Adolescents 14+ and Adults

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 25 years of providing therapeutic counseling to adolescents, adults and families. I have experience treating depression, anxiety, grief and trauma. Throughout my tenure, I have gained extensive experience providing counseling services to individuals who find themselves struggling with various life circumstances. My approach to counseling is collaborative, goal directed, and person centered.

I believe success in coping occurs by finding the authenticity in relationships with ourselves and others. I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of individuals’ journeys of self-exploration.  I am committed to assisting clients in fostering their well-being for lasting change.

Adolescents 14+ and Adults
Hi, I’m Rachel Dixon, MHC-P. I hold a bachelor’s in psychology and a master’s in clinical mental health counseling from Niagara University. My journey into this work is rooted in a deep belief in the human capacity to heal and the transformative power of authentic relationships, especially when met with empathy, curiosity, and care.
My approach is person-centered, meaning I see you as the expert of your own experience. Together, we build a collaborative and authentic relationship where you feel truly seen, understood, and supported. I also integrate parts work, drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), to help you explore and understand the different parts of yourself. These parts often hold pain, fear, or protective roles, and we’ll work to understand them with curiosity, patience, and compassion.
​I work with adults navigating trauma, CPTSD, PTSD, depression, identity-related challenges, and relational or attachment difficulties. I’m committed to creating an inclusive, affirming space for people of all backgrounds, with awareness of how systems of oppression shape our lived experiences.
In therapy, I show up as a genuine person. I strive to break down power imbalances, honor your story, and support your inner world with care and curiosity. I offer both face-to-face and telehealth sessions.

Richard Jimenez, LMHC, CASAC
​Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Credentialed Alcohol and Substance User Counselor
Adult Mental Health and Substance Use Counseling

Richard's approach to substance abuse counseling integrates the interconnected aspects of mental health and substance use, along with the neuroscience underlying addiction. He explores biological factors, brain development, and the concepts of free will, determinism, and existentialism to understand and influence current behavior. Richard delves into the roles of dopamine, reward and reinforcement mechanisms, and motivation. His method also involves examining the history of impulsivity and risk-taking behavior and addressing sensation-seeking tendencies.

Treatment with Richard involves personalized therapy sessions where clients engage in cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. He incorporates psychoeducation about the brain's reward systems and develops individualized coping strategies to manage cravings and reduce harmful behaviors. Richard emphasizes that recovery is a personal journey requiring multiple levels of treatment, including understanding how addiction occurs, exploring the biology of addiction as a disease, and addressing behavior patterns that lead to relapse. He focuses on modifying maladaptive coping strategies, correcting cognitive distortions, managing challenging emotions, setting life goals, and working towards self-autonomy. Additionally, he advocates for breaking down goals into realistic timelines, typically spanning the next 3-5 years, to provide clear and achievable milestones for individuals on their path to recovery.
