Lucas Manrique, MA LAC

My goal is to create a therapeutic relationship that allows doors to open through connection and compassion. I am a client-centered therapist, meaning that you are the expert of your own experiences and as your therapist, I will join you in your journey by helping guide you through opportunities for personal growth and revelations.

Therapy is a great place to explore a variety of difficulties you may be experiencing. Many times it is difficult to move beyond or break old patterns. I provide a safe space in which you can explore these difficulties and gain a greater sense of self-awareness that will allow you to respond differently in situations where you have felt stuck or powerless.

Risa Waters, LSW

Pronouns: she/her

As your therapist, I will help you cope more effectively with your problems by challenging your routine thought processes, identifying typical response patterns, and learning effective ways of behaving. You can expect to discover new insights about yourself and feel empowered to make changes that align with your values. The eventual goal is for you to translate what you learn in therapy into daily living, and find healing amidst adversity.

My therapeutic approach is warm, engaging, respectful, and impactful towards positive change.

Lisa Fennelly, LMFT

Pronouns: she/her

I am passionate about helping people. Therapy can be a safe, eye-opening and wonderful experience to process what you want out of your life and how to become the person you would love to be!

My education is in Marriage and Family Therapy. I utilize play therapy, couples therapy, narrative therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and client centered therapy in my work. I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families.

My strength is acknowledging that everyone has their own way of processing complex emotions. I create an environment in my sessions to allow clients to have a voice and to tell their story in a non-judgmental approach.

Antonio Quirindongo, LPC

Pronouns: he/him

Life is a series of transitions and compromises. Sometimes we get too busy or overwhelmed, maybe we simply get caught up in the race, and we lose touch with our Self. This can result in emotional (hopelessness, anxiety), cognitive (decreased concentration and focus) or physical symptoms (fatigue, restlessness). Keeping a life in balance does not have to be 'work', but it does require some basic maintenance. How willing are you to reflect on your goals? Make adjustments to your thinking and behavior? How ready are you to actually live the life you say you want to live?

If you have ever felt as if you have 'lost your path', you are not alone. These are normal thoughts and feelings. To suppress them as if they were wrong or shameful, however, gives them a power they do not deserve. Take your power back.

I am bilingual in English and Spanish.

Linda Bender, LCSW

Pronouns: she/her

Do you feel stuck and powerless in your ability to manage anxiety or depression? Are you having issues in your relationships at home or at work and feeling detached, undervalued, or unsatisfied? Perhaps you feel alone in this experience, or unable to find a way to connect with the people in your life to get help.

Together we can find a way for you to meet life struggles with confidence and with a deeper understanding of yourself. I work with you to build the inner and outer resources you need to live a life that feels purposeful and with vitality.

I listen well. My intention is always to understand and grasp the whole story as it unfolds, realizing there is more to discover. I am an encourager and will encourage you to feel the emotional pain, release it (though this is not so easy) and discover new values that are in alignment with who you are, not who you think you should be.

Theresa Fuller, LAC

Pronouns: she/her

I view therapy as an opportunity for the exploration of oneself, one's relationships, and one's experiences in the world. I will provide you with an environment dedicated to increasing your understanding of yourself and your situation, and we will work together toward your development of new skills to accomplish your goals.

My work is guided by therapeutic techniques drawn from psychodynamic principles, attachment theory, relational theory, and cognitive behavioral therapy. In addition, I believe that our work must occur in a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust, respect, and safety.

I have experience with diverse cultural backgrounds facing a wide range of difficulties. Through patience, a non-judgmental attitude, and warmth, I will provide you with the opportunity to practice and develop new ways of approaching those issues that are causing you distress.

Felice Carpenter, LAMFT

Pronouns: she/her

I treat a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, marital, individual and parent-child issues. I graduated “with distinction” from Capella University’s Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy/Counseling program. I am also a Certified Aging in Place Specialist through the National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB).

I help people function and thrive within the systems in which they live - with family, friends, work and so on. People do not live in a vacuum, so it is very important to understand people in the context of their relationships.

I am also a Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator. In this role I work with parents to help them develop a relationship with their children in which everyone is respected, parents and children.

Sandra Burstyn, LSW

Pronouns: She/her

I provide a safe space for people to learn about themselves and develop the skills necessary to create a balanced life. At the same time, I have the privilege of learning about peoples struggles, strengths, and hopes.  I once heard someone say, “Your struggles don’t define you; they redefine you.”  My goal is to equip people with the tools they need to face their struggles and redefine themselves.

I am a Spanish-speaking immigrant; I am the first in my family to graduate from college and earn a Master’s degree. I am a true believer in therapy as a process to help people understand themselves and their situations. I feel honored to provide my clients with a safe space where they can talk about their struggles, redefine themselves, and create the life they want.
