How Does MNB
Do Therapy
Therapy is showing up as you are. Sharing your experiences, feeling validated, and being challenged emotionally, especially as it relates to identifying and processing uncomfortable feelings. I have spent years walking alongside children, teens, and their families who struggle with getting along, feeling heard, needing validation, and wanting to support each other but are unsure which step to take.
I have heard parents say: “I just don't know how to reach my child. I'm at a loss, and I don't know what to do or who I can reach out to for help without feeling embarrassed or judged."
On the other hand, I have had children and teens say, “my parents won't listen, they'll judge, it's uncomfortable, and they don't understand where I am coming from.”
Does any of these resonate with you? If so, reach out, and let’s connect.

Self-Pay Rates
Individual Therapy: $140
Trying to find balance can be challenging at times, overwhelming, especially when you are navigating multiple roles, such as being a caregiver, parent, guardian of a loved one, spouse, widow/widower, dealing with college and/or work-related stress, or just trying to identify who you are. Life should be about finding balance, but as we all know, life comes at us fast and at times unexpectedly. Therapy can provide you with a safe, compassionate space to rediscover yourself and navigate life’s challenges. Individual therapy can provide clarity, build resilience, and empower you to create a more fulfilling life.
Family Therapy: $140
Is your family struggling with navigating changes such as adoption, blending families, divorce, grief and loss, mental health challenges, or trauma? As a parent, are you concerned about your relationship with your child and unsure how to support them? I use approaches such as structural and strategic family therapy interventions to create a safe space for you and your child(ren) to learn and practice new ways to communicate and develop new rituals to strengthen your relationship. I aim to help each member feel heard and learn ways to strengthen their communication and relationships.
Adolescent/
Teen Therapy: $160
Being a preteen/teen can be challenging, confusing, and complex; my goal is to meet weekly for therapy as this could allow your preteen/teen an opportunity to build a therapeutic relationship outside of their immediate circles (family/friends) to help them feel heard, understood, and in a space that allows them to process their feelings in a healthy way. My goal is to help you feel supported and teach you ways to express yourself effectively, so you don't suppress your thoughts and feelings. Teens often find me relatable and trustworthy, and parents who have struggled for years to find the right therapist have referred to me as the “teen whisperer.”
Specialized Services:
Trauma Assessment $1,000
Trauma assessment is a structured interview conducted with the identified client, along with their parent and/or guardian. The purpose of this assessment is to gather information about the client's family background and their mental, social, and emotional experiences related to trauma. It aims to understand how trauma has impacted the client’s mental health and overall well-being. This assessment is crucial for identifying trauma-related symptoms such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety. The information collected helps establish the client’s diagnostic criteria and guides the treatment planning process.
Specialized Services:

Memorie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a credentialed Sexually Abusive Youth Clinician (CSAYC), trained to evaluate concerns related to problematic or harmful sexual behaviors.
