Sarah Smith LMHC
Hi I’m Sarah, a therapist, clinical supervisor, and counselor educator. Working with me is pretty simple: you get to show up exactly as you are. Messy, tired, hopeful, confused, shut down, curious. I don’t expect you to perform or be “therapeutic.” I expect you to be human. I care about safety, choice, pacing, and collaboration. I’m not going to push you somewhere you’re not ready to go. I’m also not going to sit back and nod while you feel lost. We’ll move together, at a pace that feels doable for your nervous system.
My approach is integrative, but always person-centered. That means I pull from different modalities when they’re helpful, but your story, your identity, and your lived experiences guide the work. I’m not here to fix you. I’m here to sit with you, understand you, and help you make sense of your world in a way that feels grounding and honest.

Hello, I’m Lex! Your friendly neighborhood hope dealer.
Let’s be real, finding the right therapist can take time. Not every therapist is the right fit, and that’s part of the process. But when it does feel right, it creates a space where you can be fully yourself and explore even the hard parts of your story without judgment.
When you work with me, you will have a sense of who I am as a person, as well as a therapist. Healing is hard, but it doesn’t always have to feel heavy. I believe humor can be a powerful part of moving through tough moments. I also value continued learning and staying up to date on best practices. I’ll be the first to admit when I don’t know something, and the first to go searching for the answers.
My goal is simple: to walk alongside you as you get to know yourself. you are the expert of you, and I’m here to help you discover, understand, and embrace that.
Alexah Rivers LCSW
Hello, I’m Alexah, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Choosing to step into a therapy office can be a big decision, one that is made much more smooth if you connect and feel safe with your therapist. One of, if not the most, major determinants of success in therapy is if you feel understood by and connected to your therapist. I honestly feel so honored to sit with people in some of their most difficult and vulnerable moments.
As a social worker, I bring a perspective that looks beyond what is happening within you and considers the whole person and the world around you. Our relationships, family systems, environment, life experiences, culture, access to resources, and the larger systems we navigate can all shape how we experience ourselves and our mental health. I believe understanding that bigger picture is an important part of meaningful, individualized therapy.
My first goal is to build trust with you, establish safety in the therapy room, and identify what has and has not been helpful for you already. You are the expert in your own life and the author of your story. I’m here to walk alongside you as you make sense of your experiences, challenge the narratives that no longer serve you, and create space for new possibilities.
My hope is that together, we can create a space where you feel safe enough to be honest, curious enough to explore, and supported enough to move toward the life you want.
Yasmin Alkhattaf LCSW
Hi! I’m Yasmin.
I believe all humans desire some of the same things: to be seen, understood, and accepted. One of my goals as a therapist is to provide you with a space that is safe enough for you to let your guard down, take the mask off, and finally exist freely as you are.
I love to help people feel more connected to themselves and others through an attachment-focused, integrative approach. Together, we’ll explore the experiences that have shaped you, the relationships that have influenced you, and the ways the world around you continues to impact how you move through life.
You and I will work together to understand what you need and how we can best meet those needs. My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you don’t have to perform, minimize, or hold everything together- a place where you can feel deeply understood and begin to build a more connected relationship with yourself and with others.
