Adriana Lara
Welcome, my name is Adriana. I am here to help you as you take the first step towards healing and relief. Helping others has been my passion for as long as I can remember. Everyone deserves to be heard no matter their situation. We all need some guidance from and support from time to time. I hope to work together to help you in your journey. I have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience as a counselor. I have been in the field for about 12 years. I graduated with a Masters of Science degree from the University of Vermont in 2014. In my time there I worked with teens and young adults with substance use and/or mental health difficulties. My program focused on teaching us the skills we would need to provide effective therapy while also being mindful of diversity. Diversity not only focused on race, religion, ethnicity, gender identity, and sexual orientation, but the diverse experiences each individual has in their own life. I learned to try and understand a person holistically to better understand how their experience influences their life in all facets. In the last 11 years I have worked with children, teens, families, and adults in rural and urban communities. I have worked with individuals presenting with symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress. My style as a counselor is eclectic. What I focus on first is building a strong rapport. Getting to know you to build trust is essential in creating a space that allows you to be vulnerable. It can difficult to open up to a stranger so I take the time to build that trust. My approach is mostly focused in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT allows one to look at how their thought patterns impact what they feel and do. Identifying negative thoughts and replacing them with positive, more realistic thoughts can help change your perspective on a situation thus allowing for positive change. I am excited to take the next step in this journey with you. I look forward to working together to find the relief and healing you are looking for.

Jacqueline Oshiver
Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals... compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared community."(Brene Brown) I truly believe that this philosophy represents my framework for conducting effective and rewarding therapy. Providing a supportive and safe space for the process of healing to occur is of the utmost importance to me as a psychotherapist. My goal is to help my clients integrate their experiences in order to feel more at peace in their lives. I foster a non-judgmental and compassionate therapeutic environment to assist clients to focus on issues such as grief/loss, couple relationships, work stress, addictions, depression, anxiety, and trauma. My approach to psychotherapy is client-centered and honors the relationship between the psychological and the sacred. I utilize various methods including cognitive-behavioral strategies, psychodynamics, mind/body connections through mindfulness practices and imagery, motivational interviewing and couple/family dynamics. As an LMFT, LCSW and LCADC, my approaches to therapy reflect over 46 years of working with clients, as well as university teaching, and post-graduate training. My work is informed as well by my own life cycle experiences with relationships, balancing personal life and work, as well as with life's inevitable setbacks and losses. I work collaboratively with my clients, helping you to function optimally "out there." Together we will work towards restoring your sense of well-being, and revitalizing your journey forward.

If you're feeling stuck, finding yourself repeating the same patterns, or you've been in therapy before but aren't quite sure how to apply what you've learned in everyday life, you're not alone. I offer direct, compassionate therapy that helps turn insight into meaningful, real-world change. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, perfectionism, people-pleasing, low self-esteem, or the lasting impact of difficult experiences, therapy can help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence. I work best with people who are motivated for change and ready to move beyond awareness alone. Together, we'll identify what's keeping you stuck, challenge patterns that no longer serve you, and develop practical tools you can use outside of sessions to create lasting change. I especially enjoy working with high achievers, perfectionists, and individuals who are ready to translate insight into action. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota, Virginia, and New York with over 10 years of experience working with children, teens, and adults from diverse backgrounds. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Dartmouth College and my Master of Arts in Counseling from Bethel University. My training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), and Experiential Play Therapy. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and collaborative. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space while remaining honest, direct, and solution-focused. I use a holistic, integrative approach that blends evidence-based therapies with mindfulness and mind-body techniques to support the whole person. One of my primary modalities is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based approach that helps you identify and change unhelpful thought patterns, emotional responses, and behaviors. The goal is not simply to feel better during therapy sessions, but to build the skills and confidence needed to continue supporting yourself long after therapy has ended. My style tends to be more direct and solution-oriented than that of some therapists. I ask thought-provoking questions, provide honest feedback, challenge unhelpful patterns, and encourage you to actively engage in the therapeutic process. Therapy works best when we work together, and I believe meaningful change happens when insight is paired with action. Clients often seek my support for: • Anxiety and stress management • Depression and mood concerns • Childhood trauma and adverse experiences • Life transitions and adjustment difficulties • Low self-esteem and self-worth concerns • Codependency and people-pleasing patterns • Attachment and relationship challenges • Anger management • Grief and loss • Sleep difficulties Treatment is always tailored to your unique goals, values, and circumstances—there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Please note that I do not treat ADHD, eating disorders, or personality disorders. If you're motivated for change, willing to do the work, and looking for a therapist who will both support and challenge you, we may be a good fit!

Shonny Capodilupo
Great to meet you! I want you to know that when you come into therapy with me, you don’t have to pretend, minimize, or hold everything together. You get to show up exactly as you are — overwhelmed, hopeful, exhausted, confused, motivated, or anything in between. We take it from there together. My favorite part of this work has always been sitting with people one‐on‐one. That’s where real connection and real healing happen. I genuinely enjoy getting to know who you are, what you’ve been carrying, and what you’re hoping might feel different. My style is warm, steady, and honest. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and help you understand the experiences and patterns that are shaping your life. I’m also practical — I like to offer tools and strategies you can actually use in your day‐to‐day life, not just in the therapy room. I work with people dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, major transitions, and substance use concerns. But most importantly, I work with people who feel stuck or weighed down and aren’t sure how to move forward. Everyone deserves a space where they can breathe and be supported. Something I tell clients often is this: I don’t want you to just feel better — I want you to be well. Feeling better can be temporary. Being well means building insight, healing, and lasting change. My goal is simple: to help you feel safe, understood, and supported as you find your footing and move toward what’s healthier and more meaningful for you. My approach to therapy When you work with me, you get someone who shows up fully — present, steady, honest, and genuinely invested in your well‐being. I’m not here to give you quick fixes or surface‐level advice. I’m here to help you understand yourself more deeply, heal what’s been ignored or pushed aside, and build a life that feels more grounded and true to who you are. My style is warm, direct, and deeply human. I listen for the things underneath your words — the patterns, the pain points, the strengths you might not yet see. I’ll challenge you gently, support you consistently, and help you make sense of what’s been getting in the way. And I’ll give you practical tools you can actually use outside the therapy room. I specialize in working with clients who are navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, and substance use concerns. I understand how past experiences shape your emotions and your relationships — and we work together to shift those patterns, not just cope with them. If you’re looking for a therapist who is engaged, thoughtful, and committed to your growth — someone who sees your potential even when you’re struggling to see it yourself — I’d be honored to work with you. You won’t be doing this alone. I’ll be right there with you, every step of the way, as you move toward a life that feels calmer, clearer, and more like your own. What you can expect from me During your first session, we’ll talk about what brings you in, what’s been weighing on you, and what you’d like to see change. I’ll ask thoughtful questions to help us build a shared understanding and to get a clear picture of what support will be most helpful for you. I also use screening tools and assessments in early sessions. These aren’t tests you can “pass” or “fail” — they’re simply tools that help us better understand your symptoms, experiences, and needs so we can create a plan that actually fits you. By the end of our first session, we’ll have: A sense of what’s been happening in your life; a shared understanding of your goals and a beginning plan for how we’ll work together My intention is that you leave feeling a little more grounded, a little more understood, and reassured that you don’t have to do this alone. I’ll be right there with you as we move at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
