Rebecca AllenMA, LPC, LAC
I earned my BA in Psychology from the University of Colorado at Boulder and my Master’s in Counseling Psychology from the University of Colorado at Denver. I believe it takes a great deal of courage to be willing to reach out for help with the issues that are getting in the way of your life. I believe an effective way to change and heal is being authentic with another person who is present for you in a therapeutic setting. As a seasoned therapist, I have experience and feel comfortable working with individuals 15 years and up and couples who are facing anxiety, depression and substance use issues. Once you share what you would like to address, I will provide you with options to choose from among the skills and techniques I have learned over the years. To partner with you in achieving your goals, some of the techniques I utilize are rooted in CBT, DBT and Motivational Interviewing. I hope to accompany you on your journey.

SHERRIE WILLIAMS-ROWEMA, LPC
Before pursuing a career in professional counseling, I worked as a case manager and advocate serving teenage mothers, under-employed young adults and families in crisis for 10 years. I also served as a counselor at The Baraka School, a Kenyan boarding school serving middle school boys from Baltimore City. As a licensed professional counselor, I worked with Traci Berry McGhee for 15 years in private practice in St. Louis, MO and at Imani Therapy, a wellness center for women and girls. There, I provided counseling, would speak at school engagements, and facilitate SistaKeeper Circles and groups, retreats and workshops. The mission was to encourage young women to find their purpose and encompassed Prevention, Intervention and Awareness, focused on the issues that impact women and their communities.
I have experience and provide individual and family treatment for issues including marriage relationships, self-esteem, identity issues, life-transitions, depression, anxiety, and parent-teen relationships. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other therapeutic techniques and strongly believes in the concept of ‘ubuntu’ – I am who I am because of who we are. I strive to provide a supportive and trusting environment for each person to make decisions, problem solve and move forward toward professional and personal goals.

JOHANNA LOPEZ-MENDEZMSW, LCSW
I am a Bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Currently, I focus on supporting individuals who are looking to improve relationships, are experiencing or experienced intimate partner violence, childhood abuse and neglect, sexual abuse and issues of acculturation and immigration. I am trained in EMDR, IFS, Sensorimotor psychotherapy, DMSN, Cognitive behavioral therapy, and Motivational Interviewing; and my approach in therapy is largely strength based. I am also a TRE (Trauma Release Exercises) certified provider. I integrate TRE to support clients processing their trauma in their body using trauma release exercises.
I was born and raised in Venezuela. My background was in Teaching ESL (English as a Second Language), and I taught in an inner-city school for several years in Venezuela. The families I served faced many challenges (poverty, gang and drug exposure, trauma) and they had little to no access to mental health services. After years of teaching, I moved to the USA where I worked as a teacher again in an inner-city school. This inspired me to engage in social justice work with a special focus on mental health. I returned to school and earned my degree, from the University of Denver, in Social Work with a concentration on Family Systems.
As a therapist, I truly enjoy joining people in their healing journey. I strongly believe people are resilient and capable of healing despite the hardships of the past.

KRISTI BROWNMS, LMFT
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s degree from Texas Woman’s University. I believe that problems are often the catalyst to initiate counseling and when overwhelmed, it often becomes easier to focus on problems rather than solutions.
My counseling approach utilizes systems theory to identify problems instead of seeing problems residing within the individual. The system generates the problem and the two are maintained by each other, and behavior is understood in the context of its environment. Together in a caring and respectful environment, we will discover your goal for the best version of your future.
My specialties include relationship, child and adolescent issues. Other competencies include ADHD, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Chronic Pain, Codependency, coping skills, divorce, emotional disturbance, family conflict, grief, infertility, infidelity, OCD, ODD, parenting, peer relationships, school issues, self-esteem, self-harm, sexual abuse, trauma and PTSD. I work with toddlers/preschoolers to adult, and see individuals, couples and family. The methods I use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Gottman Method, Motivational interviewing, Narrative, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy.

JORGE FLORESMA, LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master’s in Professional Counseling from Texas State University and have been a practicing therapist since June 2018. I work with a wide variety of issues such as depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress, trauma, regulation, substance abuse, and communication. I have worked primarily at agencies and have helped individuals and families in crisis as well as providing traditional individual therapy. I have worked with children (8+) to adults of all ages, backgrounds, and cultures. I am also able to provide therapy in Spanish.

My theoretical orientation is an eclectic approach of Person-Centered theory, Existential Theory, EMDR, and regularly use of Animal-Assisted Counseling and Sand tray techniques. I strive to help people be the best version of themselves, regain attunement with themselves and others, and increase awareness around their passions in life.

I’m a good fit for people that want to address issues holistically and/or focus on doing work on a few select topics or events. I’m also a good fit for many culturally diverse people. Working with me is best mostly in-person because I heavily lean towards somatic therapies that lose a lot of impact even if I can do them online. I can teach some coping skills but tend to focus on trying to resolve the entire issue rather than just address it. Awareness is half the battle.

I understand that deciding to incorporate therapy into your life is not always an easy decision. I believe that engaging in therapy can be challenging work that calls for courage and vulnerability. I strive to create a safe and inclusive therapeutic space that invites self-discovery and hope.
