, and life transitions. I operate from a family systems, trauma, and culturally- informed lens and welcome individuals of all backgrounds and identities.

My approach in counseling is warm, strengths-based, person-centered, and deeply collaborative. My aim is to create a comfortable and trusting space for those that I work with to explore behavioral and emotional issues, deepen self-compassion and awareness, and develop effective coping skills. I believe that we all possess great strengths within us to grow and heal and that people of all ages deserve compassionate mental health care and to live a joyful and meaningful life.”

New Blog Post! Social Media and Mental Health: Finding Balance in a Connected World

Social media has transformed the way we communicate, learn, and stay informed. While it offers many benefits, constant connection can also impact mental health in ways we don’t always recognize.

At BrightSpire Health, we encourage individuals to be mindful of how social media affects their emotional well-being.

🌿 Normalizing self-care is important because we’re reframing basic personal maintenance and mental health preservation from a selfish luxury into a fundamental human necessity. 🌿

🌿 When society normalizes taking breaks, setting boundaries, and resting, it reduces toxic stress, prevents chronic burnout, and helps people show up more fully for their work and communities. 🌿

Our therapists can help you put more self-care into practice, schedule at https://www.brightspirehealth.com/new-clients Link in Bio

New Blog Post! Why Do I Keep Having the Same Argument? Understanding Relationship Patterns

Many couples find themselves having the same disagreement over and over again. The topic may change, but the emotional experience feels familiar: feeling unheard, becoming defensive, shutting down, or walking away frustrated. Repeated conflict can leave partners wondering, “Why can’t we just solve this?” Often, the answer is that relationships are shaped by patterns—not just individual moments.

At BrightSpire Health, we help couples understand the cycles that keep them stuck and build healthier ways of connecting.

New Provider Spotlight! Virginia “Ginna” Kayser, CSWA

“In my eight years of experience working with children and youth, I’ve found we all intrinsically hold the tools we need to heal ourselves. As your child’s therapist, I would be a humble witness and guide as they discover, nurture, and apply those tools. I believe in the healing power of play, relationships, community, and presence with the world around us.

I provide individual therapy services to children and youth ages 4-14, but I consider myself to be a support for your whole family. As a child therapist, I have extensive practice working directly with parents to create more secure attachments and more loving relationships with their children. I use a strengths-based perspective that allows parents to recognize what they’re doing well and build on their existing skills in order to best support their children.”

New Blog Post! When Self-Care Isn’t Working: What You Actually Need Instead

You’ve tried the routines—taking breaks, getting outside, prioritizing rest. But despite your efforts, you still feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck. When self-care stops working, it’s often a sign that what you need goes beyond surface-level solutions.

At BrightSpire Health, we help clients move past the pressure to “fix” themselves and instead understand what their mind and body are actually asking for.

New Provider Spotlight! Jazmin Otegui, LPC

“I am a mental health counselor who is passionate about creating a supportive, collaborative space where clients feel seen, respected, and understood. I believe people already hold strengths within themselves, and I work with clients to help them recognize and build on those strengths in meaningful ways.

I am especially interested in working with youth and young adults who may feel overlooked or in need of a consistent, supportive adult in their lives. I strive to be someone who listens without judgment and helps clients feel safe showing up as they are. My approach is person-centered and strengths-based, and I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and solution-focused strategies. I aim to support clients in understanding their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while also helping them build practical tools for daily life.”
