Belinda Esther Oliver

Greetings and welcome. My name is Belinda Esther Oliver. I love family. I am a mother to three sons, a daughter-in-law, and a grandmother to five boys. However, I know our families sometimes struggle and need a support system. Hence, I am an Auntie and Elder to many in my community who affectionally call me Momma Bee or Auntie Bee.

Helping people to work through their challenges and discover their life purpose has been my passion for over 35 years as a coach, minister, and friend. I recently returned to school to become a Marriage and Family Therapist.

I have clinical experience working with individuals and couples of varied ages, ethnicities, and identities. I am particularly passionate about working with LGBTQ+ couples, utilizing Intimacy From The Inside Out (IFIO) and Solution-Focused approaches.

Shanaira Christie

Hello, I am Shanaira Christie, Marital Family Therapist Associate. My approach to therapy is creating a safe space for individuals, couples, and families to thrive through exploring life experiences and events that have shaped who they are and reconnecting with themselves by breaking themes and generational patterns. This approach helps with clients being exposed to new perspectives and connections between themselves, partners, families, etc. Together we can walk the journey of healing and learning new techniques on how to handle life’s challenges and rewards. Healing is not linear, but I know you have what it takes because you are enough!

I am Katrina Scianna, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and AAMFT Approved Supervisor.

I have advanced post-masters training in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) for use in trauma-based work and the Gottman Method for use in Couples-based work.

My approach to therapy is two fold: a focus on symptom relief and a focus on core issues driving the presenting symptoms. We start our work together with providing tools, coping skills and lifestyle modification suggestions early on to decrease your symptoms to provide some relief in your daily life...
