Lindsay Trinidad, LCSWA
Reaching out for help can be a difficult first step. New things can be hard and sometimes a little scary. Maybe you have been battling your own mental health for years. Or maybe something recently has happened and you just aren’t sure what to do next. You just know that you want something to change.
Time and personal experience has been my greatest teacher for understanding and deepening my empathy in ways that never would have happened without it. I utilize evidenced based interventions, including CBT, EMDR, DBT mindfulness skills, and solution-focused therapy. I am an active listener who can assist you with validation, re-framing, boundaries and goal-setting. My job is to provide you with a safe space for reflection and processing with gentle guidance. I am honored by every client who takes the time in our busy world to show up for themselves.
I am an Associate Clinical Licensed Social Worker specializing in neurodiversity in adults, anxiety, depression, compassion fatigue, and LGBTQIA and perinatal challenges. Wherever you are in your journey, I will join you in exploring the possibilities.

Julia Downey, MHCA
“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.” – C.S. Lewis
If you’ve found yourself here, you’ve already taken the first step in making a change! Even if it may not seem monumental now, the foundation of change is often built upon small, incremental shifts, usually within ourselves. I believe your mental health is invaluable, and deserves as much consideration and care as your physical needs. When you begin to prioritize your mental health, you will often find that other aspects of your life seem less overwhelming or hopeless.
As a person-centered counselor, I offer my clients unconditional acceptance, empathetic understanding, and genuineness on my part. I aim to provide a safe, supportive, and accepting environment where clients can freely express themselves, without fear of judgment. Depending on your specific goals, we can decide to incorporate research-based counseling techniques that increase mindfulness, acceptance, and motivation, or reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
Approaches that guide my counseling style include mindfulness therapy, which works to increase self-awareness and reduce stress and anxiety, Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). MI is useful for exploring and increasing one’s motivation for change, or reducing fear or uncertainty in regard to change. CBT techniques can bring to light negative or unhelpful thoughts and reframe them into positive thoughts that promote mental well-being.
Come as you are, and we will collaborate in a way that promotes your unique strengths, personal growth, and self-acceptance.

Tiffany Munoz, LCMHC
Life is full of challenges. Sometimes we can handle those challenges on our own, and sometimes we need outside support—someone who can actively listen to us without judgment and with an open heart and mind. We need someone with an outside perspective who can offer insight into what makes us tick. As an Army veteran, a military spouse, and a parent, I understand the challenges that life can bring. It takes great courage to seek support, and I am honored to provide that support.
Being open, honest, and respectful are the main pillars of my approach. We must maintain trust and acceptance to develop real personal growth. The theories that I draw upon are evidence-based and proven to make a difference in therapy. I lean towards a trauma-based approach because what we experience throughout our lives impacts how we function. I am EMDR basic trained and working towards certification. I favor techniques that involve mindfulness, self-reflection, and promote self-awareness.
I have a deep love and appreciation for all people and their differences. My goal is to always ensure that you feel safe, heard, and valued. Counseling isn't always easy, but with the right support, you can become the best version of yourself.

I have completed basic training in Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).

Tracey Sims, CMHC Intern
My passion is growth and self-improvement, and being able to help others with this endeavor is what fills my cup. Counseling provides me with the opportunity to carry out in a professional capacity, what I feel is my personal calling. I lean towards a cognitive-behavioral perspective, focusing on the interrelatedness of our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and aim to equip clients with the self-awareness and skills that enable them to function in more adaptive ways. I also utilize a person-centered approach based on empathy, authenticity, and the unconditional acceptance and valuing of clients.
My goal is to honor my clients as people, and to provide a space where they feel completely seen and heard. I aim to empower through self-exploration, increased self-awareness, and by providing insight, psychoeducation, and assistance with skill-development. I enjoy the art of helping clients make sense of confusing and complicated areas in their life, and I believe it takes a collaborative effort to do so. Regardless of what you are going through as an individual or as a couple, I believe that together we can find a way forward towards a happier, healthier and more fulfilling life.

Aryn Wang, MFT Intern
My goal is to help you become the most authentic version of yourself and identify the patterns that keep you stuck so that we can uproot the beliefs that no longer serve you. As a Marriage and Family Therapy graduate student at Liberty University, I am passionate about family systems and looking at generational patterns that impact you. In relation, I utilize a blend of structural therapy, narrative therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy to map out your familial roots as well as the stories you understand to be true about your life. I hold unconditional positive regard for my clients and aim to meet each one with compassion, empathy, and genuine care. As a military spouse and a mom, I can relate to the everyday struggles of young women and family life. My undergraduate degree is in fine arts with a focus in glass blowing and I currently enjoy photography

Barry Bowden, LMFT
I am a retired Army chaplain who served in the military 34 years.
I believe life is all about relationships with those we love and intersect with--it can be the best of times or the worst of times. Consequently, we need a safe place to pause, assess our situations, and consider options on how to move forward in life.
I understand the pressures and stresses of life and believe that we get some things right, but there are other areas in which we need someone who will help--by listening to us, understanding our situation, and supporting us going forward. That is what I strive to be.

Take your life back! I can help you create goals to conquer your issues.
Change is hard and doesn't happen overnight, but it's possible. You just need someone to believe in you until that someone IS you. Gain new perspectives on things by strategically and logically breaking down your issues into little pieces that you are better able to deal with.
Your situation is unique and no one belongs in a box. Only you know what you've been through and you are the expert on your circumstances.
Together, we will increase awareness and create the treatment plan that works just for you.
