Michael Quintana, M.Ed., LMFT

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with extensive experience in the mental health field. I specialize in providing therapy to individuals, couples, and families who want to improve their relationship. I work from an empathic perspective that understands how difficult life can be for everyone at one time or another. It’s my goal to help you find your way back into living life fully and freely without feeling like you’re always struggling or on guard.

Therapy is not about fixing people; it’s about helping them feel better so they can fix themselves!

Hello! I’m Melissa Diaz, a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate with a Master of Science in Marriage, Couple, and Family Counseling from Walden University.

With 13 years of experience as an educator, I love working with children, and I also enjoy supporting adults and couples in their journeys. Having personal experience with military life, I am familiar with the unique challenges it presents.

In my practice, I use expressive arts, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Inner Child Work, and Emotionally Focused Therapy to help you discover your needs and strengths.

My goal is to create a warm, collaborative space where you can find empowerment and live a fulfilling life.
