Elena Acosta, MSW, LCSW (Bilingual Therapist)
"From a young age, I felt drawn to understanding people on a deeper level. Even as a child, I noticed that I could connect with others regardless of their background or experiences. That natural curiosity wondering why people feel the way they do and what shapes their lives is what ultimately led me to social work. I’ve always believed that we can only understand a person by understanding their whole world, and this perspective continues to guide my work today. In the therapy room, I bring a balance of directness and warmth. I’m honest and straightforward when it helps someone [...]
Teresa Christopher, MS, QMHP-T (Qualified Mental Health Professional Trainee)
I believe that healing is most possible when we are met with compassion, respect, and a safe space to explore ourselves. My own journey with yoga and integrative practices began during my military service, and since then I have seen how deeply the mind, body, and spirit can work together to restore balance and resilience. In my service, I meet each person where they are, honoring their lived experience and empowering them to explore new possibilities for growth; we co-create together. All sessions offer a judgment-free refuge, unbound from expectations, and centered around the belief in nurturing our innate wholeness [...]

Theodore Roosevelt once said, “Far and away, the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.” My father worked hard all his life and instilled that work ethic in me. During my career in the military, that work ethic served me well, but in my journey through life, I have discovered that one of the most important works worth doing is on ourselves. By doing that work, we can find peace and joy in life; we can show up as the best version of ourselves and enrich the lives of those [...]

Life is a journey filled with transitions, challenges, and moments of profound growth. Along this path, we may face grief, loss, relationship struggles, health concerns, or emotional hurdles such as depression and anxiety.

As your therapist, my goal is to create an authentic and collaborative relationship grounded in trust and understanding. I bring over 20 years of experience to our work together, helping individuals of all ages—adults, children, and teens—address life’s challenges and find meaningful [...]

Michelle Tjader, MA, LPC
I believe that one of the most meaningful endeavors in life is the work we do on ourselves. It’s a journey toward understanding, healing, and growth that can lead to peace, joy, and a deeper sense of who we truly are. Drawing from my own life experiences and my work with many clients facing a wide range of mental health challenges, I’ve seen that hope endures even in tough times. Change may take time, but perseverance, openness to growth, and a willingness to explore new possibilities can truly make a difference. As a therapist, my goal is to walk alongside [...]

More importantly, know and understand when it’s time for a change in that story. I have been working in human services for over 19 years with an objective of helping everyday people get their own needs met. I have a keen interest in helping you discover what’s holding you back and what it’s going to take to move you to the next level- OF YOU. My main approach is to help you stop living for [...]
