We’re passionate about helping you grow and heal.
Meet Allen Choi
Allen is currently accepting new adults and couple clients for times at/before 2pm.
Being a grown adult but a kid at heart, Allen (he/him) brings an irreverent presence to teen, family, and adult clients alike. Allen sees it as his job to help clients get "unstuck" from anxiety, depression & life challenges. Allen integrates evidence-based approaches from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), Co-Active Life Coaching, and other robust-sounding acronyms. What really matters is that you discover the methods that work for you, at your own pace, and with a non-judgmental therapist whom you trust.

Meet Andrea Nishimi
Andie is currently accepting new teen clients for Tuesday evening slots.
Andrea goes by the nickname "Andie" and uses she/her pronouns. She truly believes every client brings the capacity to heal to the therapy space, and that her job is to help her clients unlock it. Andie specializes in trauma therapy for children and teens, helping clients shed undesirable behaviors, negative thoughts, or unwanted emotions following life's significant stessors.
In her work, Andie draws heavily from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and narrative therapy. Most importantly, Andie's style is collaborative, creative, and curious, and she regularly solicits client feedback regarding the therapeutic process.
