Heidi Purvis, M.A., NCC, Professional Counselor Registered Intern #R5245
The emotional support, mind and body connection, communication, and freedom an individual feels, and expresses, are important aspects to how meaning and purpose are experienced in life. Using an integrative mindful, trauma informed, person centered, Adlerian, REBT, CBT, and MI approach I collaborate with clients to deepen their strengths, and discover ways of emotionally connecting with themselves, others and the world. Through these non-judgmental approaches clients are encouraged to explore and create meaning socially, culturally, individually, and relationally.
Change is overwhelming and many often experience pain. Creating safety and support throughout the counseling process as clients learn about themselves and develop meaning, purpose, and emotional awareness is the underlying purpose in my therapeutic approach. Life is hard. Connecting meaning, purpose, and emotions are important pieces in developing skills and coping with life’s ups and downs.

Alex Franjola, M.A, QMHP, NCC, Professional Counselor Registered Intern R5681
Healing happens in relationship. The quality of our lives is directly related to the quality of our relationships with self, others, and the larger world. When these connections or channels of communication become impacted by stress, it can profoundly affect our emotional, mental, and physical health. Emotional wellness is the process of being able to oscillate from experience to experience with integrity, growth, resilience, meaning, and connection. Effective therapy is achieved through mutual collaboration and therapeutic alliance fostered between the counselor and the individual.
I utilize evidence- and practice-based therapy techniques to assist my clients in meeting their initial treatment goals. I tailor and customize strengths-based treatment plans to align with each client’s individual needs and hopes. My approach is person-centered and integrative; incorporating psycho-education, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), trauma informed care, solution-focused therapy, family systems theory, Gottman’s couples therapy, along with narrative and expressive modalities such as art and play therapy (PCIT Informed).
I have focused on enhancing client capacity-building and self-efficacy throughout my professional career. I am bilingual (English/Spanish) and incorporate working within each individual’s respective cultural framework(s). I have developed a diverse network of mental and behavioral health providers towards enhanced community support and referrals for my clients. If I am not the right resource, I connect clients to the resources they seek; it takes a village, after all.
