Aletha Eastwood (she/her)
Licensed Professional Counselor
MA, Certified Hakomi Therapist, Level 2 AEDP therapist
AEDP recognizes that relational traumas occur when we are isolated in our experience in the face of overwhelming emotions. We become contracted around this traumatic experience, unable to move forward. Healing occurs in undoing the aloneness, giving space to gently re-orient the contraction toward our natural curiosity and creativity. In working together, we can rebuild your capacity to be with your emotions, out of survival mode, and into your natural state of flourishing.

Licensed Professional Counselor
MA, LPC, Approved Supervisor (OBLPCT)
Some emotions ask to be witnessed before they can soften. In AEDP, we stay close to what’s real - with care, slowness, and connection - so what once felt unbearable becomes something you can hold with more ease.

Jona Behrer (she/her)
Licensed Professional Counselor
Together we create a safe and secure therapeutic relationship. My presence in therapy is warm, attuned, & empathic. I help clients break out of patterns of anxiety and defense. Using moment to moment awareness, I support clients as they deepen into & process their feelings. I help clients regulate during emotional release; and to reduce feelings of overwhelm & aloneness. Following this process, I help clients to make sense of their feelings & note insights of change and healing.
