Michael
Founder of Free At Heart Online Therapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
License # 61303
Therapist, Clinical Supervisor
"I am very passionate about working with people who are searching to make their dreams come true or to heal injured relationships. I earnestly study psychological theories, techniques and strategies to create a powerful, positive impact in the lives of my clients. I follow three principles seeking to improve. First I focus on my personal growth & spiritual development. Second, I continuously study/refine the techniques I use to help people. Third, I consciously evaluate the effectiveness of my work and take the feedback from the people I am working with. While I pull from many types of therapy I have trained in, I primarily employ Internal Family Systems Therapy in my work with clients and training the staff of Free At Heart Online Therapy.."

Lindsay
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)
License # 132441
Therapist
Lindsay uses alternative therapies that will allow you to be an active participant through creative arts, powerful self-healing tools and effective coping skills. Because being true to "thine own self" requires stepping out of comfort zones, her Artful Listeners sessions integrate somatic experiencing using Expressive Arts and the structure of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). “My practice encompasses a person-centered and humanistic approach to therapy, to be present for you with warmth and empathy.” Sessions are pro-active, personalized with respect to the DBT assumption that each person is currently doing the best they can, and that they have the desire to improve. Areas of specialty include Anxiety, Fears & Eating Disorders.

Amancay
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
License # 109491
Therapist
Amancay works with adolescents, adults & families helping them accomplish their goals. “Goals can be forefront & achievable or explored together through a therapy.” Her approach is individualistic, applying intervention tactics specific to needs & situation. “I use real world techniques such as problem solving & mindfulness. These techniques can be used to brainstorm solutions and create a plan to reach your goals by building your intrinsic motivation and becoming more aware of yourself & your environment. Everything that happens in the outside world is uncontrollable, unpredictable & can sometimes feel unmanageable. Bravery might be needed to take the next step in facing your mental health & I am here to support you through that first step & beyond.”

Miranda
Miranda provides individual and family therapy to adolescents and adults. She believes that healing happens in relationship, and that through work in therapy, we can learn to truly live again, stepping out of survival mode and into our own vibrant and unique selves. Miranda specializes in family and attachment trauma, child abuse, sexual abuse and assault, relationship concerns, parenting, and mood disorders such as bipolar, depression, and anxiety disorders. Her therapeutic orientation is heavily trauma-informed and attachment-based. In addition to traditional talk therapy, Miranda utilizes mindfulness and somatic techniques to promote post-traumatic recovery and growth.
"Healing is more than just feeling better. It's even more than just reaching your goals. It's like coming home to your own heart. Let's discover the way there together."

Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT)
License #117224
Therapist
I have worked in a variety of settings with children, adolescents, and adults. I enjoy working with clients of all ages and backgrounds, but I find my work with teens to be particularly rewarding. I strive to ensure that clients feel welcome and safe when working with me. I am also LGBTQ+ affirming.
I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches to assist my client's in their healing journey. We don't have to "just talk" - I am comfortable with bringing art, music, and gaming into the therapeutic space. I believe processing and healing can come from a variety of ways that we enjoy expressing ourselves.
