Our Team

  • Marina Aldana, LPC-MHPS (temp), NCC

    Therapy is a valuable way to explore your personal narrative and gain an understanding of how past experiences of harm affect your present- day life. Although growth can be painful, I am dedicated to imparting empathy, understanding, and genuine positive regard as I come alongside you through the therapeutic process. Our work together can help you to overcome personal and relational struggles, heal past traumas, strengthen your sense of security, foster deeper connections, and incite personal growth. With a compassionate and personalized approach, I engage attachment-based and trauma-informed care. I offer a safe space for you to explore and process your thoughts, feelings, experiences, and the stories you’ve come to believe about yourself, and then transform those stories so that you can experience life more fully.

    I hold a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am trained in developmental and relational trauma though the Healing Our Core Issues Institute. My goal is to support you in cultivating a life of wellbeing and happiness so that you can begin to thrive.

  • Amber Heggie, LPC-MHSP (temp), NCC

    Taking the first step toward seeking support can feel daunting, but I'm here to offer you a compassionate and non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and concerns. I'm committed to providing personalized support that meets you where you are. Whether you're facing difficulties related to relationships, trauma, stress, or anything else, I'm here to support you.

    I take an eclectic therapeutic approach which integrates various techniques and customizes our sessions based on your needs. Guided by the principles of person-centered therapy, you can expect a nurturing and empathetic approach that places great emphasis on your autonomy and self-exploration. Offering treatments like EMDR, an evolutionary advancement in psychotherapy that addresses trauma and facilitates healing, significantly boosts the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions.

    If you're ready to take the next step toward healing and growth, I invite you to reach out to me. Together, we can transform your story so that you learn to love and embrace every version of yourself.

  • Gracie Shockley, Pre-Licensed Professional Counselor, MSW Candidate

    Currently pursuing my Master's in Clinical Social Work, I’ve immersed myself in the latest therapeutic techniques and evidence-based practices. My approach is not just about addressing challenges but celebrating your unique journey and harnessing your inherent strengths. There is no one-size-fits-all method when it comes to therapy. I’m here to walk alongside you, offering support and guidance tailored to your individual needs. I believe in creating a warm, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, valued, and empowered.

    Outside of my professional life, I’m an avid bookworm and iced latte enjoyer. I also love to hike and be in nature, as it makes me feel grounded!

    I’m looking forward to meeting you and supporting you as you navigate through life’s ups and downs. Let’s work together to build a brighter, more fulfilling future!
