“My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each client's unique needs and goals. I believe healing happens when people feel understood, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives. Drawing from evidence-based therapies such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure Therapy, trauma-informed approaches, and Gottman Couples Therapy, I help clients build emotional resilience, strengthen relationships, and develop effective coping strategies. I also integrate mindfulness, Yoga Nidra, meditation, and body-based practices when appropriate to support whole-person healing. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can gain insight, develop practical skills, and move toward a life that feels more balanced, authentic, and fulfilling.”

“I give very relational, best friend vibes. I use humor when appropriate and I swear with my clients. Clients usually appreciate my directness and pointing out to them how their actions are not getting them where they actually want to be.”

“Imari implements a personable approach, often incorporating humor and direct therapeutic style to support growth and well being. Imari meets clients where they are at, creating an individualized treatment plan by incorporating several therapeutic modalities (CBT, DBT, psychodynamic, somatic skills, CPT, etc.) to foster growth and develop rapport.”

“My approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and grounded in both evidence and compassion. Sessions with me feel calm, structured, and conversational — a space where you can speak openly without feeling judged or rushed. I take time to understand the full picture of your experiences, patterns, and goals before making recommendations. I integrate supportive talk therapy and strengths-based, positive strategies, while also providing clear, personalized medication management when appropriate.”

“I appreciate the need to clear your way of the debris of abuse and to embrace your right to thrive. Sometimes, having someone bear witness to your story helps you feel heard, feel seen, and finally, feel believed. I will acknowledge your painful truth and help you appreciate your strengths as you move toward a fulfilled life. I understand the fear of speaking out your truth and I will stand with you as you share a story that is difficult to tell. Accepting you as without blame for your struggle, I will acknowledge honor your survival. I operate from a Cognitive-Behavioral theoretical perspective. I also incorporate teachings and practices from the following perspectives: Bibliotherapy, Feminist Therapy, Lesbian-Affirmative Therapy, Multiculturally-Sensitive Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Reality Therapy, Supportive Counseling, Trauma-Informed Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy.”

“At Better Minds, our approach to therapy is collaborative, personalized, and grounded in evidence-based care. We believe therapy should feel like a space where you can be fully human—not judged or rushed. Our therapists integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD to help you understand patterns, build coping skills, and create lasting change. We focus on helping you break cycles of anxiety, overthinking, and avoidance while reconnecting with your values and sense of self. Whether you're navigating OCD, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, or relationship stress, our goal is to help you feel more grounded and confident. As a virtual, LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy practice, we provide inclusive, accessible care tailored to your needs.”

“My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and client-centered. I draw from Person-Centered Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, which means I meet clients where they are, focus on their strengths, and work alongside them to identify practical steps toward meaningful change. I believe clients are the experts on their own lives, and my role is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where they feel heard, respected, and accepted. Together, we explore current concerns, build on what is already working, and develop realistic strategies that align with each client’s values, goals, and lived experiences.”

“We go slower than you're used to. Using somatic therapy and IFS (Internal Family Systems), we get curious about the parts of you that learned early to perform, anticipate, and say "I'm fine." They protected you. The work is helping them rest. This isn't a quick fix, and you don't need the whole story ready on day one. We start with what brought you in.”

“I am dedicated in creating a safe place for individuals and families to understand themselves better and explore these life challenges. I've been privileged to work with individuals from all walks of life. My approach was developed with a deep respect & appreciation for the skills & effort that each client brings to this relationship. I use a team approach in providing support & guidance, viewing you as an equal partner in effective problem-solving. I strive to build an authentic connection with my patients & help you meet your goals.”

“My approach is warm, collaborative, trauma-informed, and deeply experiential. I integrate EMDR, Brainspotting, Advanced Integrative Therapy (AIT), Psychodrama, parts work, somatic approaches, EFT couples therapy, and expressive arts and music therapy techniques to help clients move beyond insight alone and create meaningful change at the nervous system level. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we explore the deeper patterns, attachment wounds, protective strategies, and survival responses that may be keeping you stuck. I work gently and respectfully, understanding that healing happens best when clients feel emotionally safe, seen, and empowered. Therapy with me is often active, creative, relational, and deeply attuned, helping clients reconnect with themselves, their emotions, their bodies, and the relationships that matter most.”

“My approach to the work is one that tries to stay grounded in easy to understand and implement pragmatism. In my mind, you are the boss, and I work for you. We don't need to try and force you into doing what doesn't feel like working just because I say so. Beyond that, my general belief is that you are the subject matter expert about you, and my job is to use my knowledge and skills to help you be the best version of you.”
